People are so mean to Mormons these days

These are the latest pics of Brad Pitt on the set of Burn After Reading.  One can conclude that the movie is about Mr. Pitt riding a bike and bleeding.  Oh, and also:

In the film, John Malkovich play Ozzie Coxs, a former CIA agent whose soon-to-be ex-wife (Frances McDormand) steals a disc containing his memoirs and accidentally leaves it at the gym where it is found by a trainer (Pitt) who believes he can use the info to blackmail Cox. George Clooney will play an assassin hired by the CIA to take care of the situation. Tilda Swinton also costars.

It’s nice to see Clooney and Pitt together, even though it makes me question my sexuality.  (Hey, sexuality, what’s the square root of 527?  C’mon, answer me, fag!).  And John Malkovich is a great Hollywood weirdo in the Marlon Brando tradition.  Fun video and story from Being John Malkovich, after the jump.   

This is a YouTube clip with some of the Being John Malkovich commentary. The clip description says director commentary, though the voice doesn’t sound to me like Spike Jonze – anyone own this DVD that can confirm?  Anyway, the commentary, in case you don’t want to watch the clip, is:

The scene comin up where the guy throws the can and says ‘Hey Malkovich, think fast!’.  That was not in our script at all.  We had had some extras that had snuck some beer on set, and they had gotten pretty lit… And he throws the can at Malkovich and has the famous line, ‘Hey Malkovich, think fast!’ and he now has his SAG card because of it, and we had to bump his pay from about $100 a day to $700 a day, and he has Mr. Malkovich’s reaction to thank for that.

As I’ve always said, drinking on the job makes everything you do better.  Also, the best way to gain the respect of a celebrity is to throw something at his head.  That’s how I met Benicio Del Toro.
