end of the movie



i saw pauly shore, and his new movie, live.
The movie is decent and good for more than a few good chuckles (mostly because of cameos). It physically looks like fucking shit, he really hired someone who didn't know what they were doing with an HDcam.
But to get to what I would like to talk about....how delusional Pauly Shore is about himself. Not that it really matters whether he is or not, because he has a one in a million shot of making a comeback, dont worry. But its sad how he is almost sure that he will. There is a lot of humor that he could find if he was willing to self deprecate, but he refuses, and he comes off as a sad case for a human being. You can see how distraught he is, how "tough" its been for this guy, and how defensive he is when people make fun of him, which is all i wanted to do, when, as i was leaving the theater, nearly physically bumped into him, and didn't care really.
My how he must wrap himself in his friends/other celebrities bullshit about his chances of "being somebody" again. Which...maybe this is how everyone in hollywood is...constantly sucking up to eachother, thinking that no matter how low someone is, they might be able to help me out at some point. hopefully its not to this sad extent, but its weird and creates a malaise for me. ive heard actors suck, but this was a real concrete example for me.
this whole experience made me appreciate Team America even moreso.

Personally I dont want to "be" in hollywood....i want to go to LA and work on a few films at some point, get certified in the craft, get a little know to the a few people, and then comeback to austin or maybe try new york then come back to austin....or houston....but hopefully in the next five years, austin could support a film career....that'd be nice and dreamy.

i think pauly shore wipes from the front..........but atleast he wipes sitting down.


SAW TOMORROW!
