Finally...THE
INTERVIEW...to end
all Interviews!! Lots of News
today!! Possibly all the hard work I've
poured into the site for the last 2+
years has finally paid off. Tuesday night
I received an letter/email from Irwin M.
Fletcher himself...Mr. Chevy Chase. Now I
cannot reveal how this came about, and in
actuality, I fell ass backwards into
this. Just dumb luck. But it is 100%
legit. Chevy sent me and extremely nice
and decently thoughtful letter and has
agreed to do an interview with us. So
once again...I am providing the community
of fletchwon.net the chance to submit
your Fletch questions and I will pick
some of the good ones. Submit them on the
message board in THIS
TOPIC.

FLETCH
WON
Chevy
let me know that he's not at the moment doing
Fletch Won. "for
the record, I am not making any movie by that
name (Fletch Won) with those actors.
Wish I were, but I can't, for the life of me,
figure out how you would hear such an apocryphal
thing." I
take that as a positive statement actually. He's
simply saying he's not currently doing it. But he
hasn't been contacted because the movie is still
probably a little less than a year from
pre-production. The "( I ) wish
I were" part gives us all hope that
when Kevin does contact him, they can put the
past behind them and create one hell of a movie.
| Chevy also
informed me that what most of us feared
is true. He was amazed on how he is
misrepresented in the media. He sited an
example for me..."It amazes me
how inaccurate stuff written about me is,
even in "reputable" papers or
magazines, (not to mention books like the
recent Shales' SNL "quotes").
An example: when I related the story
about me and Billy fighting, I
specifically said, I guess he wanted
"to take me down a couple of
rungs," an expression referring to
my egotism at the time, back in '78, |
| or
whenever. The book only quotes,
"...take me down" period. You
can see the difference in what the reader
might infer. The former, my actual quote,
doesn't suggest, as does the latter, that
Bill wanted to physically fight. But
Shales wants the reader to think that
that was what I was saying, so he leaves
out two simple words." |
Hearing
that, as a fan, really
disappoints me. That
is why I've wanted to do this interview so badly.
I want to give Chevy the chance to tell his side,
showing him in a positive light and find out some
goodies about our favorite movies...Fletch and
Fletch Lives.
Creamy Italian was kind enough to submit a G.
Gordon Liddy drawing for us. Check it out by
going to the "Draw Fletch" Section.
And last
but not least, in an equally huge story....I've
filed all the June, July, and August Fletch news
in the Records Room -B1
