Well that's one way to get a good DM write up...next you'll be getting cheese and whisky from your interviewees.

When I did the screener for Quantumania, they gave us free drink coupons for the Metreon Bar and I did have a top shelf whiskey shot. Still panned the film because it sucked.
When I did the interview of Rain for Ninja Assassin, there were sushi platters in the press room and interview room. I didn't give that a great review either, come to think of it.
No one has bribed me with cheese yet, at least not that I can remember. Maybe there was a charcuterie platter in a press room or two, but that doesn't really count as much of cheese offering unless the cheese is exceptional.
In-person press days were so fun. The pandemic killed all that - much cheaper to just do zoom meetings.
Just cut this out of my interview transcription with Dunlevy. The transcription was by MS Word's internal transcriber, which is weak, and yet I'm grateful for it because it saves me so much time. Back in the day, I transcribed manually... off cassette tape no less.
The next part I might use somehow.

Did you make you made your? I was. I was looking up your biography and everything like that. You made real swords. You're you're a sword maker as well.
00:17:43 Speaker 1
A long time ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I did that. I did it primarily for, for theater Shakespearean.
00:17:51 Speaker 1
So we made these kind of stripped down swords that they could create themselves, but they were real steel so they could, you know, bang on each other.
00:18:00 Speaker 1
There's nothing. Nothing like what? A workshop or anything like that. It was more. It was more.
00:18:04 Speaker 1
Like.
00:18:05 Speaker 1
Yeah, there's Shakespeare theater going on everywhere. So yeah, you know, they they needed something a little bit more within their budget.
00:18:13 Speaker 1
Well.

No, it's always interesting, especially with like martial artists in this world and and things like that. And you make a really good point. I've actually got your article about keeping your edge that you just wrote up about using real weapons and real edged weapons. And because we have a habit, obviously you lose the.
00:18:41 Speaker 2
And and also training with Real Edge weapons like with with film, there's a you lose the.
00:18:48 Speaker 2
An aspect of the the fear, you know, like you say. If you're clinging swords and things like that, and if it is a dull weapon. Actors, we always have to reinforce the actors.
00:18:57 Speaker 2
The reality of the situation, like if you are fighting someone and Anna was really good with that. If you're fighting someone, there's a trepidation there. Even if if you're in a knife fight, both of you probably going to get cut, right? Like there's there's that aspect to it of of trying to keep that realness to it that we we try to reinforce.
