Comedy is Not Pretty

“The Office” guru Ricky Gervais is having some fun shooting his new flick, “This Side of the Truth,” up in Lowell. And if you don’t believe us, just check out his blog.

“Two great days in a row,” Ricky wrote in his most recent dispatch. “And by that I mean we finished at 4 p.m. . . . People can’t understand how we are doing such short hours. The answer is simple; I am turning in some very shoddy work. This won’t even go straight to dvd. This is going straight to radio.”

Ricky’s flick, which stars Gervais, Tina Fey, Jennifer Garner, Rob Lowe, Christopher Guest and Jeffrey Tambor, is about a town where no one has ever lied - until a writer decides to give it a whirl.

Hey, I know it's just a joke but he could have said the local cable access channel...but he didn't. Inconsequential I know, but kinda telling...no?
