The comedian has been tweeting about the movie since 2015. He finally agreed to explain his obsession.
Sandra Bullock in The Net. Photo: Columbia Pictures Back in 1995, during the nascent days of the internet, Sandra Bullock starred in the cyber-mystery thriller The Net. In the film, the world of online is a place where you can both order pizza with a few button clicks and succumb to vengeful hackers hellbent on destroying your life. Nearly 25 years later, with our Domino’s Pizza Trackers and semi-regular data breaches, reality isn’t much different.
On a whim, I reached out to see if Carl Reiner would like to chat about The Net. And reader, he did. Joining him in this conversation about the utter gift that is Sandra Bullock, the technology of Pizza.net and mainframes, and why young comedians can and should make mistakes, was Lawrence O’Flahavan, his publisher at Random Content publishing, who just happened to be with him at the time of our phone call.It’s my pleasure. I really adore that girl [Sandra Bullock].
Lawrence O’Flahavan: What we did was, he wanted to write a book, I Remember Me. And I thought, “Man, the best way for us to market this is to get Carl to tweet.” And Carl said, “What’s tweet? What are you talking about?” And I said, “Carl, it’s like having an audience. You walk onto a stage and talk into a microphone. And we broadcast.” And that’s how we began his whole online presence. He had his email, he had his basic things, but his social-media presence was not active.
I know that you filmed a scene with Sandra Bullock for Ocean’s Eight that was unfortunately cut. I’m curious, was your character originally in the script or did you pull some strings so you could reprise your Ocean’s Eleven character with Sandra for a day?Reiner: I told her, I said, “You know, you did a couple little moments that are unforgettable.
She was in a high-profile relationship some years back, but they got divorced. I’m not sure what her current status is. Reiner: Judd Apatow, Sarah Silverman, Amy Schumer. Mel Brooks when he tweets. Rob Reiner, of course. Trump because anything that guy says makes me laugh because it’s just so nuts. He’s not a comedian but it’s just nuts.
