still in the frenzy.
OTHPODCAST has this commentary on the season premiere, which I thought was really awesome. We got commentary on the episode by Hilarie and Lee, who play Peyton and Mouth respectively, if you've been hiding under a shell for the past seasons, as well as Mark, the creator, who the fans have a love/hate relationship with. I loved the commentary so much that I just had to transcribed my favourite parts for those who didn't want to listen to the whole thing. I ended up writing down more parts than I initially intended to, so I'm going to split it into two different posts.
It was pretty tough writing it at times, because I felt like I was taking so much away from the light teasing and camaraderie between the three of them. It was a really good listen, and seriously, you should listen to it over the episode.
On coming back for a fourth season
Hil: We had to make out with all the right people.
Lee: Yeah, it was tough.
Mark: Yeah, how come I'm not one of those right people? (everybody laughs) We'll get back to that.
Hilarie on one of the scenes in the beginning
Hil: And there's also two people in this scene and it's weird because there were two people in the scene before. And we did that on purpose because mathematically it creates a square...of characters.
Lee: Really? (laughs) That's brilliant.
Mark: I have no idea what Hilarie just said.
Hil: I went to college for that, that's actor math!
Mark: This is why I produce and she acts.
On the new opening credits
Mark: What's funny is that I wanna put new images of everyone in the opening title and I was telling Lee, "Well Mouth hasn't really smiled yet this season, so I have to use an old picture."
Lee: Mouth doesn't smile. Poor guy.
[In case anyone wants to know, Mark also says that he'll switch the old shots in the credits once they get more footage of the cast. Smiling, I guess. LOL]
On the non-hospital
Hil: This place where we shot all the hospital stuff, it's like a nuclear power plant that had just some empty space which we built sets in.
Lee: That's right, I was like, this is the hospital? I feel like I'm gonna need a real hospital when I leave this place, y'know?
A $10 oil portrait vs. a $10,000 wig
Lee: I love that picture
Mark: I want that pic in my office
Lee: It makes me crack up
Mark: It costs a fortune, it's an oil portrait.
Hil: Don't they have like kiosks in the mall that'll paint oil portraits for...
Lee: Hilarie and I could've gotten that for ten bucks, don't tell anybody.
Hil: It's true.
Mark: Put it this way, when we see ghost kid, and he's wearing a ten thousand dollar wig because he cut his hair...
Hil: WHAT?
Mark: Yeah.
Lee: What?
Hil: Really!
Lee: Wow.
Hil: Wait, that little kid got a ten thousand dollar wig?
Mark: I don't know why a wig would ever cost ten thousand dollars, but that's the word on the streets.
Lee: That's crazy.
[Yeah, it is! Little smart ass ghost is wearing a freakin' ten thousand dollar wig? You have got to be shitting me.]
More on Ghost Keith
Mark: Here's another thing you don't anticipate. Ghost Keith? Grew like six inches...
Hil: Yeah, he's huge now!
Mark: ...or like a foot, so his wardrobe's a little different from last year because he outgrew everything.
Lee: He's great at being creepy though.
Hil: (laughs) You little smart-ass ghost.
[I love that line and the way Paul said it. You little smart-ass ghost, hee.]
Antwon's gift of the gab
Mark: I love how Bevin be hearin' things (everyone laughs).
Hil: Bevin be...(laughs) You can't script that.
Lee: No, it's great.
Mark: Here's the thing too, when I'm writing the scripts, Antwon is one of the few actors who I say 'Just get close', y'know, just get close, because I'm not going to sit and write 'Bevin be hearin' things, dawg'.
Lee: We never get that, Hilarie.
Hil: Yeah!
Lee: We never get the permission.
Mark: No, you guys don't get it!
Hil: No!
Mark: You have no permission to ad-lib, but Antwon does!
Hil: He's a seasoned veteran!
[I found that pretty hilarious! Bevin be hearing things, dawg. So, it's an Antwon thing after all.]
On the scene where Peyton goes to the hospital
Lee: You look so pretty.
Hil: Oh, stop.
Lee: I like your hair like that.
Mark: Do you remember the first hair-do?
Hil: What?
Mark: This obviously has to match the season finale and I came onto the trailer and you had a mullet or something...
Hil: I did not have a mullet! It was a half-ponytail...
Lee: Oh, boyy.
Hil: ...it was half up; apparently that's a mullet in Mark-talk.
Mark: ...and I was like, ahh, it's not working for me.
Danneel's alter-ego
Mark: Look at poor little Elmo.
Hil: Don't say it! I totally thought you were(n't?) gonna say it!
Mark: I call Danneel 'Elmo' because her hair has never been this red before, and she has a little Elmo voice.
[LOL! Aw, that's actually kinda cute. It's kinda affectionate, in a way.]
Mark's true expertise
Hil: You know a lot about hair, Mark.
Lee: Yeah, you do.
Mark: This is what my life has become...
Hil: Wow, how cosmopolitan of you.
Mark: ...for four years, it's all about hair, makeup and wardrobe. I'm like, you know those pumps don't really look great with that skirt.
Hil: Yeah, you don't like it when I wear flats.
Mark: Yeah, I'm not a fan of Peyton's flats at all. It's very metrosexual.
Hilarie on the change in Paul
Hil: Can we point how great Paul looks? He like worked out all summer, or did something all summer, he's like a little spring chicken! He's all skinny and... not that he was, y'know, a heifer before (laughs) He's like super in shape, and like...
Mark: All I'm saying is that Hilarie Burton just called Paul Johansson a heifer.
Hil: (everyone laughs) No, I said, not like he was a heifer.
Lee: Oh, I do not wanna be in the makeup trailer when that comes.
[Hilarie absolutely cracked me up right here. Spring chickens and heifers? That would never have came to mind. LOL]
On the quick redecoration of Nathan & Haley's apartment
Mark: And yes, they went away this morning for the wedding, and they came back to a redecorated apartment, but look, my story...
Hil: They had a team of elves!
Mark: ...he had a team of elves at the ready, he was gonna surprise her, and they, you know, they whipped into shape as soon as the door closed behind Haley. It's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Lee: It was Mouth and Gigi. They were in there.
Hil: Aww, you guys are so sweet.
Mark: Mouth would go and DJ at the reception, run back, and throw some wallpaper on.
Lee: Meanwhile he's baking some bread for Rachel, you know. He can do it all.
Mark: (laughs) He's a well-rounded character.
[This is one of my favourite parts in the whole commentary. I love that they acknowledged the quick redecoration like most of the people on FF did. It's TV, after all, and what's more, it's Tree Hill. Anything can happen. I just love the stories they made up for it, though. So funny.]
I have part 2 of my transcipt all typed up but I'm pretty sure it needs a lot of editing since my fingers can't dance over the keyboard as fast as those three talk, so I'm going to post it up another day, since I'm pretty hammered right now and am going to go to bed.
G'night!
P/S- Anyone know where I could get some swanky mood-themes to doll my LJ up? Muchly appreciated. :)
