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” ā 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 ā 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 ā he directed a play that I was going to do as an actor, so we know each other, but he yelled “hi” ā and I’d forgot who he was.
So at my girlfriend Barbara Hershey’s urging ā I was with her at that moment ā 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 namedā” “Yeah, sure ā 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 Iām on the phone with you now, after all thatās 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 didnāt seek to use his position to have sex with anyone. Thereās not a case of that. He wasnāt using his position or status to try to solicit a sexual favor from anyone. If he had ā if that were what the accusation involved ā 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. Iām not just being rhetorical. Why is it that you and the other critics, none of you could find the voice to say, āYou know, itās not this, itās thatā? Because ā let me go on and speak further to this. If you go back to the L.A. TimesĀ piece, thatās what it lacked. Thatās 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.

Who are those two dudes?
Funny, Picture 1 is Jodie Foster from “The Brave One”. Picture 2 is either Zack Efron or Daniela Sea.
Look everybody; HEAT IS MAKING A FUNNY! HE’S MAKING A FUNNY!
I actually find the Foster pic kinda sexy in the Linda Hamilton T2, Sigourney Weaver Aliens, kinda way.
But that could just be me.
It’s just you.
Looks like Jodie is covering all the bases in her right to bear arms.
I can’t tell if one person is more effeminate or they’re both masculine…that’s confusing.
I think Jodie looks hot in the trailer, too. The plot sounds pretty been there/done that to me, but Neil Jordan/Jodie Foster sounds promising. I’ll have to check it out.

Foster may be gayer (allegedly) than Liberace at a white party, but she still is a good looking lady. Her lady (allegedly) should be proud.
Ugh, Zac is NOT hot! He’s so gay, he poops glitter.
waterbucket – don’t say that too loud. you may hear the sound of thousands of teenie-boppin’-high-school-musical-lovin’ girls’ hearts break.
do you really want that on you conscience?
wait, on second thought, nevermind. continue.
Does anyone find that Miami Heat nickname thing funny? It kind of amused me the first time but it’s not true enough to be conistently funny, it’s more childish than anything else.
conistently, haha serves me right for posting at 6am.
“Does anyone find that Miami Heat nickname thing funny?”
Not really. It’s becoming embarassing. Aside from beating a tepid joke into the ground somewhere near Chinese topsoil, it’s the kind of name-calling by way of nicknaming that always causes people in a room to turn to each other after the nicknamer’s gone and ask, “What the fuck is that dude’s problem?”.
The question is that why would teeny bopper girls especially like girly boys who wear makeup? Anyway, nobody farted so Zac boy needs to bring his nose down.
I don’t get much of a gay vibe (whatever that is) off of him when I see him in interviews. He’s just the pretty, non-threatening sort of guy that young girls like.
I still don’t understand the “Miami Heat” thing and everytime someone mentions “Miami Heat said…” I can never figure it out because NOBODY IS CALLED MIAMI HEAT! In a place where people use nicknames why call people a SECOND nickname. That’s just ridiculous (plus I feel out of the loop and that makes me sad because it’s JUST LIKE HIGH SCHOOL!)
Wait. No it’s not. I knew everything in high school.
Also, girls like Zac Efron because – here’s a shocker – teenage girls prefer guys closer to their age. Wow. Amazing. Whod’ve thunk it.
Nicol D: Nahhh, it’s just not just you. Very astute observation š and yes, she is H-O-T. And for you folks that feel most comfortable cocooned in rigid gender classifications, maybe androgynous is a more accurate label.
