Watched Wiener-Dog (2016)
Dir. Todd Solondz
Professor Phillips
“Celebrity Schmelebrity”
is a terrific script.
Dave Schmerz
It’s a piece of shit.
I tried to do something good.
It’s… something…
Get into my childhood.
Get into some…
Something real.
Real stuff.
Pain.
Memories.
Dreams.
But I wanted it to be funny.
I wanted people to like it.
I wanted it to sell.
So I threw in
the mixed-up identities…
I threw in the sex jokes.
The Mafia.
A little schtick.
Everyone loves a little schtick.
