- bixby1, on 06/26/2008, -1/+33I knew James Cameron was a confident guy, but after reading the story of how he got 'Aliens' off the ground, I'm in awe.
- inactive, on 06/26/2008, -2/+33Jack Nicholson is the gold standard of Hollywood hustlers.
- T8erT0T, on 06/27/2008, -3/+33Billy Murray gets points for calling Lucy Liu out. "Gunga-la-gunga."
- darkchild82, on 06/26/2008, -1/+27Stifler's gay ?
- dleesgeetar, on 06/26/2008, -1/+26"Stiller actually admitted to being an *****"
LOVE IT - CptCancer, on 06/27/2008, -2/+12By saying that Aliens was all about the cash, you're undermining its greatness. How dare you speak ill of the movie that gave us the line, "game over man, game over."
- ShaggyRogers, on 06/27/2008, -0/+10"Geffen is an eccentric homosexual who lives in an LA compound often referred to in Hollywood as Gay Mafia Xanadu."
At first I chuckled at the phrase "eccentric homosexual," then I went "wtf?" as I finished the sentence. - Mootabolife, on 06/27/2008, -0/+9Maybe even a gay prostitute of sorts.
- MercFox1, on 06/27/2008, -0/+9James Caan is a badass. Nothing more to be said.
- kevro, on 06/27/2008, -0/+7No, Hollywood is that ridiculous.
- Apocalyptic0n3, on 06/27/2008, -0/+6Holy *****... it's not from Cracked. Amazing.
- inactive, on 06/27/2008, -1/+7if it was heard on a Hollywood back lot, it's gotta be true
- SVOboy, on 06/26/2008, -3/+8Seriously interestingly serious stuff.
- elister, on 06/27/2008, -4/+9Uhhh James Cameron got Aliens greenlit because he was MARRIED to the producer Gale Ann Hurd. They were married in 1985. I dont know if he really walked into a room and wrote ALIENS on a chalkboard, had he not been married to an Executive Producer, theres no way in hell they would have given him the greenlight.
Cameron also sold the rights to Terminator to his (to be wife at the time) on the condition that he direct. Sold it cheap, had to buy it back for millions in order to make T2. - joessandwich, on 06/27/2008, -0/+5Trust me, Hollywood really is that ridiculous.
- newms32, on 06/27/2008, -0/+5Yeah, it's much more life-enriching to read articles about ten ways that Linux is misunderstood.
- bipolarruledout, on 06/27/2008, -3/+7Did I say two fingers?....better make it three.....
- pwr4, on 06/27/2008, -0/+4This is not a one-time story, but rather a pattern with Hollywood parties I heard from an older woman I dated who tried to be an actress and didn't quite make it. I can't vouch for her story, but I would believe her, since she was in her mid 40's and still quite attractive, and she is in IMDB and I've found her connected to other celebrities on the internet.
Hollywood parties start off with all of the big names, doesn't matter if you're in front of the camera or behind. The first phase of the party, the A-list actresses are in attendance. Then, they leave as the B grade actresses arrive. Finally, the B-list actresses leave, and the wannabe startets or "actor groupies" show up so the men can find someone to *****. - ZenMojo, on 06/27/2008, -0/+3Actually, that was two hours into the half-day Starbucks took for mandatory retraining.
- blackhappy, on 06/27/2008, -1/+4Diggers do have a strange fascination for that prepubescent magazine.
- Jasper710, on 06/26/2008, -3/+6Alien$ 3?
- kevro, on 06/27/2008, -0/+3well he did drink the man chowder in American pie one.
- mecharabbit, on 06/27/2008, -0/+3I can handle that truth.
- PPGBM, on 06/27/2008, -4/+7I don't know how one could survive without this juicy information on Hollywood's celebs
/sarcasm - bipolarruledout, on 06/27/2008, -1/+3Never really like this guy for some reason.... and I don't think he has much talent but thats beside the point.
