Can the White House revoke a press pass?

I noticed Odenkirk was in it when I checked out the wikipedia page. Very convincing actor. I just saw Incredibles 2 and I knew his character was him after a single word.


For some reason, I'd like to see him in a show with Jason Bateman. The idea of Odenkirk pitching an idea that Bateman is skeptical of seems too to not exist.

maybe odenkirk can play a producer in dodgeball 2 where he tries to convince bateman's character to do color commentary for a new league where they the athletes throw wrenches at each other instead of dodgeballs...

You knowing these numbers makes me feel like there's an entire culture surrounding this film I'm unaware of. I recognized the name from this film, but I've never heard anyone mention frame 313 like that.

Oh, there is, and it still exists. I'm a mere spectator of it. Some people are obsessed with this 26-second film, shot with a 414 Bell-and-Howell PD Director Zoomatic Movie Camera, which was way more expensive than the 6.5 mm Mannlicher-Carcano rifle that allegedly fired the bullets at the president. Does not take much research to find people who seem to make this a full-time occupation.

*TINSEL* I think Gulo's inquiry is genuine.

Are all of them people whose full time occupation involves filming things already?

Hmmmm...not convinced.

You’ve been “playing dumb” ever since you pretended to believe that the clip from the end of The Post, of Nixon on the phone in the Oval Office, was actually filmed in real time by Abraham Zapruder from the White House lawn, while Zapruder was hiding behind the same bushes that Sean Spicer hid behind.

Not playing dumb. I thought whoever made the movie, got Zapruder to film the scene with a guy playing Nixon's silhouette. Didn't realize Zapruder wasn't around by the time any movie could be made and didn't know when the movie was.


There's your theory here...and then there's another possibility you should consider: maybe I'm just not as smart as you think I am.


edit: I also wasn't buying the idea that it was filmed at the White House, I figured that was a joke.

Too silly. Or not the right kind of silly. I'm thinking more of an 'Odd Couple' vibe. I didn't like Bateman in Dodgeball. Maybe he had fun doing something other than his regular thing, but it didn't seem like a good fit to me.

Not sure I understand the question. Some are former intelligence people; some are joes off the road with too much time on their hands, and some are BS crazy. They are the ones who used Mary Moorman's photo to prove that a uniformed cop fired the fatal shot from the knoll.

You have informed us on this board that you have been in the profession of news filmography so obviously you have much more understanding of cameras and filming and so forth than any old Joe, as you displayed in the post that I quoted.

I guess not really that much of a thigh slapper.
