humpbacked geeks?

Keep digging, Billy Bob, I'm sure you'll find the bottom eventually.

Step 1: Use move stardom to get your music career off the ground.
Step 2: Complain if anyone mentions your movie stardom.
Step 3:?
Step4: Go back to movies, forget music.

See: Willis, Bruce.

Notice how this time he pleasantly answers some of the EXACT same question the radio guy did? What an asshole...

He did something that made the news? When? What the hell is he talking about?

/dnrtfa

Yeah he's a dick, but I'm still watching Bad Santa every Christmas.

I'm waiting for the "He may be an asshole but he got his dick inside Angelina Jolie and that makes him better than you and me" crowd to show up.

It sounds like he went for a radio spoon feeding and an interview broke out.

I want to talk about my music not my acting, oh by the way if you veer from this script I will pitch a hissy fit.

Ever notice how musicians make much better actors usually than actors make trying to be musicians? Jack Black is about the only one I could name that wasn't a total embarrassment to himself, and he had a comedy angle to it e.g. wasn't based on only singing talent.

Hundreds of musicians can act but hardly any actors can sing.

I think being a dick in interviews is universal regardless of the talent though.

If he didn't want moronic questions in direct conflict with his expressed desires, he shouldn't have been talking to anyone in the media to begin with.

And this was before she ruined her pussy by having kids.

After seeing that interview he did with Jian Ghomeshi I really thought after the first couple of responses Jian should have just forgot that Billy Bob was there and just talk to the rest of the band members for the rest of the interview.

/Billy needs to lay off the acid

FTFY. They've got 2 tour buses and an 18 wheeler full of gear. Their truck driver told me they were spending anywhere between $20k and $40k a month on diesel fuel alone. I never heard the original radio rant, but in his defense, the band is phenomenal, the show is engaging, and Billy's genuinely a nice guy. I watched him stay until closing time signing autographs and taking pictures with every audience member that stayed after the show.

"It gave humpbacked geeks all over the world something to do"

Like masturbate to pictures of your ex-wife?

Saying moronic things in public tends to get people talking. Hope this helps, Billy Bob.

To be fair, the fact that we both crank it to Angelina is the only thing I'll ever have in common with Billy Bob Thornton.

Well if you hear the original interview, you will discover that BBT is a asshole of epic proportions.

For me, him screwing with Jian Ghomeshi was worth it. They guy is douche of the first order. Jian is a predatory asshat, and a pretentious fop to boot.

He got booted from my club, and I promised him quite personally that I'd kick him in the jimmy next time I saw him.

Jian Ghomeshi is a dirt bag, and anyone who farks with him is OK in my book.

Jack Black is a musician/actor from the start.

Yeeeah... I don't know him now, but when I was in junior high school, he was "dating"(seeing?) a girl that was a few years older than me. He was already in his 20s. He seemed like a dirt bag.

Also, he used to come to my Mennonite Church youth group parties with that girl. Weird.

Because People in power are Stupid: And this was before she ruined her pussy by having kids.

That's a myth, fyi

... then he ran like a b*tch for the border before some Canadian decided to bring scalding hot gravy to his concert.

/Keep going BB

Because People in power are Stupid: And this was before she ruined her pussy by having kids.

ha, awful!

Also, Billy Bob kinda seems like a dick.

DslainteC: I'm waiting for the "He may be an asshole but he got his dick inside Angelina Jolie and that makes him better than you and me" crowd to show up.

Well I do consider that a fair measure of the worth of a person. What you would use another set of criteria like intelligence to rank people? Weak...

I love how celebrities do something stupid like BBT did and then act "amazed" or "shocked" that anyone heard about it.

Are they retarded?

/obviously he loved the publicity it got...he was being a total d-bag to that guy and the host tried to handle it as well as possible.
//host might be a d-bag too, not familiar with him

Not all geeks have humpbacks. Not all humpbacks are geeks.

He didn't blow up on that radio guy, he showed him his ass. Was he being a prick? Yeah. Was he out of line to get pissed? Maybe. He did specifically ask them not to mention his acting career, and if they weren't ok with that I'm sure he could've found another radio show to go on that was. They said they wouldn't, then did, he showed them his ass, and didn't even start yelling or throwing shiat.

He's right, this isn't news at all. Thank god he's never heard of fark.

Seriously, all kinds of this. Thornton or his people and the radio station agreed to not mention the acting career...the host was a cock before BBT turned it on. So, why is he the bad guy. Almost every one of you would be irritated if you agreed with someone to do something some way and then they went and did the exact opposite of what you had agreed on. So get over yourselves and stop acting like he was the bad guy.

hubiestubert: Jian is a predatory asshat, and a pretentious fop to boot.

