Gale Bilbao Convention Transcripts - Part 1
I sincerely apologize for the delay in posting the transcripts. Time and circumstance cracked their proverbial whip and made it impossible to post earlier. *sigh* If anyone is still interested, here are the transcripts from the Bilbao Convention.

Again, huge thanks to mytearsinheaven for giving me the tools I needed and to wren_kt7oz for her help with the Saturday transcriptions. I'll be posting the rest later.
( Collapse )




OPENING

(Gale’s words in red)

(Rules of the Con in Spanish)

I’ll say it in English for those who don’t understand Spanish. It is absolutely prohibited to record videos, okay? This is the most important point. You cannot record the convention anywhere. You can take photos without using a flash. But you cannot record videos, okay? There are, as you can see, signs around the room and there are staff members who will watch you at all times, and if they see someone recording a video, it will be erased and you will be asked to leave, That’s very important, okay?

So let’s get it started. Everybody, give a warm welcome to Gale Harold!

CLAPPING AND CHEERING

Did you have a good flight?

Si.

And do you want to tell us, how was the flight? Was it very long?

Cincuenta minutos.

Cincuenta minutos. That sounds rather short.

Spaceship.

Spaceship? Ah, sounds like fun. So are you excited to get this thing started this weekend?

I don’t know.

LAUGHTER

Is the audience excited?

(everyone yells out ‘yes’)

Okay, so should we get this thing started then? Let’s say goodbye to him for now. He’ll be back very soon.

LAUGHTER

Unless of course, you’d like to share something with us.

Uh, no. I have some Euros to exchange.

I’ll take them.

Gale says something in Spanish.

Okay, we’ll see you after. Thank you!
* * * *

COFFEE A

(Gale’s words in red)

Okay. Okay.

Gale, what are you working on this year?

Uh, a short film and uh maybe a short story or two to make into a film. Um, there’s not that much time left this year, so it will probably be next year.

Okay, what were you working on previously?

Um, I worked on something that’s been shelved, unfortunately. It may never see the light of day. And, uh, I did a couple of films last year, one which has been screened once, I think, and one which is still being edited.

What about The Lock? Are you still working on that?

Yeah. Well, The Lock is, that’s just the fake name. We had to reconfigure the entire project because the central point of the entire project has been usurped by another project. So we have to re-introduce what it’s about. But I can say that pigs are involved.

Pigs?

Yeah. But only as a metaphor.

No owls?

Well, the owls were something that came from outer space. I was told that I needed some owls. So I put the owls in. The owls are a metaphor as well, but they’re not a specific metaphor that occupies a position in the film.

Gale, excuse the question, but why did you delete your twitter account?

Why did I what?

Delete your twitter account.

Why did I delay....

Delete your twitter account.

I got tired of it.

What?

It’s not good for the mind.

Come back soon, please.

I don’t know. You gotta clean up your house sometimes. You can’t— You gotta do the laundry, you gotta wash your clothes (dirty socks everyday).

I understand but come back soon.
* * * *

SATURDAY PANEL

(Gale’s words in red)

Everyone please, give a warm welcome to Gale Harold!

CLAPPING.

Just want to say one more thing before we get started. It is completely prohibited to record videos, okay? Completely. If I didn’t mention before, there are staff members around and signs on the walls, okay? And if someone sees that you are recording, you will have your videos erased and you will be escorted out. Okay? You can take pictures without flash but no video.

What she said.

Questions anyone?

I saw some pictures of yours, like sunflowers. They were pretty good. Are you still taking pictures?

You mean of sunflowers?

Yes, sunflowers.

Those are from my phone. Just stuff. Nothing....

They’re my favorite.

I know. They’re everybody’s favorite. But I don’t shoot very much now.

What are you filming right now?

What—

What are you filming right now?

Um, nothing. But if someone’s using they’re camera phone, they’re in big trouble. Nothing at the moment. I’ve worked on some things but they’re not ready to go yet. And I want to say thank you all for coming. I forgot to say that. That’s bad manners. But now I’m saying it.

CLAPPING.

Question about what three songs he’s heard recently.

Oh God. Um, I heard a song that— It’s called Shoegaze by Alabama Shakes. And that pretty much counts for the other two. I love that song.

You guest-starred on a lot of tv shows. Is there any show you’d like to guest-star on now?

Peaky Blinders

What was it?

Peaky Blinders. It’s on Netflix. It’s about the time between the first and second world war in Birmingham in England. And I’m not even close to being right for that show, but I just love it so much. I would love to.

And it’s on Netflix.

Yeah, yeah.

I’d also like to know when you were in Field of Lost Shoes, did you enjoy riding a horse?

Yeah, of course. It was a very short period of time to do that. I would have liked a chance to ride more. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.

Question about his preparation for the role in Particles of Truth.

Preparation? Um, paranoia.

OCD maybe?

He was more of an agoraphobe. He was afraid of being outside, afraid of being next to people, afraid of being touched by people. He had a lot of issues. His Dad mixed him up real bad, his father. But, that’s a long time ago. You know, how you go outside walking down the street and you feel like everyone is trying to stick you with a pin. You ever have that feeling? That’s what I uses a little bit. He was afraid to get out of his car.

What was your favorite role and why?

Um, when I played Wile E. Coyote in an episode of Roadrunner. You probably never saw that. The work I did in the Jungle Book was really good. I’m being very, very facetious now. I’m not being honest. I’m not being serious. I don’t have.... I mean I don’t want to choose a favorite because I don’t want to stop.

Until now?

Until now? But now is now. The present is making the past happen. Right? You know what I mean? So I don’t want to jinx it. I don’t want to jinx it. I don’t want to jinx it.

