Courtesy of the generous folk over at Sony, I will be giving away a poster like the one below, signed by none other than LD himself!
The competition will run for the next 2 weeks finishing on Sunday the 12 June.
To be in the running for this great prizeuse the form below to answer these three Larry related trivia questions:
Whatever Works is not the first time Larry has appeared in a Woody Allen film. What are the 2 previous Woody flicks that had Larry appear in minor roles?
Larry left Seinfeld after season 7 but continued to voice a supporting character. Who?
In Curb Your Enthusiasm’s, “The Ski Lift”, what actually happened to Larry’s misplaced cell phone?
Larry recently talked to John Jurgensen from the Wall Street Journal about Whatever Works. In comparing his and Woody’s comedy, he said:
I am not nearly as ambitious or as smart as he is. I’m dealing pretty much with what people have to deal with in their everyday lives. I don’t take on big things. What I do, pretty much, is make the big things small and the small things big. It’s a comedic device. That works for me.
Mali Elfman from Screencave also recently covered a press conference that Larry attended for the film with co-stars Evan Rachel Wood and Patricia Clarkson:
Did you hang our with a lot of Jewish people to prepare for the role?
Clarkson: I mean you never do that.
David: I’ve never done that. So, yes, that aspect was really unusual. I tried to find as many Jews as I could and be-friend them and talk to them and see what made them tick.
Clarkson: Didn’t you go back and you were bar mitzvah-ed again?
David: Oh, my God (laughing). I went back to Brooklyn and walked the streets and interviewed people, what’s it like being a Jew? How do you behave?
In other news, Meg Ryan has been confirmed as a guest star early in the upcoming seventh season of Curb.
Update: The Youtube video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by NBC Universal. I have added the official NBC video to this page but it may only work for those in North America. Apologies, my hands are tied.
Larry talks to Conan on June 16 about his role in the upcoming Woody Allen film Whatever Works. He also discusses his divorce, dental hygiene and orgasm regret.
Not as good as his Letterman interview but enjoyable nonetheless.
For one reason oranother I can’t seem to embed the second video so click here to view it.
Curb cast member Jeff Garlin indicated on his Twitter account on the 2nd June that season 7 of Curb Your Enthusiasm will premiere on HBO on the 20th September. Thanks to fellow fan Jim for spotting it, he has been invaluable in getting Larry related news on here FIRST! I apologise for having been a bit slack on keeping the blog up to date but promise to be on the ball in the run-up to the big night.
Scott Raab of Esquire recently had a “An Extremely Awkward Encounter with Larry David” over a bowl of soup. Among othe things the two find time to discuss the health of their necks, vegetables, hummus, and the Seinfeld curse.
SR: So Curb’s seventh season is coming up. You’re starring in a Woody Allen movie. You’re here in New York City. You walked the red carpet last night at the Tribeca Film Festival. How does it feel to be Larry David?
LD: A lot better than it used to, I can tell you that. Better than having to walk from First Avenue to the West Side because I couldn’t afford to get home at night. Having to eat Chef Boyardee, emptying the pennies in a grocery at three o’clock in the morning to buy Chef Boyardee — it’s better than that. I feel good.
For those wondering, I’ve already wiki’d it and Chef Boyardee is a brand of canned pasta.
Also of note, last month Mark Haris from New York Magazine did a excellent feature on Larry, Woody Allen and the evolution/future of Jewish humour. Whether you agree with its assertions or not, if you appreciate the humour of Larry and where it came from, this is a really interesting read.
