says one of the famous talking heads populating
supermensch ,
the directorial debut of mike myers that celebrates a showbiz manager of unusual achievement , one does have to admit .
only the most dedicated pop music fan knows the name of talent manager shep gordon , but gordon ' s address book is filled with names of celebrities who consider him a friend , from longtime client alice cooper to actor michael douglas , to celebrity chef emeril legasse . in supermensch : the legend of shep gordon , directed by comedian mike myers , many of them tell outrageous stories , and testify to what a mensch gordon is . but it ' s gordon himself who is the best raconteur . from tales of his wild youth as an occasional drug dealer and rock ' n ' roll hustler , to sharing joint custody of a stray cat with neighbor cary grant , to making yak butter tea for the dalai lama , gordon ' s stories are a delight . fond , funny , gossipy and consistently entertaining , the film shows why , as myers says in the film ,
shep is the nicest person i ' ve ever met , hands down .

supermensch is an eye - popping peek into entertainment industry from the magnetic force who has worked with an impeccable roster of stars throughout his storied career .
mike myers makes his directorial debut with the documentary supermensch : the legend of shep gordon , which offers an intimate look at gordon’s life and work through the lens of a director whose admiration and love for his subject shines through . ( mensch is a yiddish word that means “a person of integrity . ” ) the film provides disarmingly forthcoming interviews with gordon himself , as well as a parade of celebrities including tom arnold , michael douglas and sylvester stallone , who line up to sing his praises ( although douglas does joke that gordon can be a motherf— - at times ) . sure , it is a fun romp through a thrilling era of rock ‘n’ roll alongside one of the biggest bands of the time . but at its core , supermensch is an ode to friendship , a sober reflection on what happens when the party is over and , more than anything , a think piece on what is really important in life .
so what has the 50 - year - old been up to , exactly ? apparently preparing for his directorial debut . on monday , a & e ; indiefilms said it had partnered with myers on
supermensch ,
a documentary about talent manager shep gordon .
toronto – making his debut as a documentarian with a subject obviously close to his heart , mike myers plants a sloppy kiss on an entertainment industry maverick whose management savvy boosted the careers of an eclectic range of artists in supermensch : the legend of shep gordon . as the title suggests , this lively portrait is as much about the subject’s humanity as his skill at making deals or shaping careers . that duality explains how the same guy who sent a live chicken to its death onstage at an alice cooper concert can also end up brewing tibetan yak butter tea for the dalai lama .
supermensch has been on our radar for a long time and we were blown away by it in toronto .
the amazing , incredible , unlikely - but - true story of the man who ' s done everything , been everywhere , and was at seemingly every important moment in musical and culinary history . he ' s a one - man history of cool . and through it all , he ' s somehow managed to remain a mensch . shep gordon is a legend .
–anthony bourdain
this documentary portrait by mike myers ( of wayne ' s world and austen powers fame ) of his friend shep gordon comes close to hagiography but is just about saved by great anecdotes , stylistic inventiveness and the low - key charm of the man himself .
gordon also partnered with ellman to open maui tacos and mala wailea . currently , the pair is working on what gordon calls the “next wave” of hrc with the launch of migrant at the wailea beach marriott , headed by chef sheldon simeon ( of top chef fame ) . while the hrc of the 1990s relied primarily on european tastes , gordon feels the next wave will offer a wider range of influences .
