Meet the ultimate, unlikely diva: Luis Guzman, in this video shot behind-the scenes of the movie "Waiting." From the blog of the director of "Waiting":
"Okay, here's a little preface: We were fortunate enough to have a guy, Jason Vowell, constantly filming behind-the-scenes footage, so it became commonplace. As a result, the actors let their guard down and often didn't notice the camera... And further as a result, I have this clip of Luis Guzman and I getting into a really bad argument, with him becoming a real asshole. I have to be honest, I didn't originally intend to show this clip to anyone. I thought "maaaaaaybe I'll put it on the 10-year anniversary DVD." (Yup, I've deluded myself into thinking there will be a demand for a 10-year anniversary DVD), because after 10 years it won't matter anyway... But the reason I've changed my mind is because Luis has been talking a bunch of shit about me in interviews. Someone on the IMDB message boards posted this link to slam online ... Here's the quote if you don't want to leave this page:
'Tell me about your film Waiting... What's really hood with that?
I had a good time doing that, but the director was a real a******. The guy gotta go to like acting school so he could understand actors better. Don't get me wrong, he did a nice job writing the stuff, but he was always like directing everybody on how to act. It got to the point to where I said, "Yo dude, how many films have you made?" And he said, "This is my first film." And I say, "Dude, this is like my 65th film. I think I can do this." I said, "Don't bawl, I'm gonna take care of you and do a good job." This director, he's a nice dude, but he don't know half the s*** he doing. You can write that cause I told him that to his face in front of everybody.'
I was even going to let it go after that. I fought back my urge to issue a retort for the last couple weeks... But I have since heard him say similar things to a couple of TV interviewers. My girlfriend (who works at Lions Gate Publicity actually) told me she heard him say the same basic thing to a journalist...IN THE PRESS LINE OF MY OWN F*CKING PREMIERE!... So that was it. As far as I'm concerned, all bets are off... Screw being the bigger man. I'm going to show you the clip.
Here's the set-up for the clip: Basically, I wanted Luis to cheer the character "Calvin" on by saying "You can do it!" (not like Rob Schneider, by the way), and he wanted to cheer him on by calling him a "Pissing-Pussy-Bitch." This is supposed to be Calvin's dream sequence where everyone is being nice to him, and I tried to explain that to Luis, but he wouldn't fucking budge. You tell me if I was being out of line, or if I was "directing him on how to act.""
A hardy phone for anyone who works in electronics-unfriendly environments.
The Pantech Breeze is definitely ideal for seniors and those with disabilities, but it's also an all-around great phone for anyone who wants a decent entry-level handset.
