    Tiny looks nothing like Michael Clarke Duncan.

    Other than they are big and black.

    Ving Rhames is the closest approximation.

    Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

    There was a time I mixed up Ving Rhames and Michael Clarke Duncan. I remember those two seconds well.

    Yeah, my girlfriend and I pretty much see the three of them as some kind of weird, face-sharing trio.

    Congratulations on being kind of racist.

    I love most of the shit you pitch around here, but Tiny Lister absolutely does bear a resemblance to Michael Clarke Duncan, and it's more than just being black.

    I guess that's why people are always getting Robert Deniro and Mandy Patinkin confused.

    Tell me...did you strain yourself reaching that hard, or did you remember to stretch properly first?

    I thought that Bashir and Baltar were played by the same dude.

    I also used to wonder why Van Wilder was hosting a show on Animal Planet.

    You know what's better than confusing two people who look only even slightly alike?

    Thinking the same person in two different movies is two different people.

    I really wish people would quit confusing Van Wilder with the guy who played Deadpool in Wolverine.

    Its a simple case of 'I haven't seen the Dark Knight in a long time, and mistook him for another actor', but don't let me stop your snap judgements. A grand example for an admin to set.

    Sometimes I get Morgan Freeman confused with Michael Clarke Duncan.

    They just look so alike.

    That one's easy. Morgan Freeman has hair.

    But...if you shaved his head, I doubt even their parents would be able to tell the difference.

    I dunno, Michael Clarke Duncan had a pretty good voice.

    I'd love to hear him do march of the penguins.

    Fuck it. I really thought this guy was going to be racking up the oscars in a few years. He was awesome in every movie he was in, even if the movie itself was awful. I can't believe he's dead at fucking 54. Fuck it fuck it fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!

    Morgan Freeman's voice is more of a celebrity than the rest of Morgan Freeman combined.

    What's great about that one is how fast they got back to camera. Once you get the close-up of Seal's face, they crash back to the anchor with the wrong over-the-shoulder graphic behind her, which means somebody saw it, realized it, went "OH SHIT" and made the call abruptly.

    My money's on the audio operator; they have nothing better to do than to watch screens.

    Pretty much every line he has in Daredevil

    Especially his disbelief at Daredevil's identity

    I think I read an article once years ago that said depending on where you grew up the part of the brain that recognizes faces can have trouble telling the difference between ethnic groups you weren't exposed to as a child, but it's also super easy to retrain and actually thinking that (race) all looks the same is hella stupid.

    I think I have to see this movie now, just because people keep praising his performance.

    I honestly think Daredevil gets a lot of undeserved shit

    It ain't great, but it's far from the worst and pretty enjoyable overall

    But yeah, Michael Clarke Duncan and Colin Farrell are the best parts of the movie
