So let's see. He's hypersensitive to criticism, yet he deliberately, subconsciously does the exact things that will ensure he will get more criticism. Who does that remind me of?

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras.

But good point. In Smith's case I guess we have to substitute "eyebrow wiggling" for "speaking".
Let's just hope Sofia Coppola doesn't join that list...
