What: I'm terribly fond of the 1999 film Mumford (Rec. #92). One of the many, many excellent members of its cast is Ted Danson, giving us an early smug-sleaze preview almost twenty years before his rightfully acclaimed work on The Good Place.
His Jeremy Brockett is a venture capital douchelord who is very, very smug about conflating wealth and enlightenment. In just one scene, Danson effectively captures soul-rot wrapped in cashmere.
Representative quote: "Like the Zens say ... be here now."
