I'm glad to hear someone who thinks like I do. Whenever I look at the 100 Most Famous People List (or whatever celebrity list), I see very few people that I would actually want to spend time around.

Hollywood film actors become tedious after you know them for awhile. At first they are funny and interesting and most of all entertaining, but it becomes a bit annoying after their psychosis becomes apparent. Average people are much more interesting (except maybe some CPA's ). I do find character actors more achored (usually), then "film stars", but Hollywood is a town where too many people are "on" all the time...there is just now "down time" there (why I stay in NYC). Tobolowsky seems like a nice sort of guy, and he is a fine character actor, but if you're use to this kind of person you just get use to the signs. I'd rather chew nails than deal with this type of person on a daily basis. To get an idea of what it is like, watch this movie forty times in a row and see how much you like it.

For a documentary-style movie that seems to have been shot over the course of one day, STBP has an engaging story with an honest-to-goodness arc. Mr. Tobolowsky tells many entertaining tales over the course of the film, but none are as fascinating as the play of his gigantic ego against the backdrop of his patient and admiring friends. The filmmaker --a close friend of the subject-- states at the outset that he is trying to "show Stephen as I know him". Whether or not he succeeded, only he can say. But the resulting portrait is complex, and not entirely flattering. Recommended for students of art and human nature.
