Question of the day
How fucking cool is Christopher Walken?
A few years ago, I was working for a publishing company. We needed a foreword writer for a book. Wife suggested Chris Walken, who was vaguely appropriate. My boss thought that it was worth a stab so she contacted his agent. Walken agreed to do the foreword, and he supplied it typewritten with deletions made in a black marker. His covering note said something to the effect of, "If you can't use it, I understand." Doesn't that seem like a down-to-earth, modest guy?
Somewhere in the house I still have that original typewritten foreword; my boss gave it to me at the end of the project, knowing I was a fan and that otherwise she probably would have binned it.

can i be honest and admit that sometimes he scares the shit out of me?
OMG!!..I was thinking of posting something about him today ..
My favourite movie at the moment is Man on Fire.( It's just so fucking satisfying!!).and i love his part in it ..he's just so regular..even if he is eerie looking as hell
Christopher Walken is cool and you piece of memorabilia is something to cherish.
He be the coolest. Have made a VCD of his Weapon of Choice appearance - it is Favourite Daughters ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE. She laughs all the way through. To hear a three-year-old refer to Walken as 'that funny man' defies all that we know about the world.
Very cool. He's fantastic in The Deer Hunter and I love the scene in Pulp Fiction where talks about sticking a 'watch up his ass'. Genius.
Pretty damn cool. I love that ... "if you can't use it, I understand." It's like what I feel like putting at the end of all of my blog posts.
Have a look at his website. He wants to run for president. How fucking scarey would that be? Wow. I would vote for him.
He da man, and I'm glad everyone agrees!
RD, I'm not sure he's running for prez. I have a feeling that's someone else's wishful thinking... Having said that, there's more info on that site today than there was yesterday, I think...
Would it be cool? I dunno. Ultimately, don't we all end up hating our leaders?
oh he has a web site?
He is so awesome so many little things I can think of as death in Madonna video, in FatBoy Slim video! He aparently has a device or superstition that he has a dance for all his characters, sometimes it makes it into the movie sometimes not.
Very cool paraphrenaia you have I hope you frame that it is so cool an object!
He was in s sketch on SNL once I think it might have been called Cougar where he oh no it's a census sketch where a census guy comes to his door it's so crazy funny...I've watched it dozens of times downloaded some where...
the phrase "Cool as fuck" doesn't even come close.
Candy: I have to find it again before I can frame it...
TL: Damn right!
a fan since deerhunter. Very very cool.
weres is website?
what did his foreword say?
And, more crucially, what did he delete?
BB: It was a foreword about his cat, for a book about cats. I don't remember his deletions, and I don't know what I've done with the original. I know it's here somewhere. And I also have a backup photocopy, but I don't know where that is either. Moving house really fucks things up!
