No, the first one. It's after Draven kills T-Bird by driving his car off the pier and uses the gasoline to make the crow image.

oh yeah he also seems to get confused while he is explaining something sometimes and he starts talking in this happy voice.

For a good laugh... Go check out my brother in Crow Salvation. Cinema at it's finest. The only time he claims that flick is when he cashes the residual checks.

*Laugh Out Loud* He got some of my money then because I bought the box set. What part is he in?

He is Tommy Leanard... The witness who lied and sent the crow to the chair.

I was on set for the filming of that flick... We could all tell while it was filming that it was going to be a huge success.

Shit, you've gotta tell about that! I want more stories!

I've always wondered about the set on those types of movies. Like is everybody in on the fact that it's a quick cash grab? How does the director get up and face himself every morning? Or does he just not give a shit?

Crow Salvation actually thought it was going to be a good movie. That's what made it so funny. But as we would watch the filming of the scenes it was pretty obvious. I think they seriously expected a nice theatrical release up until the production company rightfully burried it straight to video. Then they started selling it in the 3 CD set so that they could actually sell a few copies.

The funniest was when I was on set for Substitute 3. (The same brother plays the heavy in that movie) It was hilarious because the production crew was like, "We feel like we have to make a good movie to redeem the fact that substitute 2 was so bad". Hilarious! I remember one of the actors practicing with a sword for his scene. He was like " I just really want it to look real". And I was like, "Relax.. it's the fucking substitute 3 dude...".

But the best part was pissing off the wannabe baddass AD's when we would duck out with Richard Portnov (Who plays my brothers dad) to smoke some green. That guy is a fucking riot.

Yeah, but pity the poor AD. His is a thankless job, and he's the first to get canned during a shit-storm.


But okay, more stories!!! Classic!

I got nothing but love for the AD's. It's the ones who throw attitude like they are somebody to be reckond with. It's like those guys who become cops just so so they can fuck with people on a daily basis.

You know the type.

No more stories for now... The Utes are playin Cal state on ESPN tonight and my front row seats are in dire need of some ass. Watch for me and my hot ass asian wife.

Peace out,
D

Back to the topic, PTA likes to say "Ham and Cheese" e.g. "John Reilly is Ham AND Cheese!"  And I'm thinking also "Fresh buttered toast" though I don't know if I've actually ever heard him say it.  I can't remember his others.
