Hey, Hoping someone with better Google-fu or YouTube-fu than I have can find the IFC promos that they did about 10 years ago with Hallie Kate Eisenberg. They’ve got to be online somewhere. The promos may have played on T.V., but I remember seeing them play before the trailers at the local “Art House” movie theater. Eisenberg, who was about 4 or 5 years old at the time, played a cutting edge independent film director who’s recent film _Horses Are Pretty_ had been creating a lot of buzz a recent film festivals. (“I call my film _Horses Are Pretty_ because horses _are_ pretty”) The promos were really funny, I remember two of them- maybe there were more. The first one: Shows behind the scenes footage of Eisenberg directing her film, screaming at the actors. Actors talk about how difficult she can be, but that it’s part of her genius. Lili Taylor shows a bite mark on her arm where Eisenberg had bitten her when she tried to ad-lib a line. The second one: Matt Damon sitting at a table with Eisenberg. Telling her what a big fan he is, how he loved _Horses Are Pretty_ and he just can’t wait to see her new film, _Oogy Boogy Booger_. Edward Norton stops by the table. Introduces himself to Eisenberg, apologizes for turning down _Oogy Boogy Booger_. Says his agent steered him away from it, says he hadn’t seen _Horses Are Pretty_ and didn’t realize what an amazing talent she was. Matt Damon becomes very upset. “You were offered _Oogy Boogy Booger_??? I _wanted_ that part! I saw _Horses Are Pretty_!” ---

Thanks, **Friar Ted**! I see I got the films mixed up, _Horses Are Pretty_ was her second film, _Oogy Boogy Booger_ was the first. A lot of the humor is lost without the visual, but still pretty funny. I wish I could find the one with Lili Taylor, that one was probably the best. ---
