Hello, friends. As we put the finishing touches on our next exciting adventure for you,
we thought it was the perfect time to replay our second season of the podcast where we watch Sex and the City 2 every week for a year, hot off the back of the tragic news that and just like that will not be returning.
Please enjoy.
It's the worst idea of all time
It's the worst idea of all time
It's the worst idea of all time
Season two
Hello ladies and gentlemen
Welcome to the worst idea of all time
Episode 19
We've just watched Sex in the City 2
For the 19th time
That is 100% accurate Tim
My name is Tim Bat
My name is Guy Montgomery
I am so
relieved it's over
you were so angry this watch guy
worried about what lies in front of us
if you've just um for the first time
stumbled across this little
pedcoast of ours
um this is a podcast where for one reason
or another myself and guy watched the same movie
every week for a year and we've already done it once
we did it with grown-ups too an adam seaman movie
um which was like reasonably painful
but we thought we knew pain
you said 15 minutes into this movie you said god on
I'd love to get my dick wet in a bit of grown-ups, too.
That wasn't for sharing on the mic, but you're absolutely correct.
I'll own that.
I did say that.
I was in a desperate place.
I want to get back there.
That is hilarious and insane, but I completely agree.
That's the big question I'm asking right now is why.
Why what?
We've just bitten off too much.
We've bitten off far too much.
Way more than we could ever possibly hope to chew.
For how funny we thought it would be when we told everyone we were going to
to watch sex and city too that is and like most of the reason that decision was made was because
of how hilariously long it is yeah and bad as well you can have a good long movie yeah just
look at interstellar i've mentioned it before i'll mention it again long movie great movie to look at it
as you know as a funny idea because it's really long and that will be hard is fine in theory
but in practice it is just unspeakably arduous we were kind of like um you
we considered the fact that
the reason why everyone cracked up
and thought it was so funny and outrageous
when that sex in the city two poster came up
we were like, oh great, people are into the idea
and now we're like, oh, now we know why
this was an insane manoeuvre on our behalf.
This was a crazy thing to choose for ourselves.
But the misery I feel in this movie on
is I can't necessarily remember
how it felt during grownups too,
but this feels deeper.
It's a more profound sadness.
Yes, you're right.
It's like a, um, it's dragged out and it's like just dread.
It's just, I can't watch this movie without the specter of 33 more viewings hanging over it.
You screamed in my house at a very, well, you know, an early part of the day.
You just, you screamed.
I let out a primal, a couple times.
A primal scream of frustration.
Freaked out the cats is what you did.
Yeah.
Well, the cats will freak me out.
That's why I screamed the second time.
man alive
the first time was the movie but it's just
yeah it's hard
I think it's harder to get
I think it's harder to get anything good out of this
there's just
not enough meat on those bones
yeah
which is weird after two and a half hours of movie
it's like this this movie could
easily have not existed
but it also easily could have existed
in being
an hour 25 I reckon
you could get pretty much everything in there
in an hour 25
what have you got to get in
there you got to get in you got to get in yeah okay unhappy you got to get in main bits of the
movie we've got a gay wedding to start so we spend three minutes there probably if we trim
the fat three and a half minutes i reckon oh no we open on the jewelry store i like what they've done
with the pace there at the opening of the movie that's all good that is misleading oh wait it's not
is it a jewelry store yeah it's a bird off goodman or something like that so we're at the jewelry
store and it's a very efficient piece of storytelling boom we're at the wedding boom we only need to
Burt the wedding for, yeah, let's say four minutes.
Then we've got a quick, hilarious shot of Samantha having sex with Nicky, the concrete layer.
You're going to lose that.
Oh, it's a good visual gag.
We don't even spend too long on it.
We can just, we'll have that.
And it's a good bit of flavour.
And it sets up Carrie's amazing line because we've got Rose who's screaming and yelling, which
is Charlotte's child, and we've got Samantha screaming in ecstasy, and then the big says,
I don't know what's worse, Samantha with a baby, and Carrie hilariously quips.
