@benchleyparker YOU HAD DIFFICULTY TELLING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN POLLACK AND SPACEY. THATS LIKE NOT BEING ABLE TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A STRAIGHT BAR AND A GAY BAR AFTER YOUVE BEEN IN 1 FOR AN HOUR!

@benchleyparker ... it's Kevin Pollack, not Kevin Spacey.

I love this bit and actually think it is superior to the Walken one in the documentary. Albert Brooks is tough to get is you don't cock your head sideways because he is quite deadpan. Also, if you are a Pollak fan, I highly suggest his webcast at dubya dubya dubya kevinpollakschatshow dot cee oh emm It rocks. Two hour interviews with great comedy writers and actors. Good stuff. Live on Sunday.

@benchleyparker Spacey ?
This is one of the greatest impressions I've ever seen, precisely because Albert Brooks is so unique, so hilarious yet so dry - and Spacey completely captures that.
Unlike most old-school impressionists, he's not just getting the voice and facial inflections right, then relying on a few catch phrases. His exact phrasing, use of rhetorical questions, homespun yet brilliantly cerebral tales, subtle sense of being a victim of a world that doesn't quite understand his brilliance - he's got it all.

I return to this over and over because it makes me laugh so hard.
