Not sure how accurate it is, but I recommend the movie The Founder.

It tells the story of Ray Kroc, matching much of what was said in this video. It was a little scary how ruthless Ray Kroc was, and Micheal Keaton did a great job portraying him.

It looks fun..
Glad to have Michael Keaton back again.

The Birdman recognition was the shot in the arm he needed.

I wonder if Buster Keaton is to comedy what H.P. Lovecraft is to horror...

Think i may watch me some Buster Keaton *promote

I did indeed. I liked it, but it didn't really connect with me, for some reason. Which is weird, because I love long steadicam shots, I quite like Alejandro González Iñárritu, and I'm a huge Michael Keaton fan, so I was pretty much expecting it to be my favourite movie of the year. Maybe my expectations were too high.

Beautiful; Chaplain and Keaton would be proud!

it's a little like a Buster Keaton movie without the vaudevillians trained in slapstick. This guy really needs to find better ways of entertaining himself.

American and British culture mix so much it is easy to find examples of braggart and self deprecating humor in both. I think Frye is mostly right though. If you want to compare apples to apples, compare The Big Bang Theory and The IT Crowd. The Nerds in the former manage to achieve some success in life and love, because they learn and grow, while the nerds in the latter never learn and grow and the humor is in their constant failure.

Ironically these differences go back a long time. British Charlie Chaplain's "Tramp" bathed in self deprecating humor, while American Buster Keaton's humor came from his ability to calmly cause a lot of mayhem. Personally I love both British and American humor.

That's like some scene from an old a Buster Keaton flick!!
