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.

Answer: Possibly…but the ongoing relationship with Brian Austin Green (aka The B.A.G.) tends to make me think…..no.
But I saw that clip live and thought she was pretty awesome. And, HOTTT!
It’s a ONE STOP CARNIVAL UP IN HERE, B.A.G. 4 LIFE SON:

Megan Fox = HOTNESS. This clip OWNED.
She hung around Diablo Cody and picked up a thing or two about snark.
That’s pretty damn funny. The BAG statement is also pretty damn funny. It’s just damn funny. DAMN FUNNY.
I always found Jessica Alba to be an equally human and humorous interview subject (she actually played along with the hosts’ jokes and was able to joust in kind), but that’s just me.
Fox, from the few interviews I’ve read, certainly seems to be more level-headed and honest about her career than most. The fact that she has yet to be caught in some tabloid scandal (especially in this day an age) says a lot.
Could someone please enlighten me what was so SMART about that clip?
Yes, she sounded like a human being but are we that easily impressed nowdays?
(Judging by movies that win awards this year I am going to have to say yes.)
BAG is redeemed by being the sole saving grace of The Sarah Connor Chronicles. He’s become a much better actor, and he’s kept his looks. She could do a lot worse as older men go. It’s not like she’s fucking Jon Cryer.
“The fact that she has yet to be caught in some tabloid scandal (especially in this day an age) says a lot.”
I have to say, I’ve heard a lot of rumors lately.
Roman, perhaps no “smart” necessarily, but she appears to have a nicely quick and keen self-depreciating sense of humour. Kudos for mentioning her 22″ waist.
Let’s wait for her to get back to looking like a human being (which she used to) before we start to worry about her ‘aging well’.
Lex – you still suck.
I suck for linking to an amusing B.A.G. video and for opining that an attractive actress is “hot”?
Also, agree with Burma; Green’s had a nice TV comeback the last few years (didn’t he also get good notices for that Prinze sitcom?), and showed a nice sense of self-deprecation in “Domino.” And like Patrick Dempsey, he’s shed the early, stringy gawkiness. Besides, David Silver was awesome anyway, especially that ep where he hooked up with Kari Wuhrer in the limo and Donna got OWNED.
For everything that isn’t a link; also, I don’t find her attractive because she’s so incredibly synthetic (and I actually am the kind of person who will admit to liking fake boobs – just not fake everything else).
Jeff: you really do not pay attention in class. Her features are those of a Northern European. If you like to believe that those people look synthetic, then that’s on you. Her features and boobs are about as real as they get. Do not believe me? Go look at her GQ spread. Fakeys never hang that way, and never will.
Roman: what’s more real and intellectual? Meghan Fox responding honestly to those statements, or anything Kate Winslett did on the red carpet? Excuse me for taking the broad with the realistic and sensible approach to the red carpet over the rambling globes winner. She got two globes to match her boobs. Oh how I love that bit of business!
IOI, there are pictures online of what she looked like a few years ago, and let’s just say there are striking differences compared to how she looked in Transformers. And I preferred the older version that I saw.
Oh, and YOU’RE NOT BRITISH.
I’ve always liked Megan Fox, there’s something about her that I like… she seems confident, but not arrogant. She seems real, not at all fake… of course, this is from the perspective of a female.
Doesn’t anybody remember the ox-murdering compulsion that Megan Fox confessed to last summer?
Think of all the trite, insipid, and fatuous things you’ve heard from “it girl” starlets in the past, especially in response to the vapid inquiries of celebrity journalism.
She’s different.
“there are pictures online of what she looked like a few years ago, and let’s just say there are striking differences compared to how she looked in Transformers.”
She was a whopping 19 when she did Transformers. I would hope that she looks different in pictures from a few years prior, otherwise she wouldn’t be human. And why would one need to be British to recognize European features?
Relax, Jeff. Just because Lex is behaving himself doesn’t mean you need to actively look for things to argue with him over.
The ‘British’ thing has to do with IOI’s language affectations (‘bit of business’, ‘what are you on about’ etc.) nothing else.
This is the easiest question ever
“Is Megan Fox actually smart?”
No.
erm. of course she’s had plastic surgery.