Samantha
the baby will tire eventually
That's funny
Which is pretty much
When Michael Patrick King
Wrote that line down
Yeah
That's when he started getting drunk
To celebrate
And wrote the rest of the script
Hammered as
Pretty much
He reversed engineered
An entire movie
From one decent gag
Yeah
Yeah you do get that sense
With this film
He just hung
The entire film on the gag
It's like
It's one of those movies
Where you get the sense
That maybe Michael Patrick King
Hanged
What?
I think hanged
is the right word not hung sorry
only if you're talking about people
like capital punishment for people
no I think it's always hanged
is it with everything
we hanged out no that doesn't sound
we hung out
it's hanged if you're doing it to it
like if it's the you know
you're killing some
Michael Patrick King is the
writer-director and producer of this film
which I've said before
it's always a red flag
when you see that coming up
in the title credits it's one guy's name
who's done everything
you're like oh oh this won't end well
and it's like what he's done
is he's had little visions
of stuff that he wants to see in a movie
and then hasn't quite fleshed out
how to get there properly
and that's what this movie is
is like I want a shot of a really lavish hotel
in Abu Dhabi
and then kind of glossed over
a good reason to put them there
yeah
and there's just
I feel like
in that if we follow that theory
so he just picked up like
he didn't quite know what the movie was
when they were shooting so he just picked up
a bunch of establishing shots
and like you know options and just
he'd just make the actors go on for a bit longer
just so he could get extra bits
that he might or might not put into the movie
because he didn't quite know what he was making
What are the visions that gave it to
Like what are the frames that stick out for you
That go
This is what he was going for
Okay you build a movie around
The four girls
Walking over like
Walking into frame over a sand dune
But before like let's go see me chronological
I want to see Liza Manelli
And I want Swans
Yeah
Boom gay wedding done
Okay I want to see
I think that this is that thought is that it would have occurred early because he's like, oh, yeah, that sells our movie.
Yeah, that's the, that's Trailer Fodder right there.
You know, that gives you everything you want.
What else do you want?
You want Kim Cottrell having sex?
Of course, a given.
Preferably on a Jeep with fireworks exploding in the background.
I think that would be a nice bit of pizzazz.
Someone really giving it to her on the bonnet, really giving her the business.
Yes.
And then so we make up this stupid storyline about a Danish architect named.
Ricard Spurt
Yeah
Reverse engineer
Up a storm there
There's a lot of
Like shows
Which have a lot of fun
With their names
And Sexton City 2 isn't one
That like should have
Like tonight
Dick Spurt
All those all those
Mighty Boosh style shows
Like Dixon Bainbridge
And you know
Toast of London
Like Richard Toast
Whatever his name is
Great names
Clem Fandango
That's a fun name to say
But you can't
Like
You can't
Like that's
Can you?
It's one of the few
bits of fun in there.
It's also so great.
It's not a funny name.
Like it's not funny,
but they've gone for a funny name
and just ended up with something really childish and crass.
Dick Spurt.
It exists purely for that joke.
Could you be any more American?
I don't think so.
I think that.
I had a good, I want to say this while I remember it
because I really enjoyed it.
I had a late bloomer shining light today.
Please.
When Miranda's on the
rooftop happily while true colours plays um one of the so she's giving a speech or something at
a workplace which is obviously accepted her and i think we've speculated before it's it's a
workplace which looks like a sort of like um stock photo oh yeah diverse workplace is meant to look like
it is a paint by numbers diverse workplace shot and uh one of the waiters is coming out uh and he drops
off like an entire fruit bowl in the middle of a lunch table and they've all got their
settings there and stuff yeah
And it's just, because, like, all of the fruit is, it's just pears.
He pretty much just dropped them a big bowl of pear, unwashed, unsliced pears in the middle.
It's like, this is insane.
I love it, I love it.
I love the absurdity of it.
You don't drop off a fruit bowl, as you said earlier.
