Hollywood Babble On & On #488: What Makes Someone A Producer?

Welcome to the show folks...

The Producers Guild of America is officially having a hissy fit over this story where they accuse Millennium Films of giving a producer credit to Millennium bigwig Danny Dimbort's teenage granddaughter.

Well, I have to say that I am just as shocked and appalled as they are. There are rules, nay,
traditions about who qualifies for a bogus producer's credit, and in a Furious D Show exclusive, I have the list.

THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE QUALIFY
FOR BOGUS PRODUCER CREDITS
UNDER THE GUIDELINES OF THE
PRODUCERS GUILD OF HOLLYWOOD


1. Otherwise unemployable in-laws of studio/distributor/financier's CEO.

2. People owed money/favors by the other producers.

3. Ex-wives of producers as part of divorce settlements.


4. People with incriminating pictures/video/documents involving studio CEO.

5. Winner of the "Producer's Pot" Poker Game held in Jerry Bruckheimer's basement on the first Wednesday of every month.

6. Actors who think a producing credit means that they'll actually get their share of the back end. (HA!)

7. Chico from the sandwich shop, because he knows a thing or two about pastrami.

8. Studio CEO's personal astronomer, because he has better accuracy than the box office analysts.

9. The adult children of influential politicians in order to keep the government out of the studio's books.


10. The occasional mistress/dominatrix.

Can I deliver the inside scoop? Damn right I can!
