When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

Not only forgot my music bag after digging out from a sub-zero wall of snow, but added extra fun by wearing giant moon boots. No organ shoes = stocking feet. All proper technique is for naught.
