From his interview with the A.V. Club:
“Anyway, [Laraine Newman] was impressed, so she befriended me.”
“[Adam Sandler’s] very loyal to his friends.”
“[Teri Garr] was hilarious in it. We had become good friends, and I really wanted her to do it.”
“Dana Carvey and I, we’re very close friends…”
“[Dan Aykroyd] was so great to me. He knew how to live. We really hit it off. I’ve become friends with him. He’s just the nicest guy.”
“[Penny Marshall] befriended me.”
“Yeah, it was fun. And I became friends with Tom Hanks.”
“So I was really good friends with [Penny] and her daughter Tracy, who was also in it.”
“And Tom Hanks and I had become really good friends from Saturday Night Live…”
“I’d been to [Madonna’s] house, because I was friends with Sean Penn, so to me she was just another performer.”
“Nicolas Cage was great and we became friends…”
“And Barry Josephson—who is a friend and used to be my manager…”
“The funny thing is, I’ve become really good friends with Jerry Bruckheimer…”
According to Cinema Blend, “It only seemed like a matter of time before the United States Postal Service branched out and let Pixar in on the action. Now it’s been made official that they will starting with a brand new line of collectible stamps on August 19, 2011.”
The story also says, “The line itself is called Send A Hello, though it’s unclear what or if that has anything to do with the beloved animation studio.”
Here’s what they’ll look like:
Um, where’s Woody? Couldn’t he have hung out with Buzz instead of the Green Aliens? Also, where’s the love for Finding Nemo and Monsters, Inc.? I realize these are the last five Pixar films, but with the exception of Toy Story 3, Nemo and Monsters are better than the others that got selected.
A Bug’s Life goes unnoticed still.
