For anyone who’s ever faced a personal challenge, it doesn’t get much better than the 'Six Minutes' speech in VISION QUEST. This scene wasn’t in the 1979 novel by Terry Davis. Elmo's monologue was written specifically for the film by screenwriter Darryl Ponicsan (THE LAST DETAIL, TAPS). Actor J. C. Quinn absolutely knocks it out of the park here.
If you’d like to support the @FMJDiary project, you can bid on an original poster below. I signed and inscribed it with Elmo’s iconic line: “It ain't the six minutes... it's what happens in that six minutes.”

‘120 Minutes’ premiered on MTV 40 years ago today.
Airing Mondays from 1–3 a.m. EST, it was conceived as a showcase for new and experimental videos. After it moved to midnight and narrowed its focus to alternative, ‘120’ became essential viewing for fans of cutting-edge bands.
41 years ago today…

The day I first met James Van Der Beek, he was auditioning to play Rick, the Quarterback/Homecoming King/Asshole/Bully in "Angus". When he walked in, and was, instead of what I was expecting, one of the most charming guys I'd ever had try out for a part, I thought, "Kid... you need to come through the door in character-- You need to make me feel the way I did every time the jocks that used to torture geeks like ME used to feel when GODS like you walked into a room!" Instead, James read the part-- and played it-- just as charming as he really was. And, somewhere in the middle of it all, it hit me like a frozen pint of Uta Hagen Daz ice cream to the head-- that the Rick we needed HAD to be exactly as charming as James really was. He needed to be the guy everyone-- even his bullying victims-- could hardly help but have a crush on. It made him far more powerful than some simmering, knuckle-dragging, brute. James knew exactly what he was doing that day... And he took his considerable skills and complete commitment to the work and built a character that really worked for the film. He used to thank me, a lot, over the course of the making of the film, for giving him his first feature leading role. But, honestly, I was the one who got the most out of that deal. So long, James. Break a leg out there.

Is it possible to separate the art from the artist?
Music publicist Nick Stewart says it’s right that some artists are boycotted, but warns we’re treading a fine line between justice and censorship.
