elderwittyJust what you’d expect: trash talking and affection in equal amounts.
They talked about Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and David said he had pushed to get the Evil Snow Monkey Movie released at the same time. It could be the weekend of Hewlett and his primates. Joe guessed that they held it back to improve David’s Oscar chances. ;P
They discussed Joe’s new movie with Jean-Claude Van Damme, which is about to start shooting in Romania. This led to David explaining how the crews over there have a different outlook.
As Romanian crew member, smoking a cigarette: “I have bad news and good news.”
As himself, the beleaguered director: “What’s the bad news?”
aRC: “No snowmobiles have come.” (snowmobile scene slated for today’s shoot)
aDH: “What’s the good news?”
aRC” “We go home early!”
aDH: “I want you to set up the camera at ground level, and shoot this from a really low angle.”
aRC: “Okay.”
aDH (after seeing camera on home-grown stilt-like apparatus): “What’s that?”
aRC: “Ground is uncomfortable for sitting. Is hard to get up and down. This is fine.”
Big laughs, especially after he reminded Joe that he had it to look forward to.
"It was you!!! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "Hm? Me, what?" . . . . . "Don't tell him. It was me."
Joe talked about Ferocious Planet, or, as it was known while they filmed it, The Other Side. They’d had a lot of fun making it, because the writer and director were playing off all the sci-fi horror movie conventions, and the actors joined in on the ride. Apparently, the crew at Syfy didn’t like it like that (or didn’t get it), because they cut out all the humorous stuff, and renamed it. Sad.
When it came time for David to leave, Joe wouldn’t let him.
. . . . . . . . . . . 
"You can't leave - you're my wingman!" . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 'Oh, okay."
Prudent, because the next question was from the Japanese lady, about mango pudding and a thousand yen note (in Tao of Rodney).
"Mango pudding? What?"
That wasn’t so bad, but her follow up asked if John and Rodney were just friends, or something more like love.
Joe (who thought that fanfic is slash, and fanfiction is everything else) said that once they put it out there, it’s for the fans to decide what to do with it.
David gave him the side eye and repeated that bit back to him, slowly, in case Joe hadn’t realized what we he said.
"You put it out there...."
"...and the fans decide what to do with it."
"Oops."
All in all, they handled it gracefully, and David told Joe to be thankful, because if he’d left when he was supposed to, Joe would’ve been left all alone to handle that. “You dodged a bullet, mister.”
Someone asked Joe how his shoulder was and he said it was better. “It had better be better!” (as he’s going off to do this film). He talked about tweeting his gory shoulder, and David was aghast. “During the surgery?!” “Well, no. Before,” Joe admitted. (Like that’s so much better, but, hey. Scars are cool and wounds are interesting.)
Last part slated for tomorrow.

photos
Date: 2011-09-06 09:00 am (UTC)I did see, and made a mental note to go look at 'em all after I get the con reports done...which should've been today, but didn't happen.
I'll go check them out, :fingers crossed: , tomorrow.
No promises, mind. I may just slack around the house after work. Depends on how bad it blows tomorrow.

Date: 2011-09-07 05:35 am (UTC)Thanks for offering so generously, but I don't think I need any of them. Since I wasn't there, I got no feeling for them. (Weird, I know.) I really only use photos to jog my memories - since I can remember nothing on my own.
I will say that the one of Kavan looking adorably confused (five or ten after the blatant ass shot. You objectifier, you - he's not a piece of meat!) is very sweet.
(icon does not represent the ass of Kavan Smith)
*confused*
Date: 2011-09-07 04:26 pm (UTC)Well when I saw him at Burbank in 2008 (despite the horrible camera and the fact that the man tried to publicly kill me by using the word "orgasm" in a sentence directed at me in reference to him) I took almost 300 photos of him. So...I might have learned some moderation? ;)

Wait....Are you referring to my Vancouver pictures? Because I posted them and I posted my Chicago pictures...and they are in two totally different sets....
Re: *confused*
Date: 2011-09-07 06:28 pm (UTC)The Vancouver ones, judging by his ballcap. I guess I haven't made it to the Chicago ones yet.
Prolly after work tonight.
Re: *confused*
Date: 2011-09-07 06:42 pm (UTC)I'm pretty sure the only thing that was spasming was my brain. (Seriously that man tried to kill me. I swear it. He NEVER should have asked me if I could "do this one thing where I have to fake an orgasm" in front of everyone.)

