I think there's no going back because "impossible to make" isn't a restriction anymore.

whatever idiotic, illusion breaking idea the makers have, can be made real with enough CGI.

name-dropper

fucking seriously, IZ has had a drink with everyone famous you know of.

OK, how 'bout... Jackie Chan, Lia Marie Johnson, or Victor Borge? IZ, go!

Why do these famous people keep going to to Portland?
Must be to have drinks with you.

That explains why Richard Gere wouldn't talk to me at that really gawdawful richfuck party in Manhattan. He kept calling me "Not Infinite Zest" and shaking his head in disdain.

Haha this was in Milwaukee Wisconsin, not Portland. He was keynote speaker for the International Film Festival I was working for even though there was no Harold Ramis movie, which didn't make a lot of sense. I saw various people when I was working on Portlandia too, but when you're an extra you don't talk, or at least I didn't, unless you're spoken to. Being a movie grunt making 7 bucks an hour warranted many more cool celebrity beer-drinking experiences.