- lowfalls, on 06/27/2008, -2/+4No Artie Lange getting fired and arrested on the set of MAD TV? Huh.
- joessandwich, on 06/27/2008, -0/+2News flash- it's not the Executive Producers who greenlight it. The studio and distributor need to approve, so thats who make the decision.
- trestevenson, on 06/27/2008, -0/+2I can't! That mental image is baaaad!
- warplayer, on 06/27/2008, -0/+2I wish there was a way to superbury you elister. Not for the point you are making, just the snobby way you deliver it.
And the terrible attempt at an underpants gnome reference. - HMMcKamikaze, on 06/27/2008, -0/+2I'll trust you because you have "sandwich" in your name.
- pandikukka, on 06/27/2008, -0/+1this article = eye opener
- joessandwich, on 06/27/2008, -0/+1No, that was the big fire by Griffith Park in March of '07. It didn't damage any building fortunately, but that entire hillside was burned. I remember it vividly, I was on the other side of the hill and had a direct view. Smoke was going through our air conditioning.
- toecutter169, on 06/27/2008, -0/+1Artie Lang is not as big a name as Cameron, Nicholson, Caan, Stiller...even Stifler.
- Kidddrunkadelic, on 06/27/2008, -0/+1Was that the pig costume story?
- Ex3poo, on 06/27/2008, -0/+1Isn't the first picture showing the L.A Riots?
- Shivetya, on 06/27/2008, -0/+1explains why she basically fell off the world... what has she done lately?
- Rapter09, on 06/28/2008, -0/+1Artie Lang is a waste of flesh. The guy is a screwup that doesn't deserve any amount of fame, however minuscule.
- thomleidner, on 06/27/2008, -0/+1Having worked in Hollywood for many years, these stories are tame and/or tamed versions of the truth. It's ALOT weirder out there.
btw - I've worked on Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and did a couple of days as a favor on whatever that Paris Hilton/National Lampoon sorority ***** was. People are ***** up. - TheXuu, on 06/27/2008, -2/+2mirror?
- SolidBones, on 06/27/2008, -0/+0I think Kung Fu Panda is basically it.
- shauntacular, on 06/27/2008, -0/+0The munchkin stories from the Wizard of Oz are still the best.
- SolidBones, on 06/27/2008, -0/+0Every time I read the word "Babies" in that context, capitalized and all, I cringed a little. That is all kinds of creepy.
- ryanbrlw, on 06/27/2008, -0/+0I like James Cameron, but I don't find this very impressive. It shouldn't be that hard to get 18 million for a sequel to Alien. Alien grossed 79 million dollars (excluding foreign and re release). With a production budget of 11 million, that's a profit of 68 million dollars. Studios are pumping out sequels for movies that made a lot less than that.
- zombies187, on 06/27/2008, -1/+1Points for "Gunga-la-gunga."
- Snoosy, on 06/27/2008, -2/+2Digg broke the internet.
- BrinkDVD, on 06/27/2008, -1/+0You'll find all kinds of crazy Hollywood stories on www.brink.com. There's a film coming out that's pretty much a compilation of all kinds of crazy behind the scenes stuff we shot during productions. Funny stuff of John Leguzamo while o the set of Spun.
- regression, on 06/27/2008, -3/+2Six things I know that I didn't know...and I still don't care.
- ZenMojo, on 06/27/2008, -4/+3“'Marc Rich getting pardoned? An oil-profiteer expatriate who left the country rather than pay taxes or face justice?' Mr. Geffen says. 'Yet another time when the Clintons were unwilling to stand for the things that they genuinely believe in. Everybody in politics lies, but they do it with such ease, it’s troubling.'”
--David Geffen
http://select.nytimes.com/2007/02/21/opinion/21dow ... - TheVigilante, on 06/27/2008, -4/+1I'm pretty sure that most of that is made up or heavily embellished. Hollywood is ridiculous but not THAT ridiculous.
