I love that they start out insulting him, and then he eventually gets them arguing with each other. That guy could charm the pants off a statue. posted by absalom at 8:22 AM on February 3, 2013 [ 8 favorites ]
Admittedly, I don't really know enough about the range and depth of personality types in the paparazzi profession to know if this sort of person exists, but I'd be willing to bet that a paparazzo who actually took a moment to politely ask Celebrity X if they could snap a photo would be able to establish a pretty good reputation/business for themselves. posted by Strange Interlude at 8:24 AM on February 3, 2013

I appreciate that JGL didn't see fit to dignify the asshole's speculation with a response. Why should it even matter? posted by Strange Interlude at 8:27 AM on February 3, 2013 [ 22 favorites ]
Good point, SI. posted by EmpressCallipygos at 8:29 AM on February 3, 2013
Although, I guess I'm cynical enough to believe that that kind of "I'm not going to dignify your speculations with an acknowlegement" is going to be lost on that paparrazi, who's going to come away thinking "ooh, wait, he didn't even try to deny that the guy he was with was his boyfriend - maybe I was right!" posted by EmpressCallipygos at 8:30 AM on February 3, 2013
People can read the date of the video for themselves, but some relevant context here is that JGL took and posted this in 2006 -- when most of the world (with the exception of those few who had seen the start of his "comeback" with 'Mysterious Skin' and 'Brick') knew him only as a lapsed child star. So the stakes (and the photographers' attitudes) were a little different than they would be today.
Not that that really makes this any less neat, I just thought it was worth noting in case it wasn't clear. posted by eugenen at 8:32 AM on February 3, 2013 [ 7 favorites ]

What percentage of these fuckers day do you think is spent in mental gymnastics justifying their shitty social bottom feeder existence? When all is said and done and you return what you took from the ground your grand contribution to human society will have been 25,000 pictures of inconvenienced people whose day you mildly spoiled in an effort to out them or catch them with a camel toe or some such shit.

I love what he says in the notes to the Youtube video:
"The only other thing I'll say is (and I had trouble deciding whether or not to be so blunt with my opinion, but here goes) I do believe that the myth of "Celebrity" is not just innocently shallow entertainment, but a powerful and fundamental part of a larger movement revolving around greed, apathy and hierarchy that is currently dragging us down, down, down, lower and scarier, and perhaps weaker than we've ever, ever been.

Miley is using a deshaking software. Probably the one that comes built into Youtube. On a very sunny day(and therefore low exposure time per frame, resulting in less motion blur), you can walk and record and it will still come out with a bizarre steadiness to it. posted by Yowser at 9:12 AM on February 3, 2013 [ 2 favorites ]
Whelk: there is nothing unreasonable about liking that accent.
I am so glad to have seen Brick and Fifty-Fifty because now I appreciate that JGL is actually a good actor; after Inception and 500 Days of Summer I assumed he only ever appeared in shitty, obnoxious films. The cognitive dissonance of how much I wanted to like him versus how little I did was kind of frustrating. But now I know he does some damn good movies, and the dissonance is all gone! Poof! posted by Rory Marinich at 9:19 AM on February 3, 2013 [ 1 favorite ]
We could help put them out of business if we stop creating a market for celebrity photos. Of course, that means that while pooping or waiting for our doctors, dentists, and hairstylists, we'd have to be willing to read articles in National Geographic and The New Yorker and The Atlantic instead of "Who Wore it Better" and "OMG BABY NEWS" in Kardassians Weekly .
It may be a tough sacrifice, but we can do it. posted by Dr. Zira at 9:21 AM on February 3, 2013 [ 21 favorites ]

Also, props to Miley Cyrus. Something about the fact that the man keeps running as she points out that she's never seen him before really drives home what a horrible feeling it must be to have these people in your life.
I'm reminded of Emma Watson saying that on her 18th birthday, a man went out of his way to get an under-skirt photograph of her panties. So damn cruel. But searching for that quote only yields me a hundred results of "Emma Watson Turns 18, Finally Shows Us Her Panties". Can we make murdering paparazzi our method of population control? posted by Rory Marinich at 9:25 AM on February 3, 2013 [ 7 favorites ]

You're probably right, but I still commend JGL on being level-headed enough to not rise to the bait. Assholes gonna be assholes. posted by Strange Interlude at 9:26 AM on February 3, 2013

Sure. On the other hand -- child actors more or less excepted -- people volunteered to be celebrities, and presumably did so knowing full well that paparazzi exist. posted by ROU_Xenophobe at 9:42 AM on February 3, 2013 [ 2 favorites ]
Haven't had a lot of opportunities to make this statement in my life, but I like the Miley Cyrus film better than the Joseph Gordon-Levitt one. Less passive-aggressive and the comment that the paparazzo jumped out of a vehicle in a handicapped parking space (yet is running like an Olympic sprinter) simply and powerfully cements her point. posted by The Gooch at 9:47 AM on February 3, 2013 [ 2 favorites ]

You can find the video my friend's husband took (before they met) of him helping Paris Hilton fill her gas tank on the side of the road. I always felt torn about it—you're only going to help with one hand while you hold the camera?—but his pap career didn't really go anywhere. And yeah, all his pap buddies were assholes, to the one.

