Quint has tonight's DINNER FOR FIVE!

Published at:  May 06, 2002 4:10:40 PM CDT

Harry here with the latest report from Quint on DINNER FOR FIVE... and this is one strange as all fuck dinner. I mean, ya got Foggy Nelson, a mermaid, a spawn of hell and Andy Dick. Sounds like a strange dinner, here ya go...




Ahoy squirts. 'Tis I, the friendly neighborhood seaman, Quint, here with a very, very quick look at tonight's Dinner For Five on IFC.

I've been a little down in the mouth today as a result of a nasty little stomach bug, but I did get to check out tonight's show. It should be Dinner for Four as one of their guests didn't make it. The four are: Host Jon Favreau and guests Daryl Hannah, Marilyn Manson and Andy Dick.

The other guest (who went unnamed) didn't show up, so the show basically starts on a chaotic note with all of the guests fingering through their address books and stored cell phone numbers trying to call in a last minute replacement.

They're listing off names of potential replacements and we find out that Daryl Hannah is trying to get Tim Curry on the phone. My heart jumped... I'm a huge, huge Tim Curry fan. I'm not ashamed of it. Rocky Horror, Legend, Clue, IT... well, his performance in that mini-series, at least... are some of my favorites. He's a great character actor and/or villain. I'm sure he'd have some amazing stories... And he might have some amazing stories to share... in a later episode.

The show must go on and it did with just four people in the conversation. This is a fun episode. Hannah talks a lot about her early gigs, with a focus on Blade Runner. Manson talks about a home movie he made which is... um... Well, I didn't get an amazing grasp at what it was about, but it somehow involves Manson sucking his bassist's dick, getting interrupted by a groupie, then fucking the groupie in many weird ways.

The look on Hannah's face during the telling of this story is priceless. Manson saw it, too and brought it up. "I didn't offend you, did I?" To which Hannah politely says no, of course not.

It's not my favorite episode... That missing person I think took away a key personality that was needed to keep it from just being about Hannah or just being about how many fucked up things Manson has done before. Don't get me wrong... It's a really entertaining episode, but it lacks a great melding of personality that made last week's episode with Rod Steiger so amazing.

On the whole, tonight's show is a lot of fun. I think you guys'll get a kick out of it.

    I'm not Rapaport

    by ho-chunk

    What, Rip Torn wasn't available? A little confetti goes great with canneloni. I think one of the episodes should have the five people go to Ralph's, buy whatever they feel like eating, then just sit outside and shoot the shit with whatever stoner kids or homeless guys walk by. And they HAVE to do one with In 'n Out burgers.

    This isn't Inside The Actor's Studio

    by fieldingmellish

    Every show doesn't have to have a well respected actor on it. This episode was a blast. Now they better do an episode with Tim Curry.

    Mason does all that crap for money...

    by thematarife

    He doesn't really believe in all that. He's just in it for the money. Worlds biggest freakshow. Makes a ton of cash of of it to. People talk about hypothetically doing terrible stuff for money, but Manson actually does it. He's made millions by sucking cock and being outragous. I don't think he will ever quit.

    "Dinner" shows up on Bravo too.

    by christopher3

    IFC, Bravo and TMC are the same corporate entity.

    Sweet Jesus! Any chance of getting transcripts of this show?

    by cash bailey

    And I don't blame Rappaport for chucking it in. I wouldn't want to be in the same BUILDING as those two freaks. Mind you, sitting next to Daryl Hannah might just almost make up for it.

    AMC sucks

    by fieldingmellish

    Just wanted to get that in. TCM is much better.

    No wonder the other guest didn't show up

    by kikstad

    I'd be afraid to sit next to Andy Dick and Marilyn Manson too! I love how Favs and Hannah kept trying to turn the conversation toward independent film-making and the entertainment industry but Dick and Manson just kept on talking about sex, drugs, and other wackiness.
