Lunch With... Anthony Hines & Peter Baynham
Two of the writers of Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan sit down and chat with David about the process of making the film, why Bruno pisses off more poeple than Borat, what's next, and making a waistcoat out of Dakota Fanning. And away we go....

Almost turns into "Talking Rape with the Borat Writers" but it's a really insightful interview... (as was the interview with Cohen not in character on NPR)

Dave:
Have you considered adding a little monolgue either before or after the interviews? It could tie in with the topics/themes discussed, be completely random, or just be a 'this week's news & gossip' type of thing (like your original iklipz bits)? I really enjoy both and think they might play well together.

There is a new video feature coming, J... enough of me to gag on, no doubt.
I am really enjoying the experiment of it all and the guests have been, as we expected them to be, terrific. Each one is a somewhat new experience to me, whether an actor, a writer, doing 2 in one afternoon, etc. Next week, we're trying a threesome of guests. So far, so good.
This is very much how Hot Button was grown. Organic. No end game. And because it's the web, the pressure that would be there from the start if this was a weekly 30 minute TV show is not there. I didn't need to launch with Eddie Murphy to get a ratings impact.
Anyway, thanks for the nice words and keep watching. It will get even better... I will get better...

funny guys. Waistcoat? Well there's a litle more to her than that. You could probably get a pair of gloves too. SHouldn;t waste anything, not environmental.
i do have a coat made from young black possums (animal parts are important in Indian culture), but no unborn calves or any type. That's a bit too far out even by my primitive standards.
Do more stuff like that Dave.

I think DP would make a great Midnight Blue mainstream-movie-dirty-talk cable show host, if he could do it in a litig enough way not to scare off guests.
ED, I just shocked you didn't offer some mic/audio advice... it's not too late.

Actually, I think David doesn't do bad with the audio on his pieces unlike another blogger pal whose name cannot be invoked on this blog. :)

Clink-clink coffee cups, what'd he say? Even public access Robin Byrd did better.
