Exclusive Solitary Man Clip: Michael Douglas vs. Ultimate Frisbee

Movieline is happy to premiere a clip from the new Michael Douglas-starring dramedy Solitary Man, and we're even happier that it involves an annoying Ultimate Frisbee player (redundant?) who finally gets what's coming to him. Directors Brian Koppleman and David Levien (the writers behind Ocean's Thirteen and The Girlfriend Experience) paint a portrait of Douglas as a man who can't stop making the wrong decisions -- and one of those decisions may involve the chemistry he's got with his girlfriend's young daughter Allyson, played here by Imogen Poots -- but when it comes to beating up some frisbee-throwing irritant, who's to say what's wrong anymore? Sure, it may jeopardize Allyson's college visit, but it feels so right.

    Movieline, I love ya, but as an ultimate player it makes me shed a solitary tear to be conflated with a frisbee golf douchebag such as this one.

    This pales in comparison to the "Get off my golf course" scene from Falling Down. Actually, this pales in comparison to every scene in Falling Down.
