was trying to think of something to harrass mr lee about, so i thought i'd let the net think for me (searched around for latest news), and ran across this wacky trivia.
Jason Lee's Mission to Oregon
When the first wave of American settlers arrived in the Oregon Country, it was ironic that they were greeted by two Canadians: one a sympathetic rival who was under orders to discourage them, and the other probably the single person most responsible for establishing white settlements, organizing schools, and creating a government. The first was John McLoughlin, Chief Factor of the Hudson's Bay Company. The second was Jason Lee, Methodist missionary to Oregon.
there's this large frickin article about the guy at :
http://www.endoftheoregontrail.org/road2oregon/sa06JasonLee.html
but... basically, lee was a wacky religious canadian dude who got oregon well on it's way to becoming the wacky religious canadian mecca it is today. (...)
anyway.
i'd just like to know what lee (or you other red names-ies) thought of Requiem for a Dream.
Because i haven't been able to get that damn film (damned fasntastic film) out of my head since i saw it. (been a week now).
(... and in the interest of trivia, supposedly arronofsky shot over 8 hours of jared leto and jennifer connoley going at it, and only used a small amount of it in the final cut. but the guy that runs mrskin.com is tracking it down, and that is a guy that has a talent for tracking things down.)
back in jason lee land... you used to be a renouned skater... and skater's used to beat the shit out of me back in boulder creek, CA. soooo, i'm outta questions.
but totally loved you in your VA flics and almost famous (and mumford, kissing a fool, and enemy of the state).
Looking forward to breakers in a big way.
till then,
