My favourite thing about this Substack is the pure refusal to ever spell Brandon's name correctly. I love it, I'm here for it.

Oooo!! That’s gonna be so cool!!! I wanna know what happened to all the clothing. Did they save it? The pink robe is iconic. Loved all the clothing and styling on that film. Lots of guys in this area started dressing like Tyler. Some—— never stopped. Lol. I believe Meat Loaf kept his chest piece, but fell apart years later.

Actually -- full disclosure -- this is a ruse. Fox/Disney is planning to take legal action to reclaim the eyeglasses.

He was also an extra in Revenge of the Nerds 7 - the one where they became pornographers and Booger went to prison for human trafficking.

Was Brandan even alive in 1996 or whenever it was?

Can’t believe I’m being discriminated against for having Benjamin Buttons’ disease. Unbelievable.

Pretty sure they used those same glasses in “American Psycho.” Better search the wardrobe dept. there. I bet Brett Easton Ellis has them.

It is me. I totally took the glasses. It was either that or wear Chewbacca for the fight scenes. Disney would have not liked that and they didn't own Fox at the time.

So, I'm wondering if I'm in a time loop because I remember this question. Deja Vu, all over again. May of last year - different search - same title. Phew

Random thought time. I have thought about hiring escorts just so they can recount as many stories as they can. The best, the worst. It's all research. Chuck mentioned he used phone sex hotlines for research for a book (maybe Snuff?) and how he was able to use those phone calls as a tax write off. And I'm thinking that my escort idea could be a tax write off too.

I think I'm starting to better understand your concept of reframing things in terms of "I'm just doing research."

Hi Chuck, would you want to act in a movie I’m shooting up in St Helens next month? One night. You’d be a creepy priest who gives a passionate speech and then gets murdered by an evil Santa Claus in a church. Would be a lot of fun!
