Title: PTA cameo?
Post by: oakmanc234 on July 30, 2003, 06:14:18 AM
Does any one else hope that PTA does a cameo of some sort in any of his future projects? It would be pretty cool seeing the guy himself in one of his masterpieces.

I would have loved to see him play one of the brothers in PDL! Anyways, who knows... he can be like M. Night Shamalongadingdong and play minor characters that people remember for being too akward or being totally wrong for the part.

It would be a novelty, but he doesn't seem like the actor type.  Maybe he has it in him, who knows?  But it might detract from the picture, kind of like with Hitchcock, in that people would be waiting for the director to appear and stop paying attention to the actual film itself.

It would be interesting if PTA did do a cameo. But I can also understand why he wouldn't. He may feel that it will take us out of the story or distract us a bit.

Bah, I thought Night was great in Signs.  I forget exactly what he says, but right before he drives away from his house, "Oh, I locked one in the pantry."  I seriously loved that.

Has PTA ever said anything so cool?  Never!  Stupid PTA.

Actually, I think PTA loves his actor buddies too much to write something and not let them do it.  Would PTA give himself great lines?  Or bad lines?  Why the hell would he give himself bad lines?  Case closed.

that was a really great post except for when you cracked the case that part could've been better it could've been more of a twist. also it wasn't a very cool quote that you quoted but other than that it was A okay.!

Thanks