it helps immensely that shep gordon himself is a witty , warm and genial character with a wealth of stories ( the truth of some he even doubts himself sometimes ) and a roster of a - list showbiz friends . he also clearly has a great relationship with myers , who he met in 1991 when negotiating to use a song by alice cooper – one of gordon’s first clients – in wayne’s world . years later a depressed myers asked gordon if he could stay at gordon’s house in maui for a few days , and ended up staying for two months and being looked after by gordon . the terms ‘supermensch’ comes very much from gordon’s sense of generosity and kindness .
mike myers ' documentary debut supermensch is a flawed and unsatisfying biography about entertainment mogul shep gordon , whose astonishing career spans the music , movie , and food businesses . gordon was directly involved , on a grassroots level , in the success of such diverse pop - culture icons as alice cooper , anne murray , alan rudolph , teddy pendergrass , and . . . read more
in a new trailer for the film , michael douglas says the word “mensch” is synonymous with gordon . sylvester stallone calls him a protector : “he keeps the wolf from the door , ” the actor says . emeril lagasse credits gordon for creating the concept of the celebrity chef . and then there’s footage of gordon with the dalai lama , a personal friend .
gordon shares riotous anecdotes and outrageous accounts of his free - wheeling , globe - trotting experiences with some of the biggest celebrities of the past five decades , including his first meeting with janice joplin in 1968 , when the raspy singer punched him in the face . they call me supermensch is a sincere , hilarious behind - the - scenes look at the worlds of music and entertainment from the consummate hollywood insider .
that indebtedness might suggest a strictly laudatory view , and indeed supermensch is very much a celebration . but gordon comes across as a refreshingly candid man who feels no compulsion to varnish the truth .
best thing ever . watch it until you know it off by heart and want to marry shep .
shep reached out with both hands , as if he was a fan trying to reach up towards a rock star on the stage .
this is a fascinating insight into the hollywood machine through terrific old footage of some iconic faces . but it ' s shep himself who makes this film so engaging .
that was the beginning of a long , fruitful career for gordon as a prolific entertainment manager and his foray into the world of music and celebrities as a sort of behind - the - scenes guru . he’s worked with some of music’s biggest names , and his list of friends reads like a who’s who in entertainment . yet gordon has managed to stay behind the curtain and out of the spotlight — until now .
within days of that show , gordon bought a house in kihei — the same one he lives in today .
“shep was the guy from the outside who was smart enough to see what was great about the band and emphasize that , ” cooper says . “he understood what the audience reacted to . and the more negative press we got in the beginning , the bigger we got . ”
“he was someone who was raised on the techniques of hrc , but brought a ( filipino ) influence into it , ” gordon says of simeon .
douglas moderated a post - screening q & a with gordon , who greeted the audience with a carefree ‘aloha . ’ douglas said , “mike really caught shep , warts and all , ” before first asking what the yiddish word “mensch” means to the veteran manager .
shep gordon is the consummate hollywood insider . though he isn ' t a household name , gordon has become a beacon in the industry , beloved by the countless stars he has encountered throughout his storied career . shep gordon is known for managing the careers of alice cooper as well as stints with blondie , luther vandross and raquel welch , among others - a career that began with a chance encounter in 1968 with janis joplin and jimi hendrix . he even found time to invent the
celebrity chef .
though the chef as star is part of the culture now , it took shep ' s imagination , and his moral outrage at how the chefs were being treated , to monetize the culinary arts into the multi - billion dollar industry it is today . personal friends with the dalai lama through his philanthropic endeavors with the tibet fund and the guardian of four children , gordon ' s unlikely story told by those who know him best , his pals , including alice cooper , michael douglas , sylvester stallone , anne murray , willie nelson , emeril lagasse and more .

