Don't you think?

I don't mean the murderous side but I'm sure we'd all like to prank or get even with someone like he did, just not to that extreme...

"We all have a little Eric Binford in all of us?"

You mean that without those movie quotes or those facts about movies (that Binford makes) we are all like Eric Binford? A hollow, chain-smoking, ill-tempered person who is completely devoid of charisma, humor, personality, or social interaction? It's not hard to see the reason why no one likes Eric Binford... and neither will the viewers who watch this movie. He has no sympathy and neither does any of the people he kills.

Hey, I used to associate with many film/memorabilia collectors from all across the country in the past thirty years and I saw a lot of them in Eric Binford! There were a lot of guys just like him, except for the murderous side--for all I know, that is!

I feel as if some people didn't understand what I meant - I didn't mean the obsessive/murderous side of Binford. I meant the obsessive side in his fascination with Monroe and movies in general. I've met many a character (especially in LA) that act like he did. Attend a movie premiere from across the street at the Chinese theatre - you'll see what I mean.
