CELEBRITY Q AND A:THE BASTARD, JAMES SPADER.

In 2004, we were treated to a sneak preview viewing- of ABC's The Practice. A hit legal show, created by David E. Kelly. This is NOT to be confused, with a medical spin-off of Grey's Anatomy, called Private Practice, which totally sucked.

Anyway, I sat at a table near the front, closest to the big TV set. It's the first shot (with running time codes still on it) where The Blacklist star- James Spader is chewing scenery with abandon. So much so, he start to come off as hammy to me.

Spader demolished a fat Italian lawyer, with a nasty line. I accidentally said verbally, "Wow, Spader's a prick." At that point, a mean,full blond headed guy, immediately takes his eyes off the screen and menacingly stared at me, with the intent of bodily harm.

After quite a few seconds, I realize that is Alan Shore of that show's finale season and future Emmy winning turns on its Spin-off, Boston Legal. Embarrassed, I just turn my head back to monitor. I just try to ignore, the occasionally angry-as-hell glances.

After the viewing, we all get up to leave. We both (somehow) stand and face each other. Spader looks right at me and said (after his alter ego did something nice,in the final shot) ...."Am I still a prick to you?," in a cheerful, but mocking tone.

I just look at him, jokingly shrug my shoulders and sympathetically said, "Maybe." A torrent of cuss words fly at me,as a turn around and quickly leave. I smiled as I realized, a major star was upset- by me.

Notes: I ended seeing Spader, at a couple of SAG-AFTRA meetings years later. He just wanted to say the same mean,semi-bigoted lies and remarks,when he didn't get his chance at the viewing.I just ignored him.I don't know, I think Modern Family's Eric Stonestreet was there. This just confirmed that he IS a mean, lying little prick. Go back to hell, Red James!

1/2 AN ASSHOLE (CONFIRMED) BRUCE WILLIS PULLS A HARRISON FORD,TO DO ANOTHER DIE HARD FILM- SOLELY FOR THE CASH.

Samuel L. Jackson will film a cameo (as Zeus Carver) for the Japan based flick. The arrogant Willis hopes to reignite the racial "hype" of the ...With A Vengeance sequel.

The Global Dispatch revealed that "John McClane will head to Japan to be honored on the anniversary of the heroics from the first film."

Writer Ben Trebilcook continued “I can say that McClane is invited to Tokyo by the Nakatomi Corporation, to be commended for his bravery and efforts in saving 36 lives, celebrating this on the 30th anniversary of the (West Coast Tower) Hostage Crisis.”

He feels the film will be, in the vein of the movies: Black Rain and Rising Sun, in using the culture clash and the Yakuza (Japanese mafia) to bring John McClane back to his family...again ("siblings" Jai Courtney and Mary Elizabeth Winstead.) Willis wants to FINISH the story once and for all- after the stupid, confusing, James Bond driven, A Good Day to Die Hard, last year.

"McClane began on his own and should end on his own" stated the ...cook. He explained,"Of course he’s had assistance in various guises, aiding him in his ventures; but it’s not Lethal Weapon or a Jackie Chan film.”

The producers want to bring the violent, thieves-as-terrorists action saga "back the basics" and feel the "inclusion of Jackson would be an interesting" way to say proper good bye, to the famed demi-clever, semi-racist/smart assed cop.
