Everyone needs to calm down. Damn.

I would love a mini Dratch. Like a Great Gazoo figure that floated around Elfman's head.

Oh, I was safely esconced in Canada then. That's why I missed it.

There was a Hunter reboot!?

A lot of times if a woman is really attractive, other women (including her own mother) can be weirdly competitive with her. And they tend to get approached by grandiose assholes when it comes to dating, etc.

Buzz is a good egg.

He looks terrible. Holy shit.

She IS a writer, one of the first questions is about the screenplay she wrote…

Road House is the greatest story ever told.

Jerry Orbach was trying to be a protective dad. Even if she had been 18, he still would have wanted that working-class greaser type to stay away from his daughter.

Make up some weird brands of your own. The readers will get it! Like Llama cigarettes from The Shadow.

But they only go on talk shows when they have something to promote anyway?

Well, for shows like Ellen or Conan or something, it's all people who wanted tickets. If you're clicking through the channels and think, "Wait - HE has a show!?" that audience is probably 70% out of work actors.

For the less popular game shows and talk shows, they pay people to sit and smile and clap. Also pilots of talk shows and game shows.

As someone who has done audience work, the Bill O'Reilly thing is not surprising or shocking anymore. *sigh*

Don't overthink it…he is keeping the door open so he can get some voiceover gig money out of them. A job is a job.

Wasn't that based on a Crichton book, though? I think the film was his first. It did resonate with some people. Didn't it inspire a Simpsons episode or something?

Uh, have you seen popular culture lately?

"As Sonora repeatedly falls down while trying to mount her horse, Lightning, he should be irritated. Instead, he’s mildly concerned, seemingly incapable of tapping into the acting skills that would let either his face or words convey any sort of emotion."

You'd be surprised. There are tons of angry, not very bright guys doing audience work who loved that show. They take improv classes and I think they seriously aspire to be professional comedians. But they are hampered by the fact that they don't think, have terrible speaking voices, and tend to look like Quasimodo.
