Ross... any chance my family can come by at the Miss. St. game and get a picture with you and your bologna. We may make it our Chritmas picture.

A buddy of mine met the guy who played D-Day in Animal House this weekend. Oh yeah and some guy named Oliver Stoned.

Thanks to this thread, I am now hearing "My Bologna" by Weird Al in my head...


Early talk about "W" is that Stoned is compairing himself to Shakespere with this story...with that, I guess he means a fictionalized telling of history written in a way to be in favor of a specific audience and not intended to present real facts.

I was told that the movie was going to be pretty close to the facts, not Oliver Stone's left wing crap.

HELLO!

Of course, now I can't find the interview, but Stone was quoted as saying about the film something along the lines of "I'm not making this movie to show the truth!" and not long after he made that statement, he started saying that it would not be biased one way or the other. After the statements he has made about President Bush since 2001, there is no way the man could make a movie his former Yale classmate that wasn't negative...

Just stating what the film crew was saying. Only half of the crew are tree huggers.

Finally got everything put back to normal at the house. Wasn't too much trouble other than having to tell the set manager he would soon need a dentist appointment if he didn't immediately remove himself from my presence. He forgot his place before he was informed that the whole operation was going to be shut down by yours truly. They will try to screw you if you give them the chance. After all they are from Hollywood.

Everyone on the street ended up getting a little pay check. Had to move their late model cars because the scene was set in the 70s. Block party was pretty fun and now when I pass by the neighbors houses instead of getting a wave, I get an invite for steaks and beer.

If you go see the movie, my house is the one where the car runs through the garage door.

Is that part of the DWI scene?

[Dawgbitten]

You don't have a garage. Did they build you one?

[JAB]

Is that part of the DWI scene?

yes

You don't have a garage. Did they build you one?

Yes they did.
Just so they could drive a car through it!


Someone said that the "set people" were discribing Bush as a "drunk frat boy" in this scene. Kinda fitting for shreveportdawg isn't it?

[Poisso3]

If Brolin is truely playing President Bush as a drunken frat boy, it comes naturally: http://www.breitbart.com/article.php...show_article=1

They used my house for a second movie. Most of the filming was done at the neighbors house but they used 2 of my bedrooms for the backdrop. Leaves of Grass is the name of the movie, but I know nothing about it.

Ed Norton is in it so I know my wife will want to see that!
