Week one hundred and eighty-four - September 2011
Wow. I’ve opened a can of worms. Or Pandora’s box. Or released the Kraken maybe?
I’ve had an amazing response to yesterday’s blog entry. Not only was the idea received well, but we’ve had offers of sponsorship, technical support and a bunch of comedians up for it.
I don’t want people to think that this is some sort of anti-establishment stunt. It’s not. Anymore than deciding to do a podcast in 2005 was. It’s about new horizons, new technologies and artistic freedom.
Fun basically. Although, if I actually do it, it will show people how tame my official hosting was last year. I still can’t quite understand how anyone would think I overstepped the mark, was cruel, or pushed any boundaries of taste and decency. It was a network friendly gentle ribbing of the industry. Nothing more. I didn’t even dress as Hitler in the end.
Anyway. I’m looking into it. Might not happen. I might not even be available. Who knows, I might be at The Golden Globes. (awkward silence.
) The funny thing is, everyone who tunes in to the live webcast will also have to be watching the actual show on NBC. I could still be helping their ratings. Ha ha. I hadn’t thought this through. Maybe they should sponsor me? (awkward silence… slightly longer than the last one… slowly fade to black.)
We held a little press screening today for Life’s Too Short with some Q and A’s after. I enjoy them much more when I’m not the main focus of the attention. Warwick is so charming. In a different way to Karl. Karl is brilliant because he’s angry and ungrateful. Warwick is brilliant for the opposite reasons.
Difficult to explain, but my point is I like them being more in the limelight than me. Again for different reasons. Warwick will embrace it and Karl fucking hates it. Ha ha.
I’ve cut a little 7 or 8 minute feature that I’ll put out as a podcast in a few days, containing clips and behind the scenes stuff from LTS and AIA2. (Have you cracked that code? LOL) LOLWADAAM. (laughing out loud with a dwarf and a mong.)
Oh, and what do you think of this lovely Rich Hardcastle shot from this month’s GQ?
