Hey-- I posted to you a while back, but you weren't around the board at the time, so I'm reposting it now. Some of this might be old and weird and out of date, 'cause this is, like, Vulgarthon-era. And I don't want to go through and change it all, 'cause by the time I finish, you'll be gone, and then I'll cry and cry and cry.
1) Thanks again for all of the Vulgarthonian goodness last week (well, it was last week when I wrote this). I was the guy who asked you to sign a book for my friend Edie who couldn't make it; thanks again, 'cause when I told her who had signed it, you elicited the most high-pitched girlish squeals of anyone. "JASON LEE SIGNED MY BOOK!!!!" I was also the guy who told you that you were inspirational 'cause I'm a fellow aspiring actor and a fellow high-school dropout, so you've made it where I'm trying to make it.
2) What were your impressions of Fairuza Balk? She's my favourite actor, and you're way up there, so when I first heard about Untitled Cameron Crowe Project, I got excited about the prospect of seeing you two together. So, what was she like?
3) How did you and Carmen meet? Was it love at first sight? You two make such a cute couple.
4) I heard that when the title for ALMOST FAMOUS / STILLWATER / THE UNCOOL / UNTITLED was up for grabs, Cameron Crowe actually had a suggestion box, so the cast and crew could suggest titles. Did you make any suggestions? If so, can you tell us what they were?
5) You have the same birthday as my mother. Just thought I'd say so.
6) I like Guinness. Just thought I'd say that, too.
7) What do you think about the seeming imminence of an all-out SAG strike? The current advertising strike doesn't affect a film guy like yourself, but if SAG goes through with its threat to completely strike, that'll affect you hardcore.
8) What do you think of the stuff Radiohead did before OK COMPUTER? I'm thinking of their earlier singles, like "Creep", "Fake Plastic Trees", "Just", and "High And Dry". That stuff's definitely very different from the more recent work.
9) Have you ever heard the band Public Image, Ltd.? If so, what do you think of them? I haven't heard KID A yet, but I saw Radiohead play a couple of tunes from it on SNL, and they reminded me of early PiL.
10) Good luck with the shooting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for replying, and for reading, and for being a good actor, and for bringing about world peace, and for finding the buried treasure, and for baking cookies for my mom, and for helping elderly ladies cross the street, and for everything else. Bye!
