   Joseph Nebus to All   
   9 October 2007 - Mark Wahlberg, Robbie   
   10 Oct 07 23:11:49   
   
   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   Mark Wahlberg:   
   	- The audience is threatening.   
   	   
   	- Not a Yankees crowd.  They're both from Boston.  He was   
   teasing a Yankees fan by pretending he didn't care whether the Yankees   
   won, claiming, they have the Patriots now.  Plus there's the dread of   
   Red Sox playing the Yankees.   
   	   
   	- He liked Wahlberg's character in 'The Departed' for being   
   annoying in a Bostonian way.  Wahlberg didn't know it was uniquely   
   Boston.  The tough-talking cop was based on his mother.  She always   
   reminds him he's not cooler than other people.   
   	   
   	- His new show's based loosely on his own entourage, though some   
   stuff couldn't be on TV, particularly as he plans to deny until he dies.   
    Is the rivalry phase his character has something he went through?  It   
   was.  For example his very first $100,000 paycheck from a recording   
   contract, he bought a $100,000 car and couldn't afford insurance.   
   	   
   	- These days an 'Entourage' show about him would be more a   
   Disney production.   
   	   
   	- He started out as Marky Mark; do people still want him to   
   sing?  He knows it from the drumroll of ``Good Vibrations''; it's not as   
   annoying as it used to be.  A friend of his got a three-song example   
   from his demo, but then after that they tried pulling him up.  In the   
   right situation -- don't get any ideas (``Hit it!'')   
   	   
   	- He's been training about a year, an hour and a half a day five   
   days a week, for his boxing character part.  He learned to fight from   
   his mother early on.  But he really took the hits.  'Rocky' looks a bit   
   staged these days.   
   	   
   	- Joaquin Phoenix was here last night yet the studio is still   
   here.  He may get nuts like asking Robert Duvall if he's had his 150th   
   birthday yet in order to get Duvall to act genuinely angry (I hope).   
   It's supposed to be a contentious relationship in the film.   
      
      
   Robbie The Shameless Kiss-Krunk   
   	- The guy pulled out his cell phone, and he's there checking his   
   messages.  'You wouldn't pull out your phone in church, would you?   
   Well, this is a church of comedy and Conan is leading the mass.'   
   	   
   	He's shameless.  'Flattering!  (Is this [ hot dog ] filet   
   mignon?  'Cause it could be!)  Groveling! (You guys [ bathroom   
   attendants ]  are the real heroes!)  Fawning!  ([ Trump Tower ] is   
   tasteful!)  Suck-Up! (Another great day, God!)'   
   	   
   	- And so on.  His emergency medical technicians are great.  The   
   studio audience is the greatest.  He's not so much a fan of the show,   
   but the studio audience is the greatest.