Fruit bowls is supposed to be there.
It's supposed to be there waiting for you.
If you go, you walk into a, you know, you walk up to a table.
There's either a fruit bowl already on it or there's not going to be a fruit bowl on the table during the meal.
Totally.
And never the twigs, never the twain shall meet.
You should never see a fruit bowl in transit.
That's the rule.
Yeah.
Fruit bowl needs to be there or fruit bowl needs to not be there.
But fruit bowl cannot get there.
I think in the state of New Hampshire, it is a federal, it's a federal law that you cannot have a full fruit bowl in motion.
Really?
Yeah.
Punishable by.
I'm not real confident New Hampshire's a state.
Newtown or a state?
It is, I think New Hampshire is one of those places that is what you want it to be.
Right.
It's a mood.
It's utopia.
It's a vibe.
It's a state of mind.
Like New Hampshire.
New Hampshire, as they call themselves.
Yes.
Of course, after their state bone, the shin, they're known for this carefree sort of lifestyle.
And this really sort of take it as it comes approach to life.
Very happy-go-lucky people.
Yeah.
I mean, and yeah, it is, if you would identify it as a sort of a normal town before the vibe that it is, that would upset them.
I would be surprised
you've got some irate letters
from New Hampshire
It's a state
In the same way that happiness is a state
To be a New Hampshire
Is just to vibe it
Yeah
To a state of laissez-faire
positivity
Yeah
New Hampshire
You wear open-toed shoes
It's what you want
New Hampshire
You wear open-toed shoes
10 months of the year
What do they do for the other two?
No shoes
Nothing
Nothing
Naked foot
yeah that's sexy man
you like that
yeah I do
it's very it's very
to walk around
we've got a lot in common
with the New Hampshire
we've always known this
we've always had a very
close connection
with the New Hampshire's
New Hampshire's of course
the only other
big rugby players
in the world
apart from us
are they are
New Hampshire's huge rugby players
big old rugby players
really
yeah
they have a
like an
internationally ranked team
yeah
And you're telling me they're second in the world
The New Hampshire Fasants
The second rank rugby team in the world
Yeah they trade places with England a little bit
You know
England's giving them a run for their money
You know and years gone by
Those New Hampshire is very proud of their rugby heritage
Though
Tell me that for free
I didn't know that about New Hampshire's
Yeah well you see we're all learning today
We're all learning something new
You also had a cracker of a
At the near the end of the film
You kind of just zoned back into what Carrie is saying
and her mindless diatribe of voiceover
and the epilogue of the film.
And she pretty much just is like,
you know, to try and put a bow on this thing
and like, you know, take,
have a takeaway message from it.
She's like, you know what?
I'm going to treat marriage like that lady
in that foreign country treated her knee quab.
She put stuff on it.
And like, those are your,
that's your paraphrasing of what Carrie said.
She took the tradition of a knee quab
and jazzed it up.
And I'm doing that with marriage.
Yeah.
So then that's led to,
what I hope will take off.
Well, this was the working title of the movie.
Sex in the City, too.
Decals on the knee quab.
Dequel your knee quab.
Yeah.
Putting decals on the knee quab.
That's what this movie's all about.
That should have, like, too fast, too furious.
That should have been what this was called.
Hard out.
Sex in the City, two, decals on your knee quab.
On your knee quab.
Do you prefer decals on your knee quab or decal your knee quab?
Because it's more of an active voice, because there's the verb right in there.
