pepper: Pepperpot (Easily Amoosed)
Moebius behind-the-scenes pics and transcript. Why? Because I was watching this bit (again) last night, and it made me laugh (again). So I thought I'd share the funny.

WARNING: Moebius spoilers. Sort of.

The Irrepressible Mr. Anderson

They started to worry when Rick came back from lunch with a pie roped to his head.  



[Rick is trying out ridiculous pie-like hat. Everyone is laughing at him.]

Peter DeLuise: We've gotta give you a better... No, it's making me laugh, Rick. Come on.
RDA: [Unwilling to relinquish the hat] Well, then it's working.



 

What? I was MacGyver, for cryin' out loud. Dignity is no longer in my vocabulary.



PDL: See, everyone else looks cool. You wanna be the only one who doesn't look cool?
RDA: YES! [Much handwaving] Don't you get it?! I've built a career on that!
PDL: If we go for funny, it should look more funny. 







I'll just act not funny. No one'll notice the hat.

RDA: What is the option so we can appease Mr. DeLuise's conservative approach to filmmaking? [Tries on hat that resembles a pile of fat noodles.] How's that?
PDL: No, it's too funny.
RDA: What? God! It works. Let me see. [Looks in mirror, adjusts hat.] There, it's good. It's not a flattop.
[Turns head abruptly to make hat strings swing. Everyone laughs.]
RDA [Slightly contrite] I'll make it work. I won't make it funny.
PDL: [Dubiously] You're just gonna act not-funny?
RDA: [Unconvincingly] Yes. 

 

The catering staff called, they want their dishrag back.



RDA: [Looks at camera as he's given new hat.] Are you chronicling how difficult we are?
[Someone puts weird kind of tight dishrag on his head. Everyone laughs.] 








David Lean called, he's threatening to sue. 



[Yet another new hat. This one seems to be the one they finally went with.]
PDL: This is gonna look good.
RDA: [Tones of gloom] It'll look boring.
PDL: Boring, but not funny. [Rick has managed to put the hat on over his eyes. PDL corrects hat so it sits normally.] Good. Better. Much better. Okay. Now we shoot.
RDA: It must be dull.
PDL: [Trying to tempt Rick with the shiny?] Lawrence of Arabia. 




RDA: [Tucks hat behind his ears. Quiet satisfaction.] That's the look I was going for.

The Look is achieved.

Yeah, I'd be about ready to beat him over the head with those hats, but Peter DeLuise seemed to take it all in stride. I guess that part of a director's job is knowing how to cope with your cast, and I doubt Rick can be browbeaten into behaving.

Still... cute. And he knows it. *g*

doesn't the AD come up at the end of that looking very long-suffering and tell them to enough with the laughing and start working?

It's that clip right?

Because PDL is just as bad! One wonders if they have to wrangle the director as much as the cast sometimes :p

Yeah, that's the clip. I guess someone's got to be the spoilsport. *g* I got the impression that PDL was trying to be professional - but was so tempted to join in the fun...

I so hope they show the blooper reel someday.
