...Kilmer talks in ellipses. He eventually circles back somewhere near his point, but he leaves out all the connective tissue, so you're just sitting there as he looks directly ahead, talking about Tom Hanks and being related to poet Joyce Kilmer and the importance of branding, and you can't help wondering, "Is he really just drinking green tea with honey...
