I didn't know that. Nice!

The hair is pretty distracting.

I dunno....he wasn't as bad a Thomas Hayden Church, but I still had a loathing on for him.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

How bout as Harvey Pekar? I don't actually remember that movie very well, possibly he was punchable.

I think my attitude towards the writing in Leverage: Redemption is essentially that it is like someone gave a seminar on How To Write Leverage and the final projects were filmed. Everyone probably passed, they got the needed elements in for the most part, but not a lot of A+ work. And probably episode 5 is where I settled into that, which is why I like it

I didn't see that one. I'm hoping he has more unpunchable movies than punchable movies, and that I just statistically happened to see the punchable ones.

I liked it when I saw it, but that was quite a while ago. I don't remember any detail to allow for a real recommendation. I am pretty sure it's where Giamatti came to my attention, fwtw

I've never seen Giamatti in an unpunchable role either, so odds aren't looking good.

I think that Paul Giamatti is pretty good at being punchabke, but in my head he is just like my geeky friend Phil.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

We watched Jungle Cruise last night and can report that Giamatti is *extremely* punchable in this role.

(The movie itself is kind of aggressively fine, in the style of Disney live action family movies from the 80s. It's not trying too hard to be hip and modern, which was a nice change.)

Rule of Thumb: if you have to try to be hip and modern, you aren't ... and won't be.
