Posted: 12/27/08 at 9:00pmAnyways, back to Piven. I hope he enjoys the Bangkok hookers and doesn't catch syphillis on top of his mercury poisoning.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Posted: 12/30/08 at 4:17pmPlease, I'm over and done with this whole charade. I'd actually like to thank him. Because of this I get to see two of my favorite actors go at it. Fine by me.

Posted: 12/30/08 at 4:33pmNo matter how hard I try, I can't seem to care about the Piven thing. If it's publicity he wants, he really needs to release a sex video. It's just a suggestion.

Posted: 12/30/08 at 4:54pmWhy not use the preview feature before posting? I often find that I have made typos or spelled something wrong...to me it's kind of like getting dressed before I leave home. Check yourself in the full length mirror before going outside. I guess it's just all part of putting your best foot forward. Other posters are much more casual and therefore don't mind the typos and spelling errors that they make.

"I don't really see how capitalization and the replacement of a single missing letter counts as being a proponent of the future of the English language. To be honest, there's a big difference between an orthographical pedant and being a 'protector of language'. Bangkok is, to some extent, an orthographically opaque word, and the rest of your complaints would have absolutely no discernible presence in speech, and unlike, say, a missing apostrophe when one wants to denote ownership, the faults would not cause any difference in meaning.
Also, there's no way to protect the 'future' of a language. A language changes and changes, that's its nature, and although you might disagree with the changes, they're just as natural as whatever rule you come up with. In effect, if a large enough number of people start spelling a certain word a certain way, or start altering the grammar of language in a certain, that becomes the right way of doing it. I know on boards like this, and with written language in general, we need an objective point of reference, but in reality, language is not very objective at all. So don't try and protect the future of the English language. IF THAT WAS POSSIBLE, we'd be conjugating regular verbs in the present tense other than the 3rd person singular, I'm sure."
I believe you meant "If that WERE possible" bitchy, I mean twitchy.

And we already have a title for the sex tape! From Broadway to Bangkok. It can be a documentary of sorts illustrating how Piven developed mercury poisoning from a zany thermometer mishap. Throw in some chorus boys and lady boys (we'll call them his "mentourage") and we're set.

Apparently Jeremy is also seeking solace along another route (see link).
Yet again (and I'm being excruciatingly polite here) it doesn't add up, just as nothing HAS in this whole ludicrous fish story. According to Jeremy's "doctor" he was in the hospital for three days (presumably between his last performance in STP and when he fled back to LA). However, this info seems to indicate he was holed up with the new girlfriend, and not at the "hospital".
Golly gee willikers! More lies and obfuscations! I'm, like, soooo shocked! 
Jeremy Piven plows ahead.

Posted: 12/31/08 at 5:18pmI was going to make a snide remark about Jeremy going to Bangkok on doctor's orders, but sure nuf, the article says the doctor did order it. Is the doctor also ordering multiple canoodling partners? Wasn't Jeremy reportedly i "in love" with John Cleese's daughter? Does mercury poisoning lead to memory loss of names and phone numbers? Do I really care?

Posted: 12/31/08 at 5:32pmIt's really a shame it's come to this. I saw him in previews, and thought he did a respectable job. The production got very good reviews. It sucks that he's blown it in one swoop.

Posted: 12/31/08 at 5:38pmIt sucks that he didn't take his professional responsibilities seriously enough to at least "live the lie" for a little while.
