Ed Begley Live on Game Changers with Vicki Abelson

Today I got to hang with Ed Begley who makes me laugh and think and feel and want to do better and be better.

7x Emmy Award Nominee - St Elsewhere, Better Call Saul, Best In Show, Saturday Night Live, Spinal Tap, Mary Hartman Mary Hartman, Going South, She Devil, My Three Sons, The Dating Game, oh yes he did… even winning a date to Australia… we talked them all and then some… Nicholson, Brando, Streep, Cindy Williams, Carrie Fisher, Bruno Kirby, Charles Manson, John Belushi, Harry Nilsson, Harry Dean Stanton, Lorne Michaels, Michael Richard’s… Ed Begley Sr, the Chinatown connection, addiction, recovery, slips, righting wrongs, and righting so much right. A power of example in so, so many ways. We talked his just dropped sure to be a bestseller, To The Temple of Tranquility… and Step On It! The book’s a provocative, oft shocking, thrilling peek behind the Hollywood scene… get his book… and step on it… you’ll be so glad you did. https://bit.ly/40gzHtb

Ed’s humble, honest to the max, self-effacing, and self-aware… and he knows absolutely everybody! Ed walks his talk... an environmental hero... a loving husband and father... an amazingly supportive friend who suits up and shows up whenever, wherever he’s needed to better the world or help a friend, Unless he’s working, and with Ed, that happens a lot.

I so adore, admire, and respect this man. Loved every second!

I don’t understand why when we destroy something created by man we call it vandalism, but when we destroy something created by nature we call it progress.

The Magical World of Disney - The Absent Minded Professor - Sunday Nov. 27 1988 7-8pm - NBC-TV - starring Harry Anderson, Mary Page Keller and Ed Begley Jr. - NBC Press Photos This 1988 version of The Absent Minded Professor was made for the long running Wonderful World of Disney show, then in it’s Magical World of Disney incarnation. Harry Anderson, of Night Court, played the lead, Professor Henry Crawford. The blurbs with the press photos refer to the Absent-Minded Professor as a series. According to both IMDB and Wikipedia, The Absent Minded Professor came back for a second episode of Magical World. The Absent-Minded Professor: Trading Places - February 26, 1989 “Harry Anderson makes his second appearance as the nutty professor Henry Crawford in Disney's The Absent-Minded Professor: Trading Places. While working on yet another formula, Anderson is talked into temporarily trading jobs with his ex-roomate Ed Begley Jr., a research computer specialist. As usual, the professor gets in over his head, and before long he's chased around by all sorts of mysterious characters. The gimmick this time is a "mystery invention" disguised as a tennis ball.” (from IMDB) Promos for both on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXeEzbvBgw4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y394DlPCGE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2QXAHJIewU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6qsvvkMtMk Medfield Cinematic Universe: The Shaggy Dog ‘59 The Absent Minded Professor ‘61 Son of Flubber ‘63 The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes ‘69 Now You See Him, Now You Don't ‘72 The Strongest Man in the World ‘75 The Shaggy D.A. ‘76 Return of the Shaggy Dog ‘87 The Absent Minded Professor ‘88 The Absent-Minded Professor: Trading Places ‘89 The Shaggy Dog ‘94 The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes ‘95 Flubber ‘97 The Shaggy Dog ‘06 #flubber #theabsentmindedprofessor #absentmindedprofessor #tradingplaces #harryanderson #nightcourt #themagicalworldofdisney #magicalworldofdisney #wonderfulworldofdisney #disney #disneyplus #waltdisney #edbegleyjr #marypagekeller #modelt #nbc #nbctv #absentmindedprofessor1988 #medfieldcollege #medfieldcinematicuniverse (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-iKLy0BIDg/?igshid=pm6t7ruw7v53

Here are few of my shots of Ed Begley Jr. at the 2021 Environmental Media Association (EMA) Awards Gala. I really like Ed a lot. When I used to live in Studio City Ed was well known to drive around in his electric car. Ed has been green for a very long time time. Kat Kramer introduced me to Ed many years ago. I always look forward to seeing Ed. Ed came with his family last night. It was the first time and made sure I knew all the names. Truly, the act of a thoughtful gentleman. On the third frame the names are as follows - Hayden Carson Begley, Rachelle Carson next to Ed on his right and Amanda Begley on his left. @ed_begley_jr #ema #edbegleyjr #honoree https://www.instagram.com/p/CVJidC1J4s7/?utm_medium=tumblr

Favorites : Pineapple Express (2008)

Any chance I get to support the wonderful crew that emerged from the wake of Freaks and Geeks, I do so, as their product is consistently high quality and hilarious. Of the many, many talented people that came out of that project, two of the most successful were Seth Rogan and James Franco, who have continued to explore their wonderful chemistry through several film ventures. Before they caused an epic, multi-country scandal via The Interview, the duo created a cult classic for stoners and fans of comedy in the form of Pineapple Express.

