Jeffery Catzenberg Takes a Meeting

by Not That Mike The Other Mike on July 9, 2008

"First, call DiCaprio and tell him he’s perfect for the part of young Ben Franklin.  Then, call the Props Department and get me the biggest WWII dirigible they got.  And tell the writer we need to cut the Roman orgy sequence if we want that PG-13 rating."

Hang on, I've got NTMTOM Cruise on line five.

I’ll have my people text your people, Joelle.

all those components would make for quite an interesting movie!

2 eikoleigh 07.09.08 at 5:18 pm

so cute…so professional!

3 Metz 07.09.08 at 5:20 pm

aww, she’s deep in thot isn’t she?
I’ll bet she’s figuring out how soon she can entice Angelina Jolie back to work.

4 Theo 07.09.08 at 5:21 pm

Other Mike — re: hover — do you *really* want to associate yourself with Wacktacular Scientology Boy of Epic Sexual Insecurity?

5 Theo 07.09.08 at 5:26 pm

…Planet Unicorn, heyyy.

6 ThreeCatNight 07.09.08 at 5:32 pm

That’s “Leonardo Di CATPRIO” to you! And have my humans call your humans!
Kiss, kiss, and purr, purr!
Ciao!

Working film title: “All About the Benjamin’s Blimps Over Bologna.”

8 Kris 07.09.08 at 5:35 pm

Clearly the plot for History of the World Part 6… NTMTOM I see you more as a NTMTOM Selleck.

9 Theo 07.09.08 at 5:42 pm

Well $#!%, Wag, I’d rent it.

In fact we could do a CO movie shindig at the CatCave’s Movie Wall. Friday night! Veggie pizza on the deck, Bleensicle Margaritas and of course Sardinis at the “wet bar” (ironing board with a tarp draped over) along with a selection of bottled beers:

So hey, what’s the other half of the double feature going to be?

10 wagthedogma 07.09.08 at 5:54 pm

Double-feature B-side? Hmmm… How about “Commander Xenu’s Revenge,” starring NTMTOM Cruise as the couch-jumping commander, and John Travolta as his loyal android sidekick, L-Ron?

Oh, and make mine a Garden Snail Pale Ale, pleez! :D

11 Erebella 07.09.08 at 6:18 pm

Oh, don’t be CATty, you can’t have a good movie without the Roman orgy scene! You know what the people want!

12 Boomer's Babysitter 07.09.08 at 6:19 pm

NTMTOM Selleck is much better…

13 Boomer's Babysitter 07.09.08 at 6:23 pm

How about foreign beers, or is this just a local phenom? Oh, that’s right, with Ben Franklin as a character, probably best stick with the domestic… In that case, reserve a Bleenside Margarita for me.

14 jmuhj 07.09.08 at 6:45 pm

Yeh, BB, tahtz gotta bii SAMYUL ADAMZ on teh alkuhol…

15 berthaservant 07.09.08 at 7:30 pm

Typical Hollywood executive, working even when he’s in bed. (Insert casting couch joke here).

I still yearn for the days of Louis B. Meower, Ir-bleen Thalberg, and of course the heyday of great studios like 20th Fennec-Fox and Baroo-mount. Oh, they had designers then!

16 BonzoGal 07.09.08 at 7:48 pm

“And where is that girl with my half-caf soy latte?!? I CANNOT WORK WITHOUT MY FARKING LATTE!!!”

17 marie_n 07.09.08 at 8:21 pm

how old is that hello-phone? looks ancient.

and what i would give to get my paws on that rolodex. imagine the connections.

that key-key is holding the pen(cil) with its opposible thumbs.

it looks more like an important appointment with dr. katz to me, but that’s just my humble opinion. maybe it should have a squiggly shaking outline.

18 lurkertype 07.09.08 at 9:31 pm

A girl named Jeffery? I guess she needed it for the biz. Nice to see calicos in the executive suite.

Oh, and DEFINITELY our poster is NTMTOM Selleck.

I’ll have a Bleengarita, Teho, kthx.

19 CG 07.09.08 at 9:46 pm

I’ll take a marmie puddin pa-sickie over here, thanks. need to fill up before the bleengaritas.

20 julie 07.09.08 at 9:49 pm

Ha ha ha. This is my cat Maude. I work from home as a journalist and she likes to bug me when I’m talking to important people.
I once had someone say “er…is that a cat purring in the background?”
so embarrassing! My sister Joelle sent this in without telling me!!

21 Gail (the first one) 07.10.08 at 3:53 am

@julie: Congratulations on having such a cute cat!! She’s looks like she’s very helpful (just like mine-LOL)!!

22 julie 07.10.08 at 4:11 am

you can’t tell from here, but Maude’s also a Kitler!

23 Em 07.10.08 at 4:18 am

Cute kitteh!! :) reminds me of one of mine when i try to read… she flops down right on the pages, demanding i stop reading and pay attention to her!
oh, and i’d much rather see a movie with NTMTOM Selleck than that other NTMTOM whos a crazy alien…
i’m just sayin :)

24 amber 07.10.08 at 5:10 am

Ok, so I know this is soo random, but I was in my kitchen eating cottage cheese tonight, and my cat is justa staring at me in the weirdest way! All I could think of was ‘this is meowzbot, give me your milks, your yarnballs..’ I was cracking myself up!

