3. STFU about Ben Kingsley! |

Ben Kingsley will garrote you with his used dental floss!

4. And I'll neutralize him with two simple questions: |
|
1. Species. WTF, Ben?
2. A Sound of Thunder. Hello? What were you saying, Ben?

Don't you bad mouth Species. Ben Kingsley was the third best thing in that movie!

10. You should rent "Life Force". I believe Ben Kingsley is in that one, somewhere. |

Did not miss Mathilda May, though.

21. Oh my god. Was he in that? |
|
I actually saw that and blotted it from my mind. Aside from Michael Madsen once again playing Mr. Blond, I remember nothing of that film.
Shame on you, Sir Ben. Shame!

6. It's hurtful when you say things like that |

Maybe if he just got to know me.

13. That's SIR Ben to you, peasant......... |
|
I was a co-writer on an HBO movie script, and spent some time on the set since the director is a friend of mine.
One of the things that consistently broke us up was his unfailing correction of anyone who addressed him as "Mr. Kingsley" or, worse, "Ben."
He also went out of his way to introduce his young, young, young, very beautiful, very dumb wife as "Lady Kingsley."
Sir Ben and Lady Kingsley broke up not very long after that, as I recall.

14. You need to go on the thread in GD which states: The Novel is Dead. |
|
You screenwriters have more interesting anecdotes than we historians.

15. Ah, but the characters |
|
we work with are sort of alive. Not necessarily sentient, but breathing.
You folks deal with the dead, which, I must admit, I sometimes envy.
On the other hand, I was once on the set of "Miami Vice," (remember that show?), watching a script I'd worked on being filmed. It was one in which my writing partner and I were cuter than hell with the character names, dropping in loathed ex-husbands and naming one after a raging lunatic of a poodle owned by a mutual friend. Of course, we had to name the hooker who got beaten to death by her pimp after me.
So, I'm standing there, watching the scene with one of the producers, and I said, "Look at that - I've gone from being a white lawyer to being a black prostitute."
To which the producer said, "Good career move."

16. We actually get "Miami Vice" episodes on one of our myriad channels. |
|
I'll watch for that one! I do write some semi-autobiographical fiction and go on tiptoe with the names since the cast of characters are mostly still in the building.

22. What the hell happened to that thread? |
|
I went to click on my post in that thread to see the reply to it, and it said the thread was missing. I can't imagine how a flame war broke out on THAT thread so intense they had to delete the whole thing!?

He is a fine actor, but I can't stand a pompous asshole.
