Albert Brooks festival

Some clips from (or related to) one of the funniest men alive, Albert Brooks...
-Kevin Pollak imitating Albert Brooks as Bruce Wayne/Batman

-The classic trailer for Brooks' first film, "Real Life," from 1979. Sadly, this is funnier than the entire movie (except for the first five minutes, which have not been excerpted online yet).  The ending isn't bad either... in between, though, it is sadly depressing, not unlike "An American Family," which "Real Life" parodies.


-One of the two best scenes from Brooks' second film "Modern Romance" (1981): the salesman is Brooks' brother, Bob Einstein. The interlude in the car is cute, too.


-The other great scene from "Modern Romance," with Brooks' other brother, Cliff (the one who goes out to his car for a break).
