Felt these two fitted well together. If you let the gifs go for a bit you will see both smile and nod at the same time. ❤

Trial & Error (TV Series) S1/E5 'Secrets and Lies' (2017) - Bob Gunton

Bob was always a very attractive man. Especially in a suit.

I got shot by Bob Gunton but rather than seeking medical attention or panicking I just told everyone who would listen how annoying the bruise around the hole was.

The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

Showing my partner "Monk" and the highlights so far: 1. Captain Sottlemeyer is now "Captain Dad" 2. Monk is being read as 100% autistic. 3. Their favourite character by a country mile is Sharona. They are about to reach Natalie... 4. Kevin Dorffman fills them with such pure, unrelenting hatred and bile, and it fuels me, they didn't even hate Bob Gunton this much in "Shawshank" 5. Dr Kroger is surprisingly wholesome. 6. Young Billy Burke is weird. 7. Bob Gunton being a wholesome dad and not prickly prick father in law is a welcome change, they only know them as "Owlsley". 8. They feel very clever when they get the mystery. It's great, and super fun to rewatch.

BEHOLD! The Stephen King Villain Molecule. All connected to each other in three movies or less, *without* using the movie they were the villain in.

Before you ask, he was the “One… quarter… portion” alien.

Personal bonus points for using Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, my favorite one. That Christian Slater cameo comin’ in clutch.

Royal Pains (TV Series) S3/E11 ’A Farewell to Barnes’ (2012) - Bob Gunton

Bob is one of the finest daddies around. I had a crush on him ever since I saw him in 24 and later the movie Tenure where he showed his ass.

Found out today that Bob Gunton was Sweeney Todd for about 3 years on the West End. Incredible.

Patch Adams (1998)

While I didn't enjoy this film, that doesn't mean you won't. No matter what I say, the people involved in this project did it: they actually made a movie. That's something to be applauded. With that established...

Patch Adams is based on a true story, which is shocking. Not because a real-life doctor called Hunter “Patch” Adams existing seems impossible; because this film is so phoney, so emotionally manipulative, so misguided and manufactured not an ounce of it rings true. Obviously green-lit as a dramatic vehicle for Robin Williams, the story he’s given leaves a bad taste in your mouth despite his best efforts. It was a hit upon release and you can see why. This is exactly the kind of manipulative melodrama that would sucker indiscriminating viewers.

While self-administered in a mental institution, Hunter “Patch” Adams (Williams) finds that humou - rather than the cold, clinical attitude most doctors hold - yields the best results among the patients. After enlisting at the Medical College of Virginia, he questions the attitude his teachers hold towards the patients, raising the ire of Dean Walcott (Bob Gunton) and his roommate, Mitch (Philip Seymour Hoffman).

You can tell which scenes Robin Williams juiced up with his improv. Those moments are great and genuinely funny. The man had a warmth to him that made you believe in his character. Patch seems genuinely sweet and sympathetic. The rest of the picture is unintentionally funny when it isn’t cloying, overly sanctimonious and overbearing. I’m still shocked we didn’t get a scene of Dean Walcott slaming his fists upon a table yelling “Aaaaadams!” like the crusty dean in so many frat-centered comedies. The man’s a cartoon, a bizarro-world version of Patch who wishes every doctor could surgically remove their emotional glands to be as robotic as possible while practicing. This portrait of the medical world is an insult to doctors, who - according to this film - do not care about their patients at all.

I could criticize the film for diverging from the real story of Patch Adams but I won't. While the 47-year-old Williams is twice the age the real man was when he began his career, the casting is good. It's fine to stray from reality because movies are not real life. If you want to take liberties, however, do it to make the film more interesting. This brings us to the worst character in the film: Monica Potter as Carin, a fellow medical student. In a movie filled with stereotypes, she may be the worst; a love interest introduced where none is needed, a token female whose sole purpose is to serve the male lead. It gets downright offensive in the end but even before then, it’s kinda creepy to see Williams flirting with the then-27-year-old who tells him she’s not interested. He persists until eventually, she relents. It makes the sweet Patch seem like a creep and further undermines his character. Perpetually goofy and never seen studying (though we’re assured he’s acing his tests and brilliant at medicine), Patch steals medical supplies, bursts into patients’ rooms unannounced, invades people’s privacy and repeatedly ignores his superiors’ orders. You understand why doctors feel the need to remain emotionally distant from their patients. They're very likely to see someone in their care die. It happens in this movie. There is something to be said about being too cold but this movie takes things to such extremes that no one would ever want to be cared for by Patch.

Relying on one cliché after another and going for cheap sentiments every time is the favourite tactic of director Tom Shadyac but let’s not forget to blame screenplay writer Steve Oedekerk. Ultimately, Patch Adams is interested in giving Robin Williams a role. Everything else was an afterthought. (On DVD, June 7, 2019)
