First, may I say Chad's car comment cracked me the fuck up.
Second: Have you ever had a moment when you were sure that you'd inadvertently wandered onto a movie set?
Well, considering they were shooting a film a block from my house last week, and I worked on a studio lot for five years, I'd have to say yes.
But in the non-literal sense, yes again. L.A. will do that to you even when you're not tripping over an actual set every other minute. Having ninety percent actors for friends helps dispel this sensation not at all.
Are you in a movie now, and is it yours, someone else's, or both?
Yes, and it's mine. It's always been mine. You can't have it. MINE! I'm the star! Me! Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...
Uh. Ahem. Yeah, basically everything I do has an audience, invisible or otherwise. It helps make sure I say witty things as much as possible.
My movie wants to be a action-packed, wildly popular Oscar-winning epic with heart AND soul, but is probably in reality (hah) a bittersweet, deeply snarky indie drama about the futility of life which leaves the five or so people who actually see it enervated and vaguely depressed afterward.
