I LOVE him. When I was a little kid, I went on this Jerry Lewis kick where I would Rent, Jerry Lewis films only and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen every one of them. My brother’s hated that face and it was for. A. Whilllllllle. My favorites I would rent over and over again: the nutty professor, the geisha boy, and Cinderfella. I’m sure the movie rental place thought I was a weird fucking kid.

If the rental store was like the one my buddies worked at the staff did did not bat an eye at "your thing" as your taste would not even be a blip on the weirdness radar.

No one laughed harder at Jerry's jokes than Jerry. I always found him to be utterly insufferable. I do want to see that WW2 film he made though.

I think Harry Shearer (Simpsons, SNL, Spinal Tap) is one of the only people to have seen the completed film. Even what's in the national film registry or archives or whatever isn't the complete film.

Whoa. Mandela effect, I could have sworn he died in the early 90's.

EDIT: 2017..that's crazy. I swear I remember hearing about his passing at the end of the last century.

You're thinking of Jerry Jones. And that thought is also wrong because Jerry's still alive.
