I watched la confidential on a Trans pacific flight recently and DDV was a highlight

He's a national treasure, one of a kind. Sort of ... beyond character actor?
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 22 August 2025 02:46 (eight months ago)
His mugging is so casual. He's like Edward G. Robinson.

Good comparison. DD has great comic timing, too.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 22 August 2025 02:53 (eight months ago)
He's great and is maybe underrated for his ability to make his basic character work in a range of settings — mostly but not only comedy, and in comedy he can play either light or dark. His Penguin is legit disturbing.

He has this weird way of simultaneously playing the straight man and the human cartoon. Like, it's been decades since I've seen Twins, but as I remember it he's more or less like Tom Cruise in Rain Man, but, you know, Danny DeVito.

On the qt and in the down low and strictly whatever dude
― calstars, Friday, 22 August 2025 03:15 (eight months ago)
I thought this might be about that crazy Golden Bachelor episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. That was a big DeVito showcase and it was great that they got him working with Carol Kane.

no notes for him in LA Confidential

Need to rewatch Get Shorty

The three movies DeVito did with Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner were really popular with me when I was a kid.
I'd like to see 'The War of the Roses' and 'Ruthless People' with Bette Midler again.
― earlnash, Friday, 22 August 2025 22:08 (eight months ago)
There'd a War of the Roses remake out any day/month now, looks like Andy Samberg might be in the DeVito role.

It looks awful
― hungover beet poo (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 22 August 2025 23:28 (eight months ago)
I somehow totally forget his worthwhile run as director: Throw Momma from the Train, War of the Roses, Hoffa and Death to Smoochy. Hoffa is pretty boilerplate, but that was to be expected. Smoochy kind of went for a Shakes the Clown kind of dark comedy, iirc, but no one talks about the former in any sort of positive light. Regardless, they all make me wish he directed more movies.

You forgot Matilda, the best of the bunch.
― hungover beet poo (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 28 August 2025 15:46 (eight months ago)
I did! It's not the best of the bunch, imo, but it's pretty good!
