Favorite Movie Characters: Mr. Rumsfield
John’s I Am Your War Machine post reminded me of one of my favorite movie characters of all time: Mr. Rumsfield from The Burbs. As soon as that song popped into my head, I started remembering all the scenes from that movie and couldn’t stop laughing. So, as is our way here at Robot Panic, I had to share.
Bruce Dern is comic gold in this film and turns in one of the most consistently funny performances I’ve seen. It’s a shame this guy is as under rated as he is. This set of greatest Mark Rumsfield moments goes down as one of my favorite YouTube clips of all time.
There go the Goddamn brownies.

I fucking LOVE that movie!
Another incredible Bruce Dern movie is Diggstown. You get Bruce Dern, Oliver Platt, Louis Goesset Jr., and James Fucking Woods, all in the same movie. If you haven’t seen it, definitely find Diggstown on DVD.