in 1991 , music manager shep gordon held mike myers over a barrel a few weeks before shooting wayne ' s world regarding an alice cooper song myers wanted to use in the film . they have been close friends ever since . twenty - two years later , the story of gordon ' s legendary life in the uber fast lane is now told in myers ' directorial debut . and this time it ' s myers who has gordon over a barrel .
the extensive focus on gordon’s work with cooper points up the strange juxtaposition of that artist alongside one of his other major successes of the ‘70s , anne murray . having trouble booking the white - bread canadian country - pop singer onto nbc’s the midnight special , gordon upped her hipster credibility by having her photographed with cooper’s drinking club , the hollywood vampires , which included john lennon , harry nilsson and mickey dolenz .

most of the buzz around this documentary comes from its director : mike myers . out of the spotlight for many years ( following several box office bombs ) myers has turned his energy to the world of directing , and in particular to a giant in the industry : shep gordon . a man who has managed everyone from alice cooper to emerill lagasse , this famous manager has a buttload of stories , and is finally given a way to tell them . read more at urltoken
he’s been grappling with early signs of becoming recognizable : recently , on his way to an interview in new york , he was approached by a woman who said she had seen supermensch . she had a question for gordon she hoped he could help her out with . gordon cut her off . he had to go . he was late for his interview .
that supermensch has its origins in that type of closeness makes sense in the no - holds - barred type of stories that gordon shares . tales about dealing pot at landmark hotel . creating a traffic jam just to show off a giant poster of a mostly naked alice cooper . the truth behind cooper’s infamous “chicken incident . ” gordon , now in his late 60s , is open about expressing the potential consequences of maintaining the exploits of a freewheeling lifestyle paired with a propensity to work all the time . he bares all in his desire for a family , for a child , for something that will mean he won’t wake up from surgery alone in a hospital room .
gordon is never less than honest when talking about his relationships , boozing , drug taking , though the film gets it real sense of depth and warmth when he talks about the more compassionate side of his life .
the stories are great . . . the kind of crazy hollywood tales that could ' ve only happened in the ' 70s .
celebrated snl alumnus and austin powers star mike myers steps behind the camera for this documentary examining the life and legacy of beloved hollywood insider shep gordon . a music manager whose chance run - in with jimi hendrix and janis joplin back in 1968 led to an enduring career as a manager for the likes of alice cooper , blondie , and raquel welch , gordon later reinvigorated the culinary - arts industry as the driving force behind the concept of a
celebrity chef .
in addition to exploring those aspects of gordon ' s impressively multifaceted career , myers ' film also reveals how his subject ' s involvement with the tibet fund led to a close friendship with the dalai lama as a host of celebrities , including sylvester stallone , emeril lagasse , willie nelson , michael douglas , and cooper , reflect on the man who helped to build countless careers in the entertainment industry .
evidence surfaces throughout the film of gordon’s compassion and personal integrity . this is underscored by his eventual fatigue with the “what you are , not who you are” aspect of los angeles culture . there’s a sad irony in the fact that after working most of his life to increase the fame of his clients , he comes to reject fame as something fundamentally unhealthy .
myers had wanted to make a film about him for years , but gordon always declined the request . then , in 2012 , gordon was in the hospital recovering from surgery , unsure if he was going to live or die . when myers called him to check in , gordon agreed to the idea of a documentary : “i don’t really know ( why ) , but instead of ‘no’ coming out of my mouth , ‘yes’ came out . ”
“i have been on the road for 10 weeks . i haven’t been home since then , ” gordon says over the phone from l . a . “home” these days for gordon is largely kihei , maui , where he has had a house since the 1970s . he has been touring with supermensch , hitting the film festival circuit for screenings in san francisco , london , austin and a blur of other cities . it was released last week in new york and l . a . and played june 4 at the maui film festival , where gordon was recognized with the event’s maverick award . it is tentatively scheduled to play at kahala theatre starting july 2 . supermensch has been garnering a generally favorable critical reception , and gordon is happy it’s doing so well . still , he’s looking forward to his next stint at home on maui , which will be just a few days before he takes off again to promote the film .
gordon , seemingly as likable a prolific wheeler - dealer as you’re ever likely to encounter , rose from abject stoned hippiedom to starmaker at the end of the age of aquarius . chance meetings with hendrix and joplin led to an introduction to rock rotters alice cooper ( the group ) and a verbal contract between gordon and that band’s eponymous singer . a kind of innate showbiz acumen leads gordon to great innovations on his client’s behalf ( he was the guy who planted the live chicken on stage at the infamous alice cooper gig that got the artist tagged as a poultry slayer ) , and by the 40 - minute mark of the movie he’s working the same magic for anne murray and teddy pendergrass . director myers is pretty deft at getting his aforementioned talking heads , which range from stallone to legase to the personal attaché to the dalai lama , to make sense of gordon’s eclecticism .
“there are certain moments in your life where your instincts sharpen and tell you what to do , ” cooper says . “when i met shep , i knew he was one of us . ”
the ballad of narayama
is a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens…
now , thrust into the spotlight for the first time , gordon is becoming a star in his own right . what will that mean ?
if gordon has been on the sidelines of the spotlight , it’s because he prefers it that way . for all of those years he spent making people famous , gordon remains surprisingly skeptical , if not downright critical , of fame itself . early in supermensch , he shares a warning he would give prospective clients before taking them on : “if i do my job perfectly , i will probably kill you . ” when i ask him about this later , he elaborates : “i will make them very famous , and fame kills . ”

myers , who has known gordon since he visited the set of 1991’s “wayne world” and haggled over which alice cooper song myers could license for the film , was happy to oblige .
in “supermensch , ” gordon is portrayed as partly a zelig - like figure who happened to be at the right place and the right time , meeting janis joplin and jimi hendrix within a day of moving to los angeles , and partly as wheeler and dealer that specialized in making everyone around him happy , from his clients to friends like michael douglas and sylvester stallone .

