He liked simple pleasures, like butter in his ass and lollipops in his mouth. That's just him. That's just something that he enjoyed. Call him crazy, call him a pervert.

First thing that popped up for me.

Seinfeld said the library cop scene in his apartment cracked him up so much that they had to cobble the final scene together from 8 takes, he kept cracking up. Hall was hilarious as a dragnet like character. RIP

holy shit I just watched Mr. Bookman last night! so good in that episode, funny, funny stuff.

what do kids know...

RIP

"Sure, we're too old to change the world, but what about that kid, sitting down, opening a book, right now, in a branch at the local library and finding drawings of pee-pees and wee-wees on the Cat in the Hat and the Five Chinese Brothers? Doesn't HE deserve better? Look. If you think this is about overdue fines and missing books, you'd better think again."

[Post Oak 20,217]

This is one of the funniest things I've ever watched.  The writing is superb and the delivery is amazing.

Seinfeld is already cracking up at "You don't have any instacoffee?"

“You and your good time buddies.”  RIP.

Waiting for Bookman to chime in.

Highly underrated and under-seen is his incredible performance in Robert Altman's Secret Honor, where he channels Richard Nixon monologuing with a whiskey in hand for an hour and a half.

Dang I posted about his Bookman scene yesterday in the Seinfeld thread before I saw this. RIP Officer Bookman, plenty of Folgers Crystals in heaven.

I’m not sure how to actually tag someone on this site. I don’t think that just typing @Bookman works. But there’s a user here who goes by “Bookman.” I’m surprised he hasn’t commented.

His best role.

[GreenspointTexas 9,604]

Awesome in Hard Eight. Also great in Talented Mr Ripley, Rush Hour, Modern Family, Seinfeld, Magnolia, Sum of all Fears, etc

[Nole-4-Life 804]

He just wanted to make a dollar and a cent in this business....

You have to type the symbol and beginning of the username and then select it from the drop down.

Boogie Nights is an absolutely amazing movie for how the actors were cast for their roles at “exactly” the perfect time in their respective careers:  Mark Wahlberg, Julianne Moore, Burt Reynolds’s, Don Cheadle, John C Reilly, William Macy, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Heather Graham, Robert Ridgely, Melora Walters, Ricky Jay, Alfred Molina and Philip Baker Hall.

I don’t get a drop down menu. Hell, I can’t even navigate to the ignore list anymore. I complained about it once and it was reenabled for about 15 minutes and I bookmarked that page. That’s the only way I can get to it now to ignore the trolls.

Then you're almost certainly being punished for something, @WhatTheBuck

Or maybe user interface design just isn’t immamac’s strong suit.

And he did it with the cadence instead of just trying to look like Friday.  We need an Oscar for character actors.
