Have these pictures been posted before?

Oh, hey, that's my 'Theatre Buddy', Bill*, that took those. (His website, there, is the preeminent History-of-L.A.-Theater site.) I'm surprised I'm not in some of those shots. I was all over that location that day...

[edit] Bill just told me that page has been up since a couple of days after that shoot. I had no idea. I was probably too immersed in Soggy World to check... I (we) had such a blast that night...

* (For those of you keeping track, Bill was the other guy with me in that doorway for 3 days on Hollywood Blvd during OUATIH.)

How tall would you say he is in person?

wilberfan · May 13, 2021, 08:56:30 PM

Can we estimate from that photo of him with Bradley (in front of the Post Office)? Bradley is, like, 6'1"-ish, I think.

5'10" - 5'11"?

I think Coops was in some bomb-ass platforms in those pics.

wilberfan · May 13, 2021, 09:07:30 PM

Heels, yes.

So the short answer is, Paul is "tall".

Is it Mike Bauman, on the right?

pynchonikon · May 14, 2021, 04:44:28 AM

Yes it's Bauman (gaffer in IV and lighting technician in Master/PT), and him taking the DoP credit is a well grounded deduction.

He was credited as DoP on imdb at some point during filming, yet his name was mysteriously removed after a short time (just like the Sean Penn stunt double).

nomorecoffee · May 14, 2021, 08:19:07 AM

Well on IMDb as of now Mike Bauman is not even credited in the film... Justin Dickson is listed as gaffer.
Maybe he will be revealed as the DoP later on?

Might be an Amazon release after all

Interesting. I wonder if Amazon would treat a "prestige" project like Soggy Bottom differently than, say, Netflix? (Thinking of how the latter handled The Irishman--limited release in theaters, etc.)

Heisenberg · May 18, 2021, 01:40:56 AM

I could see Amazon wanting to do 45 day theatrical windows like other studios are said to start doing.

pynchonikon · May 18, 2021, 02:04:15 AM

Amazon's two major awards contenders (Sound of Metal & One Night in Miami) both had similar distribution plan (festival run --> theatrical release --> streaming shortly after) last year, so I don't see Soggy Bottom receiving vastly different treatment in that case.
