The Secrets of ITAS.
20 September 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Maybe it's the only comment here which has a spoiler alert, because I'll reveal some real secrets from this show; like how (Robin Williams) is an intellectual actor, not only a clever clown, who quitted drugs because the love of his child, and the death of his fellow (john Belushi), and how he could answer every question by a long, breathtaking and totally improvised sketch! How (Ben Affleck) reacted when he first saw a screenplay for him in shooting (cried), or when he won the Oscar in the age of 26, and the different endings of his (Good Will Hunting)'s script, and how (Will Smith)'s word (Gettin Jiggy With It) is considered valid, accepted and appeared in the new dictionary, while he still doesn't know the actual meaning of it!

(Val Kilmer) is actually a poet who hates his movies (Top Gun, Batman Forever, The Island of Dr. Moreau.. etc.) being the best man on earth to mock at them, and tell jokes about them. (Harrison Ford) is comedian, let alone that he co-wrote most of his movies (without credits!). (Clint Eastwood) can SMILE, and LAUGH TOO, and made his entire career by believing in "take your work serious, but don't take your life so serious" rule.

(Hugh Jackman) is not only "Wolverine" from (X Men), but also a fine singer and a star of great musical plays. (Antonio Banderas) works with no exact method, waiting for the truth to hit him the second he dies! (Debra Winger) is a nice and melancholy woman who slept in a grave once just to see the influence of that on her, so she can use those new feelings in a role later (!) since she see that "the one who doesn't surprise himself is just not knowing himself"!

(Ed Harris) is a great man who believes in one principle, that effected me as a screenwriter myself, I'll paraphrase it: "after all your studying, just leave yourself free, and forget what you've studied, because after that, your own sense will choose what it needs, and can succeed with", though I didn't understand his very long hard silence when he mentioned accidentally his parents! (Kevin Spacey) is a perfect genius in impersonation American and British actors (and actresses too!). (Bette Midler) stayed for 3 whole years with no job, right after winning the Oscar!

Well, these are some parts of the secrets. So of course with the wit, great culture, and the sense of humor of (James Lipton), you'll know the real secrets of this show's magic, charm and continuance. And yes, Mr. (Lipton) has sense of humor which is natural and quick at repartee, just keep watching carefully and you'll discover that, along with a lot more also; because this is a rare simple show that can enjoy as well as learn in the same time.