I kind of like the latter
Dekwab your knee quam
It's a word economy
Dequab your knee quab
Decal your knee quab
I like decarb your knee quam
Okay
It's nonsensical
But you like the rhythm of it
You like the time
Feels like a line from a Spike Milligan poem
It's very New Hampshire
You know
It's
You just feel it
They're hard to understand
Because they swap the
Back end syllables of words
They just run with stuff
That feels good to them
No respect for the laws of language
God bless them
too you know
got a lot of time
for New Hampshire
yeah
a lot of time
none for this movie anymore
I think I've expired
all of my patience
in time that I once had
for sex in the city too
I think it's gone
it's gone away
it's really razzed me
you know
yeah it's difficult
what happens now
and I think it's appropriate
to have
total honesty
with you
kind listener
level with me
guy
is we watch the movie
and you just
like it's
there's some sort of
force field
which stops you from actually being able to penetrate
at just being
something happening in a room
like in the background
like I cannot physically
I cannot get in the movie
it's just and this is with
this is this is with Guy and I both
looking at the movie
not talking to each other
looking at the movie I'm not going to say watching
because watching implies that it's getting in there
like our eyes are directed at the screen
our ears are in tune to what's happening
coming out of the speakers
but we it you can't
our brain
have some
automatic safety function to them
where they're going
don't do it again boys
don't do it
that's true
and you can't get
whose head was I pasting
oh Bernie Sanders
I was just pasting
Bernie Sanders head
on all the characters
in my brain
today for some reason
I was seeing him everywhere
speaking of New Hampshire
but yeah
it was everywhere man
there's weird stuff
going on in my brain
when this movie happens now
it's like taking
a really minimal acid trip
a bad trip
it's just there
Oh, you sassy cat
Yeah, I'm a Sex and City 2's review by Guy Montgomery
It's like a bad acid trip
Well, I was amending it
Your review of it was it's like an acid trip
Which would, it probably entice some people
To at least experiment with it
I'm saying this is a class A narcotic
We need to get it off the market
Yeah, this is a control film
We need to stop selling this stuff to our children
Shut it down
I wouldn't be comfortable with my children watching this
I wouldn't be comfortable with any human
in my sphere of influence watching this.
If you could make one person in the world watch this movie?
Yep.
Who would it be?
Gandhi.
Oh, do you mean alive?
Well, yeah, preferably.
Maybe the Dalai Lama,
because then I feel like he would see this
and then be forced to comment on it,
such as the depravity of its consumerism,
and there would be something very satisfying and hilarious
about the Dalai Lama having to comment on sex in the city.
as a franchise it's just quite funny
and the thing that that was influenced by you would be
tremendous oh I wouldn't need that
I wouldn't need that component to it
I know I would know for myself and that's all I need
and it's such a you know it's a very long-winded way
of impacting social change
yeah it's a long pawn
watching sex in the 32s to get the Dalai Lama
to mention it one time
it'd be worth it though
it's a roundabout course of action
if something I did
I felt like impacted the Dalai Lama
in some way
like I'd be pretty stoked
but then I guess
you know
butterfly effects man
we're all affecting
the Dalai Lama
in some way
me going to Subway
and getting a 6 inch
chicken fillet
that's
that's had an impact on him
yeah
he might buy a new car
because I bought a 6 inch
chicken fillet
from Subway
I mean yeah
you're picking up what I'm putting down
it's probably a Prius
because he's conscious
about the globe
he get a Tesla
oh now we're talking
for sure
What does the Dalai Lama drive, do you reckon?
He doesn't drive.
In my head he's on like a horse drawn cart.
But that can't be right.
He's on a scooter, but one of those scooters with a big windshield.
Oh, yeah.
Like the Pope Mobile, but just the plastic.
Open it at the sides.
Yeah.
So you can get the breeze in.
Yeah, I got you.
Imagine if the Pope commented on sex in the city, too.
Wouldn't that be a trip?
Anyway, he's probably walking around commenting on everything.
It wouldn't surprise me.
I like this Pope.
He'd get home over to one day of, like, denouncing everything Catholicism is stood for forever.
Yeah.
He'd be tuck it out.
He wants to kick back.
He turns on the television.
Just by chance, sex and the city two's on.
Yeah.
He sort of was like, okay, I'll, you know.
I've heard bad things.
I'm tired.
I'll put it on.
I'll see.
I know my close friend and colleague, the Dalai Lama, has spoken out against this.
