View Full Version : Was the re-enactment dialog improvised?

In one of the commentaries, Cosgrove mentions that the re-enactment dialog is generally improvised. I imagine they gave the actors bullet points to work with, and obviously the people playing themselves shouldn't need much coaching, but I was surprised that there would be no scripted dialog in the re-enactments. Think of how many amazing lines quoted over and over on this forum just randomly rolled off the actor's tongue...

Hey, I was going to say it, you just beat me to it. I would HOPE that sort of bad acting was improv. I'd hate to think they rehearsed it!

I actually read an article about UM recently which stated that you could tell just how good the acting was in each segment. Apparently, if the segment was *more* narrated by Robert Stack/Dennis Farina, the acting was crap.

I thought that was hilarious.

On a side note, I just figured out who had Jonathan. Poltergeists. :crazy: :lol:
