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.”
~ Hampton Fancher
“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.

Wow, our little Dave must be the youngest man there. And that’s saying A LOT.
Because as you know, Dave is old. And by old, I meant OLD. That means the ship is full of old people. Really OLD people.
I see old people. Sexy, hairless old people.
The guy sitting in front with a hat spouting Brokeback lines and ignoring the hot PR chick is Waterbucket (unbeknownst to Poland).
That PR person is not a chick. She’s a dude. Just like that time when you made out with that hot chick at the corner of 33rd and 5th. It was a dude. Sorry to break it to you like this but you made out with a dude. You dude-make-out-er.
I have a feeling that Liza with a Z will go over better than Nightwatch.. I guess they couldn’t get it to Buttnumbathon and settle for this.
I wish I was on vacation.
Sigh.
The guy that has been staring at and calling Dave’s room at all hours of the night is the Bucket. He can barely hear the whispers from the phone saying “I just can’t quit you….”
“Welcome to Jurassic Park.”
Unfortunatly all the dinosaurs are in the bus with you.
Please enjoy tonights film, SPEED 3 – CRUISE OF THE DEAD
Can’t top those. Hilarious.
Can’t blame Waterbucket. Poland does have a striking Adrian Zmed/Jack Scalia/Frankie Avalon look.

I’m rolling on the floor Boam! A+ with extra credit!
Now see if you can do the same for the 1-sheet of Munich with Bana sitting in front of Poland’s cabin window… waiting with a gun.
just cos you asked Crow
Jeffrey Boam, I don’t get the first one. What movie is that referenced to?
read my earlier post – it’s a clue!
Oh hehe, I get it now. Thanks doc.
okay last one til Dave posts more images.
This the over 65 film festival? Or the Leslie Nielson Look Alike convention?
Richard click on URL to see how great minds think alike.
Waterbucket – click on my name for your treat.
I knew it! Dave Poland is a bottom.
Jeffrey Boam’s Doctor, you’re my hero.
Haven’t had this much fun since FREDDIE GOT FINGERED.
Jeff Wells would need to be in that Brokeback poster with DP to make it plausible. Every time they try to quit each other, they just end up getting back together…
Dave is more Heath Ledger than Jake Gyllenhall. But he makes a good Eric Munich Bana.
Boam’s Doc,
Give some more. A Dave Capote one should be good. I prefer a Walk the Line Dave.