25 Hon Glad 07.10.08 at 8:19 am

Catzenberg; “Hmm, I wonder if we could get away with using a corpse, instead of Cruise? It might just work.

Theo: I’ll have a Bishops finger, or as the locals call it, Nuns delight.

[No comment. - Ed.]

26 Theresa 07.10.08 at 10:25 am

“Children’s beer”! (snort snort SNORT!!)

My grandpa thought that’s what beer *is.* :P

27 starling 07.10.08 at 12:15 pm

Cat is doing remake of Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure.

[BAD CAT! No nip for a month! And GIMME that phone... - Ed.]

28 Babs 07.10.08 at 1:17 pm

And then there’s Maude… Ya know, julie, I suspected she was a Kitler.

Hon Glad, your locals are NAUGHTY.

29 Theo 07.10.08 at 1:52 pm

Actually, Hon Glad, how about a Zappa’s Finger? (or as the London Symphony Orchestra calls it, the Baton)

30 Deckard Canine 07.10.08 at 1:58 pm

Well, I suppose it’s better than NTMTOM Sizemore….

31 Theo 07.10.08 at 3:03 pm

Ground Control to NTMTOM…
Ground Control to NTMTOM…
Take your puddin’ pills and put your Post Hat on…

32 Kris 07.10.08 at 3:14 pm

Perhaps we’ve offended him and he’d rather be likened to NTMTOM Green. [personal 'blech', but to each his own...]

33 Theo 07.10.08 at 3:19 pm

I’ll see your “blech” and raise you a “not if you paid me”.
Unless we’re talking six figures, here. I could do a lot with that.

34 Kris 07.10.08 at 3:30 pm

I’m sure!

Would you prefer NTMTOM Jones?

35 Metz 07.10.08 at 3:42 pm

Well NTMTOM-y Lee Jones wouldn’t be so bad…

36 Kris 07.10.08 at 3:55 pm

Except for the hepatitis and all… oh, OOPS! I didn’t read the JONES part! hahahahaha! Now that’s a horse of a different color!!

NTMTOM Hanks would be nice.

37 Theo 07.10.08 at 3:58 pm

You’re smokin’ today, Kris.
In the boy’s room.

38 Kris 07.10.08 at 4:00 pm

Everybody knows that smokin’ ain’t allowed in school…

39 Theo 07.10.08 at 4:07 pm

ONE MORE! [drumroll]

40 Erebella 07.10.08 at 4:31 pm

You know, when I was a teenager, my mom told me Tom Jones was just the hottest thing when she was younger and I’m like, but he’s so OLD! Then I saw a show where he was singing that Prince song “Kiss” and he was wearing black and looking good and when he said “I know how to undress me” he did something with his zipper and I went :-O and thought “Oh, I see. I stand corrected.”

41 Theo 07.10.08 at 4:44 pm

I think I’ll just be leaving that one alone. Yep.

42 Kris 07.10.08 at 5:16 pm

We failed to mention Bob Dylan’s illegitimate son NTMTOM Petty…let me know if anyone wants a different earworm… ;oP

Erebella – did your mom admit to throwing her underwear on stage????

43 Hon Glad 07.10.08 at 5:23 pm

Hi Theo, My turn to be puzzled by “Foreign” references. Yes, I’ve heard of Zappa and seen the LSO frequently. If it aint too vulgar or its innocent (of which I have my doubts) can you explain.

[OK, there was this one time Mr. Frank Z. conducted the LSO live in concert, using his middle finger. It's possible that I have the actual orchestra wrong, though. *tsk* That naughty boy. He was a caution, he was... - Ed.]

44 Erebella 07.10.08 at 5:24 pm

Haha, Kris. I don’t think she ever saw him perform….so to speak. She said he had this variety show and she would watch that all the time.

Anyway, CUTE KITTY! (don’t want anyone to start throwing stuff at me for getting off subject)

45 wagthedogma 07.10.08 at 5:26 pm

“It’s not unusual, to unzip in prime time (dah dah dah dah daaahhh…)”

46 Theo 07.10.08 at 5:44 pm

Wag the what now??

47 wagthedogma 07.10.08 at 7:44 pm

I dunno…whaddya got? ;)

48 AuntieMame 07.10.08 at 8:37 pm

Julie, is your sister by any chance a LOTR fan? (There was a “Joelle” who posted on a LOTR forum I visit.)

I guess Maude is helping you with your shorthand notes, eh?

49 Margaret 07.11.08 at 6:05 am

Keep the Roman orgy sequence! The second half of the film won’t make sense without it.

50 Pixy Misa 07.11.08 at 11:32 am

He’s making a film out of John Barnes’ Timeline Wars trilogy!

The books are Patton’s Spaceship, Washington’s Dirigible, and Caesar’s Bicycle. It all fits!
