too hip to hop or to PoP?

........ middle of an international phone call

A: Here's the description of Julian.

J: Anything interesting?

A: Just listen.

Julian Beckett

20 something indie producer, never appears clean-shaven, a tight button up shirt, untucked, tight ball crushing jeans with a white belt, 80s throwback sunglasses, messy hair, white shoes or sneakers, smoker, talks about "needing to go to yoga", is "green", flirts with vegetarianism and waify girls, adores musicians, secretly wants to be one; suggestion of not always that "low"; makes demands on set to exert his power, not for any creative purpose; committed to being hip for the sake of being hip, emulates other indie directors; "gets" the business and the " kids"

J: Damn, kinda a Brett Rattner and Paul Thomas Anderson mash up? (laughing)

A: (laughing too) Yeah you got it.

J: That describes 80% of the indie guys out there. Think CW going let them get away with the smoking and not low part ?

A: Just smoke mirrors and the power of suggestion. Remember I'm an actor.

J: Oh that's right. I think I've seen in you in a few things.

A: You have have you?

J: (changing the subject) Ahem, what does Sophia think?

A: She thinks is pretty damn funny, especially that I have to lay down to get the damn jeans zipped. They're debating these Asics sneakers which make my feet look like boats and this funky white vintage albino crocodile shoes. I'm wearing my own watch. Gotta give the Nichols signature look.

J: Nichols signature huh? Thought you'd try for a hat or suspenders or a funky coat. The watch, and not the ring?

A: You know I would if I could.

J: I know, and I know you you're pushing for those god awful white shoes. You're gonna tell them that Sam Fuller wore them around town back in the day or something aren't you?

A: (busting) Well yeah..

J: You are so full of bullshit, you already did, didn't you?

A: So whaddya think?

J: Think you're full of bullshit, and you're gonna walk like Frankenstein.

A: Hey now, this isn't about my forehead.

J: Didn't say it was, was talking about those damn tight jeans and those shoes. Tell Sophia to take a picture worthy of the hipster indie producer and send it.