gordon noted that of all his famous friends’ segments in supermensch , he found steven tyler and tom arnold the most hysterical . longtime friend michael douglas told thr of gordon , “he has a joie de vivre that’s nice to see , and he’s an unbelievable cook – i mean , he dreams about food most all the time , ” adding that he prefers gordon’s pastas and fish dishes most . “you’re not born a mensch , you’re made one . he wasn’t always like that , so at some point in his life , certain things happened and he succeeded . he has lived a very good life , and one a lot of us should aspire to . ”
“reality has never seemed to important in the 50 years shep and i have been working together . when we need something to happen , shep just works his magic to simply make it a reality . i’m still not sure how he does it—he just has that natural ability to create scenarios and relationships that help to get you where you need to go . ” –alice cooper

the two met on the set of myers’ 1992 film wayne’s world , in which alice cooper made an appearance . when myers was going through a tough personal time , he called gordon and asked if he could stay on maui with him for a couple weeks . gordon , who has an open - door policy when it comes to his friends , said of course . myers ended up staying there for two months , with gordon caring for him “like a baby chick that had fallen out of the nest” as myers recalls in the film .

“shep just fell in love with maui immediately . he is just a genuine person , and he is a nice person , and he is very giving , ” moffatt says of gordon , whom he calls a “dear friend . ” “he has a great aura about him . he is somebody you like from the moment you meet him . ”
it’s the generosity , we suspect , that moved myers , who first met gordon through
wayne’s world ,
in which alice cooper appeared , to craft this loving portrait . he punctuates his talking head segments with animation sequences , flashes of punchline imagery , and the occasional cheeky caption , such as the description of cbc staple gordon pinsent as
famous canadian .
it’s pretty entertaining and at times almost educational—gordon’s account of how , and why , he created the category of celebrity chef is a short course in modern - day branding , for better or worse . the movie’s nutritional value , documentary wise , is pretty dubious in other respects , though ; youngsters watching this are likely to come away with the impression that alice cooper was always a solo act rather than the front man of a band , none of the other members of which make an appearance here .
gordon said that the film triggered “a wide range of emotions” for him : while he was humbled by all of the kind commentary , it was tough for him to talk about his mother , and awkward to discuss the value of his maui home . he also clarified , “it’s mike’s story of me – and it’s sort of a love story , so none of the blemishes are really there , ” noting that he had a card added at the end for his early manager partner joe greenberg and that douglas was the key hollywood boldface in launching the celebrity chef category , after gordon fell in love with cooking due to a meal from roger verge . “one of the things i wanted to mention tonight is in this movie , i get credit for everything , but everything i get credit for was part of a team effort . ”

shep gordon has managed many huge acts , first in the music business , and then in other areas ranging from film to cooking . he has also befriended just about every heavyweight in hollywood . and yet it seems he ' s managed to do so while still being a good guy , a nice guy , an honorable guy . there are on camera interviews with alice cooper ( who was shep ' s 1st client , and who he has managed for 45 years ! ) , mick fleetwood , michael douglas , tom arnold , emeril lagasse , anne murray , mike meyers , willie nelson , sylvester stallone and steven tyer . but the best interview subject is shep himself , who has tremendously entertaining , often funny and occasionally tragic anecdotes about his many years in show business . among the most interesting are the various clever , and sometimes amusingly devious ways shep would raise his clients ' public profiles and help make them stars . there ' s a genuine wisdom and even a spiritual side to shep , who befriended the dali llama , and spent a week cooking for him as a way of giving back . ultimately shep realized , sadly late in the game , that there was more to life than work , and that he was missing out on having kids and a family . not a ' change your life ' film , but it ' s always engaging , like listening to the most fun and intelligent guest at a great party .
“i think the more i would’ve known , the more scared i would’ve been to make the journey - - not knowing was a huge advantage , for what i ended up doing , ” gordon told the hollywood reporter of his career , upon arriving at new york city’s sva theatre on saturday for the tribeca film festival screening of supermensch , adding that “it’s bizarre” how the cameras are focused on him for once . for those stepping into the manager role today , he advised , “don’t chase fame for the sake of fame . work really hard , and if you get famous from how well you do your craft , it’s a burden that’s worth taking on . but if all you care about is fame , then you’ll destroy it . ”
mike myers makes his directorial debut by chronicling the fascinating life of one of hollywood ' s most fabled raconteurs and charismatic talent managers .
the film , which premiered at toronto screened again recently at the miami international film festival , is a pacy , funny romp through a very individual life . shep gordon is a rare man who thrives on a challenge , has an innate warm humanity and a glorious mass of contradictions . an easy watch and packed with great anecdotes , it is a film that would work well in formal distribution along with the film festival circuit .
so what is the retired gordon up to lately ? “i’m on the harvey weinstein rat wheel of festivals and questions and interviews ! but i’m living in maui and cooking a lot , trying to be happy . ”

