“When you cut it up, put the pieces in your mouth and swallowed them, the British hamburger shaped itself to the bottom on your stomach like ballast, while interacting with your gastric juices to form an incipient belch of enormous potential, an airship which had been inflated in a garage. This belch, when silently released, would cause people standing twenty yards away to start examining the soles of their shoes. The vocalized version sounded like a bag of tools thrown into a bog.” PeopleFunnyFormCausesPiecesCuttingMouthsStandingToolsEnglandTwentiesBottomShoesBritishEnormousVersionsThrownBagsStomachYardsJuiceGarageExaminingInteractingHamburgersBogsBallastGastricAirships Book:Falling Towards England: (Unreliable Memoirs Continued) Source: Falling Towards England: (Unreliable Memoirs Continued)

“We also have a piece about the Mayflower, but it's just a very different, very gritty, very character-driven version of why those people were on that boat and what the experience was like for them, emotionally, physically and spiritually, and also the Native Americans and what the state of Native American society was at that time.” PeopleDifferentStatesCharacterPiecesDrivenVersionsBoatNativeNative AmericanAmerican SocietyMayflower Author:John Landgraf
“Josh [Gad] is such an amazing improviser and is so good when the material is flowing from him that sometimes, if a written scene isn't working quite right, I'll tell him that we've got it and that he can just play. He'll blow us away with some super weird stuff and some wild things that we might use bits and pieces of in the edit, and then I'll say, "Just for good measure, let's do one more of the scripted version."” IfsSometimesPlayUseMightStuffBitsPiecesWrittenMaterialsSceneBlowVersionsEditsJoshBits And PiecesWild ThingsWeird StuffMight Use Author:Josh Gad
“I remember in the Carpenter version, you got acquainted with the characters and really knew them. It was a real character piece. Each actor was serviced in the movie, and we tried to do that in this movie as well. I like the fact that there was a European, first-time director. I'd known of him because I'm from Europe. I knew him as a commercial director and thought one of his commercials was great. I thought it was an interesting take on such a big-budget cult classic.” FirstsWellsRealCharacterFactsBigsRememberActorsInterestingKnownPiecesDirectorsFirst TimeEuropeVersionsBudgetsClassicCultCarpenterReal Character Author:Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje
“My plan is if you come to the shows in the first run of dates the versions you'll hear live are quite close to the record. But because I can set this up identically afterwards in a hotel room I can actually work when I'm on the move. The aim is that all the pieces will have had substantial remixes and different parts added and subtracted.” IfsFirstsI CanDifferentShowsRunningMovingRoomsRecordsPiecesPlansAimVersionsHotelBecause I CanHotel RoomsRemix Author:Squarepusher
