They had amachinethat did all the signing for them.
So technically the autographs were not even real.”

You might do this once, double your money and leave.
Congratulations.You will always lose in the long term.

“All those ‘practical effects’ that people love in movies are heavily touched by VFX.
We fix/enhance/replace everything digitally, and the on-set artists get the credit.
My slogan for VFX is ‘we make the rest of the movie.'”

“Don’t ever order mushrooms as a pizza topping.
If you want mushrooms on your pizza, buy them fresh and add them yourself.
9 times out of 10 the mushrooms they’re putting on your pizza should have been thrown out yesterday.
Mushrooms are in relatively high demand but have an absolutely terrible shelf life that outweighs their demand.”
Buy your mushrooms fresh and eat them the same day.
Gives me shudders just thinking about it.”
