Okay, so that HTML code isn't on.

Anyway, if some of us want to discuss stuff that could spoil it for you is it okay if we announce loud and clear that we're gonna have SPOILERS?

I just watched the whole "making of" again, it seems that they were rehearsing the scene in which they hear their Lacuna, Inc "erasure" tapes for the first time and react. I think Jim got a little too into the process and overreacted. I think he was "in character" but the pain was real. He is so brilliant in this part, Gondry is insanely creative and Kaufman so surreal, I just can't get enough of this movie! Every time I watch it I see more in it, both visually and metaphorically. I fear I am becoming obsessed....

I thought the things they said on the tapes were real? I thought that was their way of getting into character? hmmmm maybe I heard it wrong

Jim said that the stuff on the tape is an hour of him talking about his own personal stuff. In the news section on here it says he is "out of character"

I fear I am becoming obsessed....

Shall I add you to my Freaky fans club? lol

Absolutely - that's what method acting is about, isn't it - harnessing the relevant emotions from your own experiences and bringing them to the character. His ability to do this is why the character of Joel was so staggeringly brilliant.