Well to make it easier I'll just toss the link to the "main" Chicago album here: http://photobucket.com/SGChi
And down on the right side is all the sub-albums. I ONLY shot 135 of Kavan in Chicago. ;) (The next closest is Ben Browder & JR Bourne at 40 then David DeLuise at 39)
Re: *confused*
Date: 2011-09-08 08:43 am (UTC)Man, they really never did turn the lights up in Chicago at all, did they? You know, I see vids from other cons, and the room is not dim. Hell, I've seen vids of Creation cons where the lights were just normal. When did they start the Batcave shit?
Anyway, I really like how much Joe was enjoying David's tale of the mooning. He looks so damn pleased with himself - even though he must've heard or told this story a thousand times.
Re: *confused*
Date: 2011-09-08 06:54 pm (UTC)I think the first year I remember hearing A LOT of complaints about the lights was 2009 at Vancouver...They claimed it had 'gone well at other cons' and then turned out the lights. I know that last year despite multiple complaints at VanCon they didn't turn them up at all (2010) which SUCKED.
even though he must've heard or told this story a thousand times.
Every time I've seen David he's told it. So that's every con he's done since 2008, though the 2008 version was special because Jason was sitting there while David told it. :) (Its funny I kick myself massively now because I met Jason Mamoa and I could really have cared less. NOW?! He's going to be this big thing and I have nothing to really prove I saw him...In fact I don't think I even bothered with his autograph :0)
Re: *batcave*
Date: 2011-09-09 05:57 am (UTC)Hey, it's a funny story. As for Jason, why wouldn't you get his autograph just to be that close to the pretty? Silly rabbit.
Re: *batcave*
Date: 2011-09-09 06:09 am (UTC)They actually had people who have light sensitivities complain to them about it and their response was "oh sorry. We'll try and do better next time"
I don't see what possible benefit could be derived from the lack of light.
They have said in the past that they want to give the con a more 'theatrical feel' than what it had in the past. I don't want theater. I want hot dudes to drool on. (Also I miss the days where the male stars were practically obligated to take their shirts off at some point during their panel)
why wouldn't you get his autograph just to be that close to the pretty?
Burbank was my very first con I had the friend of DOOM with me (remind me to tell you that story later) and I figured "Oh it's just a one time thing. I won't do one of these silly conventions again!" (Yeah tell that to my wallet and my 10 (TEN!) cons I've been to since.)
Re: *batcave*
Date: 2011-09-10 06:55 am (UTC)Theatrical? WTF?
Ah. You know, maybe in three or four years I'll regret not getting Brian Smith's autograph at my first con. Bwahahahahaha! :wipes tears of laughter away:
Re: *batcave*
Date: 2011-09-10 07:14 pm (UTC)Well you know that we all go to these cons not for the pretty men but for the effect of 'going to the theatar' (intentional misspelling ;)) since we all live in our mother's basements and just don't have social lives ;)

Re: *logic*
Date: 2011-09-14 09:53 pm (UTC)I'm disappointed every time people don't. Why can't I get it through my head that it's not very thick on the ground? :D

Date: 2011-09-06 10:36 pm (UTC)And I still say that next time we tie a tiny bottle of scotch from a stick to get a reaction out of him. Like a cat with a feather.
It's a plan!
Date: 2011-09-07 05:01 am (UTC)OMG, I'm in. We need to do photo ops, one of the two of us with him and the other teasing him with the just-out-of-reach booze-on-fishing-line visible in the photo. Then switch. (And make sure somebody in line or just outside gets shots of it, too.)
ETA: And, by "shots", I mean "sneaky video".
