What's his best role? Is he really as big of a prick as people say he is?
>>220071351Murray is way worse
>>220071391In terms of talent or being a jerkoff?
>>220071351>Is he really as big of a prick as people say he is?Nobody has ever said this.
>>220071491I knew Belushi and Akroyd in Chicago back in the 70s. I met them after Blues Brothers went into first release when they had a joint on Wells behind the Earl of Old Town. Both of these guys were from Second City and were well familiar with the town, Belushi having grown up there. So being out of town or unfamiliar doesn't cut it as any excuse. Akroyd was always a sanctimonious prick; he didn't know me until he wanted something, he was all over me until he got it, and then it was back to not knowing me again. Belushi was a nice guy, but was being badly served by his groupies. His brother Jim was also a regular guy.
>>220071562thanks chatgpt
He's just a weirdo who believes in ghosts and aliens.

>>220071562What's the context? Were you someone Aykroyd actually needed to know or were just a functionary hanging around?Also>The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood.Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact.
>>220071660Arent they going to be proven right in a matter of weeks now?
>>220071351best role is either Trading Places or Driving Miss Daisy. He has been nominated for Golden Raspberries many times. I liked him, Chase, and John Candy in Nothing But Trouble.
>>220071841No.
>>220071673It reads like I should be flipping a coin in my hand and smoking a cigar while walking through a shady alley, just doesn't come off as real.
>>220071351Nah he's just fucking crazy.
>>220071351I like when he used a ball to break colored blocks.
>>220071351Aykroyd is too based for the normies
>>220073276What’s his best work?
>>220073432Ghostbusters. Ramis needed to reign in his sheer autism for the actual movie (The original script was Dan and Belusi driving a black herse through time and killing hitler or something) but the paranormal was def his hyperfixation.
>>220071351I learned about this movie from looking up the coneheads in castle crashers
>>220073432for me its doctor detroit
>>220073652Based
Is he a loon or not?

>>220076314Yes
>Dan Aykroyd lost it at one point during shooting on the Paramount lot. In full "Conehead" attire, the actor threw a mega screaming fit at the studio's Melrose Avenue gate after his personal wardrobe person was reprimanded by a security guard for busting the lot's 8-mile-an-hour speed limit. Aykroyd was so peeved after the incident - and after hearing that one of his production assistants was given a hard time when he tried to enter the lot late one night - that he burst into the guard station and trashed it. He threw everything on the floor, pulled one of the phones out of the wall, threw papers, knocked the computer on the floor and held the button down on the wooden arm (that lets the cars in) and started motioning incoming cars to 'please come right in ... welcome to Paramount Pictures.' A female security guard witnessing the incident got so upset that she hyperventilated and had to go to the lot's infirmary. At one point during his tirade, Aykroyd commandeered one of the studio's golf carts and drove around screaming and cursing.
>>220076678Hello based department?
I don't know if he was a prick but he sure wasn't funny.
>>220076841He’s hilarious, you didn’t like coneheads?
>>220073652He had to be doing untold amounts of cocaine to play that role.
>>220077438Sounds fun desu
>>220076678Why didn't they film this and put it in the movie?
>>220077915Because it would be too good and overshadow the movie
>>220076678Is he actually /ourguy/??
>>220076678MAINTAIN LOW TONES
>>220079143kek
>>220077981lmao pretty much, like when Patrick Bateman freaked out at the Terminator film crew. I can't remember a single thing about the crappy movie itself but his freakout is forever in mind.
>>220080675who was in the wrong?
>>220080291 kek maintain LOW TONES, earth servant imagine getting cone-raged at by Beldar himself while he’s in full prosthetics screaming about 8 MPH violations. security guard probably thought it was an alien psy-op from PSI-FACTOR honestly if you’re gonna have a meltdown on a studio lot, doing it in full Conehead regalia and waving cars through the gate like you own Paramount is objectively the funniest possible way to do it. that’s commitment to the bit LOW TONES.
>>220083079Id die from laughter id imagine
>>220071351>>220071391>white actors badjam boy thread
>>220076678>A female security guard witnessing the incident got so upset that she hyperventilated and had to go to the lot's infirmary.This is the kind of thing that needs to be engraved over the gates of the camp our culture needs to be put in.
coneheads, toonces, etc were funny as shit in the classic silly lightearted boomer way we all enjoyed in the 80s but coneheads as a movie was a wtf move even in its daythe evolution of comedy is so weird. it's indeed hard to find the old stuff we grew up guffawing too as "funny" these days, but everything now is completely miserable and certainly none of it is funny
>>220083170how did coneheads get greenlit for a full movie?
>>220083205Simple answer Wayne's World was a huge hit and paramount wanted another SNL movie.
I am convinced Aykroyd has thousands of pages of notes detailing everything about Conehead anatomy, history, culture, and technology. There was a companion book for the movie he co-authored that went into way too much detail about stuff like Conehead reproduction to be a joke. It was clear he put some actual thought into it.
>>220083923I would have watched a serious sequel
Was it a grift?
>>22008433650/50 grift and genuine akyroyd insanity
>>220084336I always looked at that in the store when I was a kid
>>220071660Mans a high functioning autistic weirdo but gets along with everyone, even people that all hate each others guts all love Dan.Oddly enough it's the same with Bill Murray's brother.
He’s not a prick, he’s just a fucking lunatic. Too much LSD in the 70s. And if you don’t say Spies like Us you’re a millennial who deserves nothing.

>>220071351>s he really as big of a pricknever heard any rumours that hes a diva, only a nice guy that has a touch of the autism for cars and aliens
>>220084336No, its legitimately good vodka.
>>220085453But is it really a crystal alien skull or just normal glass?
>>220084336All "premium" vodka is a grift. At least it comes in a funny bottle
>>220086142Its just normal glass, of course. The bottle is very unique and human-like, not alien at all. It would be very hard to handle or store if it was like the actual elongated crystal skulls, never mind being able to even move it on a factories conveyor belt.The gimmick behind the process of making it is having the alcohol get filtered through authentic Herkimer diamonds before bottling.
>>220071351>What's his best role?Probably Elwood.
>>220071351He's not a prick, but he is insane and really, really loves shilling his vodka.In the UK we have this cooking show on Saturday mornings where a bunch of literal who "celebrities" from UK TV sit around talking to the chef and trying his food, and a few months back for no reason at all Dan Aykroyd was one of the guests. The funniest part is he barely spoke, instead of just taking a few mouthfuls of the meal and chatting to the chef, he fucking loved the food and just kept eating. Naturally he mentioned his vodka, I swear it's in his contract now.
