Hollywood

My friend, the up and coming moviemaker Chase Gordon made his debut on IMDB. Congratulations to Chase!

I knew Chase Gordon back when he was still called Bernard Schwarz (well not exactly, Bernard Schwarz is somebody else's birth name. Do you know who? Test yourself before peeking at the answer. But Chase Gordon was born with a name that is not any less Jewish than Bernard Schwarz). I guess this connection makes me a Hollywood insider, so now I can discuss movies with greater authority than I used to.

We saw A Mighty Wind last night. It was very funny. Go see it. Among the special moments: Ed Begley Jr. as the Yiddish-speaking goyishe public television executive and Michael Hitchcock as the uptight music hall manager.

Heh. I know the answer, and there's an interesting reason why. I used to work for Loral, and the guy who runs Loral is also called Bernard Schwartz.
