Quote of the Day

.
Here's Michael Fassbender talking about how his A Dangerous Method co-star Viggo Mortensen - and just look at those two in that pic from last night's London premiere! My god, it's love - helped him out with his performance as the lustful Karl Jung:
"Spanking, always up for a bit of spanking, and I got some lessons from (Viggo)... the motion, I wasn't following through, like a tennis stroke. You've always got to be ambidextrous - that's what (he) said to me at the time, I remember."
Michael Fassbender has learned the art of the soundbite, that's for sure.

So This Is A Conversation That Happened

.

This is amazing. Via an interview 
with David Cronenberg over at The Playlist:

When Ivan Reitman was planning a movie called "Twins," he called up his longtime friend and former compatriot. The conversation went something like this, according to Cronenberg:
Ivan: "I hear you're making a movie called 'Twins.'"
David: "Yeah, it's about these twin gynecologists."
Ivan: "I want to make a movie called 'Twins' as well."
David: "Oh, really?"
Ivan: "Yeah, and I need the title more than you do. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Danny DeVito, twins. That's the sell."
David: "I can see that."
Ivan: "So we can't both have movies called 'Twins.'"
David: "OK. How much?"
Reitman ended up paying Cronenberg for the use of the title, and Cronenberg changed the title of his 1988 film to "Dead Ringers," which was now financed by "Twins" money. "And they both did OK, on their own levels," Cronenberg chuckled.
.
I'd love to theorize a mash-up of the two movies in words but my memories of the Schwarzenegger movie are so blurry - I haven't seen it since I was a kid, although I'm sure I saw it several times since I recall my mother loving it - I can't really think up any good gags. Except for the part where Jeremy Irons investigates Danny Devito's sensitive parts with an oblong razor-toothed speculum of sorts, of course. That's a given. (That's always a given.)
