Randy Quaid is suing the Brokeback Mountain producers for at least $10 million in damages because they tricked him into working for a super low price by telling him it was “a low-budget, art-house film, with no prospect of making any money.”
“Yet from day one, defendants fully intended that the film would not be made on a low budget, would be given a worldwide release, and would be supported as the studio picture it always was secretly intended to be,” the lawsuit says.
I’d be pretty pissed too if somebody talked me into making a gay cowboy movie for $5 and a coffee, and then it went on to make over $80 million and everybody involved got an Academy Award nomination except me. You’d think playing a supporting role in Not Another Teen Movie would finally give meaning to your life but I guess not.
Hah! I’m first!
He should thank god he can still get work. Did they remind him that he’s RANDY QUAID and he wears muumuus?
Actually, since I didn’t waste my money on BBM, I didn’t even know he was in the film. That’s why he’s suing – “Hey! Everybody! I was there, too!!”
*******’s Full
Damn, poor Randy took it in the ass for less then my local hooker, you can’t even get directions for five bucks and a coffee…..
With the success of Humpback Mountain, he should just be grateful for the exposure he got. I’m sure he still got paid way more than the average C list actor. It’s all relative Randy. Everyone else did all the work anyway. Deal with it.
Did he play the mountain in that movie?
Is he wearing blush in the picture? He was funny in “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation,” his funniest line was about “cleanin’ out the shitter.”
Damn government want to cut my disabilty cos they said the plate in my head wernt big enough.
#7 – Snap! Nice.
#9 – Sounds about right.
Looks like he borrowed Keira Knightley’s pig mask…
well..he doesn’t complain about having to drive to Encino every other weekend to shoot those BAREBACK MOUNTAIN gay porn films for a mere $50 per scene…damn Randy, be patient…I’m sure the Surreal Life will be calling next season…I can feel it!!!
Clark: Sure, Eddie, how much do you need?
Cousin Eddie: About fifty-two thousand dollars.
Oh, I’ll be driving. I’ll just be too shit-faced to remember to pick you guys up.
Come on, Clark, the night is young… they’re giving away free hot sandwiches at the blood bank.
Clark Griswald is hot, hot, hot.
Maybe Randy could borrow some $ from Dennis.
I cant believe he really asks for six figures a movie. Notice I said asks and not makes because Im sure there is not enough cocaine in Columbia to get a producer high enough to pay him that much money.
His name is RANDY, and he was in a gay cowboy movie…Hmm.
He better watch it or Anne Proulx will kick his ass.
As far as I know Brokeback Mountain was shot for $14 million. That’s a low budget flick. Made by professional. Earned $83 million. True. Saw, budget – $1 mil. Grossed $103 mil worldwide. Saw 2 budget – $4 mil. Made $144 mil. Still, these are low buget flicks. So Randy, if you read this, shut the fuck up. Who are you to fuck with Ang Lee? He is the man.
Three words; Back. End. Deal. (no double-entendre intended) Get an agent who knows how to negotiate and quit whining.
The only people that saw that crap were the bone smokers and fudge packers that went six or seven times each to give it the numbers it did. I don’t know anyone that saw that tripe. I doubt anyone commenting here saw it. Randy needs to go to a Frisco bath house and hang out, so to speak, and then he’ll get some of the money too.
bafongu: i bet your fudge needs some packin…wanna ride?
you’re right, tho…i saw bbm thrice
Where was I when Randy Quaid became a big star? The last thing I remember this load in was Vegas Vacation.
Oh I saw it too.
Brokeback Mountain is a great film. Randy Quaid is just being a slimy scuz. Anybody ever see him in the late Richard Pryor’s 1988 comedy romp, Moving. That is who I remember him most by, the neighbor from hell Boise, Idaho and New Jersey.
I haven’t even read any of the posts yet but Brokeback is like the only movie I ever checked the ticket sales for and it barely scratched the surface, compared to the other movies. But, on the other hand, Randy Quaid, dude you’re Randy Quaid! Be happy that you are a well-known, working actor.
Bafongu, you’re a douche. And if I remember my Italian, it’s closer to “va f’an ghoule” (phonetic) And by the way, you’re a “cafone” (not “gavone”) Testa dura, facci bruto. I saw the movie too.
I just hate when people are stupid for stupid’s sake.
One more thing, people who say fudge packer generally are packing it in as well. Don’t rry to insult me either because I am impervious to all insults. I love to fight on the Fish (YEAH!!!!)
yeah, and they probably didn’t even let him watch during the sex scenes!
