This vid really is about Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, which RK beat out for Best Picture, but which I and many critics think was actually the best film made in the first decade of this century. He only makes a few references to RK, but where he does it's to point out, by the contrast, how a grownup makes a serious movie.
