I saw it in a theater in Budapest, and it wasn’t so bad?

Heh. Not any more I don’t. Gonna get me a new (and hopefully more respectable) gig. FH can carry on dumbing down the culture without me.
That said, the house we’re moving into next week does have 40% more square footage.
So I got that going for me.
Which is nice.
Oh yeah, almost forgot:
Isn’t that nice?

Did it help that you were in Budapest?
Have I mentioned that as of now, Encino Man is only the fourth-crappiest show on my resume?

Oh, hey, does anyone here want to watch the wife’s tv pilot about magicians who con Wall Streeters? She recently finished it and has it out to various things but has said I can share it via PM, isn’t that nice?

Wait, there was an Encino Man show?
Wasn’t it a Hollywood Pictures feature from 1992 starring Pauly Shore, Sean Astin, and Brendan Fraser?
Was it not my second Hollywood gig?
Do I not still own the crew jacket?

You call movies shows? What do you call shows?
Hollywood is weird. And, for the record, I enjoyed weezing the juice.
Was Encino Man ever meant to be more than silly summer popcorn fare? Didn’t I see it at the dollar theatre because it was what was playing at the dollar theatre that weekend?

Eh, what should I use as a catch-all term for features and TV series and miniseries and TV movies-of-the-week? The jobs themselves can be easily classified as gigs, but since the worst… uh… content that I’ve ever worked on consists of two TV series, a two-part miniseries, and a feature, can’t I just call them all “shows”?

It just seems confusing, don’t you find it confusing?
What are the other terrible three things?
Like… a moving-picture show?

Is Brendan Fraser just as dreamy professional in person as he is on the screen?

Ugh, thanks grandpa, here’s a nickel for the kaleidescope while you’re at it, okay?

Was your movie a talkie?

Wasn’t he, though? Surely much can change in 25 years, but at the time, wasn’t he a perfect gentleman?
And weren’t the other two… well, less wonderful?

Doesn’t Sean Astin just come across as a bit of a dick in everything he does? Don’t I imagine him not to be a very nice person in real life?
(or was it just me that thought he was a really crappy Samwise?)

A late-night double-feature, even?

Might it have been just you? Didn’t I think he was mostly okay in that role?
(But isn’t it kinda strange to see that he has 129 acting credits?)
Am I half-remembering that I worked on a failed TV pilot some 18 years or so ago in which he played some kind of… psychic or something? And aren’t I remembering some kind of hissy fit he threw on set when some stupid thing didn’t go his way? During the North Hollywood shootout of 1997, wasn’t it?
Hmm. Might that have been some other actor? No… I think it was him… right?
