“Leopold” from Bugs Bunny is a reference to Leopold Stokowski.
Once upon a time, orchestra conductors could be famous too.
MESSAGE FROM BOBBY FIELDS:
"Hi, Everyone! I just wanted to clarify some things about our movie, ‘The Bridge’. The Bridge is about crossing bridges and getting to the other side of your bridge because, well, everyone’s got a bridge in his or her life and you can’t get to the other side of the bridge unless you cross over, but we can’t cross over until we take that first step of crossing the bridge which would then be followed by many more steps until those steps, all added together, were enough to get you to the other side. Bridges connect things. They bring things from one side to the other side and they go over treacherous things like water and rocks and valleys and well, that’s what bridges are for and that’s what this movie is about. So, are you ready to cross your bridge? Or are you thinking that you might want to jump off the bridge? I can tell you as someone who has crossed bridges and worked with people who have crossed bridges or are currently in the process of crossing one that it is better to cross bridges than to jump off them.
We are asking that you help us cross this bridge but we can’t cross it until we build it so let’s build a bridge! Yes, let’s make this bridge go from one side to the other in a most bridgelike fashion so that we can show the world what bridge making and bridge crossing is all about.
Are you ready to cross your bridge?"
So is there going to be bridges in this thing or not?!
I think there is already a film called The Bridge about some bridge(Golden Gate,maybe) that many people have jumped off…and there was also a tv show called The Bridge as well…

Is anyone going to jump off a bridge in this one? I thought maybe it was a documentary, but it seems like it’s an actual film with all these people “acting” in it. Sounds pretty bad.
It’s very cryptic, but there apparently is some story about a struggling musician or something. I guess there’s a bridge in town or something. Anyway, every promo ever makes sure to hit you over the head and tell you about the bridge metaphor . . . about a million times.
I wish them all the best, but some of the promotion has been a bit cringe-worthy.
Any film that casts that Def Leppard guy and Al Jourgensen is bound to be a bit odd, hahaha.

yeah i have that. it’s pretty crazy. they had cameras set up on the GGB for a full year and captured a bunch of suicides. one guy who jumped and survived said as soon as he jumped he changed his mind and wanted to live.
the whole thing builds around one guy they keep showing and talking about and finally show his crazy swan dive at the end. apparently he was depressed about his life and all sorts of shit like not getting a job he wanted which they said he was scheduled to be interviewed for(or hired, i forget) right when he killed himself.
That documentary film looks pretty cool. I stumbled on it when looking up this thing.
And, yes, there have been 100’s of movies and tv shows and such called The Bridge before this. But . . . yeah, this one is a metaphor too. And has Al Jourgensen . . . and Joe Elliott.

I hope Joe Elliott plays the titular bridge, and lies down while some cars drive over him.
Yeah, i could live with that as well.
I’m pretty sure Bono won’t be making an appearance in this one.
Did you see one of the $75 perks is a 15 minute Skype session with Al? Who’s going to jump on that? I considered it for a minute and then realized I don’t have much to talk about.
somebody gift this to paul barker and record it! guaranteed entertainment.
The perks are constantly changing.
I got no issue with the big ones like “$1000 to attend a Ministry rehearsal” or something. I wouldn’t do it, but it’s a nice option for someone. Or hang out with the band backstage, eat dinner with Sin . . . all proper packages for the right person.
And some of the bottom level ones are whatever . . . I mean, I could see tossing $10 at it I had a cousin in it or something and I’d get a keychain. Yay.
It’s some of the mid-level ones that I think create for comedic fodder. There was actually a perk that you could get for $200 which said that Al would record a 15 second outgoing message for your answering machine.
First off. No. But second, uhhh, this isn’t 1985. We don’t have answering machines. And who, other than perhaps the most unemployable eccentric person who has money to burn would want that? I mean seriously, can you imagine?

“OH CRAP!!! Honey!! Hurry, pick up the phone, I think that might be my client!!! PICK UP THE DAMN PHONE!!!”
[click]
“HOWDY FUCKIN DOOTY MUTHERFUCKERS!!! You just fuckin called Gurrrr, Guuuu, what the fuck does this say? Who the fuck is Gunner? I’m Al Fuckin’ Jourgensen and I’m fuckin’ drunk!!! Leave a fuckin’ message at the fuckin’ beep. Fuck you! BBEEP!!! HAHA!!! That was just me fuckin’ beeping! It wasn’t even the fuckin’ machine, haha!! Did I mention FUCK YOU?”
[[[Beeep]]]
“Hello, Gunnar. We’ve decided to go a different direction on that contract we were discussing. Yeah, uhh, no need to call back. Thanks.”

I fucking hate it when that happens! [pirate]
I guess they’re no longer involved because of the year long tour…

Man, I realize now how much more frutiful my last job search would have been had I not commissioned Varg Vikernes to do my custom voicemail message.
“Hails! This is Varg Vikernes of Burzum, notifying you that you have reached the mobile phone number that partially enslaves Tomasz to the worthless ‘modernity’. Perhaps he is currently occupied with the burning of a church, or with building a sizable stockpile of weapons and explosives to prepare for his own personal Ragnarok. Whatever the case, he has no time for you.”
Most of my relentless goofing on that bullshit was on Facebook.
Good find! It’s one of those things that I think will be really obscure and I’ll have to tell others, “No, I fucking swear it! This was really a thing!” and then I’ll desperately search for any evidence.
