i watched the kid stays in the picture last night at novel designs hq. despite/due to the self-serving and garish nature of the film (it is narrated by evans himself) it is a wildly entertaining "documentary" that provides an informative look at hollywood over the last few decades. this clip played before the first internal screening of love story just weeks before it "exploded" (as evans puts it) at the us box office. seamless editing techniques are on display. one time i want to go to a film and instead of previews i want a studio exec to appear on screen and just speak to the camera about the upcoming hits....

My old boss, an acquitted murderer and longterm house guest of Bob's and therefore a trustworthy source of the following tidbit, claims that the makeup Bob now wears on a daily basis is the same kind that morticians use to spruce up the dead.
This clip predates the start of painting himself like a goblin and so it's nice to see Bob the way he likely sees himself. Wouldn't that be a nice parlor trick, to see the rest of the world the way the rest of the world sees itself? Other commenters, what do you think that might be like?
Fondly,
Benjy
