I'm not a huge theater or film buff but I've seen my fair share of great films and I'm certain the "unscripted" ones sound like an idiot rambling more than anything else. The ONLY exception I can think to this comes courtesy of R. Lee Ermey, and he WAS a drill sergeant for a long time before he got involved in Stanley Kubrick's
