Linda Cardellini is an absolute master actress. A total chameleon. Is there any role this woman can’t play?
Genius, she almost got me!
I’m at the supermarket, listening to Dave talk about the guy watching Blind Mike piss. He reads the text & I’m standing still, at my cart.
My arms are covered in goosebumps & my eyes are streaming with tears of laughter. In this moment I know 2 things…
My old boss in LA, Carl Mazzocone was the producer. He was producing his first film & Kim screwed over the whole production. Carl had 2 films to choose from. He poorly chose Boxing Helena. The film he passed on went to his nemesis Harvey Weinstein. He passed on Reservoir Dogs.
Kim Basinger went bankrupt over a film she never made and a contract she never signed. In 1993 a Los Angeles jury ordered her to pay $8.92 million, more than everything she owned.
In 1989 she was Vicki Vale in Batman. That year a group she led agreed to pay $20 million for most of Braselton, a small Georgia town near where she grew up. In 1991 she rode in with ABC's Chris Wallace and said: "This is peace to me. This is life."
In January 1991 she agreed to star in Boxing Helena, the first film by David Lynch's daughter. A full contract was drafted, and nobody signed it. In June, after her new agency read the script, she pulled out.
The producers sued, saying her spoken yes was a binding deal. In March 1993 the jury agreed. Two months later she filed for bankruptcy. The town her group bought as a dream became an asset in it. Two years earlier, she had called it peace.
In 1994 an appeals court threw out the verdict, and she settled for $3.8 million. The town was later sold for a fraction of the price. In 1998 she won the Oscar for L.A. Confidential.
In numbers.
Independent films borrow against sales made before shooting. Her name was the collateral.
Sales the producers said they lost when she left: more than $6 million.
What the jury ordered her to pay: $8.92 million.
Everything she owned at the time: $5.39 million.
Selling all of it would still leave her $3.53 million short.
The settlement: $3.8 million, about 70% of everything she owned.
The star said yes and never signed. The producers borrowed millions against that yes. The jury ordered her to pay more than she owned.
Side note: Fried Bologna is an all time sensational, childhood sandwich. Just hearing its name has lit a fire in my taste buds. I may have to have one.
Is the trend also linked to never having done a pushup in this guys life.
Jesus Christ, throw a towel over this guy. Pathetic.
He’s got the atrophic body of a young Andy Mayo.
What a fucking show.
There’s nothing like it.
Nothing.
Mat finally loosened up once he let the cat out of the bag.
By the end, he was a solid B.
It seemed like the Whitney first half was a show from a different day.
Insane entertainment.

I valeted at Ultimate Parking. I was working The Palm & was outside talking with Robert Kraft.
I said he needed to draft a Wide Receiver. I suggested Terry Glenn.
Kraft said: “Coach wants defense.”
I said “Montana had Rice. Bledsoe needs Terry Glenn.”
Kraft nodded. True story.

Abdul asks why it’s different for him as a Muslim & compares himself to Catholic President, JFK.
The difference is the inflexibility & intolerance of Islam. Muslims take power & will try to implement Sharia Law.
A Muslim is “legallly” killed for leaving their extremist religion.
When I was a kid, there were so many Polish jokes. All about how stupid the Polish were.
“Do you know why there is no ice in Poland?”
“They forgot the recipe.”
Haha, Jokes on us. They seem like one of the smartest countries in the world.

On the Lunch portion of
Deep Dive with Kirk Minihane, Kirk mentioned a corn muffin. It sure had been a while.
I just had to indulge.
A magnificent flavor journey back to my childhood of sitting with my grandfather at Donut Barn in Warren, eating Corn Muffins and a coffee milk.
End of Deep Dive today reminded me of the end of Cast Away. Kirk calls several places & then finally connects with a small boutique & has a serendipitous conversation with a lovely woman.
Barstool doesn’t re-sign Kirk, he quits KMS, drives off in his truck & ends up in Danbury.
Today’s @kirkminshow was an anxiety rollercoaster but I will say this, Bobby Costa has a nice even keel to him. He
Has the potential to be a steadying hand, in what is positively a raging sea.
The negative, is he and Dave might be too handsome together but I can live with that.
People forget that Belinda Carlisle got in trouble for coercing roadies/stage hands to pleasure her sexually.
Some called it Rock n Roll, others called it sexual assault.
Apparently her lips were not sealed. 🤷♂️
