Additional vomit-induction: the singer of this band is 47. Watch this video again, with that in mind.

Saying "He's way too old for that sort of immature assholery" 
is true, but that's very different than saying it's unrealistic, or that it would NEVER happen

It seems that your entire dispute with this film is based on a belief that no one would walk out on a conversation…
Well, allow me to re-suspend your disbelief: People walk out on each other during conversations. I have done it; people have done it to me. And I'm not nearly as big of an asshole as Greenberg.

Because (a) it wasn't very good, and (b) it's the type of super-serious stuffy drama that, even when done very well, no one wants to see.

I double-posted, somehow… several hours late.

It certainly had its work cut out for it. John Cusack is basically the personification of big-time showbiz glamor.

Sylvester Stallone; Cop Land
He sacrificed the one thing he prized above all (his body) in some shameless angling for some prestige.

If writer/directors change facts and it makes it a better story I don't see why you're complaining. If you don't like that, allow me to direct you to: books; wikipedia.

"The Beaver: An XXX Porn Parody"

George Lucas is not only allowed, but encouraged.

The apology to the daughter is at least lightened by some humor.

Of all the ZMF imitators, this one is perhaps the most perplexing. I honestly can't tell if it's parody or just sincere imitation.

All of De Niro's allegedly phoned-in shitty performances are in movies I would never see, so I don't get why everyone's always complaining about them. If the movie warrants it, he's still up to the task.

David Lynch ruined my ability to listen to pop songs from the '50s without getting creeped the fuck out.

Adam Sandler has never been in a straight-up comedy that has been a financial failure. His dramatic movies may have flopped, but for 15 years every comedy he's been in has passed $100 million, which is unheard of. He's never had a mega-blockbuster like "Austin Powers" or "Ghostbusters" though, so maybe it's not fair

Impressive
I could see a lucrative tenure at SyFy for this ambitious Tamil director.
