Jon Bernthal reveals the hilarious way comic book stores treated him after he was cast as the Punisher.
“I went to a comic book store in Ventura, and there’s a guy smoking a cigarette outside. I said, ‘Yeah, man, I’m just looking for some Punisher comics.’
He goes, ‘Yeah, we don’t have much since the announcement.’
I’m like, ‘Announcement?’
I’m thinking, ‘That’s me. That’s my announcement.’
I thought, ‘Do I be a total douche and go over to the guy and be like, “Yeah, actually, I’m the guy?”’
So I just said, ‘Hey, man, if you could…’
And then he looked up and said, ‘Wow, it’s you.’
He was so cool and helpful. He told me, ‘You need to read this, this and this,’ and gave them to me for free.
Then I went to New York and into a comic book store in Brooklyn. I got a whole stack and went up to buy them.
He looks at me and goes, ‘Yeah, I know who you are.’
I said, ‘Okay, cool, man. I just want to buy these comics.’
He goes, ‘No, you don’t. You’re not taking this, you’re not taking this. You need to read this, this, this and this.’
I was like, ‘Okay, dude.’
And he goes, ‘Do not mess this up.’
Got it.
Conan: “Did you get it for free?”
Jon Bernthal: “No, man. No, not at all.”
This eroge I'm translating has a sex scene that furthers the plot but it's done in such a funny way like, the girl is moaning but the dude's internal monologue has slowly shifted from describing the sex to him just traumadumping to the reader.
예전에 제주 여행 갔을 때 저녁에 유명한 고깃집 갔는데 다 먹고 숙소 돌아가려고 하니까 여자 사장님께서 나오시더니 걸어갈 거냐고 여쭤보시는 거임 그래서 여기서 숙소까지 가까워서 걸어간다고 하니까 안 된다고 차 태워주겠다고 계속 그러시는 거임 그래서 호의를 계속 거절하기도 그래서 탔는데 데려다주시면서 여기서 사람 많이 없어졌다고 살인사건도 많고 실종된 사람들 많다. 근데 그냥 다 쉬쉬하는 거다. 그러면서 뒤에 얘기하신 게 근데 실종된 사람들은 다 관광객이다 관광객들은 어떻게 봐도 관광객으로 보이니까 노리면서 그런 것 같더라 이러면서 아무리 숙소까지 가까운 거리여도 택시 타고 다니라고 주의 주시면서 숙소 앞에 데려다 주시고 가심… 손님들 자주 데려다 주는 곳이고 워낙 유명해서 알 사람들은 알 듯
