Today’s “Daily Bizcard”, “I’m Not Getting”, goes to movie-celeb-turned-Twitter-celeb, Ashton Kutcher.
This is a colorized version of a cartoon I once gave to my old friend, Lee Thomas, the guy who pretty much single-handedly brought Web 2.0 geekery to the British film industry. He works for Simon “Shaun Of The Dead” Pegg’s production company these days…
The film business is a funny old thing. Imagine a large pyramid scheme with a few rock stars like Ashton or Quentin Tarantino on the top, with HUGE LEGIONS of slave labor/waiters on the bottom, with a thin layer of weird-ass, paranoid “Neither/Nor’s” separating the two.This is just as true in London as it is in Hollywood.
Even at his level, well… Ashton wasn’t always famous, he too was a member of the “HUGE LEGIONS” at one point, so he should be able to relate to the cartoon. Rock on.
[Ashton, we’ll be in touch soon via [email protected] to collect your details for the back of the card, so we can print & ship a free box of 100 to you etc. Thanks!]
Oh lord… I wish this was available as a print.
you have a wickedly lovely sense of humor. i wish you lived close to sacramento, ca, i’d invite you to join me on one of my nights out to the club, we’d have a blast. lol!
This captures my feelings completely. As someone trying to break into the “business” I keep asking myself if I’m sure I want to do business with “those people”. Yes, I do.