Are you sure you don’t want to tell us?

Um, I’m putting that answer on hold, you know?

Okay.

We can change every day. Maybe next time I’d answer differently

Last year you talked about a book, The Flamethrowers, by Rachel Kushner. I read it. It’s beautiful. I liked it very much. Can you suggest another book for us?

Um, a friend of mine gave me an autobiography of Viviane Albertine. She was in a band called the Splits. That’s a good one. That’s a great question.

We’ve been talking about films. What about the stage? Would you like to go back on the stage?

Yeah.

And specifically, would you like to do Shakespeare?

Yeah.

Because actually I have a character in mind. I think you’d be absolutely perfect as Iago. I keep seeing you as Iago.

Make it happen.

Shall I?

Yeah. Do it.

CLAPPING

I’m gonna get to see a screening of the new Macbeth. You hear about that?

Yes.

How was shooting with Italians? Do you have some stories to tell us, like some—

Shooting with Italians? It was great. It was— On some...you know like any aspiring American who thinks they know something about film, it was...it was very inspiring and exciting just to be there, and I had a little bit of time to walk around Rome.

What did you like about Rome?

Uh, everything, everything. It’s very cliche to say this, I know. It’s like some kind of travel magazine you’ve ever read. Just walking around and seeing ruin after ruin and um, all the art work and access to the sculpture that’s there. Um, it’s almost like— You have to go back, you know? I have to go back, you know? And when I was there, the Trevi Fountain was being...was being.... They were repairing it, new lines for the water, so I couldn’t really get too close to it. It was cordorned off. But I saw it the last day I was there, the morning I was walking around the corner to get into the car to go to the airport. I saw it and the morning light, that was pretty incredible. Yeah, everything, everything. The food was horrible, but other than that....

LAUGHTER

Initially when Scott announced Adoptable, I think he mentioned you might have a part in it. Is that still the case?

Unless he changed his mind.

Also, about Wyatt Earp. That was a great role. Did you enjoy that?

I did. I did.

That was a great series, too.

Yeah, one of the best.

Three years ago, there was a video of the readings of Rachel Kushner’s Flamethrowers. Because there were English subtitles, we were able to—

Wwwait, wait, wait. Start from the beginning and end it before you said—

Before I said what?

What was the beginning of it?

The reading of Rachel Kushner’s....

Reading? Oh, yeah, okay.

During the readings there was something about five feet of pepper grinders—

Say it again? Five-foot pepper grinder?

Pepper grinder. The people bring at weddings.

Pepper grinders.

Grinder. Why are there five-foot pepper grinders and why do people—

Why is there a five-foot pepper grinder?

At the weddings.

In philosophy? Or in the world? I don’t understand.

At the weddings.

There is a— I’m trying to remember, is there a five-foot pepper grinder in the book? Or do they just talk about it? Has anyone read that book? Do you remember? There’s not a five-foot pepper grinder.

She says during the readings—

Yes, I’m playing Burdmoore Model. I think there might be something lost in translation. Ask her if the five-foot pepper grinder is something that’s in the book itself, is it a part in the book, or is it just something that someone said during the reading as a joke?

It’s on page 161.

161. A five-foot pepper grinder.

“...where the waiter comes to the table with a pepper grinder that’s five feet tall.”

Read the whole thing to me, please.

“...special occasion establishments where the waiter comes to the table with a pepper grinder that’s five feet tall.”

Maybe that’s uh— Put Burdmorre, B-u-r-d-m-o-r-r-e and put that as the first word in a search for five-foot pepper grinders and see if that comes up because it’s one of his lines.

(Waiting for the search)

Please hold. What’s your favorite ‘hold’ music? It’s gotta be a Dionne Warwick Musak.

It’s gotta be the Beatles or it’s not music?

No, that is not Musak.

Hey, that’s a good one. Look up the word Musak and find out the origin of that whole phenomenon. (He returns to the search about the five-foot pepper grinder) Anything? Nothing? I don’t know. I can’t remember. Maybe it’s part of the story. I think it depends on which character says that. Do I say that? Does my character say that?

No, someone else. She promises to find the moment—

Ask her if she remembers— Is it the guy sitting across, the tall guy with the black hair?

Oh! I know what it was! Um, what’s the question?

LAUGHTER.

I think it was a sarcastic, facetious attack on the bourgeoisie. I think he was saying something about bullshit dinner parties because I think when that scene happens in the book, the scene that we read that day, was a dinner party, and there were some (says it with an accent) patrons. Patrons? Patron. Patron of the arts. Some of the people in that scene, they could give money to the arts, to let them make their art. I think that part of the reading in the book, he’s one of the artists who’s there. He’s talking about how he’s been.... I think he’s making a reference to the fact that once you take the money, that you’re kind of beholden to the patron. You have to make the art they want you to make. And he’s—if it’s the part that I think it is, then he— Help me.

I’m still checking.

I can’t— I can’t remember. But that was a great question.

LAUGHTER AND CLAPPING.

This part is not the question: I have to rape you and take you back to Italy for the fans from Italy.

LOTS OF LAUGHTER.

And to take photo of your hands. And they want me to tell you you have to come to Italy as soon as possible. Okay, the question is, I’d like to ask you about your twitter account.

My what?

Everyone calls out ‘twitter account.’

Not all at the same time. The what?

Twitter account.

Yeah. What about it?

It was kind of a connection, you know?

Yeah.

We can see you. We can talk to you. Don’t want to interfere, but if you want to share why....

I think they should change the name of twitter to Rabbit Hole. Right?

LAUGHTER

Thank you.

But wait, I didn’t— What was the first thing that you said? What did you say about— I’m sorry, I didn’t hear the whole thing.

