A little background on this thread-

About a month back, I took my wife and her sister and her friend to JTree because my sister in law and the friend were just learning to climb
(blog). From San Diego to JT they blasted Lady Gaga and the following days while climbing I got all her songs stuck in my head.

In an attempt to minimalize the damage to my ego, I searched for Lady Gaga parodies and stumbled upon these...which I was quite pleased with. It occurred to me that Walken is one of the best and most versatile actors out there.

And hilarious.

Pulp Fiction

"Got somethin for ya! This watch right here, was first purchased by your great grandfather during the first world war"
"Your great grandfather gave this watch to your grandad for good luck"
"This watch was on your dadd'ys wrist when he was shot down over Hanoi, he was captured and put in a Vietnamese prison camp"
"He knew if they found it, they'd confiscate it, so he hid it up his ass, for five long years, then he died of dysintary, he gi'mme the watch, I hid this unconfortable hunk of metal up my ass two years..."
"Now, little man, I give the watch to you!"

You can never have too much cowbell.




And you can never be too suave with the ladies.

From his column in The Onion, 'Walken in LA'.


Do you enjoy eating hot dogs? I hope you won't be put off by my frankness when I tell you that I absolutely love them. In fact, I enjoy no food item more than a freshly-boiled hot dog.

Now, I've done a lot of movies, and it's true that I've worked with quite a few celebrities who did not share this opinion. I'm sorry to say that these people have always angered me. There are two types of people in this world: those who eat hot dogs whenever it is possible to do so, and those who opt to do other things with their free time.

Who do the latter think they are kidding? What pastime could be more rewarding than the consumption of hot dogs? I haven't yet found one, and I don't expect to in my lifetime.

Unlike other foods, hot dogs can be eaten at any time, in any place, and it is not necessary to cook them. Now, I ask you: Why not eat hot dogs? They are delicious. I carry a bag of hot dogs with me wherever I go. I eat them from the bag whenever I get the urge, regardless of the circumstances. When I make a movie, my hot dogs are my co-stars. If, in the middle of a scene, I decide I want to consume a hot dog, I do so. I waste the director's time and thousands of dollars in film stock, but in the end, it is all worth it, because I enjoy eating hot dogs more than I enjoy acting.

This bothers some people. I was supposed to portray Batman, but when Tim Burton learned of my hot dog cravings, he asked Michael Keaton to wear the cape. To this day, I am peeved about this.

When we filmed The Dead Zone, I ate over 800 hot dogs a day. It was necessary. My character needed to come across as intense as possible, and I found the inspiration for that intensity in my intense love for hot dogs. The director, David Cronenberg, said that he would never work with me again. I kept eating hot dogs when the cameras were rolling, and that seemed to bother him. I say f*ck him. He doesn't even like hot dogs.

I would like to end by emphasizing once again that I really like to eat hot dogs. If any of you people disagree, I loathe you. I despise you. Not only that, but I also despise all your loved ones. I want to see them torn to pieces by wild dogs. If I ever meet you in person, I'll smash your brains in with a f*cking bat. Then we'll see who doesn't like hot dogs.

best christopher walken imitation ever was by keven pollack, in the film "the aristocrats." great movie, but that scene alone would carry it. pretty sure you can find it on youtube.

Walken is awesome!

He was probably his most 'normal' in The Deer Hunter. Great job he did though, in the flick.

That 'cooking with Walken' video impersonation is pretty funny.

Here's a good one...

true cw story
i was catering a tv movie with cw in kansas about 13 years ago. i was the salad guy.
so i put my salads out on the table one day before lunch. as usual i adorned the table with different color peppers and kale...for decorative purposes.
so cw comes through the buffet a few minutes before the crew broke for lunch. no big deal.
he walked up and down the line scoping the salads. grabbed his plate, proceeded to take all the peppers and kale i garnished the table with and went back to his trailor. whatever!
