This afternoon, I watched Dreamgirls, which I loved. Normally, not really a reason to post, but after, I was watching Eddie Murphy on Inside the Actor's Studio and it really dawned on me how talented he is. Like as I'm watching the movie, he's pretty good, but I keep thinking "he's so washed up. what has he done recently besides daddy day care and the haunted mansion and knocking up Mel B/G of the Spice Girls." But James Lipton, in his usual kissass way, really highlighted amazing moments from Murphy's career. I forgot how much I liked the movie Bowfinger and how he was one of the few good people to come out of SNL in the dark years post-original-cast and pre-Phil Hartman. Which reminds me that I used to have an intense aversion to Joe Piscopo, and most of the cast at that time. But now I'm getting teary over the fact that E! took the rights for SNL away from comedy central and it's so hard to catch old episodes nowadays. Tres le sigh...
Point being, the guy was an 80s pop star, a spot-on impressionist, and a hilarious stand-up comedian. And I forgot all that because of the crap he's been doing lately. So hooray for Dreamgirls.
