Presumptively, yes.

Did you mean "we"? Or did you break up with the OM?

Paigow is pointing out that in Hollywood, just working at a studio doesn't mean you're really in the industry, which is notoriously insular. You have to be someone's kid, which is flat out impossible if you come from somewhere kooky like Canada or Austria. Californians -- even expats in places like DC -- will never accept a foreigner as one of them, so give it up.

At least I think that's her gist. YMMV.

Exactly. You are a nobody in LA, sorry. And the sad thing is that probably is something that is very important to you. I gather this from your oft referencing of Variety and name dropping here. At least here, you can seem like you are in the business bc most of the folks here are even further away from it than you.

See you in turnaround.

If you cared, you could have asked, and then I would have told you, as I've told several folks here via pm, that I'm an in-house studio lawyer (I'm not particularly concerned about being outed, duh). It's obvious that I didn't grow up in LA. I've referred to my school many times. So how does any of this make me a wannabe? I don't pretend to do any scene any more or less than I actually do. 19 nights out of 20 I'm home unpacking or paiting kitchen cabinets and watching crap TV. Otherwise I'm at a concert with my friends and/or my stunning wife. And in what respect does my (completely unconnected) dad have anything to do with anything? Random!

That said, I've no wish to ignore you. But unprovoked ad hominem attacks have no place here on Thursdays. So again, please fuck off and die. My 18 year old cat has melanoma and I'm in no mood.

I gotta love the Paigow, but no offence to her, I view you as a player. In fact a whiter more Canadian version of Jay-Z, a card carrying playa of the first order.

There it is.

Don't you wish.

Hi! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was thinking a Canadian Tim Robbins, taking the Land Rover home to an Icelandic wife.

I disagree. Generally. I'm not going to look at that article, the Atlantic strikes me as a liberal rag, however experience tells me the sex gets kinkier as time passes.

And that's just the sex with the wife.

We as in me and PLF, dear. You have to stop thinking "we" means you and another. What is it with you and that word?

I dont actually think str8 is a bad guy or antying. He just reminds me a lot of a great many really annoying people based on his posts. If he cut out the nonsense with the namedropping and the references to the industry in most of his posts and just let his personality shine through and was himself, then he might not seem like such a wannabe. And dont get me started on the cheap ploys to seem hip despite his suitness based on trips to Hot Topix. Thats the thing with LA and the transplants. I am sure he is just a nice Jewish boy from Toronto with a good brain and a shared love of AI. It is just this "I am in the industry" pedanticism that really irks me. Especially when he really isnt.

So sorry if I made you feel bad str8, but that is why I take shots at you. I am sure you are probably a good guy deep down.

Notwithstanding our difference of opinion on str8, that was an excellent use of a canned line.

Cliche of the Day, and I mean in that in a complimentary sense.

I enjoy the name dropping and glimpse giving. It gives me a chance to appear in the know among people who do not read these boards. Of course, it's always prefaced with "My sources tell me" or "Insiders say that". Don't worry, str8, I would never tell them your name.

Maybe he really had a ketchup fetish, but knew how you felt about it, so he told you he likes to do it to dead bloody corpses so that you wouldn't think he was a freak or anything.

Actually, I was having more difficulty figuring out what sort of blood fetish would be satisfied by ketchup than I was with the idea of the blood fetish itself. The blood thing I sort of get - seeing ketchup as a substitute struck me as the weird part.

I've never been asked to do anything I've found a deal killer. Unless you count bad kissing. Bad kissing is a deal killer, and I've been asked to do that repeatedly. But I've never been asked to do anything particularly odd.
