It shows how out of it I was in trying to be in it, acknowledging that I was out of it to myself, and then thinking, “Okay, how do I stop being out of it? Well, I get some legitimate illogical narrative ideas” — some novel, you know?
So I decided on three writers that I might be able to option their material and get some producer, or myself as producer, and then get some writer to do a screenplay on it, and maybe make a movie.
And so the three projects were “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep,” “Naked Lunch” and a collection of Bukowski. Which, in 1975, forget it — I mean, that was nuts. Hollywood would not touch any of that, but I was looking for something commercial, and I thought that all of these things were coming.
There would be no Blade Runner if there was no Ray Bradbury. I couldn’t find Philip K. Dick. His agent didn’t even know where he was. And so I gave up.
I was walking down the street and I ran into Bradbury — he directed a play that I was going to do as an actor, so we know each other, but he yelled “hi” — and I’d forgot who he was.
So at my girlfriend Barbara Hershey’s urging — I was with her at that moment — she said, “Talk to him! That guy really wants to talk to you,” and I said “No, fuck him,” and keep walking.
But then I did, and then I realized who it was, and I thought, “Wait, he’s in that realm, maybe he knows Philip K. Dick.” I said, “You know a guy named—” “Yeah, sure — you want his phone number?”
My friend paid my rent for a year while I wrote, because it turned out we couldn’t get a writer. My friends kept on me about, well, if you can’t get a writer, then you write.”

“That was the most disappointing thing to me in how this thing was played. Is that I’m on the phone with you now, after all that’s been said, and the fundamental distinction between what James is dealing with in these other cases is not actually brought to the fore. The fundamental difference is that James Franco didn’t seek to use his position to have sex with anyone. There’s not a case of that. He wasn’t using his position or status to try to solicit a sexual favor from anyone. If he had — if that were what the accusation involved — the show would not have gone on. We would have folded up shop and we would have not completed the show. Because then it would have been the same as Harvey Weinstein, or Les Moonves, or any of these cases that are fundamental to this new paradigm. Did you not notice that? Why did you not notice that? Is that not something notable to say, journalistically? Because nobody could find the voice to say it. I’m not just being rhetorical. Why is it that you and the other critics, none of you could find the voice to say, “You know, it’s not this, it’s that”? Because — let me go on and speak further to this. If you go back to the L.A. Times piece, that’s what it lacked. That’s what they were not able to deliver. The one example in the five that involved an issue of a sexual act was between James and a woman he was dating, who he was not working with. There was no professional dynamic in any capacity.

