I got such a laugh when he comes off as an even headed reasonable guy and every bit of advice he gives is good. Gordie's comics are incoherent schizo babble, and you need some kind of an actual internal plot and characterization to give it some meaning. In these kind of films, he's supposed to be an evil jealous guy, and rig the system to prevent the genius from winning as he deserves. Doesn't he know the kind of film he's in?
