点播频道的节目编排人应该是看片狂那一类型的。经常把一个人出演的几个片子编在某一段时间内集中放，而且那个人还不一定是主角，那些片子也都是烂片。一事无成的烂片王时间很多，照单全收。
今次是Robert Downey Jr.



你知道发现一个自己欣赏的人生日和自己一样是件有趣开心的事情。大概是充满了毫无逻辑的归属感。比如01年的时候喜欢《纯真年代》的配乐喜欢疯了，搜出来Elmer Bernstein，是一个同月同日出生的老头。两三年后的《Far From Heaven》的配乐，我也痴狂，后来发现还是这个老先生。他就是喜欢用那种永远郁结纠缠徘徊的调调说一件荡半口气回一截肠的压抑情绪，敏感而悲伤，正碰上我那根哭不出来的琴弦。于是感谢上帝，同月同日出生的同感让人激动不已。只不过早出生了60多年，所以前一两年他走先了。不过这可不是经常发生的，一次The Cardigans里面Nina的老公，一次Elmer Bernstein，还有便是这个Robert Downey Jr了。芽月蜜蜂日，放纵，颓废，软弱，敏感。其实大概只是正好吸取到了他们展示出来的某些东西然后心理作用了一下而已。你看我和Duras暂时就没有什么共鸣的说，暂时也没有机会喜欢上Heath Ledger。

话题回到Robert Downey Jr.，Bob。
这个老小子，第一次被他煞到是几时呢？实在想不起来了，大概是Natural Born Killers，大概，觉得他是混合的，JonnyDepp的阴和Gary Oldman的阳，隐约亚洲南美气息的面孔上是一双牛眼睛，放浪软弱神经的形象是他天生的工具。对他印象深刻是因为看完片子后某生说，这位太子党爷在生活上也是放浪神经的，戒毒、入狱，在自己事业蒸蒸日上的大好年华里自己折腾沉浮。后来的看电影上好像也介绍过。

出生在Greenwich, New York, New York. 从出生地也可以想得到怎样的父母怎样的童年。爸爸是Robert Downey Sr. 在美国搞地下电影的老不羁，父子最不相似的大概是成年后两人的身高。
5岁上片出道，8岁接过父亲递来的大麻，17岁辍学，搞戏剧搞电影搞liveshow，中年时期还出了专辑。
正因为175公分的身高和恰当的长相，当然还有天才的表演天赋，他找到了自己的跑道，Chaplin，英文不好的同学们，就是卓别林。一起飞便是奥斯卡最佳男主角提名。那年是1992年，他27岁。



Sr. 和 Jr.                       惟妙惟肖的喜剧大师



然后是出名的喝酒吸毒晃进陌生人家倒在儿童床上昏睡过去的岁月，以及一连串的被捕，磕药，藏药，非法携带枪支诸如此类的。
几进几出。





一脸废样。还有眼睛。迷晕。不过看看戒指还是算了。



2000年TV series Ally McBeal，半途杀出他，只演了10集就开始全面扫奖。
2002年左右的时候，刚刚拿完金球奖，结果因为再度吸毒进宫而丢了Ally McBeal的饭碗。本来制片人力挺他，不过他一再犯事严重影响剧组情绪以及拍摄进度，于是终被“点火”了。





看着这个发福的喷火毒龙Bob突然想起了Chanderler Bin，就是Perry Mathew，哥哥他在老友记中乎胖乎瘦也是因为吸毒和酗酒。




后来Bob结婚了，找了一个据说能让他不再复吸的女制片人。谁知道。

那个Gothika便是今天在点播剧院看的了，马蒂厄拍的，淹没于好莱坞的惊悚悬疑。Robert Jr是第1男配，一个戴眼镜而且总是相亲失败的精神科医生。前段还有些戏做，后半是女主Halley Berry一个人的天下，R不过和普通跑龙套的没有区别。最后只可怜的莫名的找到了Halley趴在玻璃门上，无声的说Sorry。 一个烂字。 但是这么正经的R，戴眼镜，斜挎书包，专业，搭不上女人的R还是很有趣的——仅限于前面一小部分。

一蹶不振的人，原本大好的星途，飘忽游荡，夹杂着成功与失败，每每在表演的vista里看见希望的时候就马上被drug幻惑去另一条路上，一晃10多年。据说05年拍摄Game6的时候居然是100$/day的薪酬。也可能是帮朋友忙？
但凡他是个精明而圆滑的上流社会的好同志，大概会在ocean's11 12里面分到一个神经质罗嗦的角色什么的。不过他就是个异数。所以The Singing Detective里面的那个不得停止思考，喋喋不休，神经兮兮，充满各种幻觉发作癔症的作家更肮脏些更放荡些大概就向他靠拢了。

2003年后Bob还是有起色的，自身仿佛不再是别人避之不及的毒品，schedule渐渐满了些。

随便折腾去吧，只是希望留出天赋的50%给工作。蜘蛛侠不在夜里摆荡着救人，金刚不爬上帝国大厦的顶端，绿巨人不变成绿色，都是很可惜的。





专辑：未来派 
未来派个屁，明明是个老派的颓废公子哥，jazz主，一如更加颓废跑去死的Chet Baker.
老派男人的未来派。温暖又悲伤。