(Explains the awkward and funny misunderstanding about kidnapping him. She was trying to say that the fans in Italy had told her she had to kidnap him and take him back there, but instead of ‘kidnap,’ she used the word ‘rape.’ And she said that they loved his hands.)

That’s very kind.

They love your hands.

My hands? Say again? What do you think about that? (he asks his hand as if it’s a puppet). He says ‘you’re really freaking me out.’

Another question about going back to Italy soon.

Si. But no raping.

Are you trying to write something?

Write something?

When will we see your work? Your play or your novel?

It’s not a play, no. It’s a...It’s a...I’m not sure what it is yet. I’m not sure what it is. It’s an extrapolated short story. It’s still too disorganized. It seems like a film. It seems like a film but I have to whittle— You know the word? I have to cut it down, cut it down. So I’m trying to make sense of what it is. It’s based on a lot of notes from a lot of time, so it’s got to come down and down.

Do you like comedy or tragedy? Which do you like?

There’s no difference. I like them both. Do you mean what is my favorite? I like really funny horror stories. I like funny scary. Bride of Frankenstein, case in point. Um, it depends. I don’t have a favorite, one or the other. The mood of the day, you know? What about you? You seem like you might like tragedy more than comedy.

I like comedy.

Oh, okay.

Can you describe the Queer As Folk family members in one word?

Say it again?

Describe each Queer As Folk family member with one word.

Which family?

Queer as Folk.

But that’s not a family. Sooo, all those people? Describe them all in one word?

Audience calls out, “Each. Each one.”

Ohhhh nooooo. Let’s save that for another panel. I have to think. It’s been a long time. I might confuse them with you know, somebody else.

Okay, that was the last question. Thank you.

CLAPPING.

Gale Bilbao Convention Transcripts - Part 2



MEET AND GREET

(Gale’s words in red)
( Collapse )
All right, what is this about?

Where we—

I get it. I get it. I get it.

What’s your favorite country that you’ve been to and which one would you like to go to most, that you haven’t been to, obviously.

Um, well, I don’t know if I necessarily have a favorite. Italy kind of wins right now ‘cause it’s the most recent that I’ve seen a lot that I’ve never seen before. Um, but this city is pretty incredible, I have to say.

But you’ve been here. Where would you like to go?

I would like to go to St. Petersburg. Yeah.

You said that sometime you would like to go to India?

I would love to, yeah. I don’t really know that much about India. It would be an absolute learning experience. I mean, I would like to go everywhere. I can’t say that I know enough about India to even be able to appreciate it. Before I would go there, I would have to sit down and do a lot of research to understand it more.

Have you been to Greece?

To Greece? No, I’d love to go to Greece.

It’s a beautiful, beautiful country. I mean it’s so nice, so charming.

And what do you think of small countries like Slovenia?

LAUGHTER.

Um, I would like to see it all. I would like to see it all. I would like to go to Slovenia. I would like to go to Romania. I would really like to go to Romania a lot. Um, so I do like the small countries. Yeah.

Gale, when you get a sсript, what’s the sort of thing that hooks you when you read a sсript?

The color of the paper.

LAUGHTER.

Um, I think currently the thing that’s interesting is how much can be said in the least amount of time. What I’m trying to say is how rapidly things develop, almost before you know what’s going to happen next. And I guess that has to be a factor of how precise the writing is and that doesn’t mean big writing. That’s a skill that’s kind of mysterious to me. It’s how you’re in the fifth or sixth or tenth page and there’s already something really, really happening. ‘Cause I mean, I think like a lot of people who read scripts and try to understand, you get programmed in a way by conventions and styles and you kind of get hypnotized by the style and it’s really easy if you’re reading the same stylistic approach. You just fall asleep in it quickly.

And so I think that now the thing that’s most impressive is when something is really minimalist and simple but fast, and fast in that you can get wrapped up in the characters or the action or the setting. It doesn’t take any effort, you know?

I do know. I remember reading a book and—

(There’s an interruption when someone hands him a tablet)

Can you give me five dollars?

(he’s interrupted because someone doesn’t understand what he’s saying)

She doesn’t understand me? Okay, we’re gonna watch a youtube video of Rachel Kushner’s The Flamethrowers at 365 South Mission Road in Los Angeles on the day of.... When was that, two years ago? Pauses. This is all in Russian!

LAUGHTER.

Are you guys cool if I watch this for a second?

Yes.

He plays the video.

Okay, here’s the game. The first person who hears five-foot pepper shaker.... You hear it?

No.

You didn’t hear what was going on? This is what you’re listening to.

That was a reading of The Flamethrowers?

It was a reading of a scene from The Flamethrowers. It was a reading of a scene from a dinner party. That’s why we’re all around the table as if we’re at a dinner party.

And you’re part of it?

I was reading one of the parts, yeah. Oh, and there’s my friend Josh. This guy right in the middle is Josh Garza. He plays drums for a band called the Electric Flower Group. He’s a very brutal human being. So anyway, I think I’ll cut to the chase. We’re trying to find someone saying something about a five-foot pepper shaker. And that’s not gonna happen right now. Watch it, it’s pretty funny.

Is there a plan to make it a movie?

There is a plan, yeah.

Will you be in it?

Probably not.

Ron?

Ronny? What about Ronny? Ronny Montrose?

Yes, it’s your role?

Yeah, that would be cool. No, but in this I wasn’t reading Ron. I was reading Burdemorre. Ronny’s the best.

I know.

That’s a great book, if you guys haven’t read it yet. There’s also...she released a book of short stories called ”The Strange Case of Rachel K.” That’s good, too. It’s great actually. It’s something she wrote before she wrote that book.

Have you done more readings like that?

