Now we all know that Todd Field invented Big League Chew. What I am positing is that maybe that's the reason he has made so few movies. Field's coasting on his Chew dough. Unlike a normal person who starts to run out of money and has to keep plying their trade, Field can go years or decades without directing a movie since he doesn't feel the heat at his back. Imagine how many mastárpieces we've missed out on because of that goddamn wacky tobaccy! Thoughts?

He told Maron he doesn’t get a dime from it. It’s the other people who had more of a role in inventing it who get the money.
He makes his money from directing commercials and selling screenplays, etc.
(Also learned that his father in law is Bo Goldman, Oscar-winning screenwriter of Cuckoos Nest and Melvin & Howard, and Bo now lives with Todd and his wife in Maine. That’s a lot of screenwriting talent in one home!!!!)

For a moment, truly thought this post was gravely misspelling Bubba Gump

A pitcher for the team Rob Nelson and hall of fame player Jim Bouton took it to Wriggle and got all the money. By and by, the team was the Portland Mavericks, which was an independent minor league team owned by Bing Russell, whose son Kurt played for them in 1973 at the tail end of his Disney Star period