I should see what all the fuss is about.
Yeah, true.
And so then we've got, uh, what's this?
I keep thinking it's Benny, but Benny was the last one.
Oh, Pope Egs Benny.
This one's Francis.
Pope Francis, he's got his slippers on.
He's in bed.
He's in his robe.
He's wearing his slippers in bed.
Yeah, he's on top of the bed.
He's flopped down.
He's on top of the bed.
And he's got it on.
What's going through his head is the Pope, do you think?
He's like, oh, well, you know what?
Everything is probably a bit fucked.
So I'll just keep, I'm just going to really throw all my things at this Pope.
Pope's ship
And
Oh you think it would kind of
Draw out
Another excitement
Another burst of energy
Yeah I think
Well I think
To be like
There's so much evil in the world
I really need to get out
I need to up my game
Yeah
When there's stuff like sex
In the city rolling around
The Pope's got to be on his guard
That's what's going through his city too
He enjoyed the TV series
Oh I didn't know that
Yeah
He's known for it
You know he was a chemist
Before he was Pope
Obviously
Much before he was Pope
yeah he trained as a chemist
you're looking at me incredulously
like you're trying to determine whether
I'm making up a story he's legitimate
Pope Francis was a chemist in his earlier days
I don't know anything about
despite being the Pope or popes in general
but it is insane to me to imagine
that someone who's the Pope
who I guess in my mind I've always imagined
just doesn't work for 80 years
and then gets hired like
someone was just coasting for 80 years
in the hopes that they'll get chosen to be Pope
for a little bit. The hope for Pope
yeah
that's a lifestyle
I think it's almost entirely backwards
because you've got to work so hard
to make something of yourself
to be considered for the papacy
I just can't imagine
because
everyone's called the papacy
papal see all popes are just 80 year old white men
right
so I can't imagine any of these 80 year old white men
as chemists
but yeah so he did it when he was in his 20s
they're agedless popes
they're born looking as they are
when they become pope
so they're born
like Yoda
as a blank
canvas but in the body of an 80 year old like a blank mental canvas but in the body of an 80 year old
white man huh it's crazy huh i guess up until now we haven't been in like a technological age
where photos like a lot of photos could exist of them but you know half a generation forward 30
years from now there'll be these like facebook photos of the current pope growing up and like doing um at
their 21st doing yardies and stuff drinking out of gumboots
that'll be kind of cool
that'll be very humanizing
it'll be like the person who's at the center
of one of the world's largest religion
or the head of one of the world's largest religions
hears him doing a yardie
if you don't know what a yardie is by the way
for our American compatriots
A yard glass of beer
A yard glass
Like you drink just a stupid amount of beer
In one go
And it's a condes to see you can do it the fastest
Crazy tradition
Because you're grown up now
The New Hampshire
The New Hampshire's
The New Hampshire's know what we're talking about
It's huge in New Hampshire
It is insane
yeah it's ludicrous what a bizarre
it's kind of out of vogue now
I don't think it's as big as it was
but maybe I'm just getting old you know
I'm 27 now guy
I'm 27 years old
this is what I'm doing with my life
watching sex in the city two
week after
would you rather be a 21 year old
who's just drank a yard glass of beer
and thrown up six times
with the future ahead of you
or a 27 year old
who doesn't have to do that
but knowingly has to watch
sex like would you rather
would you take back some choices
at 21 to maybe not
enable this course of action and lifestyle
do you regret this
definitely think about it
do you regret choosing sex in city too
I don't like having regrets
I'm not a guy who enjoys
there's no point in regrets
what has happened has happened
you've got to move forward
you're a plan for the future
not dwell in the past
but this is still part of your future
that being said
I think I might
I think
all things
know and now
everything on the table
I think I would probably
not want to do this one
I
Our eyes
I mean
Our eyes were bigger
Than our stomachs on this
Definitely
We got ambitious
The whole thing is
This is that
This is funny
Because it's so painful
Like it's an absurd course of action
But this isn't
But this is beyond that
This is too
Too much
The pain of this
Is as I see at the start
this episode it's greater than what grown-ups too was inflicting on us yeah see nick have a good day at work
thanks mike take it easy sorry have work see you later yeah i think we shouldn't have um yeah
like i want to say we shouldn't have done it this is kind of what you're inferring
that's kind of how i feel um well look let me dig us out of this pip with my
shining light.
