Rowan is funnier.

This couldn't be more wrong.

one cannot posses that peculiar visage and fail to bring the funny.

I saw Holliday yesterday and have to agree with the gags coming too slowly. I feel like Mr. Bean is an extension of Mr. Hulot. More mischievous and awkward, funnier too. Of course there is 40 years between them.

I believe Mr. Tomorrow made this argument once ad the boards nearly migrated to Canada and killed him for it. I wasn't here for that, but it's talked about like the Great Tomorrow Massacre of 08, or something.

I haven't seen any. I'm guessing I should start with Playtime, right?