After a stressful day of serving subpoenas, followed by an argument with his 18 year old girlfriend Angie (Amber Heard), process server Dale Denton (Seth Rogen) visits his drug dealer Saul (James Franco) for some green relief. Saul not only gives Dale a pep-talk, but he sells him a rare strain of weed known as Pineapple Express, a strain that he has exclusive selling rights to. After Dale escapes Saul’s residence and attempts at friendship, he attempts to serve a man named Ted Jones (Gary Cole). Dale’s visit, however, turns him into the witness of a murder committed by Ted Jones and Officer Carol Brazier (Rosie Perez), and in his fear-filled attempt to flee the scene, Dale leaves behind a joint of Pineapple Express and is spotted. Unsure of what to do, Dale flees to Saul for help, but they quickly realize that his connection to Pineapple Express and Ted Jones puts him in the same danger that Dale faces. With no plan and little hopes of surviving, the duo enlists the help of Red (Danny McBride) in hopes of bargaining for Dale’s safety, but the situation quickly spirals epically out of control.

The brilliance of Pineapple Express is the way that it melds a handful of genres together into one cohesive, albeit outrageous, narrative. The most obvious comparison is the realm of stoner comedy, immediately putting the movie in the same realm of classics like the Cheech & Chong or Jay & Silent Bob movies. The road movie feeling of a Thelma & Louise or Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas is also there, giving the film its feeling of adventure. The adventure aspect is multiplied by the action movie aspects of the film, with the underground bunker location, hired muscle, gang war, fight scenes and chase scenes feel like a skewed version of the Bourne series, or a counter-culture Die Hard-style film. All of this is presented, and it’s wrapped up nice and neatly into the world of a line-o-rama comedy, a style that this generation of comedic actors and directors have perfected.

The chemistry between every actor and the fusion that carries between scenes makes this one of the most enjoyable and rewatchable movies I can think of. Be it Dale and Saul, Ted Jones and Officer Carol, Budlofsky and Matheson, Red and anyone he is paired with, or the handful of interactions that Dale and Saul have with everyone they meet, there is never a dull or wasted moment. The entirety of the cast also finds the most amazing ways to take common action/adventure tropes and drown them in hilariousness and ridiculousness... never have I seen a funnier collection of shootouts, car chases, torture scenes and explosions. They even manage to find humor in the very delicate situation that is Dale and Angie’s relationship, which while legal and consensual, is certainly enough of a gap that it would probably raise eyebrows and generate clickbait articles aplenty these days.

In terms of technical aspects, this film shines in areas that it has no obligations to, or even reasons to excel in. The story has enough twists and turns to continuously propel itself forward, keeping the viewers hooked despite the story’s premise being relatively simple. The soundtrack is stellar, mixing old, new, popular and obscure songs that perfectly punctuate the moments they are connected to. The costuming has a nice, vintage, lived-in look, with even the most styled characters like Ted Jones still wearing outfits that a blue-collar individual could easily afford and wear with confidence. Even the prelude scene, while being amazingly hilarious, ties right back into the end of the film without being obnoxious or obvious about it.

Seth Rogan is one of the most relatable, human protagonists to date, eschewing the invincible trope for a hapless everyman approach that serves as an immediate viewer surrogate. James Franco neatly falls into an interesting anti-hero role, bouncing between sympathetic victim and vindictive accomplice, all the while trying to force a friendship out of a business connection. Danny McBride completes this trio by bringing the pure wild card energy only he is capable of. Gary Cole and Rosie Perez have a wonderful will they/won’t they dynamic that they tie into their top dog irreverence, while Kevin Corrigan and Craig Robinson embrace the Odd Couple, arguing siblings aesthetic to great effect. Amber Heard brings a different realm of humor into the world of the Dale Denton character, with great support from the Ed Begley Jr. and Nora Dunn appearances. The list of cameo and brief appearances is wonderful as well, with names like Joe Lo Truglio, Bill Hader, James Remar, Ken Jeong, Cleo King, Justin Long and more contributing their talents.

For what it’s worth, I feel that Pineapple Express definitely deserves a spot on any list of notable movies from the 2000s. The comedic precedent it set has been mirrored time and time again, and it not only solidified Seth Rogan and James Franco as leaders of the new school, but instantly validated Danny McBride as comic seasoning for any funny project. I’m not sure if any movie is ‘perfect’, but for someone like me, Pineapple Express flies close to that sun in all the best ways.