No, I’ve never done anything like that. That was very cool. Her friend who has a gallery in Los Angeles, who’s a really good painter, she put that together as just sort of a celebration for the book being published. So she had a bunch of people come around to read it. It was fun because everyone who was there wasn’t an actor. There were some musicians, there were some writers, there were some actors, uh, some sculptors. I think there was a mathematician there. But it was just sort of an excuse to get together and drink wine. It was very cool.

It’s a very interesting way to introduce something to people. I wish that it had been— If I were to do that again, if I were to have anything to do with it (and I think they will do it) they’ll make the cameras clearer and a little bit more positioned so that you could—‘cause they were tracking with a hand shot and so people were getting lost in the— You couldn’t see who was talking when they’re— and the sound’s not great. You can’t hear everyone’s voice. The actor who was reading Sandro was very close to the microphone so you could really hear. And that part we were just listening to, when it got very loud, that was a pre-recorded piece because that’s what he did. He had a reel-to-reel cassette machine where he would record all these monologues and he would sit, the character would listen to himself, talk to himself over and over again. Um, so, that’s about as much as I have to say about that.

I saw you in a trailer for a book. Is that a new trend and would you want to do more of them?

A trailer for....

[otona1987]

A book. It wasn’t a movie.

Oh, that was something my friend, Shirley got hired to do. That’s a new thing that publishing companies— They’re making active trailers. You know because it’s more and more difficult to distribute books.

And if the filmmaker, if the person who’s making it is interesting and has a— That’s what’s, that’s one of the things that’s pretty fascinating about it. If you wrote a book, or let’s say you write the book. I’m gonna publish your book. I need to get it to the market. I need to get people to know what it’s about, to get excited about it. It’s a good medium to use because you know, you can shoot something really high quality in five hours and put it on youtube. And it’s just a slice. You introduce a few of the characters.

And they gave her enough freedom to— She’s done a few of those now and it’s becoming a trend where, I can’t remember, this was awhile ago, but um, talk about other artists whether they’re filmmakers or photographers, or other writers making trailers for other people. So it’s sort of a free, open content. But it’s risky for the publisher because if they hire someone— They have full dis— They can kill her if they want to. They don’t have to release it if they don’t like it. She’s done a few of those.

I like to read anyway.

You like to what?

I like to read anyway.

That’s good!

Gale, you did a thing at the National Theater with Olivia D’Abo. Could you talk a little about that? ‘Cause I really liked it.

Yeah, that was an attempt to— The project was created by a woman named Sarah Baker and it was a really fantastical, very soap-operatic thing that she was working on, sort of based on the world of Jackie Collins and seventies high fashion. There was something in there she was working on that was about the woman who murdered her husband in the Gucci family. But it was really kind of absurdist over the top.

But what they were doing at the National, they were trying to figure out how to live shoot, a stage performance with a live edit so they had three cameras and these screens and they were trying to— They’re doing that more, you know? The National films all their big plays, and they send them all around the world. But the technicians at that performance were trying— They’re still trying to perfect it.

And Sarah got involved. She submitted that as a piece to a workshop and that’s sort of what that was. We were...we had a sсript that we learned, but then we were somewhat improvising and then we were taking our cues off of camera signals that you couldn’t see. The cameras had lights on them like old-style live television where, when the camera lit, that was the camera that was featuring so you had to adjust your positioning. It was pretty frantic, and it didn’t really work. But it was fun just to do the process. And someday, hopefully, they’ll sort it out and they’ll— I think they’re still accepting submissions for plays like that and that one was— I think they really liked that one because it was very over the top, you know. So no matter where the camera was shooting, the chances were that you were going to capture someone making an ass of themselves. Which is good for the audience.

Yeah, because it is a challenge trying to bring live drama to the screen. Up until now, it’s never quite worked. So finding a way to do that effectively would be amazing.

Well, the thing that— They try to get around that by making it more confusing. In other words, it’s pretty verite, because depending on where the camera points, you’re sitting there, you’re watching the stage but you’re also watching screens. So, what this person’s doing on stage is being reacted to by this screen so the person this person is talking to is on that screen so you’re watching them, but you’re watching them because that person’s talking to that real person but that real person is on the screen and that person’s reaction may be being reacted to by someone on this side of the stage which is on that screen. So it becomes so muddled that if the play supports it, if that’s how it should be, then it’s either great or its horrible. But either way, it’s interesting because it’s so confusing. You don’t get bored.

And that’s part of it, too. Trying to blow that open, you know? It’s attention deficit disorder, right? Like can you look at that? Can you look at that? Can you listen to that? Can you hear that? And can you make sense of it? So then the challenge really is for writer and the director: Can you make something? Like, did you see that? So Orlando Seal, who is like the real big—he was like the salesman. He came in the middle and was trying to pitch it. He really has...he has a great talent for doing that kind of work. You know his primary...he’s primarily a musician. But he’s a really well-trained actor, too. So he can really drive it. You had to have someone inside to drive all that. And Olivia’s so over the top, that when he breaks off and she goes into her thing, it’s kind of about getting the audience lost. It’s like a rabbit trail, like a scavenger hunt. You stay on it.

But at least they’re engaged.

Yeah, over-engagement, hyper-engagement, which is how you get away from this. (Pause) You guys ever hear of a five-foot pepper shaker?

LAUGHTER.

Grinder, not a pepper shaker. A five-foot pepper grinder. Well, I think that was the point. More hyper-engagement.

A question asked about Thirst and mentions that Gale was killed.

Killed? I didn’t die in that.

Oh, Kiss Me, Kill Me.

Ah!

It was a film that you died.

