STS Ch-96
is the best coming-of-age movie you’ll see this year Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times Rating: 4/4 I had no idea what I was getting into when I walked into the premiere of . I was told by the trailers and the controversy that arrived just before the film’s release that it would be about sex, but it’s so much more than that. It’s a mirror to our society. The beginning of the tale is one that every red-blooded male would know: the urge to lose his virginity before his friends during his teenage…- 297.0 K • Ongoing

“I’m so sorry!” I immediately turned around. “I thought... you’d be dressed by now.” For some reason, my male ego forced me to lie instead of admitting I’d walked into the wrong trailer by mistake. “And you decided to come into my trailer wearing only a towel?” she shot back sassily. I raised the script pages in my hand. “John asked me to drop off the revised pages for tomorrow’s shoot so you could prepare. I thought I’d hand them over quickly and then go get…- 297.0 K • Ongoing

“Thank you for coming here to see me,” I said, shaking hands with the man in front of me. John Landis gave me a nod. “It’s okay. I’ll do anything for my film. It’s my baby.” There was something in the way he said it that made me feel a little uncomfortable in his presence. Nonetheless, I indicated for him to take a seat on the couch opposite me. “So,” I began after a few moments of silence, “Why do I have a feeling that you came here not just to discuss the script with…- 297.0 K • Ongoing

“Aaaaahh! It hurts so fucking much!” I screamed as I writhed on the ground, covered in fake hair. “Turn around and show your back to the camera,” John Landis barked as he operated the camera himself. I did as instructed, dropping to all fours and howling while staring up at the ceiling. “Perfect!” Landis grinned. “We got what we needed. You can get some of the hair removed now, and we’ll shoot the next part.” Under the watchful eyes of dozens of crew members, I got up and…- 297.0 K • Ongoing

A woman I knew intimately. A woman who’d shaken my world to the core, first privately in Greece, then publicly when our scandal surfaced in tabloids around the world. Acacia Zervas. And judging by her expression, she seemed to be equally surprised by my presence here, if not more. “Mr. Deray,” Jennifer spoke up before the silence could get any more awkward. “We’re so pleased to meet you. I’m Jennifer Jason Leigh, and this is my co-star, Noah Hunter.” “The pleasure’s all mine,…- 297.0 K • Ongoing

As the film continues, more revelations are made about Patrick. He has a lot of friends who seem ready to support him in his time of grief, including two very hot girls. “Hey, Uncle Lee,” Patrick said hesitantly as he walked into his uncle’s room. “Is it okay if Sylvie sleeps over? Dad always let her.” “Then why are you asking me?” Lee asked in confusion. Patrick just smiled and was about to leave when he remembered something. “Oh, and her parents think she stays downstairs in the…- 297.0 K • Ongoing

I woke up after what felt like a very long, deep sleep. Yesterday’s run-in with a future superstar had left me reeling. Would he even become a superstar now that I had taken for myself? Even though I was exhausted, my brain was working overtime, thinking about Tom Cruise and the implications of taking one of his iconic roles. Should I feel some sort of guilt for taking the role away from him? I didn’t. Every film I’d done until now, whether it was or , had originally gone to someone else. By…- 297.0 K • Ongoing

“Cheers!” A voice rang out from the corner of the club we were occupying as everyone around us raised their glasses of champagne. The background noise of the club was ignored in favor of enjoying the moment. A huge grin spread across my face as I raised my own glass high before gulping down most of it. The only reason I’d even grabbed the glass was that it would’ve looked weird if I hadn’t, after being the co-lead actor and writer of one of the most talked-about films at this year’s Cannes…- 297.0 K • Ongoing

The moment I saw her, I knew who she was. She was a future Oscar winner and one of the greatest British actresses of her generation. Not to mention a brilliant writer and a very funny comedienne. Emma Thompson. “I’m so sorry for being late,” she apologized. “I mixed up the timing for this audition with another one.” “Unfortunately for you, we’re done here for today,” John said sternly. “You can come back tomorrow...” “John,” I interrupted before he could finish,…- 297.0 K • Ongoing

Doug and I went back as far as my first film. He was the one who wrote the atrocity that was . While the film was terrible, he inspired me to start writing my own scripts. He even took my first script, , to Columbia and got Paul Brickman involved in the process. Sure, Paul and I didn’t get along, but I had no beef with Doug. In fact, I owed him for essentially making my Hollywood career. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have written or any of my other scripts. “Why does Doug want to get in…- 297.0 K • Ongoing
