When Jayne met Viper.....
So SIFF is in full swing, and so far I've been pretty lucky and most of what I've seen has been pretty good....
Saturday, after having been up 35 hours straight (more on that later), I found myself doing a double feature @ the egyptian for a film called "Expiration Date" & the FANTASTIC documentary "This Film Is Not Yet Rated".
In between the two films, I'm outside and there's Dallas himself...Tom f'n Skerrit. My friend Jason and I both see him & at the same time. Do we talk to him? What do we say?
"What was it like making out with Drew Barrymore in Poison Ivy?"
"I loved you in Singles!"
"Steel Magnolias: WTF?!?!?"
"I wish I didn't mean this, but Space Camp was the bomb!"
"Dude...you were in the Sci-Fi original movie Mammoth with Summer Glau. Summer Glau also played River in Serenity. That means your only like 2 degrees away from Joss Whedon. Can I touch you?"
Finally, we secure a camera and head on over:
"Mr. Skerrit, would you mind if I got a picture?"
"No, not at all."
>click<
"Thank you"
"Your welcome. Did you enjoy the film?"
"It was pretty good. Thanks again, I've always wanted my picture with Viper."
>walking away<
"Crap! I forgot to ask about Poison Ivy!"

what you should of said was this: Mr. Skerrit, if you can't find someone to see the second film...give me a call...I'll see the film with you, you've earned enough points to see the second film
I totally forgot he was in the Film version of MASH as well as Cheech & Chong's Up In Smoke...
Skerrit is crazy. Jenny (my wife) worked with him at YouthCare (he supports the non-profit) & she has some stories. I met him last year and did drop the line, "Tom, I loved you in Poison Ivy." Skerrit replied, "Thanks, nice to meet you."
That, and Jenny said he always would show up at meetings (he was the celebrity speaker at one benefit luncheon) in sweats.
I would think 2.0 would give props to a guy sportin' sweats...is it only basketball rip-aways that get points in your book?
The sweats was looked down upon from my better half... I do give the man props. Jenny has said he's crazy and hard to work with (huge ego & a little looney).
huge ego & a little looney. Joe! He's you!!!
Your are Excellent. And so is your site! Keep up the good work. Bookmarked.
