Robert Downey Jr. Talks 'Inherent Vice'

[Madeleine Maudlin]

Downey is a great actor, he would be perfect indeed.  IF, we can forgive
him for those Iron Idiot movies.  I think we can.  And I've only read the
first 100 pages of Vice.

C.Diaz is the polar opposite of meaty-female.  I don't know a whole lot of
McCarthy, only read the one with the tall mean albino, the desert white
whale, and saw what's the name a few times, oh and then his other film, the
Wasteland, but I don't really see that Diaz face being a fit anywhere in
his universe.

Who is the actor in that Wasteland film?  Looks just like a manager at a
Panera I used to go to.  Brodin.  I don't know Bigfoot, but Brodin is
better than Crowe I'd say.
