How NOT To Do An Interview

The kind of ambush-let's-get-em journalism I would never do. It is career suicide for a journalist to assume that:

a) Actors are exactly like the characters they portray in the movie they are promoting.

b) Journalists speak rudely or snidely to actors, as though addresing the characters they play in the film. Jonah Hill is absolutely right, in that although Superbad or any movie needs to be promoted. Most of it is done through the LA/New York/Toronto marketing machine. These 5-to-7 minute interviews are usually  quickies done with and for the markets inbetween, and while usually pleasant (if somewhat rote) for all concerned, not entirely neccessary. And if this was the 20th interview in a row, no wonder nerves are frayed. No one asks to be born fat, or to become fat, and it's almost as if this ass assumes the opposite.

Oh well. In the decade simce, Hill's been nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Wolf Of Wall Street. Wonder if the Brit hack is still working?


And...there is absolutely no excuse for THIS...



I bet her friends NEVER let her live that one down at parties, between shots of tequila.