That was the point, though. I appreciate that, though. Thank you. But he had to die. If he didn’t die, the story wouldn’t have happened.

Okay, so now we have to go. Thank you, Gale.

Gale Bilbao Convention Transcripts - Part 3


SPECIAL PANEL

(Gale’s words in red)

(Moderator’s words in blue)

(Audience members’ words in black)

( Collapse )

(problem with the microphone) It was on when I gave it to you. Okay? Good. Okay, so we have a few games planned, okay? In the morning you wrote some questions and put them in the box. So I believe Gale has chosen some of these questions.

Hmm?

I believe you chose some of these questions, yes?

Mm-hmm

Okay. So do you have one? Can you read it out to us, the question?

Okay. There’s a Russian saying that a five-foot pepper grinder—

LAUGHTER

Really?

—was on the table and you can’t see it. So how do you know it’s there?

Does it really say that?

It’s in Russian. I don’t know how to say it in Russian.

Okay, maybe you want to try another one then?

Okay, there’s a Russian saying about friends that you must eat a bushel of salt before you can call a person a friend. Alain Delon said that a friend is that person who I can call at night and say that I’ve killed a person and the friend will just ask ‘where is the dead body’?

Okay, then. That’s a very strange question. Not a definition.

What is your definition? So I guess your choices are salt or murder.

Okay, so does anyone have a question? So who asked that question? Would you like to come up on stage?

You have to.

Okay, so now he has to ask you the question.

Okay, there’s a Russian saying about friends that you must eat a bushel of salt before you can call a person a friend. Alain Delon said that a friend is that person who I can call at night and say that I’ve killed a person and the friend will just ask ‘where is the dead body’? What is your definition?

My definition of friend is a person I can just be myself with.

Okay. (pause) Okay.

LAUGHTER.

Here’s a little present for you for participating.

It’s full of salt.

Would you like to open it and show everyone?

(Opens the bag)

And there’s something inside as well.

(rustle of paper) Collective ‘awwww.’

Now you‘ll never lose your cup because you can have a new keychain on it.

To our guest, thank you.

LAUGHTER AND CLAPPING.

Do you have a second question for us, please?

There is a Russian saying about friends that you must eat a bushel of salt.... Um, if you fell into the rabbit hole, would you prefer to be the Mad Hatter, the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat or Barack Obama, oh the March Hare?

Okay, so your question, would you like to come up here?

Do we need a translation so everyone can understand it? I know that in Spanish, rabbit is conejo. Conejo is rabbit, si?

Question is repeated in Spanish and Gale also tries to say it in Spanish.

My question and your answer?

I don’t have to. You have to answer. Remember she said she’s turning it around?

I didn’t think I would have to answer it.

Now you know how it feels! Okay!

LAUGHTER.

I think the Cheshire Cat.

Why? Porqué? Perché? There’s going to be a war between the Spanish and Italians.

You give cryptic answers and I would like to give those answers myself.

Cryptic answers only make sense. I love that. Does anyone know the origin, or maybe I should ask you, do you know what the Cheshire Cat was based on?

No.

Does anybody know?

No.

I think he was actually, I think he was.... That character was based on some real person. Anyone know this?

Audience members call out different names and ask if he means the movie or the book.

In the book. I don’t, I don’t— I think when he was writing the book, he based that animal on someone specific. It was maybe in Parliament or something, or someone who was a liar or a— He was always saying one thing and meaning the other. I don’t remember. But I like the Cheshire Cat.

Thank you, guest.

CLAPPING

Okay, you have one more, please.

Okay, uh... (Asks a question in Spanish) I can’t really ask that, can I?

Um, okay, so translation in English as well: Talent or effort-which do you consider to be the most important as an actor and with limits as an actor, what would you not do? The problem is that you can’t really turn this question around unless you want to give your opinion on this.

Who made this question? You did? (Points to audience member). Would you like to come up? In English or Spanish, whatever you prefer. Spanish? Okay.

(Gives the answer in Spanish.)

If she was an actress, a combination of both because one without the other wouldn’t really work. And what about what would you not be capable of doing?

I don’t know.

That’s a strong answer because if you don’t know what you can’t do, that means you can do anything, right?

Yeah, maybe. Okay, we’re going to go on to our second game. This is a drawing game, okay? So the people here, come up on stage, you’ll take the paper and you’ll draw something, and Gale’s going to guess what it is. First of all, raise your hand if you would like to come up stage and draw. Come on. You can draw something now if you want. Raise your hand and Gale’s going to choose somebody, okay?

Okay, do this, everybody who wants to come up on stage raise your hand and make a number from one to five. And I’m going to raise my hand and make a number from one to five. And whoever matches my number.... But if two match?

We’re going to choose three people anyway. Raise your hand if you want to come up and draw. Gale, would you like to choose someone?

You choose.

I’m choosing, really? They might not like it if I do that.

Well, that’s why I’m letting you do it.

Okay, raise your hand and make a number. Don’t change it. No cheating.

Does everyone have a number up?

Everyone shouts ‘yes.’

How many hands are up?

Um, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight people.

Okay, and they raised one hand, right?

Yes, from one to five. Turns to Gale. “Three?”

How many have three?

Five. What are you doing to us?

Of those three....

Of those five....

Choose another number. Switch it up.

Choose a different number.

All right now?

Yes. (Looks at Gale.) It’s a three? Nobody.

LAUGHTER

Okay one more time. One more time.

Those five people okay—

—will choose.

The same five people put your hands up. Choose a number once more. Okay. Go— One. How many do we have?

Audience calls out ‘two.’

Two ones. Okay, those two. We’re going to start with you. Okay, let’s see it. One at a time, and Gale, you have to guess. Film.

E.T.

