They bought my name for the movies!
Steve Zissou's alter ego might be a deep water explorer, but most of the time, you can find the real guy in Queens. [via]
I had no idea that they DID this in the movie business.
-
it's new preemptive strategy. they couldn't change peter parker's address somethings should stay the same people get 8675309 on purpose now
-
Good point.
-
No! I am Steve Zissou!
-
I use the Jenny number for the phone and 90210 for the zip to fill in fake forms online.
-
I'm a hundred-year old female preacher from Antartica when I fill out forms online, and I don't think I'm the only one.
-
A good thing Steve is not a common name in France. I found tons of Zissous in minutes.
-
NO!! I am Steve Zissou and so is my wife!
-
i'm dave gorman and zelig and the real guy in "your so vain" and the walrus
-
i think wes just wanted to name a real zissou in the credits
-
Well, well... there's a (realtively recent) movie with my very own, real name on it... they never called! Could I sue?
-
(That googling my name turns out a milion guys with the same name might have something to do with it, I guess... mmmh...)
-
I don't get it -- why is this newsworthy? The name doesn't have any particular meaning in regards to the movie, does it? I mean, it could have been called "The Life Aquatic With John Doe" and it would have been the exact same movie, right? I mean, the name has no bearing on the plot...or am I missing something?
