I know Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriquez.
They don't know me, but I've seen all their movies.

My wifes brothers fiance does this frequently (They live in Manhattan Beach and she is an Excecutive with the California Board of Education whereas they do events with celebrities and other fund raisers...)..
I hear it every Christmas "So me and so and so are sitting there..."
I'm like "Look *****. I'm J.R. Hudson. The filmmaker. I know Jarred Land. I now P.K. Gillock. I know TC and Overland. You wanna drop some names? Two words. Barry freakin Green."

LMAO! Holy **** that was funny! "Two words. Barry freakin Green"
Classic!
Well....I get to hang out with my rock star buddies like Jacoby Shaddix (Papa Roach), Nick Brooks (It Dies Today), etc......but no one would care or would want to hear about it.
Now if was eating dinner at QT's house or going shopping with Lindsey Lohan or having sexual relations with Paris Hilton.....well....that's a little different!!

John - LOL My original post was going to be, "I know John Hudson and Jarred Land. That's all the naming dropping anyone needs." But decided to post the QT and RR comment. I'm Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!

Here's a funny one from a friend of mine who used to work for the Schubert Theater organization in Chicago. There were producing some play with Elizabeth Taylor and this was when she was well...more than a bit overweight. The rider on her contract specified all sorts of ridiculous requests. Among them, she has to have her dressing room painted purple and she required a fish tank with tropical fish. The rider specifically said "no freshwater fish" in the tank. She was staying at the Hyatt downtown during the run and one night around midnight she called room service and ordered TWO roast chickens. The chef had already gone home, but he had to come back and roast those two effin chickens--which were delivered to Taylor--alone in her room. Bon appetit!
I used to be a film festival coordinator and had a chance to deal with a lot of actors and actresses--many of whom were just snotty, spoiled and rude. The absolute worst thing are entourages--generally these people are vile parasitic human garbage. The absolute coolest film people I met were Joel and Ethan Coen, Lina Wertmueller, and John Waters.

Excuse me, you dropped something........ :beer:
Well where do I start .... ha just kidding. I do know David Huddleston's brother well, but never got to meet David. Friend of the family trained Sissy Spacek's horse and if any of you are old (pre)NASCAR fans Curtis Turner was my Uncles best friend. I also got to meet Triple H, he is purchasing a motor coach from the company I worked for last year, TV makes'um look a lot bigger.
Tried to meet Bill Murray back when he came to Roanoke during the filming of "What about Bob" but I was late getting there - story of my life.

I once had an actress who apparently went to the best industry parties, was friends with a slough of L.A. based producers and hung out with A list celebrities whenever they were in town... which had me always saying to myself, if this is even remotely true, why the hell are you acting in my films???
Relick from The Beachcombers once bought a dog from my family.
The guy from the Panago Pizza commercials in Van is a friend and has been in several of my flicks.
That's my list...
well...
I've sure made it far in the film industry.

Runner Up.
I know one of the girls on the Disney show "That's So Raven". I also saw Ethan Hawke at the Sin City premiere, along with RR, FM, Jamie King, and Nick Stahl. I was at the bar and got a beer, turned around and Ethan Hawke was right there, pretty cool. I just remember that he was short, like 5'8"-5'9".

This isn't who I know or have met, but a great annoying name-dropping story. I teach acting to children at a summer theatre conservatory every summer, and one of my students is Bob Saget's neice. Whenever we have discussions about acting (well, about as much of a discussion as you can have with 8 to 14 year olds) they always bring up how much they love Full House and about how Bob Saget on Full House is a great actor because <insert ridiculousness here>.
One of these days I'm just gonna turn around and say--"Yeah, and I really liked in Half-Baked when he said 'Have you ever sucked c*ck for pot?'" Wow..that'll be the day.