Well done! E.T. Thank you very much! You want to come up now?

The second person starts drawing.

Airplane. Hang glider.

Well done! Okay, so we need one more person now. Once again, raise your hand if you want to come up on the stage and choose a number. Who wants to come on the stage? A lot of people.

Okay, whose name begins with Z?

No one? W? Someone who wants to come on the stage, of course.

Um, U?

You’re not doing very well here, Gale.

B....R.

Seriously? No one?

L.

Would you like to come up?

Okay.

CLAPPING

Okay.

Lawrence of Arabia. Hung Indians?

So what is it, Gale?

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

CLAPPING

Thank you! Okay, we’re moving on. Some more.

Okay.

[otona1987]

So you probably have something in the bag. So you’re going to say two lies and a truth. And they’re going raise their hands and they’re gonna see if they guess which one is the truth.

Okay.

Two lies and a truth. Okay, so think about that.

I don’t know what I’m going to say. I know what I’m going to say. I lie a lot.

LAUGHTER

Okay, please repeat them one more time.

I don’t know what I’m going to say. I know what I’m going to say. I lie a lot.

(Repeated in Spanish)

So raise your hand if you think you know which is the truth. Gale, do you want to point to someone? Okay, so which is the truth or the lie?

That you lie.

That you lie. Is that the truth, Gale? See how that works? Okay, the next one: “I don’t know what I’m going to say.” “I lie” is the truth. She’s guessing.

I don’t know the answer.

You shouldn’t do that. It’s your game.

LAUGHTER

Let’s try this again. Give three statements.

Okay.

Okay?

Okay. I’ll try.

Two statements—

Yeah....

—that are lies.

Okay.

They can be about anything. Two statements that are lies.

Yeah.

And one statement is the truth.

Okay.

Okay? So let’s start again.

Oh, God, umm.... I really like this game. I really, really like this game. I don’t like this game.

LAUGHTER

So which is the truth? Choose someone.

You.

You don’t like this game. So it’s true?

I didn’t understand the game the first time around.

But you understand now, right?

Not really.

LAUGHTER

Okay, you want to do another one? Gale, are you ready? Two lies and a truth.

I had my spine replaced last week.

Had what? Sorry?

Had my spine replaced.

Your spine replaced.

A spinal transplant.

Okay. (Repeats it in Spanish)

It itches.

(repeated in Spanish) What itches?

I had a spinal transplant. It itches. Because they accidentally connected a tail.

LAUGHTER

(Repeated in Spanish)

Tails are itchy.

Raise your hands.

It itches.

LAUGHTER

You see me scratch my tail?

So what was the truth then?

There was no truth.

Who said that? How did you know?

So basically you lied about everything.

I lied about everything.

You want to try it again, then? Because we have these, you know, giveaways.

Okay. Um...

One truth, please.

One truth.

And two lies.

Okay. Uh, I broke my toe. I fixed it myself. And it still hurts. It’s all about the surgery.

(Asks audience) So which is the truth?

I think it still hurts.

I did break my toe. I didn’t fix it myself. And it still hurts.

So you did two truths this time.

LAUGHTER

Okay, you can come up here and get your prize.

You get an E for effort. Congratulations.

Okay, we’re gonna go to the last game, okay. This is a mystery sack. So there are some presents in the sack and some of you can come on stage, put your hand in the sack, say what the object is and then you can keep it, okay? So put your hand up if you’d like to come up and play this game with us. Okay, put your hand in and then say what it is.

A cup.

Yes it is! Well done. Okay. Thank you. Let’s go for another one. Gale, would you like to choose the second person? Come on up. Yes? Close your eyes. So what is it?

A notebook?

You want to pull it out? Very good. It’s a notebook. Thank you. We’re gonna do one more. The last one, okay? Gale? Close your eyes please. Okay, take it out. It’s a spoon but there is, instead of the spoon you get something different, okay. It’s sort of a strange present. There you go. How many more things are in there?

There’s— A spoon is a strange present.

Okay, anyone else? Put your hand in the sack. What is it? More specifically?

A coaster or mat.

How many more things are in there?

Three more.

Hands up.

All right, everybody ready? I’ll give you another chance to guess. Since I screwed up the questions before.

It’s an earring. It’s not.... It’s a key ring.

Thank you. Hands? Two more things. Hands up!

Another person goes up and guesses – a necklace.

It is! Well done! And the last one, I believe. Hands up. Let’s try someone who hasn’t been up. Put your hand up if you want to come to the stage and you have not got a present yet. Okay, so we’ve got two hands up.

Okay.

Okay, no cheating.

A magnet.

It is. Well done. Muy bien. Okay, thank you. Before we finish, we’ll do one last thing, okay? Gale, would you like to get off the stage for a minute? We’ll stand you here, okay? Every person in the room is going to get a little gift. So if you’ll come up in a line, we’ll pass one of these to each person, okay? So help me create a line over here on this side, and once you get your gift from Gale, you can then exit through the door.

Gale Bilbao Convention Transcripts - Part 4


BRUNCH

(Gale’s words in red)

Okay, brunch time!

You barely made it in time because we were taking a picture. We were so tempted by the sweets.

Have it. Have it.

We go for coffee, only coffee these days to stay awake.

God, yeah. I had four, six espressos today.

You don’t get a stomachache?

Sometimes. I just, after, I mean, I was there from 4am just not going to sleep. So I went out and walked around and by the time I got back, then it was about 9 o’clock, and I really started to fall. But rely on caffeine.

If I drink coffee before I go to bed, it doesn’t have any effect. I would be very happy if it did.

Yeah, some people can drink caffeine and then go straight to sleep. I can’t do that.

And I drink Italian coffee. That is stronger.

