Mark and Ted's Excellent Adventure in Drama

Morning dawns at Chateau D. once more and bodies lie in repose throughout its chambers. I see two males who are snoring on the same futon where they must have come to rest last night and I am reminded of this classic dialog:

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
Neal: Del... Why did you kiss my ear?
Del : Why are you holding my hand?
Neal : Where is your other hand?
Del : Between two pillows...
Neal : Those aren't pillows!!!![/FONT]
 
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]And I can imagine Kevin saying to me:

You know when you're telling these little stories? Here's a good idea: have a point. It makes it so much more interesting for the listener![/FONT]
 
That movie has some of the best lines!

Morning Mark! I see you survived another night among the mole people. Careful man, you're not as young as you think you are! :grin:

<-----------
Hey Look at that! I'm not TJA right now! I feel like Harry Porter with his cloak of invisibility!

There's someone out there for everyone - even if you need a pickaxe, a compass, and night goggles to find them

(Steve) Harris: Well, I was thinking of taking you on a cultural tour of L.A.
Sara: That's the first ten minutes, then what?

Hey Kevin, I put up some credits on the first page of this thread. If you have a chance, go check them out and tell me if I missed something.

Hey Ted,

I think you covered most of them, but there are so many that we should also thank for their hard work (Maniac Mike, Hollywood Fire Department, hair and makeup, etc). Blaine is likely to have the most complete information as to those that should be in the credits.
 
Hey Mark,

Bowfinger is a film that I think is only truly appreciated by those with an association to the film industry. In that context it is an absolute classic, deserving the highest praise. There are so many truths in it that I can't even begin to list them. I have had a number of "moments" occur that reminded me so much of things in Bowfinger.
 
Morning Tedster!

Thanks Kevin, I actually got your man Paul and the Hair & Make-up on there now. Thanks.

Yeah, that is a great idea to include Hollywood Fire Department and the likes.

Maniac Mike will be up soon!

And I suspect some of them were on the set of TTN ... I was thinking of Bowfinger when Tim and I were in the cemetery pretending to be mourners in order to snag a shot (which unfortunately did not make the final cut ...)
 
Mark, what is with the new look? That place change you or what??? First it was beige-colored text and now it's typewriter fonts?

As for Mr. Twain, that is a pretty heavy quote. I think I'll pass!

As for Mr. Martin, I have to put Bowfinger on my queue. I haven't seen that one yet. I love The Spanish Prisoner!!! Totally blew me away!
 
Bowfinger events occur on nearly every production that I am on. That film is so accurate that it can easily substitute for at least a semester of film school!
 
The doorbell just rang here and I found myself remembering one of my favorite quotes:

What Fresh Hell is This? (Dorothy Parker)
 
Blaino!!!! When you get up and get online, post a list of people we'd like to thank!

I'll add them to the front page!
 
It was classic last night as we had another screening of TTN for various mole people who had not seen it. The bunch was rather rowdy and carrying high B.A.T. indexes. Tim kept screaming at them, "Quiet! you f*ckers! Dammit! Quiet! Watch the f*cking movie." At the end they were satisfied but the comments and queries were not exactly film festival caliber. I.e,: "now, how many of those people were digital?" ... and "Dude, that could only get better with more naked chicks."
 
How to tell the difference between an amateur writer and a professional writer.

An amateur sends you material, then calls every hour asking "Did you read it yet? Did you read it yet?"

Whereas, a true professional calls every hour asking, "Have you read it yet? Have you read it yet?"​

I love that one Bowfinger quote, something like: "at bottom, every movie costs $2084.00" :)
 
Okay, I've updated the credits. Please make a list of who else we need there. I KNOW that there are many people to thank....

Off for awhile!

-Ted
