In one remarkable shot, the camera takes an overhead God’s-eye view of the crucifixion site, underpinning the magnitude of the event by exhibiting the individuals’ relative irrelevance.

He likes to gamble so much that he placed a Super Bowl bet on how long Beyonce's rendition of the national anthem would take (thanks to some overhead planes and a really long brave, he made the over). His sharp take on contemporary manhood has created the No. 2--ranked sitcom for the past four years, according to Nielsen Media Research.