Do you know Daniel Mays?

Yeah.

Do you know him personally?

Yeah, yeah.

How did you...?

He’s really one of the best at his age. Now I saw him do um, the Jez Butterworth.... Um, it’s not.... What’s the name? I’m having one of those moments in extreme terms but I can’t.... It’s not Mambo, it’s....

Mojo. I saw that one.

Yeah, Mojo. It was what, a year and a half ago?

A year and a half ago and—

His rival was Ben Whishaw.

And before that, I saw him at the Donmar. It was a new play, The Same Deep Water As me. It was about an insurance guy.

When was that?

I think it was two years ago, and I’ve seen now a couple of weeks ago, The Red Lion, you know this new play about football.

Yeah, yeah. He’s the manager, right? I wanted to see that. I read about that.

It’s really great. It’s very funny and it’s one of those things that there’s a lot of jokes and everything. It’s very, very good.

I’m trying to remember something else.... What’s the film, there was a Mike Leigh film....

There was a movie I saw, Made in Dagenham....

Yeah, that’s the one I was thinking of. Sally Hawkins.

That’s a really nice movie.

I’ll have to keep that in mind.

It’s about a woman fighting for rights.

He also does a part in.... He’s the guy they think or they try to blame for the murders in the Red Riding Trilogy. That’s really good. It’s three...it’s a triptych. There’s three different seasons of it. But it’s about a serial killer, I think. It’s about the Yorkshire River. So he’s this— His character, the character he plays, is really.... He’s borderline psychotic, and he’s in this mental hospital and they try— The cops are all corrupted and they’re protecting the guy who’s actually killing all these women, and they try and pin it on him. And he can’t figure out why they think he’s— He doesn’t even really understand. He can’t comprehend what they’re accusing him of. It’s really good. Really good.

Have you ever seen Father Ted?

I’ve only seen bits and pieces of it.

Yeah. It’s hilarious. It’s about three priests on an Irish island in the middle of nowhere.

What do you think about the remake of La Dolce Vita? Ambi pictures—

The remake of....?

Ambi Pictures plan to remake La Dolce Vita.

Ahhh. I heard that’s not happening.

It’s not happening?

I heard that’s not happening. I heard that was just—

But they bought the rights?

Well, Ambi Pictures is buying a lot of stuff. They’re building their library. It’s a very young company, so they’re having to— But they’re really ambitious.

But I think it’s also really a big risk and responsibility to do a remake of such a cult movie.

When I first heard that, it was interesting to hear. I was a little bit puzzled that they would.... I mean, yeah, it’s.... I think that what they did was they used the acquisition to the rights to the film to announce they were buying the library. And I think just to be respectful of the fact that the lady’s family was willing to acknowledge that they had rights if they wanted to, they could. They had to just be respectful. But I don’t think they’re gonna do that. I don’t think they’re gonna do that.

The only reason that I say ‘I don’t think’ is because I heard from someone that they were told it’s not going to happen. Because after they bought the rights to that film, they bought a huge library, maybe a month ago. They’re buying a lot of films. ‘Cause I know that their hope is to build their own sort of smallish studio and expand.

But would you have liked to be part of the remake if it took place?

Only Italians can play in that film.

LAUGHTER

There are some movies that it would really be a sin to remake. I don’t know. Maybe I’m wrong. I’m not speaking necessarily about La Dolce Vita. Some movies are just so perfect as they are.

Unless you’ve got something new to say about the story....

Yeah, but then what do you do, the following up?

Yes, exactly.

But then ... I don’t know.

The only reason that you could get away with doing a film like that, not specifically that film, but a film like that, I would think is that your intention was to completely deconstruct it and tear it apart. And that was your intention.

Yes, it is something completely different.

And he’s the kind of filmmaker that you can find things in his film that you could tear it apart. But you’d have to be so good at putting it back together. Either way, it’s like a—It’s a fool’s errand. You’re gonna do it. You’re gonna do it, but you’re gonna probably get wiped out but....

There is also some other movie I’m looking forward to seeing next month.

High Rise.

Yeah, me, too.

There was the premiere last week in—

They screened it in San Sebastian. The day that I got here I ran into some guys at the hotel who had just come back down and they were very, very upset because they missed it. They weren’t able to see it.

Do you prefer going to the cinema or do you prefer watching movies at home?

[otona1987]

I like both. Depends, you know?

Some movies are better at the cinema.

For the screen size, definitely.

Sometimes not for the people.

Yeah, well that’s the thing, That’s why they’re made in the first place, to bring— I mean that’s why theater exists to bring people together somehow.

Yeah, yeah. It’s just sometimes when people are really loud when you’re watching a movie, sometimes it can get a little bit.... But still the feeling of being in the cinema, it’s good in a way.

And sometimes it can be amazing. I’m of the generation that I can remember going to see Star Wars when it first came out. And sitting in the cinema watching that movie with a whole bunch of other people and everyone is going on that journey together and so absorbed, the energy was just incredible. At the end of the movie, everybody was so psyched. That was a special experience, to share it.

Yeah.

It’s like doing something you love with many other people even if they’re strangers you’re still looking together with something you like.

Exactly. Like being in a football game rather than watching it on tv.

Or like a concert.

Yeah.

I have to tell you, today is Totti’s birthday.

Today is Totti’s birthday?

Yeah, it is his birthday today.

He scored his 300th goal last week, right?

Yes! But this was...he was not so happy because I think there was something not so regular or they told him it was not so regular so he didn’t feel so happy.

Yeah, what was it? What was it?

I don’t know. They thought he was off-side.

Oh, okay. When I was in Rome, it was incredible how many pictures of Totti I saw. Everywhere. Every little corner, every little place.

