I’m going to be sleeping next to you on your pilates mat when I get fired from my job because I’m addicted to your podcasts and can’t stop listening to them at work.
Great show man (as always)! When is pt. 2 coming out?
Oh no! Another one of those two part episodes. Good thing you’re a consistent podcasters. I listened to this on my flight back from NY. Loved it. I do hope that there is a happy ending to this, or at least semi.
Anyways, thank you for the shoutout. Was very surprised. You rock! Now I’m inspired to go release the second L-Cast Rambling. Catch you later.
Hey Tamee! There’s always room on the pilates mat.
Daniel! Pt. 2 is out!!! Hope all is well in Norway.
Ling! Thanks for checking in. Keep up the great work on L-Cast.
Tim – love, love, love the blog… wish there’d been a lot more of the “this is now” since james’ current situation could’ve maybe been explored a lot more. reduced to stealing cookie’s from a grocery store….yikes!! what a fascinating train wreck of a story!!
Favorite line: “…what actress am I not banging?”
Thanks guys!
Re: the stealing of the cookie. I just love that James is willing to admit this. Love it and love him!!!!
Love that he’s willing to admit it too!! Great podcast, Tim! From his voice he sounds like a repressed homosexual but I wonder why he keeps talking about his bet with a friend that he’ll nail Natalie Portman before he’s 35. Any insights Tim? Also, he does belong in L.A. cuz if he lived out where I live in Iowa he’d be getting his butt kicked on a regular basis just on principle.
Nothin’ but love in Iowa!!
No more insight to share but plenty of questions linger. You can see why I stretched it to two episodes. He was, and is, a very interesting guy.
It might just be that he stumbled into something that he doesn’t actually love, was successful at it and then sabotaged it in a way to set himself free. Not sure.
Tim:
1. I will now tease you mercilessly about N’Sync.
2. Who knew Jeffrey Tambor was such a dick? I’m thinking “sour grapes”…wait, maybe not.
actors need to realize that stories of “what happened at the audition” are only interesting to…very few. especially if you’ve done them.
I’ve a feeling I’ll love part 2.
1) i don’t remember what i said about N’Sync but i still totally love them. i stand behind what i said;)
2) totally disagree. i love audition stories. i did an entire unkempt about one. they’re relevant and interesting to whoever likes them. and those people are my audience. would you rather watch or listen to a bunch of lame Press Junket interviews?
no, i wouldn’t, but audition stories can be boring. “editing.” One of Stephen King’s first editors told him “good writing = first draft minus 10%.” Good audio/podcasting/whatever = tell your story minus 10%.
editing?
i agree but i need to take responsibility on that one. my audio editing skills at the time were rudimentary. there have been cases where subjects really needed to take your advice but in this case the beauty was that he DIDN’T edit himself. it’s just too bad that i wasn’t able to tighten things up.
in general, as long as an interview isn’t live and there are no time constraints, I’m fine with someone who isn’t great at editing themselves. for example, if I only have 15 minutes with someone at Sundance then it’s a real issue if they start meandering in their answers.
