Albert Brooks is a chumscrubber; he scrubs my chum
I know he was a writer on SNL and, Jesus' pooh, he was in Taxi Driver, but why is this white Detective-Ricardo-Tubbs lookalike still acting? As far as I know, his core audience consists mostly of great-great grandparents, and they don't go out to the movies much anymore, right?
And why he purports to know enough about Islam to be able to satirize Americans' understanding of it is beyond me. Since when is Albert Brooks an authority on the perception of religion — any religion — in our society? I like the other Brooks so much better.
