He had a lawyer; it was Puffy's lawyer. Curry doesn't come off as particularly naive but business-wise he was clearly no match for Diddy.

He'll bury us all!

the sad thing is I've gotten a lot of emails like this. They're all, "Hey, here's a way to shoe-horn the inane sentiments of our clients into your big Michael Jackson story!"

yeah, it's good. It's definitely a lot more positive in its portrayal of steroids but the fact that the director's brother died of a (probably steroids-related) heart attack not long after it came out undermines its message a bit.

Mark Curry actually. The man has an army of ghostwriters. And g-g-g-ghosts!

"hiding the Afikoman" is one of a series of nonsensical euphemisms I've come up with for sex, including "The Hong Kong handshake" and "The October Surprise".

they're apparently good friends in real life. Oh, but what could they possibly have in common? Despite their commitment to their craft and all.

yeah, they've got chemistry. They're also in SURFER, DUDE so they have a long history of appearing in stupid shit together.

FEVER PITCH. ROBOTS. WHERE THE HEART IS. EDTV. FATHER'S DAY. MULTIPLICITY. FORGET PARIS. MULTIPLICITY. CITY SLICKERS ("find your smile!). GREEDY. MR. SATURDAY NIGHT, SPIES LIKE US (considering the premise and cast, this should have been a home run, not just sort of OK). I will concede SPLASH, NIGHT SHIFT and I haven't…

I noticed that too. I wonder if Opie suggested they "borrow" the Chicken Dance for Arrested Development or if that happened organically. I will admit: The Chicken Dance: kind of neat.

You know, I've discovered a lot of great music that I love through this project. That's a big part of what keeps me going.

me and Keith
both have cats with Mr. Show-derived names. His is Princess Superstar and mind is Sweetie Pie Jones. They're fucking adorable those two, especially Sweetie Pie.

yes. It used to be an old right of passage for writers that they all, at some point, saw Joe's penis, whether they wanted to or not. Keith was a proud exception until he opened the paper one day and there it was in all its glory.

yes. He ascertained the level of gayness necessary for each scene and adjusted accordingly.

Joe is known for his scathing likability.

this film will change your mind. Maybe.

he's great in this movie, as is Michael Rapaport.

Not to tell tales out of school but I have a very attractive friend who Legs McNeil approached as a potential collaborator. He apparently told her that he had sex with everyone he worked with. That was a deal breaker. Still gotta read "Please Kill Me" though.

What we need to remember
is that it's fundamentally all about rising above oppression.