Jodie Foster thinks this argument is full of shit.
I’ve said it before and I will say it again: if I were a young actor today I would quit before I started. If I had to grow up in this media culture, I don’t think I could survive it emotionally. I would only hope that someone who loved me, really loved me, would put their arm around me and lead me away to safety. Sarah Tobias would never have danced before her rapists in The Accused. Clarice would never have shared the awful screaming of the lambs to Dr. Lecter. Another actress might surely have taken my place, opened her soul to create those characters, surrendered her vulnerabilities. But would she have survived the paparazzi peering into her windows, the online harassment, the public humiliations, without overdosing in a hotel room or sticking her face with needles until she became unrecognizable even to herself? posted by Rory Marinich at 9:51 AM on February 3, 2013 [ 28 favorites ]

Also being in a surprisingly entertaining and pulpy bike messanger movie ( i know right) that features the closest on-screen version to his speaking accent which is usually covered over in movies.

I'm going to make a prediction. If there's much more of this it'll become a thing, and there'll be cable shows about the Paparazzi, and some of these jerkwads will become celebrities themselves. posted by George_Spiggott at 9:56 AM on February 3, 2013 [ 13 favorites ]
"What percentage of these fuckers day do you think is spent in mental gymnastics justifying their shitty social bottom feeder existence?"
No more than most of us spend in mental gymnastics justifying our existences, I'd bet. These people (and their tactics) would not exist if there wasn't a gigantic market for these photos/videos. And remember that most pap shots you see are the result of deals celebs and their marketing people make with agencies. posted by docgonzo at 10:02 AM on February 3, 2013 [ 3 favorites ]

There's money in being the pap so people do it, like any other job. No mental gymnastics needed.
And there is already a pap reality show, it's called TMZ. posted by josher71 at 10:12 AM on February 3, 2013
In the ecology of the entertainment business, the paparazzi perform a useful function. You can't have an entertainment business without them, and I doubt there is any celebrity or personality out there who does not want to promote themselves in some way - Princess Di had a pretty famous love/hate relationship with these guys.
What this fellow did is pretty interesting, but seems somewhat naive - it's all part of being a celebrity. Of course, he had no real choice, and, as Jodi Foster said above, once you become a celebrity, you're always going to be a celebrity. There's no way to stop these guys taking your photo, not even death. posted by KokuRyu at 10:17 AM on February 3, 2013 [ 1 favorite ]

Yeah, when they tried to jab him with things like "you're not important", I wouldn't have been able to resist coming back with "well, what does that make you, then?" JGL deserves a lot of credit for staying above it. posted by George_Spiggott at 10:26 AM on February 3, 2013 [ 1 favorite ]

I watched Premium Rush on the plane out of amused curiosity and when it was over I actually felt bad for doubting it. It was really well-constructed and, for a Hollywood movie, it was surprisingly restrained as far as exaggerating the reality of cycling goes. I have a real fondness for movies that set a modest goal for themselves and then follow through on it solidly and unpretentiously. posted by invitapriore at 10:26 AM on February 3, 2013 [ 5 favorites ]
There has to be some self loathing in these guys. I feel like dirt if I made my living harassing people in public. posted by zzazazz at 10:27 AM on February 3, 2013
Are there not any countries with laws against paparazzi? I would think there would be quite a bit less of this if the cost of engaging in professional harassment were higher than what you can earn by it. posted by parudox at 10:30 AM on February 3, 2013
Looks to me like the older paparazzo is the same guy as the younger one, Loopered in from the future, all hardened and embittered. posted by painquale at 10:32 AM on February 3, 2013 [ 5 favorites ]

Choosing to be an actor isn't necessarily the same as choosing to be a celebrity. We could probably have an interesting conversation about the distinctions.
We could help put them out of business if we stop creating a market for celebrity photos.
That's exactly right. Paparazzi are terrible human beings, but they would disappear tomorrow if people stopped buying tabloids at the grocery store and stopped clicking on racy links on the front page of CNN. Instead, people bookmark Perez Hilton's website on their work computers. It isn't just the paparazzi's fault. posted by cribcage at 10:35 AM on February 3, 2013
