David Wain (Wet Hot American Summer) eats pork



David Wain, the comedic mastermind behind Wet Hot American Summer and Stella comedy sat down for a funny interview. His new movie, The Ten, stars Adam Brody, Jessica Alba and Paul Rudd. According to the interview, he paid the actors in platinum. Here's some of it:

David, thanks for doing this. So, since we are mainly a music website, I have to get this out of the way. What bands are you listening to right now? What's your favorite NYC rock venue?

I love The Hold Steady - wow. Also Craig Wedren (although I'm baised). Rock venue... let's see... Fez? CBGB? Village Gate? Bottom Line? Brownies? I guess all my favorite places have closed.

Shame, huh. Ok, about your movie. The Ten is the funniest movie I've seen in a long time. How long did it take you to write? To film?

The first draft was written in six days but we revised and rewrote on and off over a couple of years. The filming was 28 days (4 in Mexico, 2 in LA, the rest in New York City).

The film has a strong religious theme. Do you go to temple? Hold Sabbath? Eat pigs?

I like going to temple, sometimes, but I don't go too often. But I did get bar mitzva'd and and I did go to jewish camp where we had lovely shabbats. I do eat pigs, sometimes. Mainly in the form of ham & cheese.


The Full interview can be read on FreeIndie.Com.

Best NYC rock venue = Irving Plaza. Even if LiveNation just pooped on it and made it like the Fillmore.

Mike Show: My weight fluctuates. Yesterday I weighed 5,000 pounds. That's as big as an elephant.

Some girl: Do you ever just eat and eat to fill a void?
David: No, I eat until I'm full then go for a jog.

That's all the weight related Stella I can remember :)

I saw this film, it was really fucking awesome. David Wain did an interview after.

"When you were young, did Nuns hit you with rulers?"

"Well, I'm Jewish. So yes."

If you wanna smear mud on your ass, smear mud on your ass, just be honest about it. Look Gene, I've never told anyone this before, but I can suck my own dick, and I do it a lot.
