This video don't work!

[Henry]

My picture of TRP is from the Dubinis' Thomas Pynchon: A Journey Into the
Mind of P., http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0304820/ as well as those famous
coupl'a pix, but whether it's him or not in the movie, this white guy with
the bad teeth has what may be the shortest speaking role in the "Be Kind
Rewind" (BKR).  Pynch isn't an actor, but it doesn't take a lot of acting
chops to grunt one bad-grammar sentence.  (I don't remember, but there may
not be another character in BKR whose grammar is as bad.)  A-and
professional actors generally don't have teeth like that, so the guy in BKR
was chosen for his teeth or he was made-up to look like...  who?

If I didn't make the point efficiently yesterday, re-shooting other people's
films=re-writing history.  I don't think that's too much of a stretch.

Okay, ya got me; I'm a shill for BKR.  We figured that if we could get the
Pynch-List and two degrees of separation to go see BKR, we'd have a hit on
our hands, and we wouldn't have to sell the studio.

Of course, if we know TRP's audio from "The Simpsons", we have 
reason to doubt the identity of the voice of the performer with the 
basball cap. Far from me to start going on about projecting a 
world, but. . . .
