Or, and hear me out, people loved the character so much they copied his behaviour.

IIRC he was a talk show host, and I’ve always thought he was so flamboyant as a parody of how talk show hosts prioritize the show rather than the talk.

I think he is a brilliantly designed parody character, but some people have taken him too seriously.

This movie impregnated me the first time I saw it. I gave birth to a multipass 5 days later.

^^^^^ This, so much this.

I cannot ever re-watch this goddamn movie for that performance. I hated it back then, and hate it even more now knowing it came true.

… also F-U to Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, perhaps Luc Besson just exists to piss me off. What a shitty movie with horrible casting and overall stupidity.

Edit: … and yet, here I am. Sigh.
