Danny Devito took care of Mara Wilson when her mom died while filming Matilda. He babysat her when her parents had to go to the hospital and was there for her after she passed. On all accounts, Danny Devito is the person you want in your life
Friendly reminder that he also saved a suicidal teen’s life

Saint Sebastian
She kept her hand in her pocket, wrapped tight around the small canister of pepper spray as the new tenants cheerfully invited her in. The door was open just a crack when she got there, and the sight of three black clothed figures shuffling through the maze of cardboard boxes had her on edge.
They were nice though. They were nice when she’d agreed to rent the place to them so she could help her mom after the surgery, and if anything they were nicer now as they ushered her in and offered her an ice cold saucer of Dr. Pepper.
She declined.
When she asked about the box she left behind they nodded eagerly and led her into the kitchen to show her the alter on the windowsill. Her favorite handkerchief and ceramic bowl sat surrounded by offerings. Fresh catnip, salmon, feathers, kibble, balls of foil, those weird circle things that you peel off of water jug caps, all the things that Sebastian used to like. Which was fitting, because in the bowl sat Sebastian.
He was looking very good considering he had died six months ago.
This fight always reminds me that Jackie Chan is truly a modern day Chaplin/Keaton. When recognizing physical comedians, Jackie has to be considered a modern king. This concept is so simple. STICKY FLOOR. That’s about it. And yet he makes absolute magic out of it. He gives us a solid fight sequence, genuine humor and some cheeky, sexy stuff. Everything you want, really. This fight might not be the most ferocious action sequence he’s done but, as far as comedic ideas go, this one is up there I think. It’s great.
The fight is from The Myth which I’m not going to post a link to because it’s not very good. It has three great action sequences in it (including this one). Track it down at your own peril.

people underestimate Jackie Chan as a physical comedian
