scottydoesntknow: For one of the nicest people in Hollywood/America/Earth to have to take out a restraining order on you makes you a special kind of crazy.

Yup. I've interviewed Keanu and, among the thousands of people I have interviewed, he is among the most sincere and down-to-earth I have ever spoken to. He probably asked this guy respectfully to leave his property several times, and perhaps offered him a smoothie or some breakfast, before ultimately getting the authorities involved. Reeves wouldn't have done this as a Weeners.

Keanu definitely has that reputation. I understand he's also known for always showing up on time and prepared, with his lines memorized and any stunt work he's involved in always ready to shoot on schedule. He may never win an Oscar, but he'll always have work.

Do you still do celebrity interviews?

Not so much these days; the last one was Maynard when the Puscifer album came out. He was very cool too. When I was doing interviews full-on I primarily covered music, so I was interviewing Keanu with his bandmates in Dogstar.

Also, why the hell did the filter translate my post to "was a Weeners"? I'm pretty sure I typed "as a first step," not "as a Boobies."

I saw A Perfect Circle in Nashville once. I yelled to Maynard between songs from about 20 rows back and he picked me out of the crows and gave me a "What's up?"

The filter came about because when Fark first started out, it was the en vogue thing for people to write "Boobies" or something similar when they came into a newly greened thread no one had posted in, so the filter was created to substitute "Boobies" or "Weeners" for several different varieties. It served its purpose as people stopped posting that annoying nonsense, but Fark left it in because it's tradition now and it's always funny when people get accidentally filterpwned.

If you're still doing celeb stuff, you should submit your stuff here to get more eyeballs, especially on weekends, We ...

That's very cool that you had an exchange with Maynard. He had always struck me as really intimidating, but as it turns out, he's a very even-keeled guy.

Oh yes; despite the relatively new date on my Fark account, I have been around for quite a while, and I remember when "f1rst:" would get filtered into, well, you know... for some reason, I thought that was specific to "Boobies" but maybe I was mistaken.

I will definitely submit here when it makes sense to do so; I primarily work in the adult entertainment industry these days, so hopefully Fark will accept a link on occasion when I have something that is a good fit.

More important than that, it is nice to have a productive and civil conversation with someone here, so thank you for that! Too often lately, it seems like this place is tailored toward getting people to snipe at each other. Thank you for being the exception to that!
