Joel Anderson

No, you go.

I just think it's interesting that you could make the argument.

that he does not take himself seriously as an actor again until Oppenheimer.

Like, he does Iron Man.

I'm not saying he's not taking that seriously.

But he's largely, like, playing.

Like, there's very few roles that he does in between this and... Like, he's playing the character of movie actor Robert Downey, just popping into movies.

And it's like, I almost wonder if he got, like, too close to the sun on this one.

I was honestly thinking of the people who he's supposed to be lampooning and how bad it would have been if Russell Crowe or Colin Farrell tried to do this.

It would have just been like, we got to burn the negative.

Colin Farrell would have been more black women than Robert Downey Jr.

Colin Farrell, we got proof.

No, I mean, I think it's something, if you had probably gone back to pre-Chaplin, before Chaplin, like less than zero, some of the stuff that he was doing in the 80s, you would probably be like, this is going to be Dustin Hoffman, right?

Like, this is going to be, this guy could do anything and might do a range of comedic and drama performances.

So for him to take 15 years,

almost 20 when we get to Doomsday.

Yeah.

To be like, I'm going to basically play Tony Stark, a couple of Sherlock Holmes movies, a couple of throwaway kind of Hollywood dramas.

I always think about like, I mean, PTA has debated about how real this was, but like he was supposed to be an inherent vice.

He was supposed to play the detective that Joaquin Phoenix played.
