Q&A

new york times crossword puzzle clue yesterday: golden globe nominated actress for 1998's the opposite of sex. answer: christina ricci. but aurora and I thought it was phoebe from friends, who's in that and happy endings, both written and directed by don roos. naturally, I could remember all five of the other actors names but not her's and I eventually had to go to target to look on the back of a friends season 5 DVD (I first looked for romy and michelle's high school reunion). answer: lisa kudrow.

relieved, I went to see good dick (part of the sundance series at BAM), written, directed and starring marianna palka, it co-stars jason ritter who plays the drummer who doesn't know he's gay in happy endings (tom arnold, jason ritter's character's dad in happy endings, plays palka's character's dad here). ritter and palka live together, he said during the Q&A, one of many insipid non-answers. I wanted to ask if he has a longer than 8.5 inch penis, a bet his character makes in the movie and wins without visual confirmation (written by his girlfriend), but I was too put off by their responses to other question to participate.

Q: what were the pros and cons of directing and starring?
A: I don't know, I just really enjoyed it.

Q: what was the hardest part of making this movie? [it's about a character who was molested as a child]
A: we just had a lot of fun.