if the film is often pure hagiography , it ' s rescued by the huge charm of its subject , whose present - day interviews reveal a figure of compassion and humility .
at the afterparty , which was held at the wayfarer and attended by radius - twc ’s tom quinn and jason janego , kyle machlachlan , gina gershon , anthony bourdain and michael stipe , variety asked gordon if he recognized the version of himself audiences saw onscreen .
although gordon explains that his strategy as a manager has been mainly “flying by the seat of your pants , ” he has had one reigning mantra through it all : act with compassion .
while gordon is honest about the limited duration of his relationships and marriages , a few more probing questions in that area might not have been amiss . instead it’s more or less shrugged off as too much time spent looking after other people’s lives at the expense of his own .
the two also celebrated gordon’s family happenstance in adopting four kids ( “i got lucky . i hope they think they got lucky too , ” said gordon ) , how they first met at one of douglas’ parties in santa barbara ( “i look out in my backyard , and there’s a rock ’n’ roll bus . look at this , this guy is full service ! ” laughed douglas ) , and gordon’s own maui get - togethers , one of which , at 3 a . m . , the only person left was jack nicholson . “he says [ to gordon ] , ‘which one of us has to go home ? ’”

for gordon , this is the “only ( philosophy ) that makes any sense . ” it has a place in his personal life , too . a friend of the dalai lama , gordon serves on the board of the tibet fund , which supports tibetan refugees . in 2007 , he brought the dalai lama to maui for talks that drew 10 , 000 people on back - to - back days . he also helped to raise four children — the grandchildren of a former girlfriend now all in their 20s and 30s . he bought the williams family a house , took them on vacations and brought them along on tour with alice .

ida presents a special screening of mcqueen with moderated q & a . the film is a personal look at the extraordinary . . .
in addition to the critical reception it has received , supermensch also has been a crowd - pleaser at festivals . at each premiere , people come up to gordon and tell him that the film has inspired them to be more giving in their own lives . one couple at the sun valley film festival , for example , told him that it reminded them to be more generous . and they wanted to start with him . they gifted him some fresh elk , which made delicious elk sausage the next morning .
cutting from outrageous performance moments to the aging rock icon in a polo shirt , sitting on a boat with gordon or sauntering around the golf course together , yields some gentle laughs , with cooper clearly in on the joke .
now considered one of the greatest heavyweight fighters of all time , smokin ' joe frazier ( 1944 - 2011 ) lived a truly remarkable life . though he was born into the most disadvantageous of circumstances , surrounded by poverty in the pre - civil rights era south , frazier . . .
the scale of that disappointment is impossible for me describe here , even if i had time .
gordon laughs a lot , and his famous pals relate memories of him fondly . we’re told he tells great stories…and from what’s seen in the trailer , it’s hard to imagine otherwise . take a look :
gordon was instrumental in busting teddy pendergrass out of dreary suits and into sexier attire as he was molded into “the black elvis , ” playing women - only concerts . one of the most emotional clips here shows pendergrass’ return to the stage at the historic 1985 live aid concert in philadelphia , three years after an auto accident had left him a paraplegic . less time is spent on luther vandross , another r & b vocalist who rose to superstardom during his association with gordon , but took it personally when his manager quit the business .

are the focus of first - time director sara dosa ' s lovely , elegiac the last season , winner of the golden gate award for bay area documentary . every autumn , a motley group of misfits gathers in chemult , oregon , to hunt the valuable matsutake mushroom . in japan the prized delicacy fetches hundreds of dollars a pound , and during the two - month season , hunters can earn thousands . dosa , who had learned about chemult as a graduate student in cultural anthropology , followed several hunters during the season , but ultimately concentrated on two : roger higgins , a vietnam veteran who suffers from ptsd , and kouy loch , a cambodian refugee who survived the horrors of the khmer rouge . how the two men bonded over their shared experiences is at the core of
a search for healing , meaning and family in the wake of profound violence ,
dosa wrote in the festival ' s blog . fittingly , the last season had its world premiere at the festival , where dosa worked before leaving to make the film .
while the film could easily slide into more melancholic territory , it’s myers’ comedic instinct , and moreover gordon himself , who keeps it from going there .
gordon stumbled into music management when he checked into the hollywood landmark motor hotel and was decked by janis joplin and got some early advice from jimi hendrix . an early client was alice cooper…though the challenge was finding a way to break his unique stage show of sex and violence . strategic use of a chicken in one act – thrown onto stage by gordon claims cooper – led to headlines and serious bookings for cooper .
gordon is never less than honest when talking about his relationships , boozing , drug taking , though the film gets it real sense of depth and warmth when he talks about the more compassionate side of his life . he became the de - facto family to four orphaned children - grandchildren of a former girlfriend - whose upbringing he financed after their mother died ; moved to maui where he developed a famous open - house lifestyle and developed a spiritual sense of life and still continues to yearn to have a child of his own .
“i do , ” he said . “but it’s mike’s vision of me , more than my vision of me . ”

