Last night I watched this movie called "The Deal", the only real reason why a saw this is because William Macy is the protagonist, and I find him to be utterly fantastic and hilarious.
The movie is about this film producer who is bankrupt and hasn't done anything for like 8 years, his nephew interrupts him when he is trying to commit suicide and gives him his script, which gives him the opportunity to continue his career. As the movie develops, the excellent script turns into some kind of crazy Jew movie about a Jew who is some kind of black shwarsenegeregen and kills Muslims and stuff. The process is fantastically made and the whole time I couldn't stop laughing.
IMDB gave it it 5.8 but I think that people just didn't get it. Most jokes are basic, but they have a second meaning, and if you get them, the whole thing is marvellous. Seriously, I really recommend it, it was just what I wanted to see.
See you soon.

William H Macy is on my list of actors I would watch in anything. The others would be Philip Seymour Hoffman, Gary Oldman, Emma Thompson, Tony Leung (one prentious choice) and The Clooney. Add Julianne Moore and Al Pacino, if you can make this a 'pre90s' list... Ricardo Darín gets an honorable mention. More of this on the IB blog.