The MPAA needs to make up their goddamn minds. And what’s the story behind Team America? Are Parker and Stone cutting scenes yet or are they appealing for an R?
Honestly….that’s exactly what I thought after the screening. poor….poor….peter. But it wasn’t just that as well, this movie was about “not just the act of sex” and I was confused how this could be R and nothing higher (based on some of the movies you mentioned in your post that did receive more “adult ratings”).
The bloody MPAA just cant love the penis. Why must
they FEAR the penis? Shocking. Just as shocking
as rich white people’s reactions to the debate.
Who knew they had such a HARD-ON for old white
males in authority. Leaving me to wonder if the
MPAA would appreciate older penises over young ones?
Who knows? Whatever the case, Peter might be a
grower not a shower. For his sake; let us hope so.
They must either love his cock or think hes hungout like a 12 yr old. (or Steel)
Bob, did someone forgot they participated in the
Howard Stern “SMALL PENIS CONTEST?” Apparently
they did, but that’s okay Bob.
You just got to love a debate where all the pundents
think that Cheney won, but his own lies have overshadowed
the debate. HA HA HA HA HA!
I love this country! Liar Liar Pants On Fire, Look
Around, and Flail Even Harder…
anyone that defends himself that much obviously has teeny penis issues
its ok, steel. be yourself
ask peter sarsgard
Do you think I would be this brazen if I suffered
from your predicament Bob? I dont think so.
But good come back nonetheless.
its ok, steel. u will get over ur short comings. i stress short
Bob I never knew how guys with small pricks acted but thanks to your responses I now know that you guys are a bunch of mean angry republican bastards!
ZING!
they act like u. defensive and biting and a bit sad. sorry fella
Bob, unlike the previous response, that comeback
rather lacking in most departments.
As Satine once said before she died of TB; “It
all works out in the end.”
You figure that one out chuckles.
You do seem really obsessed with Bike Man. Maybe its the small penis infatuation.
Mark, just to let you know; It’s impossible to follow
a man having a conversation with himself. Not to
mention a man having very little reading comprehension.
Come man; it’s clear whose who in this debate.
Egads man. Egads.
he is obsessed with his small weenie. its not made of “steel”
I think we have ran this one into the ground.
Shall we carry on?
I guess any guy that goes on and on over his small penis comment and names himself “Steel” will neve rget over it.
Mark, glad to know that conversation with yourself
continues to go on.
I feel the same way. Do you ever post anything worthwhile besides defending your small penis?
Mark, again, what are you talking about? Do you
ever post anything worthwhile? Where do these
whacky statements of yours come from?
mark no worries. hes a complete jackass with about as much views and depth as a dana carvey movie
Bob, I do believe the same can be said for you
as well as Mark. Except, Dana Carvey in Opportunity
Knocks does not quite suck. But you Bob, you and Mark
are the equivalent of a Jim Belushi movie.
Oh, you thought you could win. How quaint.
Bobby, let it go. We all know Steel is trying to make up for the fact that he has small junk. Its obvious to us all. The more he defends himself the sadder it is.
You two are easily the biggest bunch of dumbass
I have come across on the internet outside of
Chris Ryall. The sheer lack of grasping a damn
point, really makes me wonder where on earth you
two received a bloody education?
Were you raised by wolves? Poor reading comprehension
having wolves?
Whatever the point; this must stop, because Poland
really does not need this triffling shit all over
this blog.
So let’s all agree to disagree, and move the bloody
hell on. Oy to the vey, indeed.
so why u still complaining about ur small dick?
u got a complex
ur the kid who got picked on every lunch time weren’t u?
Bob, you were the dumbass who all the teachers
hoovered to due to his lack of any clear and consistant
spelling. Listen, if you cant take the time to
spell at ‘YOU’, then you really are one special
kind of lazy bastard.
You are also very dumb. War on Terror? Ha.
I thought we were busy with all those other
WAR ONs that went no where and did nothing.
To think; Mark insults my posting when his best
buddy has the spelling ability of a very SPECIAl
Republican.
You two, easily, need to try harder, or just shut
up, and move on. If not I will keep on slapping
you both down as if my name were Sam Madison.
Again he cannot get over his small pee wee dong. Maybe thats why you named yourself “Steel”. Did some guy make a comment to you and you have been unsure of yourself ever since? Seems like you have some issues. Talk to us.
If only I had a small penis, then maybe I would
be a scared white male Republican! HOO AH!
Or…
If I did have a small penis. It would be harder
to hide these TWO HUGE BALLS! ZING!!!!!!!!
Finally…
Mark and Bob: Proud owners of two manginas!
BALLS ON YOUR HEADS BITCHES!
steely boy still can’t get ove rhis small piece of junk. its really unfortunate to be so lame. but what else does anyone expect from a liberal?
Bob, the wolves who raised apparently made it impossibly difficult for you to understand the most basic of rudimentary reading comprehension. You dumb republican hick. Again, you must realize you are the one with the very tiny prick. Poor stupid lad. You are truly a Republican, because you are too stupid to grasp anything. I mean, anything. Now, you go ahead you big ruttin pile of stupid, and try to remember how to breate. Maybe use a straw if you using your mouth or nose seems to difficult, because you really do know how to suck.
Bob, you make this way to easy.
still harping on ur small penis?
jeez
u would think u would have got over this SMALL issue years ago
i feel for you, scottie pippen
Your lack of grasping what I mean by the Pippen/Ewing
analogy just goes to show how out of it you are.
Steel has to be ten years old. Only that age group still harps on miniscule genitilia.
MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP! AURGGGGGGGGHHHH!
that what ur boyfriend says when u pleasure him?
Bob, that’s just lame.
It’s over. It’s all over.
Its been over for three weeks Baby Steel. You’re just obsessed with it. Time to move on or take elongate.
How on earth can something be over when you are
still talking smack? No smack, then it’s over.
If not, then it’s not over. So let’s all be friends
, agree to disagree, and move the hell on.
Baby Steel, what does that even mean? Like the kids
are going to get a Baby Huey reference in the 21st
century you silly man.
Talk to me people.

This has to be the dumbest thread I’ve ever scanned through, and I’ve seen some dumb ones folks!!!!!
By the way, YOUNG ADAM got an NC-17 for the scene where McGregor goes down on Tilda Swinton, not for the dick shot. The dick shot in HOME AT THE END also made it into the R version. That shot was cut for reasons having nothing to do with ratings. DIRTY SHAME was NC-17 for “Pervasive Vulgarity” or something like that, not for any single image of frontal nudity. Same goes for TEAM AMERICA. By the way, you’ll remember that BAD EDUCATION is NC-17 and there’s no frontal nudity in that at all.
This whole post started because David Poland wanted to make a cheap joke about Peter Sarsgaard’s-less-than-enormious penis. Well, you start with a sophomoric posting and you got the thread you deserved.
