I love EuroTrip, it actually holds up a bit better than most of the other teen comedies of the time. I had that "MAIL, MOTHAFUCKA" as my text-tone for years. (Although to solve the problem he could have just e-mailed her a different e-mail address but then zany hijinks would not have ensued.)

And yea, Matt always seems cool with doing a cameo, I guess if he laughs at the idea he's in.

I remember nothing about Euro Trip other than MAIL MOTHAFUCKAH, and that's fine by me.

I actually watched it with the commentary, and they said that it was mostly that he was filming something insanely close to them and had a half day he could run over and do it in. First time I saw the movie I thought it was just a lookalike.

I like 2Pac's cameo in Nothing But Trouble. Not only does it come out of loving nowhere, it's also the first time 2Pac rapped in public (before that he was a backup dancer for Digital Underground). Nothing But Trouble is legit cultural important because of that cameo.

Carnotaurus posted:

Matt Damon also had a great cameo in Eurotrip (Video is probably :nws:). This one was bizarre because he is orders of magnitude more famous then any of the main cast.
Kristin Kreuk was probably more famous than the main cast when movie first aired.

On the subject of Matt Damon cameos, his role in Interstellar is absolutely not just a cameo. But they also didn't really hype him being in it. I managed to see it pretty unspoiled, having only seen the occasional theater or TV ad for the movie, and when they get to the part where they open up the stasis pod, I still had that moment of "Holy poo poo is that Matt Damon??"

Clever because (at the time), the seniority of their ranks matched their levels of Hollywood fame.

There's also Peter Jackson as the santa who stabs him in the flashback, and Cate Blanchett as Janine, but you can't tell because she's in crime-scene protective gear the whole time.

I'm real cool on authors showing up in movies about their own books and that's come up a few times. Reminded me of James Dickey as the sheriff in Deliverance. I thought he did really well and came off politely intimidating with that phony southern charm really well, especially for a non actor, but I seem to remember reading that he didn't like his take and wanted another one - but that may have been Peter Benchley in JAWS.

Or both. I dunno.

Everyone go watch Deliverance and JAWS this weekend is what I'm saying.

Cameos that never were: Sergio Leone’s original plan was for the three gunmen at the train station in the first scene of Once Upon A Time in the West to be Clint Eastwood, Lee van Cleef, and Eli Wallach. Sadly, their schedules didn’t allow it.

Does Bill Bailey in Hot Fuzz count? Coz that is more a minor role than a cameo.

I like it on the directors commentary they say that the reveal he is playing twins at the end doesn't get as big a laugh in America because they have no idea who Bill Bailey is.

Also David Letterman is in the Beavis and Butthead movie, (as Butthead's dad), and also in the criminally underrated cult movie Cabin Boy.

I know who he is through Black Books, what's the meta joke about him playing twins?

It's not really that much of a joke. But to audiences who know it is Bill Bailey, it's funnier because there is two of the same famous person, but to Americans who don't know that, it's just twins. ..... I suppose, I dunno.

The first time I saw it, I got the Iain Banks joke, but not the Bill Bailey joke.

(One of the Bills Bailey is shown reading a book by Iain Banks, the literary novelist. The other of the Bills Bailey is reading a book by Iain M. Banks, the science fiction author.

Those are also both the same guy.)

MEGALA---WHO??!!??
The Movie “Idle Hands” is a slice of 90s that is way better than it had any right to be considering it’s essentially an extended version of a scene from Evil Dead 2, it’s well known that at the end the band playing at the Halloween Party is The Offspring but they are not the only pop pinkeyes in the movie, earlier on in the film the main character runs into a drive thru burger joint and takes over from the worker running the drive through window, that worker is in fact Tom Delonge from Blink 182.

Rumour has it Ricky Martin is in the movie to but I’ve not spotted that one.

Band of Brothers is also good for people who became much more famous years later. James McAvoy, Simon Pegg, Tom Hardy (Who also had a supporting role in Black Hawk Down), and Michael Fassbender are all in it in supporting roles that, with Pegg and Fassbender being particularly easy to overlook.

Coincidentally I just finished a rewatch of Band of Brothers, and this time I noticed that the D-Day episode has Andrew Scott (Moriarty in Sherlock/The Hot Priest in Fleabag).

Still not sold on Jane as an action hero though, whatever that makes me. I liked him in The Mist and in 1922. For that matter, I liked him Boogie Nights. Maybe a little too much if you know what I'm sayin.
