Title: "Food" or "Good"
Post by: jerrycliff on October 21, 2003, 06:14:52 AM
Do you think PTA made a typo when Barry says "I'm very food"? But it was a typo that he found funny and left in...
I only say it because the F and the G are next to each other on the keyboard.

Good point with the keys, sir, but I have it on good authority that Barry meant to say "I'm very hood."

PTA never makes a mistake... he is very detail oriented when it comes to his scripts and shots.

I guess 'bussiness' is spelled like that on purpose in his scripts then.  :yabbse-undecided:

Ok, so he can't spell... but he will damn sure get the word right (the meaning, i mean...), especially when shooting...

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if the typo thing is right.  All of PT's scripts are full of them.

how can he make a mistake when it knows the footage frame by frame and has a script supervisor.?

don't you think someone has to be really stupid to read food where clearly doesn't belong, and not notice that? If you read that, wouldn't you ask the man: is this a typo or...?

i meant he might have made a typo when he was first writing the script....saw it that moment....found it funny....and left it in....

i'm not saying he made a mistake that he didnt notice, i'm saying he may have made a mistake that he liked

thus the mistake would have altered the next lines of dialogue

If he were any other director, I would think that maybe Adam Sandler came up with the line on the spot, but PTA doesn't allow lots of flexibility with his lines like some other actors might.

this reminds me of magnolia.. when robert downey sr. is calming down the audience after Jimmy's fall.. he says:

"...that's great, i mean you know, you know that that that-- that to a performer thats food right? so that shows that you love him and im sure he appreciates it..."


What the fuck is he talking about?