He was also the King of Spain.

/but now he vacuums the turf at Sky Dome.

Jian Ghomeshi is a wentz.

In response to this, Canada has lined all of it's border crossings and airports with antique furniture, stage curtains, and signs of what ever number corresponds with the current age of one of his daughters.

Stay home, Billy-boob, eh?

Uzzah: hubiestubert: Jian is a predatory asshat, and a pretentious fop to boot.

What the King of Spain might look like (new window)

Not a rick roll, a hilarious and short comedy sketch from the brilliant British show Man Stroke Woman

Part of the transcript, with what I wish the interviewer had said:

JG: Right, but being as you seem to be so passionate about music, I was wondering about your ...
BB: (interrupts) Would you say that to Tom Petty?
JG: Would I say that he's passionate about music?
BB: Yeah.
JG: Yeah.
BB: Really? Would you explain why it's not a hobby?
JG: But he is known as a musician. If Tom Petty suddenly decided that everyone needs to take him seriously as an actor due to his role on "King of the Hill," then I might say "you seem so passionate about acting."

He called me a biatch last year because he overheard me saying that I didn't want to wait in line to get my picture taken with him. He was outside with maybe 5-6 people around him, and my friend and I were walking by. She thought it would be a good idea for me to go stand by him and she'd take a photo. I called him an asshole so I think we are square now.

Billy Bob is such an awesome troller.

I did phoners with Billy Bob and two of his band members last year. I was told beforehand that he didn't want to discuss his acting, only his music. So I only discussed his music, and he was supremely nice to me. Even ended up talking about things unrelated to his tour, like small towns in Arkansas and Muscle Shoals music.

Did he overreact? Yep. Should have been calmer and just deflected the interview in another direction. But the DJ, whom I'm sure had the same restrictions placed on him that I did, shouldn't have been a tool.

Generation_D: Ever notice how musicians make much better actors usually than actors make trying to be musicians? Jack Black is about the only one I could name that wasn't a total embarrassment to himself, and he had a comedy angle to it e.g. wasn't based on only singing talent.

Yep.

Step 1--Request interviewer to not ask X.
Step 2--Interviewer agrees to not ask X.
Step 3--Interviewer asks X.
Step 4--Gloves come off.

I have no problem with this.

Doing a radio interview at 6am in the morning = bad idea. Jian is a douche anyhow. So maybe they cancel each others doucheyness out.

arrogant piece of garbage

Gaaaah, what a repulsive, greasy, dirty, slimy reprehensible piece of human waste... Revolting, stomach-churning douche.

Theaetetus: "It gave humpbacked geeks all over the world something to do"

Like masturbate to pictures of your ex-wife?

Nice!

The hump is where we store our secondary spank bank of said pictures.

oh no he di'nt.

That may be, but Jian was NOT being a dick during the interview. As a matter of fact the douche meter was 100% on BBT's side there. I am pretty sure BBT did not know Jian from a hole in the ground, so personal bias's aside, BBT was - and IS - a dick.

Sybarite: Yeah he's a dick, but I'm still watching Bad Santa every Christmas.

"Candy corn?"
"They can't all be winners, kid."

Are you serious? Did you even watch the interview? The guys only comment on the acting was as part of opening for the interview to introduce who he was interviewing to the listener. That was IT. From then on it was all about his music.

...or at least thats what the interviewer tried to do until he hit BBT's wall of douche.

Jian was being a dick, by not keeping his side of the bargain. It is extremely dickish to tell a person one thing and then ambush them on live radio.

He's still a dick.

He hosted a show with the band for a network I'm a contractor at and had a major meltdown at some point. I don't know if they asked for the tapes of that section or not. Going to go look around in the library and see if it's still here.

Got all over the talent booker here for no reason. We all laughed our asses off at the interview.

I will say that if he did ask them not to discuss his acting career then they should have followed that. We occasionaly get those kind of requests, so it's up to the producer and talent to coordinate so they know what questions we can ask or can't.

Had Jessica Simpson and Kevin Costner come by this year. Had their handlers and both were as nice as could be.

//amazing how many people came down for "coffee" outside the green room when Kevin was here.

Do What Now Question Mark: Did he overreact? Yep. Should have been calmer and just deflected the interview in another direction. But the DJ, whom I'm sure had the same restrictions placed on him that I did, shouldn't have been a tool.

We believe in free speech in Canada.

"Actors" playing at "musician" don't get to dictate what questions are asked.

/They have the choice to not get any publicity

We don't do that for our politicians either.
