Man, this guy is essentially having a panic-induced breakdown on live television and it is one of the most tragically wonderful thing I have ever seen. Colbert is the man, and I think this is a great message, incredibly told, script-less as it may or may not be.

this looks hilarious

God, I listened to a recent interview McGregor did on NPR, where he freely admits to changing some of the source material in order to make the movie even more "Rothian." Besides the fact that this literally makes no sense, it succeeded in pissing me off and I wish this movie never had to exist.