you may relish the gossipy , dishy stuff myers serves up . for a while , you can feel like a part of the golden circle .
myers recaps gordon’s entry into chef management . this was undertaken more out of an interest in the culinary arts and as a favor to friends in a then - underappreciated field than as a moneymaking venture . but with emeril lagasse as his breakthrough client , he helped usher in the era of celebrity chefs on television .
shep gordon - - in his storied career as a talent manager , agent , and producer - - has worked with , and befriended , some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry , from alice cooper to bette davis , raquel welch to groucho marx , blondie to jimi hendrix , sylvester stallone to salvador dalí , luther vandross to teddy pendergrass . he is also credited with inventing the “celebrity chef , ” and has worked with nobu matsuhisa , emeril lagasse , wolfgang puck , roger vergé , and many others .
locally , alongside moffatt , gordon has produced concerts including ub40 , the who , aerosmith and willie nelson . but perhaps his most visible and lasting contribution to hawaii has been his work with local chefs in creating the hawaii regional cuisine movement . gordon , who has been to culinary school and often traveled with renowned chef roger verge , had been cultivating the concept of celebrity chefs — and wanted hawaii to also benefit from that .
he had checked into the landmark motor hotel without knowing that it was a low - key gathering place for the rock elite . gordon was relaxing in his room when he heard what he thought were sounds of distress by the pool . he ran down there and attempted to save joplin , whom he thought was being attacked . he was just trying to help . only joplin wasn’t being attacked . she was having sex , and gordon broke up the action . so she hit him .
the movie is like sitting at a restaurant with a guy who’s got some of the best stories you’ve heard in your life—provided , that is , that you’re into stories about showbiz . gordon , it can never be said enough , has met and / or done business with anyone who was ever anyone , and in some peculiar ways—he and cary grant had a joint custody arrangement concerning a housecat . gordon’s genius at showmanship—among other things , he pioneered the
for ladies only
concerts that shot r & b love man pendergrass’ career into the stratosphere—is , per this portrait , matched only by his menschiness . gordon , who has a distinct speaking style and infectious laugh , speaks of his philosophy of
compassionate business
as he recounts , with confidence but some modesty , how he put the business affairs of groucho marx in order . the recounting of some literally astonishing acts of generosity makes you like the guy quite a bit , in spite of his having sported a
no head , no backstage pass
t - shirt for a good portion of his drug - fueled ‘70s heyday . ( and while his taste in music was all over the map , his accomplishments as a movie co - producer were refreshingly daring ; he had a hand in bringing such pictures as
koyaanisqatsi
and
kiss of the spider woman
into theaters . )
“i just try to have winners and winners , ” gordon says . “i try to do an extra little bit of work to make sure that everybody sort of wins , and there is not a winner and a loser . you can’t do it all the time , but i try . ”
gordon’s involvement in movies is touched in cursory fashion and seems marginal compared to his influence in music . but the whirl of hollywood celebrities in his orbit is well documented . effusive testimonials to his qualities as a wildly unconventional character , a generous host and loyal friend come from michael douglas , sylvester stallone and tom arnold , among others . ( sharon stone , whom gordon dated for a couple of years in the early ' 90s , is a no - show . )
even when it comes to the paparazzi . he’ll often try to strike a deal with them : they can take their photo , the star gets to choose it , and he gets a cut of the money that he donates to the maui food bank .
“i had no real reason to be in the spotlight , ” gordon says . “and there is nothing i find attractive about it … i enjoy having my anonymity . ”
both those anecdotes are shared on - camera , and the loquacious gordon is an inveterate raconteur whose interviews benefit from his warm rapport with myers . the two met in 1991 while negotiating the use of a song by cooper in wayne’s world . myers reveals that when he fell into a funk some time after , he asked to go stay a few days at gordon’s house on maui ; he ended up being cared for there by his friend for two months .