Please.
It's the teacher
who awards Brady
the first place ribbon.
Yeah, she's great.
For his mouse
maze.
I do like that delivery.
Excellent articulation of her line,
which is probably about six words
in the entire film.
Well, you get paid by split second
in America as a unionized actor.
And so she's, obviously,
she's very cleverly.
Because they actually,
I remember in the editing suite,
I was there when I was cutting the scene
and they had to speed it up
one and a half times.
Is that right?
what we're saying is actually faster than how she delivered it.
Yeah.
Wow, way.
She's good though.
I buy her being a school teacher.
Yeah.
Well, she went to a very specific acting school.
She went to the, I think it's, the institution is in Baltimore and Maryland, and it's
very small, very prestigious school.
And it's called the Academy of Arts of Teaching in Slow Motion.
And you learn that one role of a teacher who speaks in slow motion.
That's so specific.
Yeah.
Is that how drama schools are set up in the States where it's like you go to the
the school for the role.
You plugged the niche, yeah.
That you're going to play forever.
Yeah, yeah.
So what school did Sarah Jessica Parker attend?
She attended the school of being a, a draw, a movie star, movie star school.
A drawer?
Like a draw, like a draw card.
Oh, so there's schools for like superstars.
Yeah, I mean, it's crazy to me that more people don't go to those schools.
Yeah, it just seems to me like that would be the better option.
Well, I agree.
But then again, we can't all be superstars.
Not everyone's going to get a job.
This lady's been really intelligent by hedging your bets and gone,
you know what?
Maybe I'll be a superstar, but it's unlikely.
But you know what's really likely?
I'll get a lot of work being a slow speaking school teacher.
And that's what she did.
And God bless her.
She's wound up in this movie.
She's probably in others.
I don't know.
I haven't seen her before.
She'll show up in all movies.
All of them.
She's in every movie, yeah.
Fuck.
Isn't the industry strange?
I'll never understand it.
What happens with that school is it's quite rare and progressive in that you get, so you graduate and then you get meetings as part of your graduation package.
You get meetings with every director of every movie for 20 years and you get to pitch your character.
Wow.
Yeah.
The movies have to be over a $5 million budget.
But yeah, so pretty much.
And she's very good at pitching.
Right.
Because she went to.
It might be quick.
Like she might be teaching in the background of frame.
Pitching School of movie auditions, if I'm not mistaken as well, this woman.
That was her post-grad study.
She got a diploma in it.
Her degree was in slow-motion teacher acting,
and then she got the pitch post-grad stuff afterwards at the JFK school.
She's done a lot of studies, what I'm trying to say.
And that's why she's my shining light.
She's invested in herself, and I respect that, because people who don't are dummies.
People who don't get out there and pursue bits of paper that will cost a lot of your time and money and you'll be paying off for the rest of your life.
People who don't do that?
Dummies.
Dummies.
You got to put decals on your knee quab.
Your knee quab is your brain.
Your decals, your quals.
Chuck them on.
Hashtag decal your knee quab.
Well, you of course made serious national waves and headlines when you showed up your graduation ceremony with not just your degree,
but all of your graduating classes' degrees stapled to your head.
Correct.
I was decal and my knee quad.
Well, yeah, and you said you were bleeding a lot.
You're bleeding all over the certificates.
I was making a statement.
Yeah.
I bleed for my betterment.
I bleed for my self-improvement.
I bleed for a better, more superior, educated youth.
That's what I believe.
You really took the shine off a lot of people's day that day too.
