That's probably my greatest regret from the long list of films I didn't get a chance to ask him about. Yes, even more so than Tootsie.

Keep in mind that the interview was conducted during the TCA tour, back in early August. I suppose Berberian Sound Studio was out overseas by that point, but the buzz wasn't such that I'd heard anything about it yet.

Y'know, I absolutely buy into a character named Gunnar. If we presume that he's in his early twenties, consider that "(I Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection" by Nelson was #1 in 1990…I mean, once you accept that there's no accounting for people's tastes in music, I find it very easy to believe that there was a…

I believe that in some cases, but not Walsh's. We actually hashed out the attack plan in advance together to really try and get him to do it. He just happens to be as crotchety in real life as he is onscreen, and he doesn't enjoy doing interviews, period.

The dream scenario: a back-and-forth where I ask Bill Murray about his Random Roles and he goes through my back catalog and asks me about the Random Roles interviews I've done. Then it runs on the site, gets Tweeted and reTweeted by a googol's worth of people, and I retire from pop culture journalism, victorious.

I almost never do the research until the interview is confirmed. The only exception to that rule that I can think of was when I tried and failed to get M. Emmet Walsh to do Random Roles, and that was only because his publicist said that she knew he'd say no if he didn't have some idea what he'd be asked about, but he…

I'd love to do one w/ Tom Selleck. I got just about 10 minutes with him a few years ago - http://www.bullz-eye.com/te… - and the first line says everything you need to know about how I felt about the experience: "Tom Selleck is just as awesome in person as you’d want him to be after watching him on television for the…

Was he supposed to have been in that? If so, I wasn't aware.

Y'know, honestly, it was really just a case where there was an inflexible time limit, and my greatest concern was getting to tackle as many roles as possible, so I cannot in good conscience accept any restraint-related applause. I will say, though, that I didn't necessarily feel that vibe I sometimes get with an…

Yeah, as soon as I read about Weaving's disinterest in continuing as the Red Skull, I thought, "Okay, so Jones is the anti-Weaving, then, apparently," because he was positively giddy at the possibility of returning for another film.
