Anybody watch Perry's 'star commentary'?

it's weird - - at times he seems to know that he was being played, like when he says, "i don't think jiggly wrigley and [the stunt double] were really having sex in there. they probably told them to just come through the door w/all smiles and giggles"

this implies he's figured out he was being set up for his reaction

but for most of the rest of his commentary, he talks about it as if it was all real

can he really not see the big picture? it's surprising, even given he's no einstein, that if he's figured out the aforementioned scene, and also says that he knew full well who Roman Polanski was, and now knows Jiggly is Lisa K., and as he says many times, "a.k.a. Susan B. Anthony," that he still thinks he was shooting a legit movie. how does/would he explain all this stuff? fake names, etc., etc.

opinions?

I've noticed two things while watching the commentary. All the true identities that Perry knows about are pretty much the names that appear on the front of the DVD (with the exception of Hiroshima Nagasaki). I'm guessing there's no way Don and crew could keep that from him so why not just let it out while still preserving the better parts of the joke.

Second, most of the stuff that Perry believes is all the stuff that strokes his ridiculously inflated ego. For instance...

The Stone Fury role (his big break)

Burt Ward (personal assistant who bows to his every whim)

Santiago (gay wardrobe assistant who wants to go down on him)

Carson Daly (wants to be Italian like Perry)

Tony Barbieri (wants to be Italian like Perry)

etc etc etc...

Also, this should go in the "Favorite Lines" thread, but there's a part in the commentary where he goes "I'm not into chicks with dots on their heads" or something close to that.

I have chatted with Perry online and he said that he figured it out during the filming of it.

of course he says that now.

i too chatted on line w/perry - - extensively

originally he told me that he knew it was a gag

then later, he confessed that he did NOT know

i believe the latter to be the case

if he DID know, then he is the greatest actor since brando, btw

INTERNET RULE NUMBER ONE:

NEVER believe ANYBODY claiming to be someone even at least semi-well known. It's not them. People with lives aren't on my intarnets.

If you think Perry has a life, you're as delusional as he is.

Seriously, though. Perry is on MySpace (and, yes, it is definitely him) and everyone messes with him, like Don and Mole, and it's just as effective as when they do it.

Well, I have not seen the movie yet, but I can tell you I know Perry from MySpace, and he is not only extremely gullible, he is a complete ass. He fancies himself an "actor/comedian" (I would love to see that act) and writes idiotic blogs about himself, which several people join just to make fun of him. He never catches on to any jokes, except for the most blatantly obvious, and he takes flamebait like a god-damned catfish. He seems to have about a sixth-grade level intelligence, and is downright terrible at detecting sarcasm. He seems to now be aware that the movie was a prank--or rather, he knows that the finished product was not what it was supposed to be--and yet he stills promotes it with the same ego-stroking gusto. Somebody made a comment that he was a "fag" for not doing the sex scene in the movie, and he responded, "IF I HAD SLEPT WITH JIGGLY WRIGLY AKA LISA KUSHELL HER HUSBAND WOULD HAVE KILLED ME." That speaks volumes about his grasp of reality. He knows (now) that the people involved in WCH were played by actors, but he still does not understand the basic elements of the prank (Does he really think that in a sex scene you really have to have sex?). He is a very strange case indeed, and I would say, the perfect subject for a prank.

Tee hee!

This is no joke, Katy. Check for "Scaryperry" on my friend list and go read his blogs. This guy is the real deal. (I would send him a friend request were I you; you would have a blast with him.)

Ha ha, I just read some. Good stuff!
