Balki the Trash Talker

October 21, 2009 at 2:49pm PST

What is it this week and trash talking? The latest quasi-celeb to badmouth his former co-stars is, oddly enough, Bronson Pinchot, better known as Balki from Perfect Strangers. Believe it or not he was actually in other things too.

On Tom Cruise, he said: "We thought [he] was the biggest bore on the face of the Earth," and that he "made constant, constant unrelated homophobic comments."

On Denzel Washington: "he’s one of the most unpleasant human beings I’ve ever met in my life, but he’s this mega-superstar."

On Bette Midler's treatment of the director of The First Wives Club: "[She] was such a bitch to him. While he was directing, she would be rolling her eyes, pantomiming with her favorite actors, and she made it very difficult. And he was at his wit’s end. He was actually a very nice man, but she was very unkind to him on that movie. Am I not supposed to say these things?"

At least he's sort of self-aware. We're sure all of these A-listers could care less what Balki things of them, frankly.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
