A funny little thing I noticed.


When they film the "GOTCHA SUCKAS!" scene, it is done in the studio with real producers, and when you see it on the big screen it is so well lit with a crane and lighting effects, I always found this hillarious because it didn't even fit with chubby rain at ALL, Chubby rain was poorly lit, handheld crap. Nice little touch Oz added there.

A Wooowooo! Budrows commin for ya!

Yeah, it almost implies that... in an oddly familiar way, if a star like Kit is going to be blackmailed into doing a scene, his people will probably still insist that he look good doing it (and potentially put up the expense...).

It reminds me of when DNA had remixed Suzanne Vega's lyrical track (which originally had no music behind it) into the now famous "Tom's Diner".

The story goes that they did so without EMI's permission... and when EMI found out how insanely popular the song had become in Europe, instead of suing them, they paid DNA a few thousand to go into the studio and professionally re-cut the song... EMI later released it and it went on to become Suzanne Vega's biggest hit.

Nature abhors a moron.