chamku is the journey of a boy chandrama singh alias chamku whose family had been brutally murdered and was brought up and trained by naxalites in southern interiors of bihar . he was later picked up under a covert governmental program jointly conceived by raw & ib . chamku was trained to kill . best in the read more
chamku rests on an outdated plot and given the blood - gore - brutality in the film will face an uphill task .
a dharmendra production , chamku stars priyanka chopra as the female lead along with irrfan khan , danny denzongpa , ritesh deshmukh , arya babbar and rajpal yadav . while sameer has penned the lyrics than monty sharma has composed the melodious music for chamku .
overall chamku is watchable ones if you don ' t mind watching those typical bollywood stories that have been told a million times before .
told , the film is about chandrama singh more known as chamku ( bobby ) and the location is the dense and deep forests in bihar . apparently , chamku is an orphan who grows up in the rough environment and believes in the philosophy of gun which leads him to be
' chamku ' depicts the journey of a naxalite from bihar , who has been secretly tutored under a governmental programme and trained to kill .
it ' s like just when you thought the age of sons avenging the murder of their famer daddies by the resident thakurs is over , chamku strikes .
too often ridiculous to be taken seriously , chamku works so intently at being contrived that it neither touches the core of its issues nor the psyche of the individual it revolves around .
chamku is a movie starring bobby deol , priyanka chopra , and irrfan khan . a traumatized child becomes a naxalite , and upon being captured must agree to become a police - assassin .
year 2007 was eventful for bobby as he had five back - to - back releases shakalaka boom boom , jhoom barabar jhoom , apne , naqaab and nanhe jaisalmer . after a quiet 2008 so far , bobby would be making a thunderous beginning with chamku . directed by kabeer kaushik , the man who had debuted with arshad warsi starrer sehar 3 years back , chamku is an action thriller where bobby plays the role of chandramohan singh a . k . a chamku , who moves from southern bihar to mumbai , where he gets entangled in the world of crime once again .
after chamku , bobby deol will feature in two more home productions and says the films made by his own banner gives him a chance to play the kind of roles he wishes to play .

this month marks the 25th year of the deols’ film production banner vijeta . it will release chamku , next friday . here the reclusive sunny deol talks about vijeta and his dream plans to khalid mohamed .
many in the trade are wondering what sunny deol’s new production venture , ' chamku ' , is all about . the unusual title is actually the nickname of the hero ( bobby deol ) in the film .
his real name is chandramohan singh . inspired by a real - life story , ' chamku ' has been directed by kabeer kaushik who had earlier made ' sehar ' ( starring mahima chaudhry and arshad warsi ) .
bobby has become pro - active - he had been a part of the music sitting , pre - production , post - production of his recently released chamku , which was produced by his banner vijayta films pvt . ltd .
unlike the offbeat aamir or commercially viable gangaajal , which presented both the psyche and reality of an existent , ruthless scenario with subtle irony and strong subtext , chamku offers the same old bollywood saga of revenge against the backdrop of socio - political nexus .
agreeably , chamku is a smart film made by a talented director who has the potential to go to great heights if he keeps experimenting . all performances are brilliant , and technically speaking the film is nothing short of a filmfare . everything has a natura

t he 9am show of chamku [ images ] at a suburban mumbai multiplex was cancelled because no one showed up , except me . i have no choice but to make another trip for the next show . this time , i am told unless they have at least six people in the audience , they cannot screen the show . i argue that if you keep denying tickets like this , obviously there won ' t be anyone left to watch the movie . after a heated argument and much - needed intervention from three other guys , i finally obtain a ticket to the screening .
aaja milke’s tune is haunting and even that seemingly standard rhythm builds up quite impressively . shail and shreya ghosal are in fabulous form crooning this one . the techno - pathos in bin daseyaa and kithe jawa is tiresome , despite those punchy orchestration . even dukh ke badri is rather monotonous with false pretensions of an ornate sound . gola gola reworks the sanjay leela bhansali style for the umpteenth time only to get on the nerves , while the bluntly titled trance is a haphazard , noisy jumble . after an overdose of over - the - top sugary melodies in saawariya , monty sharma sounds out of place in chamku’s soundtrack !

