There's something innately, intuitively subversive about his take on things. Really, really funny, without rules. You wouldn't call it satire -- I'd say it's better than satire. And I often think of films as comedies when they're not comedies. "Festen (The Celebration)," I thought, was very funny. It had much more value, because it kicked hard. Whereas something that comes along and says, "Hi, I'm a comedy," like "Tropic Thunder," makes me want to rip up the whole cinema -- just a godawful waste of money and time.
