I've always wanted to see a movie about Norman Mailer, and admittedly Ben Stiller is a wild left-field choice . . . but I don't hate it.

I don't know if you ever watched his pre-stardom Ben Stiller show (with Bob Odenkirk) but back then he was quite adept at real life, very precise mimicry......that was a long time ago but my guess is they will portray Mailer as a sad comic clown - which in this case he kind of was.......and this story is particularly relevant in many ways......you could make several movies about Norman Mailer tbh............at least one about Mailer and Rip Torn  |
