Members bellcurve Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 I'm not even a minute into this but, Jesus, making a statement about what happened before and after this interview would be too easy. From the "dahling" to the wine toast to the over-the-top eyef*cking. Sometimes, the jokes just write themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bellcurve Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 Probably sniffing poppers, waiting for the interview to be over so they can tape the "real" interview. And I mean, seriously, did the interviewer just say Y&R has seen "a resurgence of history"? I mean, yeah if you wanna call absolutely butchering and manipulating that history to suit a plot, no matter how completely implausible and out-of-character it is for the story to happen.

Members Sylph Posted December 17, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 No, I missed that bit, I'm just laughing at Thom saying every 5 seconds how he thought of his own work as "crap". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 It could be a tactic to make himself seem less arrogant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted December 17, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 I don't think he's arrogant, I find him clownish. Just take a look at those giggles and all. What was that? I think he's really amazed that Gloria accepted that idea and amazed at everything else that has happened since then. Especially startled at the amount of money he received for writing "crap". He doesn't hate daytime, but is indifferent. He even says so, although in different terms, in this interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 For all his supposed disdain for "those soaps," Thom Racina has never met an interviewer he didn't like. He even infiltrated the pages of Creative Screenwriting several years ago. I almost wish he'd go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted December 17, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 It's funny how no one had the "idea" of asking a novelist to provide pre-strike the material which will air during the strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juniorz1 Posted December 18, 2009 Members Share Posted December 18, 2009 I wish he took his own advice when he did the SB finale. Someone should have put their foot down and insisted that the show be given a proper sendoff, tying up & finishing their entire 9 year history instead of the last 6 months of the show. I don't blame him as much as Rauch & Long, since they were truly in power, but it's kind of a slap in the face to hear him go on about how important and challenging the task is and how you must give something back to the fans who invested years of their lives on the show when he did exactly the opposite at SB. I would have liked to have heard more about his experiences at DAYS, AW, and SB, since I was always an NBC fan in the 80s and 90s and for about 10 years or so during that time period, his name was consistently credited on 1 of NBC's soaps. Though I understand he wrote arguably the most important period of GH, I was more interested in the shows he did after, even Generations & Y&R. I really liked the Brad Pitt story though- shows what interfering fools many execs are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted December 18, 2009 Members Share Posted December 18, 2009 Not as embarrassing to watch as that HORRIBLE Gina Tognoni interview. Yes, I maintain that interview was HORRIBLE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
