So, you can watch every excruciating minute of Meet Joe Black on Hulu now, should you need a sleep aid or a reason to give up on life. But really, the only clip that you need see is the one above (a Videogum favorite).
Sidebar: I feel like one of my acting teachers in college forced our class to watch this movie for some sort of lesson about how to communicate one’s feelings on screen just through the eyes alone. Said teacher had at one point in his career worked on a forgettable movie with a young Brad Pitt and Ricky, er, Rick Schroder (Across the Tracks) and was I suppose impressed by the talent of the current heartthrob and 1/2 of the tabloid monster Brangelina. This professor also worked with Redd Foxx and Della Reese, and yet we were not schooled on acting by watching any episodes of “Sanford and Son,” or “Silver Spoons” for that matter (sorry Rick). I suppose that’s what I get for majoring in theater at a state school.
