Titolo: Kevin Smith e i suoi cani (attori inclusi)

Nel suo sito, all'indirizzo 
http://www.psycomics.com/columns/2000/ksmith/
il regista di Clerks e Chasing Amy ci rivela due terribili segureti:
1) come il sindaco (ciao Nico, sei ancora in carica?) ha due cani che si
chiamano Mulder e Scully
2) e' un fan dell'interprete di Return To Me, il film preferito di questo NG
*grin*... beh, forse piu' sua moglie che lui, ma si sa chi e' che porta i
pantaloni, in famiglia!
Dio, come vorrei vedere la faccia di certi critici:-DDDDDD

The day becomes an epochal one in the Smith household, for it's the day that
I'm to meet with David Duchovny.
I'm a fan of the man, going back to The Rapture, in which he gives the most
haunting delivery of a single line ever in film. Ever. David plays a swinger
who eventually settles down with a Born Again Christian (portrayed by Mimi
Rogers), and the scene I'm talking about is the one in which a disgruntled
employee David's character recently laid off returns to the workplace with a
shotgun. The guy's icing people left and right, and he comes to David's
office, wielding his George W. menacingly. David says simply "I have a
daughter." Following that, he's blown away. I can't do the delivery justice
here in print. Check the flick out for yourself and see what I'm talking
about.
Of course, I'm an X-Files fan as well (indeed, I have two Yellow Labrador
Retrievers named Scully and Mulder). But there is no greater casual X-Files
fan on this planet ("casual" meaning a fan who won't whip him or herself for
missing an episode) than my loving wife, Jen. But more than an X-Files fan,
she's a Fox Mulder fan. And more than that, she's a Duchovny fan. And when I
say fan, I mean she had a little picture of David Duchovny in his
tighty-whiteys (that she'd cut out of a magazine many moons prior to meeting
me) in her wallet. We were well into the fifth or sixth month of wedded
bliss before I'd eventually asked her to remove it, as... you know, we were
married and all.
So the wife is going ape-shit about this meeting, which she's going to as
well, running around the hotel room practicing her giggle and hair-flip.
It's the only thing I've ever accomplished that she's impressed by, and
she's all aflutter. What should she wear? Does she tell him about the dogs'
names? Should I (meaning me) stay home?
It's quite emasculating, to say the least.
The meeting came suddenly. His agent called our casting mistress - having
heard I was in town, doing the rounds - and said that David wanted to meet.
Not necessarily to be in the movie, as he was doing an Ivan Reitman flick
during the time we were to be shooting Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. He
just wanted to meet for the hell of it. They also sent over the episode of
the Files he'd directed last season called "Hollywood A.D.", so that I could
familiarize myself with his directorial efforts. It was unnecessary, as I'd
not only already seen that episode when it aired (in fact, I'd watched it
with great interest, due to the fact that an article in Entertainment Weekly
made it sound like there were some minor plot similarities to what I was
doing in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back), but also his directorial debut on
the show the year before (the great baseball episode with Jesse Martin; he
of Law & Order fame). I'm up - way up - on the Duchovny oeuvre.
The Ivy in Santa Monica was to be the meeting place, and on the ride there,
Mosier filled me in on what had went down with the ill-fated Kate Hudson New
York meet-and-greet.
If you'll remember, Kate's new agent had suddenly informed us that a meeting
we were supposed to have with the Almost Famous starlet was now not going to
happen, and we were to, instead, simply offer her the part. I wanted to find
out why the sudden shift, when her previous agent had scheduled a
meet-and-greet with us a mere few days before. Was it that her new agent
felt the white-hot Kate had bigger fish to fry, due to the amount of offers
he'd been fielding since Cameron Crowe's flick hit the screens? Or was it
something more sinister that accounted for the change of heart?
You see, the agent had read the script already. He's one of the few in town
who had, solely because he's Ben's and Matt's agent, and Ben and Matt are in
it. Since he's now also Kate's agent, this could mean that he'd judged the
project as being beneath her (which, let's be honest, it is; but then, the
flick's beneath even Mewes), and he was trying to remove us from Kate's
periphery entirely. This irritated me to no end, because even if it's
something he doesn't want Kate to do, Kate should be allowed to decide that
for herself.
The question was moot, however, as Kate already had decided for herself,
without needing to look at the script. Mosier had talked to the agent and
was informed that Kate's just not really a fan. She doesn't hate the movies,
but she doesn't like them either. She put the kibosh on the meeting.
Fair enough. Shit, she's not alone. There are many cats out there who don't
like our flicks. And truth be told, she wasn't the best part of Almost
Famous anyway. Jason Lee was (but then, I'm biased), and I've already got
him in the picture.
That Kate's out of the running means that Heather Graham's casting has lost
another obstacle. But I still want to meet Amy Smart before any offers are
made. And beyond those two choices, Shannon Elizabeth remains a front runner
(her meeting was just that good, and we continue to be impressed by her,
even five days later)..
But none of that matters right now, because we're almost at the Ivy. Jen's
decided she's not going to sit through the whole lunch. She'll shop for an
hour and then "drop in" afterwards. Mind you, she's still trying to
perfectly fashion her meeting with Duchovny (because that's what it's
become: her meeting).
So Jen goes off to shop, and Scooter and I sit down at the Ivy and down some
gumbo while we wait for the guy who plays the man who believes the Truth Is
Out There. And after ten minutes, the Truth isn't Out There; it's standing
in front of us, smiling, saying, "Hi, I'm David.

"What's true for most people in our position is you just want to do
something different. You're not tying to become a star, you're an actor
looking for a different part. I have a great amount of respect for actors
like David Caruso, Jimmy Smits, or Julianna Margulies. They turned down a
lot of money to do something very uncertain. Instead of applauding them,
people attack them." David Duchovny, MrShowbiz, April 2000

E che vuoi frequentare.... di la' c'e' un sacco di strana gente che sostiene
che X-files sia un telefilm horror e che la presenza di Mulder sia (sempre)
stata marginale.... e' diventato un postaccio:-DDDDDD
Penso proprio che restero'!
BTW, ho visto Dinosauri. BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLO! Il io cuoricino
romantico ha fatto cu-cum cu-cum per tutto il tempo. Solo una domanda. In
tutte le sale il primo tempo e' stato di 58 minuti e il secondo di 15 oppure
erano ubriachi al Supercinema di Latina?

Oooooooooooohhhhhhhh, poveri, poveri attori TV che quando applicano il loro
talento a progetti piů arrischiati vengono mazzati senza ragione! Proprio
vero, la bravura non paga piů.

Fallo, ti prego. Ho deciso di applicare la par condicio. Per ogni rece
negativa su Dudu' ne devo leggere almeno una buona su GA.
Colpiscimi senza pieta':)
BTW, ho letto che mentre le vengono molto bene le scene strappacore, a far
la cascamorta non ci piglia molto. Sette anni di astinenza sono tosti anche
per una grande attrice:-PPPPPPPPPPPP

Sono mesi che dico che il mondo si sarebbe sdilinquito davanti a GA, basta
che a me una cosa stia sulle palle e diventa un successone. E' gia' successo
cone Helen Hunt, Winona Rider e Gwinneth

E comunque sono etero, il posteriore di GA non potra' mai competere con
quello di DD ai miei occhi. E non sto parlando metaforicamente;)