nothing new at all . it was too slow to be a thriller and too violent to be a drama . in the end it was a dull tale of a trained killer , with the romance added in for the pleasure of the average bollywood audience . the whole romance angle was totally unnecessary . also , musical numbers were not called for given the tone for rest of the movie . action sequences were pretty average . none of the performances were particularly impressive . on the whole this is one movie that can be avoided without missing out on anything at all . poor story , screenplay , and direction ruins the movie , with the cast and budget they should have surely made something better than this .

have the clouds cleared . . the debt issues resolved ? i can say that the clouds are clearing . . yes . < b1 >
they mean 25 years of me as well . . actually of all of us . we haven’t ever done rush jobs , or hacked out stuff , we’ve released seven films . .
. we’ve kept a low profile for the last five years , we talk only when there’s something to talk about . most of the films we’ve made have been liked by the people as well as the critics . . they’ve won awards . we’ve wanted to do sensible cinema at vijeta . . touchwood the momentum is back .
but during the last few years , you’ve had to handle financial matters . hasn’t that taken a toll on you ?
perhaps . the toll was taken in the business - handling side . i trusted people whom i shouldn’t have . anyway , it’s been an education .
( pause ) cheat ? no . i blame myself . i guess i was a simpleton and will continue to be one . no one can change me . but i’ve adapted . . moulded myself to the situation today . i’ll go with the wave . . and i’ll be there in it . . because i’m a damn good swimmer who never gives up . i’ve analysed myself . i’m not good at smart talk , power lunches and the new corporate lingo . i went wrong on the management side , it was way beyond my total control and understanding at the time of
we didn’t have loads of money , nothing in the league of the amount that’s being spent by the limited companies . our game plan was to make a movie . . not to manipulate anyone . that’s become a given but we still have to learn the abcd of that . now while marketing
. next week , with the release , our campaign will intensify , we’ll be taking off for road shows . earlier on , fans waited for a new film , they were hungry for a new film . now , the audience has to be made aware that hey , we’re coming . < b2 >
i’m a mixture . to be an actor is to opt for the easiest way of life . it’s super - comfortable . direction means creating characters and situations . . which come alive from script to execution . production means ensuring teamwork . . and i’ve seen that suppose you have 20 guys on board , 10 will work like crazy while the other 10 will goof off .
is at top of the mind , of course right now . then i’m directing
which is 20 per cent complete . sangeeth sivan will be directing dad and bobby in a film . then bobs and i will be in a film to be directed by sameer karnik . and all three of us — dad , bobs and i — will be in masters which will be directed by anil sharma .
i know . and that’s because he didn’t quite know how to say no . if someone has been nice to dad earlier on his career , he displays his gratitude immediately .
ha , ha . of course . bobs’ strengths are that he’s a diligent actor and has a personality . he doesn’t have to make an extra effort to look good .
ha ha . . of course . but neither of us is anywhere close to dad .
quite a few times . . i’d get agitated at one time . but now my back is cured . . physically too it’s fine .
yeah , why ? . . ( pause ) i’ve worked with quite a few first - timers . neither the director nor the actor should get possessive . . one has to move on . . and then show mutual respect at least . < b3 >
at the end of the day , no one helps you when you’re in trouble . everyone is into bluffing . they’ll say they are there but when it comes to the crunch , you’re alone .
all conflicts pass . . they fizzle out . i’m okay about it . it’s all so distant in the past .
ha , yeah i’m shy but i’ve done pretty well by being shy so far .
can’t say because the filmmakers won’t like it . i can just say that i wasn’t quite there in

bobby told ians in an interview .
like his father dharmendra and elder brother sunny , bobby is now fully into family concerns . but he is not ready to direct a film yet .
i ' ve been part of this industry for years . and my brother is into direction . i don ' t feel ready for it . i wish i was .
there ' s no other way we can come together on screen . sangeeth sivan is directing it . it ' s the story of a father and son discovering each other during a journey .
then i ' m doing an action - comedy with sunny deol . but it won ' t be just fun . we brothers will share a lot of emotional moments . we can ' t come together without sharing emotions . that will be directed by samir karnik , who is another of my favourite directors . i ' ve done two films with samir and we deols are very impressed by his work .
asked about outside films , bobby said :
though i ' m open to outside offers it ' s definitely more productive to do home productions where everything is under our control . and we have three in - house actors .
and he has recovered very well . i ' m dying to work with him . we start in october end .