I know, but sacrifices have to be made sometimes for the greater good.
Wow, I mean, I know that's your.
version of events
but I mean
if you dig up
the old newspaper articles

a very different picture
there is one thing
I do want to bring up

Super bar.
Where's he doing, where's he doing?
Where's he off to?
That is the question.
It's always the question.
The question never changes, folks.
You've heard the question.
You love the question.
You've got the question written down on a legal pad on your desk.
So you wake up every morning and you want it to yourself.
What am I doing?
you have what are you doing you've wondered that you've decaled it
decailed it on your knee quab is what you've done that question is tattooed on you
you've you've got a tattooed on your leg coffee guy um he's a guy who's in the movie
you know him you love him i certainly do he's a worshipper of the one true god the god java
and what he does is he slams a lot of coffee and then he gets the hell out of there
because he's opening an acting school
an acting school for slow motion teaching
is he
he is
well he because he tried to challenge the market
previously i mean he sunk a lot of money into another acting school
filling what he thought was the only remaining niche in the acting market
what did he was he cast fast forward swimmers
fast forward swimmers
so like fast swimmers
yeah so i think what he didn't understand is not only would he have to teach the act
of swimming as to actors
but he also had a lot of swimmers
coming into his school to learn how to swim faster.
So he didn't clearly enough differentiate between the acting and the act of.
The curriculum was sort of, it was confusing.
Does he strike you as a guy who's decaling his knee quab a lot?
This guy?
I feel like he is.
I think if you're opening that school,
you're putting a lot of maybe too many decals on your knee quab.
Oh, you think?
Well, yeah, I mean, just look at what happened.
The thing folded in on itself.
Yeah, but he gave it a guy.
He slowed a lot of swimmers down.
I had a lot of actors
faster swimmers.
Yeah.
But, I mean, no one got what they came to learn from.
You know, none of the actors became,
they didn't get cast as fast as swimmers.
They just became sort of semi-competitive amateur swimmers.
But he's getting out there and he's starting schools.
That's what America's built on.
He's touching people.
He is.
Starting schools.
You've got to start schools and then you've got to burn the schools down when they don't work.
And he did?
Of course he did.
He, what he did is he took all of the chlorinated water out of the pool,
filled it up with kerosine.
Yeah.
And he burned that.
motherfucker to the ground. He didn't, he loved it. He loved watching it burn.
Catharsis. His failure went up in smoke and he was able to release
his inner demons of disappointment in himself and letting his father down as he watched
that structure burn to rubble. He was able to release it. He was able to get past the guilt
and started fresh as an actor to drink coffee in many movies. His first mission,
sex in the city too. A script that had been floating around Hollywood for a long time
looking for funding that hadn't been made
allegedly because the script was so poor
he wasn't sure he hadn't read it
that's just what he'd heard
and look at him now
he's famous guy
he's a famous actor
in a big Hollywood movie
he went from an unsuccessful
school starter and arsonist
to a very successful
movie artist
the irony of course being that while he was shooting
the part on sex in the city too
which he trained so hard for
it occurred to him that he should open
yet another actor
school. That, of course, being the second school, it's a branch of the Baltimore,
Maryland branch of the Academy of Acting in Slow Motion Teaching. And you can actually see
the light bulb moment where the idea occurs to him on camera and he races out of the cafe. And
that's why they had to use that take, it's because that actor, that very specifically
trained actor that they'd hide. He didn't come back. He didn't come back. That was it. That
was his one take. God bless him. I'm so glad we've got him on Sally Lloyd. They probably shot
this digitally now that I think about it. No, they struck me.
is the kind of movie
when they shot one digitally
and they also shot
the entire movie on Sally Lloyd
they had two cameras next to each other
oh fantastic
that about does it
for this week guy

If you're at work right now, tabby tap, tap, tap, tap in on that keyboard, love your surroundings.
And that's both a verb and a comment.

You need to adopt the Hampshire way of thinking.
