LOL Just like Rex Harrison.

Actually, Zach was supposed to do a "spit take" during that scene as an homage to "My Fair Lady", but Robert Iscove protested and the scene was never shot that way. It ended up as you saw it. Just a bit more useless trivia for you all. LOL

What is a "spit take" ?

Who's rock star ?

Robert Iscove did the right move...

The Downstairs Scene is now a classic with RLC fans !

It's cool if you like it, it's okay if you don't, just decide for yourselves...

A "spit take" is used in movies when someone is drinking something and something causes them to spit it out (usually in an exaggerated spray). Often, it is something that surprises them or something of that sort. It is usually for comedic effect.

Thanks TR, I understand now

I think the spit take would have been too much. I prefer when he looks in awe instead of spitting Simon's fake Margarita...

Man, if that 'spit take' did happen it would be like disrespecting Laney, I think that's what any woman would feel. I appreciate Robert Iscove for having protested that. You should never spit in the presence of a lady, my mom and gramma always told me.

I agree with RealLiveClaude...it would have been too much....

Although there have been some great spit takes in other movies, i dont think it is what the downstairs scene is all about...Zack's pleasantly surprised expression certainly says more about what he's thinking and it suits the mood of the scene better...

It would have also distracted from the bit where Laney trips and the music stops...which always makes me smile....

I like all of her movies, hard to make an decision. she is so cute in Josie, she's hot in Tangled... well she was even nice in "all I wanna do". hmmm, I can't make a choice, because I liked her too much in every single movie

Well, it wasn't a violent "spit-take" that was planned with fluid spraying out of his mouth. LOL Zach was supposed to simply let his drink dribble back into the glass from his mouth with a stunned look on his face. Watch the same scene in "My Fair Lady" and you will know what I'm talking about. Rex Harrison does just that.

Maybe that clarifys it more.

Well i voted for others... I like AntiTrust best...

But for the best role and acting by RLC i must say SAT..

So they're pretty much tied for the first place

no brainer for me---jatp

[*****WARNING: ANTI-TRUST SPOILER WITHIN******* -TR]

I just saw Anti-Trust last night, although she looked good in the movie she didn't appear much and she had a few lines in there. And I really didn't expect her to be one of the bad guys, man that was disappointing. Any way, she did good in her acting, I just hoped that she had more appearances there and a richer script bady girl or not.

I saw the movie, but some people don't, so don't tell the end of the story, thanks
