I just watched "Remembering Gene Wilder" on Netflix. It sucks watching all these greats go away.

“Don’t Look Now” is probably my favorite film of his.

Teaching is just a way to pay the bills until I finish my novel.

How long you been working on it?

Four and a half years.

It must be very good.

It's a piece of shite. Would anyone like to smoke some pot?

I’ll always remember this when I think of Sutherland.

quote:

In the end, for playing professor Dave Jennings, Sutherland netted $35,000 in total for his contributions to the movie. Unfortunately for him, he missed out on one of the most lucrative paydays of his career when Animal House went on to earn more than $130million from Stateside cinemas alone

. “I don’t remember the numbers involved,” Landis explained. “But had he taken a profit position, he’d have made at least $20million.” That’s not quite how Sutherland remembers it, but either way, he’d have been laughing all the way to the bank had he shown some patience instead of insisting that he get all of his money upfront.

By his calculations, Sutherland would have pocketed $14 million by the time Animal House exited multiplexes nationwide, so it doesn’t really matter which one of the two crunches the numbers. The end result remains the same. At the very least, the actor would have made 400 times more had he displayed a little faith in Animal House to succeed.

Maybe he should have been a little more like Bill Hader in Superbad

quote:

While on Saturday Night Live in the early aughts, honing impressions and giving life to characters like underground-club-king Stephon and talk show host Vinnie Vedecci, Hader was quietly crafting a film career. He didn’t care if he owned a scene — he just wanted to be part of “something good.” So when he read the part of a ludicrous-but-loveable cop in an upcoming Judd Apatow flick called Superbad, which became Hader’s big-screen breakout moment, he jumped, passing on a bigger part in a projected blockbuster with an underwhelming script. “I got a very snarky email from this agent that said, ‘Let me get this straight: instead of being with this big actor in a lead role for this big amount of money, you want to be with the kid who plays George Michael on Arrested Development for that amount of money — and you’re playing Cop Number Two?’” explains Hader, now 41. “I didn’t respond because, well, it was rude.”

Instead, he waited patiently for months for both movies to hit theatres in 2007. “When Superbad was a massive hit and the other wasn’t, I found the email and I just responded, ‘yes.’”

It really. ??

I just always find it funny when people second guess others decisions and try to shame them for it. Just make the best informed decision you can and roll with it. But the $35,000 vs 20 million payout is pretty extreme.
