i hate christopher guest

The conventions of mockumentaries ensure that the pacing of the jokes is fairly slow. The humor usually requires that the characters be quirky and dense beyond all reason, but somehow seem real and recognizable. This puts a premium on a highly nuanced line delivery. Guest is ok at this, but he can't seem to get it to really take off and fly. Fred Willard and Caherine O'Hara, as noted in a post above, are true masters at it.

I've just noticed that Christopher Guest plays the young policeman who finds Charles Bronson after he's been shot in the leg in Central Park and is told to forget he ever saw anything it by Vincent Gardenia.

...in Death Wish, that is.

in response, Guest's policeman yelled "I hate you, and I hate your ASS FACE!"

He played a cop in The Hot Rock as well.

Didn't realize for the longest time that he was the 'strange and interesting plant' dude in Little Shop of Horrors.

he is the best person ever for that
