J.J. Abrams Must Be Bored On The Set Of Downton Abbey
Yesterday, J.J. Abrams’s production company, Bad Robot, tweeted this picture of Mr. Abrams on the set of the hit PBS show, Downton Abbey. This picture is funny to me, because while on the one hand, sure, I like Downton Abbey, and visiting the set of a television show that you like would be really fun and special and neat and exciting, I’m not J.J. Abrams. He’s a big-time movie director and TV creator. He lives his life on iconic sets. The fuck does he care about being on some set? Especially a set that isn’t his set? “So this is your set, huh? It is different in some ways but similar in some ways to my set.” How boring this must be for him. It’s like if I visited you at your office. YUCK. It’s not that I don’t like you, you seem great, but your office is Snoozeville. “Oh, you have a printer, too? Yeah, I have a printer. That’s so funny HAHAHHAHAHAHHA where did you go to school?!” And then I would go into your office bathroom and stay there until it was time to leave.
