for Richard T. Hadgery in The (Inedible) Chunk
Suggested by sam_from_pagetv

Dr. Barry Duce is a brilliant scientist who, after a lab accident, is cursed with an unimaginable burden: every time he gets hungry, Barry becomes a massive beast they call "The Chunk." The movie follows Barry and his friends as they attempt to get famous. In a plotline happening simultaneously with Barry's, former U.S. Military General Gregory "Thunderballs" Russ forgets his entire life and goes on a beautiful journey of self-discovery with his daughter and two newfound religious friends. The movie starts out as a spoof of the Hulk, closely following the plot of the original comic book while directly spoofing it. However, the movie quickly goes off the wall and becomes an absurd, surreal, insane satire of Hollywood. It's not supposed to make sense.
