L.A. Readers! Join Mr. Beaks At The Santa Monica Apple Store This Saturday For A Q&A With LIE TO ME's Tim Roth!
Beaks here...
Ever since he rampaged onto the scene as a rebellious young skinhead in Alan Clarke's MADE IN BRITAIN, Tim Roth has consistently proven himself to be one of the most gifted actors of his generation. He's dazzled as a mad-genius painter, a gut-shot undercover cop, a foppish swordsman, the doomed pal of a Danish prince, an amorous ex-con who likes to smell hair, a Jewish-Russian hitman, and a ruthlessly militaristic chimpanzee. This, my friends, is what you call "range".
If, like me, you believe that the only thing better than Tim Roth is more Tim Roth, you'll be pleased to know that his one-hour drama, LIE TO ME, is returning to Fox this Monday (9/28 at 9 PM) for its second season. The show stars Roth as human lie detector Dr. Cal Lightman, who's called in (with his associates at The Lightman Group) by cops and federal agents to assist in the sniffing out of suspects' myriad deceptions. As with many popular detective shows, the fun is in tagging along with protagonists who are invariably the smartest people in the room: yes, you may be fairly sure that Lightman is going to get his man, but you don't often know how he's going to use his considerable skills to extract the truth. It's a very entertaining procedural.
So if you're a fan of the show, you should absolutely swing by the Santa Monica Apple Store* tomorrow (Saturday 9/26) at 4 PM for a Q&A I'll be conducting with the talented Mr. Roth. We'll be showing exclusive clips from the season premiere and, of course, taking your brilliant questions. We're scheduled to go for about forty-five minutes, so there should be plenty of time to work Roth over for details on where the show is headed this year - and, perhaps, inquire about his other great performances. (Warning: if you're going to ask a RESERVOIR DOGS question, it better be the best fucking RESERVOIR DOGS question of all time. No pressure.)
Hope to see a bunch of you wacky Angelenos there!

Hah! Hah! Hah! -
Odd. -
...as in Mr Orange?? -
Who is that desperate to meet a celebrity?
-
That's really weird. Guess the Barns and Nobles were booked?
-
No one does Q&As at Apple Stores. This is the very first.
-
inquiring minds want to know.
-
"We're just sit tight and wait for Joe Cabott to stick his fucking head through that door. Don't you pussy out on me now, Marvin."

It used to smell like stinky feet. But it cleaned up well. If you go to the event, be sure to swing by Amazon Hut, which is within walking distance, on Broadway and Ocean Avenue. They have these amazing ACAI frozen desserts.
-
but I'm interviewing Dylan McDermott that afternoon in the Van Nuys Radio Shack; we'll be in the aisle where they keep the speaker wire and power strips.
If anybody goes to this, be sure to ask Beaks what his favorite Lie To Me episode is; he'll talk your ear off! -
macs make users retarded but roth is pretty much a god...someone make him say "i love you hunny bunny"
-
How about this one? Windows users ingest fermented dog feces. Equally clever, no?
-
I'm just sayin' he had a perfect view.
-
Going to chime in on it... or cash the paycheck. Wait, do you get a paycheck from here? Not trying to bust balls, but do you get money from AICN? Seriously. By the way, in the time I typed this, Seth McFarlene earned a grand.
-
Are the AMC ads for Mad Men now taking up half the screen? Shit, can I not watch Ghost Busters in peace?
-
True Romance questions only please
-
your comment is absurd as i was talking about the os, not the user...and it is a fact, mac users become retarded they pay me to plug shit in, they are so retarded
-
When the characters go into a lecture about the meaning of different facial ticks and non-verbal cues, how much of that information comes from actual research and how much is just invented for dramatic purpose?
-
Retarded people buy macs.
There's a subtle difference.
Retarded people see the ads that claim that macs are super-easy-to-use, and then get flustered when they cannot figure out how to do something.
It's not the OS. It's the marketing.
If the retarded people all bought Windows PCs and expected the computer to do all their thinking for them, they'd still be retarded people. -
I use OSX, Windows, and Linux. OSX is my favourite because it combines the functionality of UNIX with the plug-and-play functionality of olde-tyme Macintosh.
I don't THINK I'm retarded.
But my seventy-year-old dad bought a brand-new iMac because the ads convinced him it's oh-so-easy to use.
He calls me weekly to walk him through the process of attaching a file to an email, or some other basic computing task.
OSX is not the reason he's computer illiterate. He would be equally frustrated by Windows or Linux. But Apple's advertising is the reason he wasted THOUSANDS of dollars on a computer when he could have gotten the EXACT same level of frustration for way less money with Windows or Linux. -
Could be really crowded... or really awkward if the turn out is low. Screw it, I'm going.

Who's interviewing Michael Jackson at Forest Lawn cemetary?

What, too soon?

That would be AnimalBrane. Make sure you shower beforehand or you'll never live it down.

The Mac Store was super loud; it was like watching an interview in a soup kitchen AND there were multiple Reservoir Dogs/Tarantino questions. Roth was gracious though, and seemed the most enthused about a child's question about "Incredible Hulk". I have never seen Lie to Me before, so it was hard to gauge if Beaks had, either. I'm leaning towards a last minute binge before the interview.
-
And the second season premiere. The episode I singled out (about the serial rapist) is well worth watching. Hoping for more of that from Shawn Ryan & Co. this season.It was loud, though. Had a hard time hearing some of the questions (and couldn't tell if the audience could hear us at all). Hope you got something out of it. Did you see Ray Liotta randomly hanging out?

People who bash the Mac while praising their Windows PC are idiots with no perspective and no knowledge of the history of personal computing. I realize many of you weren't born then, but I invite you to look back at what personal computing was like when the Mac was introduced in 1984. The only PC/Microsoft operating system was DOS, a mouseless, text-based system which displayed monochrome letters on a black screen and nothing more. This was then considered the "serious, business computer" as compared to the "toy" Mac graphical interface and mouse. I remember the derision the Mac, with the first ever commercially available graphical interface, bitmapped graphics, and mouse, received from the IBM PC pinheads back then.
When Steve Jobs refused to license the Mac OS as Bill Gates wished him to do, Gates set out to copy it, and did so in an awkward, bumbling way, not managing to come out with anything remotely comparable until, arguably, Windows XP. Now that Apple is 10 years into the development of Mac OSX, MS forges ahead with its plodding copying, copying not only the Mac OS but the iPod and soon even the layout and appearance of the Apple retail stores. They do not do this because Apple gear is "retarded," simpletons.
The point is that if you like your Windows PC, great, you should thank Apple. Without Apple's leadership, MS would have had no incentive to produce anything half as good as the current Windows. You clods would be staring at DOS Version 25.8 or whatever and thinking it was grand. MS has proven itself incapable of innovating anything of any consequence over many years. They're not even all that good at copying. But they still manage to thrill you nimrods because their cheap copies of things are a little bit cheaper, and half of you probably think MS actually invented some of that crap. -

BUT HOW DO YOU GUYS MANAGE WITH JUST ONE MOUSE BUTTON?

for In The Name Of The King?

We could hear you and Roth perfect. I actually did get a lot from it- and you did a good job managing some odd-ball people asking questions. I had never seen the show, so I felt like it would have been tourist to ask anything. In retrospect, I wish I had. I had no idea Liotta was there.
-
So I guess the event will be overpriced and sold on nothing but hype and slick marketing?
-
I see my little history lesson wasn't enough to penetrate your ignorance.
-
Though the hispter shitbags that praise them both piss me off an terrify me.
