I was born and raised in Los Angeles. I lived in Malibu for over 10 years — I graduated from Pepperdine.
I rubbed elbows with Johnny Carson (my neighbor), Larry Hagman (who had the coolest old panel truck), Flip Wilson, and Linda Rondstadt (whose house I helped save in the 1978 rains) — those are those ones I remember off the top of my head.
A standard contract may include a “will promote” clause, but it hasn’t been enforced since the 1950s. There is no slavery anymore. Gov. Palin could simply have said she will not be at the opening (it happens all the time in real Hollywood — the one where I have connections).
You should be careful before tripping on your lip. It just makes you look foolish.
Do you need me to make you look MORE foolish?
Like I said, we are on the same team but at the moment, your flags are flapping in the wind.
I can return in kind, with a far more extensive and exclusive resume; however, that's not my style and there's no need for me to do so; especially since you still don't know what you're talking about.
There is no "promotion" anything, with the Palins and this film. They haven't done any and besides which, such a clause would NEVER and still doesn't entitle the stars or even bit players a say-so as to where or when a film is premiered! Hell, even directors don't have/never had such an input! And though studio heads sometimes did, even they weren't the ones to pick and choose every opening site. There is a reason WHY most of the major studios eventually got into the distribution end.I'll allow you to try to muddle through the answer to that one, all on your ownsome.
Trust me, this IS a topic you do NOT want to get into an argument with me about. :-)