They feel really strong about him because he’s from Rome. His team was always Rome. He played only in Rome, and he’s stayed in Rome even though they asked him from other teams.

Do you say in English, cause in Italian we say that uh, in this case, he is the ‘flag’ of the team. Something like that. Something that represents....

Yes, the representative. Sometimes they can be even more famous than the Pope.

Yeah, yeah.

But that’s why so few people stay with the same team for their career that they are called their team.

Buffon’s like that. He came up but once he joined, he stayed. Which is just as admirable, you know?

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, those two guys....

They really showed their attachment to the team.

Both he and Del Piero could have gone to any team in the world if they wanted to and they went back. That was pretty incredible.

We are talking about football at the table, of all things.

LAUGHTER

I have a question.

Go ahead.

You won’t like it. About The Lock. We really got to know Miller Spence last year and he promised updates.

Got to know who?

Miller Spence. You remember the guy?

Oh, Miller. Yeah, I couldn’t understand what you were saying. Okay. I didn’t know what you were saying.

Sorry.

Sounded like Millicent.

He promised us an update. Why did it say that?

Because that— The whole beginning and words have now— It’s ... I don’t want to, I don’t want to compromise any of that and if I start to give updates, I’m gonna have to make things up that don’t really exist and then I’m gonna have to follow through with that.

But you could say working on it or ended it? I don’t know. Something.

No, there’s no end. There’s no end.

But we don’t know that.

Well, that’s part of it. That’s part of it. I mean, there are things that I support that I have no idea about, and I may never know. But that’s part of the deal. That’s part of the deal.

I think it was even written on the first Kickstarter that it was just the writing. The movie might take awhile.

And to be quite honest, I can’t actually talk about where it’s at now because of certain things that can’t be mentioned from a legal standpoint. And that’s all I’m gonna say about that.

Still, it would be nice to say you’re working on it.

I can’t say it! I can say it to you. I can say it like this, but I can’t put—

Okay.

I can’t publish it. I can’t put it online.

Okay, okay.

That’s, that’s over a line I’ve only learned that I’m not allowed to step over, and I’m not taking— And if I do that, it’s never gonna get made. And that would be a lawsuit, a legal situation. That’s not where I wanna go. So my hands are somewhat tied. Unfortunately, that’s how these things work.

So is Shirley still working on Adoptable?

She’s gonna shoot it, I think. She’s a full-time machinist now. She’s got a whole other life. She’s really crazy good. She’s making, she’s building, um she’s building furniture and building installations for artists and she’s become a very talented welder.

I’ve seen some of her work. It’s beautiful.

Yeah, she and the guy that she— She started working with this guy who had his own shop and she’s sort of become his partner. She’s actually, almost doing more than he’s doing now because he got into a bad motorcycle accident. So while he was recovering, she took everything over. And she’s so smart. She learns so quickly and she’s so motivated and she loves working. She’s an absolute gearhead. I see her once a month and she’s got another machine that she’s turned into a monster that she’s trying to control.

Thank you, Gale.

Take care.

Bye.

I hope you understand what I was saying about The Lock though.

Yes, I do.

My lips are kind of sealed. But it’s not going away.

Thank you!

And the center of the entire story, I have to— We’re figuring out how to get around because it’s something that you’ve all seen as clips of our story. So we have to figure a new way.

I had the pleasure to see pages of the sсript you shared, and I liked it very much. The little glimpse of it, it’s really interesting.

That will remain. But it’s what’s after the center of the story that has to change so it’s like a domino effect. Everything falls down, and you have to figure a way to put it back together. Unfortunately—

That’s the reason I’m looking forward to hearing news.

Well, don’t give up.

[Лори333]

а про кроличью нору чота ни слова Кинвад сгладила или у народа были глюки?

[otona1987]

Я так поняла, что эпопея с Lock не закончена, и нам дана надежда, что когда-нибудь... Ну, вы поняли

[Лори333]

juliamay,

он уже так посылает нахуй

а то! I put the owls in

скамейка один день работы одна сцена и собирали под него бабки

[Лори333]

otona1987,

нам дана надежда, что когда-нибудь... Ну, вы поняли

ага, но уже со свиньями, а не с совами

[juliamay]

мне понравилось как он огрызался на тетку с Локом на мите, но пришел в себя и сгладил конфуз

[juliamay]

Лори333, а чем свиньи хужее сов?

[koricayu]

juliamay, таг не летают....но у них есть пословица вроде нашей-когда рак на горе свистнет,ток там-когда свиньи начнут летать...примерно)))))) тагшта,если эт было сказано в связи с Локом,боюсь и увидим мы его,когда хрюши в стаи начнут собирацца))))))

Высотку пайдет смотреть, ну и мы тож

[Salliy]

спасибо тем. кто потратил столько времени на отчёт, мне читать пока лень, самое интересное уже рассказали..
про Лок, конечно, он здорово придумал сказать, что ничего нельзя говорить прям незаконно даже думать и отчитываться о продвижении дел.. ссыкло да сказал бы давно - не ждите, ничего не будет. Мы вот уже сами догадались, сделали работу за него, логически завершили эту тему, мог бы к нам присоединиться

Скукотища конечно на коне.. да и чего было ожидать, если говорить не о чем, 10 лет об одном и том же

[juliamay]

Слуште но если бы он чуток переставил флажки, можно было даже поржать над той же бессоницей, типо Гелыч ну постучался бы к вам в номера никто бы был не против, тетки бы оживились, тоже завязали шутки, ну такая стерильность до усрачки, говорят Сомхолдера даже ругали за похабность и фривольность на конах, тут же просто Генштаб у Сталина в декабре 1941 года
