I worked on a few movies with him.
Here’s the exact exchange I overheard between him and a PA on the set of Finestkind:
PA: “Can I get you anything, Mr. Jones?”
Tommy Lee Jones: “I’ll have some hot tea please.”
PA: “We have Oolong tea, Earl Grey, Green Tea, or would you like something else?”
Tommy Lee Jones: “I’d like a hot cup of too many fucking questions!”
So yeah. This is EXACTLY what he’s like. He does NOT put up with bullshit.
There’s not putting up with bullshit and there’s being an asshole, he lands on either side depending. Him hating Jim Carrey for no reason is an asshole move, being a dick to the person serving you and trying to get you what you like is also an asshole move. He could have said “earl grey please” with less words than he used to bitch out the poor employee for doing their job.
I think actors who talk down to and treat the crew badly are pieces of shit, meanwhile hot hear about other actors taking the crew out for drinks and treating them as equals
Look into one Mr. Frank Grillo for all of the things you seek.
That was not very nice of him.
Yeah how is that putting up with bullshit? Is your waitress handing you a menu bullshit? Like she should just psychically know what you want?
I hope he got a cup of plain hot water for this.
Makes sense given he couldn't condone Jim Carrey's buffoonery.
Air fryers are nothing but small convection ovens with fancy pre-sets. I’m a bit mystified that people think you can’t use them for anything other than greasy breaded foods.
My air fryer has a thermometer probe attachment and came with roast pans because it’s made to do everything, including whole chickens, roasts, or steak. (It’s roughly the size of a microwave)
Why not put it in the air fryer? Better than eating raw meat
Son. There is nothing better than eating raw meat.
I read that in Tommy's voice.
It's actually really good for a reverse sear. The air circulates at a more even temp than a regular oven and can be kept at a nice low consistent heat.
Just pop it in the air fryer at 250f and bring the steak 10 degrees from your desired cooking temp and then finish it off on some cast iron.
Was looking for this comment.
I had an air-fryer long before i started to put steak in it, i just assumed it couldn't come close to doing it myself in a pan.. Till we tried it after an exhausting day. Never went back.
I would also still highly recommend finishing it off in a pan but overal the process is much easier and the steaks reliably good.
Yeap, kinda the epiphany on my end. Had a steak I was wanting to reverse sear but already had the oven set for something else. Figured the air fryer was just a fancy oven and gave it a shot. Steak came out better than normal and have been doing it ever since.
I haven't tried finishing it in the air fryer yet, been worried it might not sear correctly since it's not getting direct heat.
They should make another Men in Black movie with him and Will Smith
