Acting! Brilliant! Thank you!
I finally remembered to record an episode of L&O:CI 90210 NCISLA with Goldblum in it. If you get a chance, grab an episode that he’s in and look at the opening. As they do on all the L&O shows, after they show the stills of the cast, there’s the part where all the principals stride purposefully toward the camera. Honest to God, I watched it ten times because I needed to make sure of this, but you can tell that Goldblum was fucking around every time they shot it and they ended up using the least objectionable one. He’s walking toward the camera with this fey little grin on his face and he’s almost skipping, and maybe three frames before they cut, you can see Bogosian starting to laugh. Priceless.

The Dea(r)th of Privacy This was posted on someone's Facebook page, right out there for public consumption: "Whoever recommended against me for a job i am pursuing: shame on you. i am perfect for it. shame on you." For whose benefit was that posted? Was it someone she was friends with that slagged her and kept her from getting the gig? No. She was just pouting publicly. Why do people get off on that? And there are responses to it! About how people are just jealous or threatened. Last night, another of my "friends" posted that she was going to "going upstairs to cuddle with her handsome hubby." When did nothing become private? And if you're going to announce to the world that you're going to have sex, don't be coy about it. Post positions, accessories, duration, method of birth control. Enquiring minds want to know! I can’t really fathom the pathology of passing on the minutiae of one’s day, the minuscule crumbs of accomplishment

Does a Second Career Necessitate a First One?

If you had asked me at 24 whether I would be teaching preschool at 44, the answer would have been "I certainly hope not." Actually, it would have been "fuck, no." Such is the folly and faux-foresight of the young, as here I am, an almost-old man in a world of mostly-young women. Be careful what you don't wish for. So twenty years of working among virtual children in the form of network executives has given way to spending my days with actual ones. I had had enough of going into every new gig with eyes wide open, free of guile and suspicion, only to find myself as the returning champion in another game of "Watch Your Back." ("With your Watchmaster, Jim Lange!") Twenty years of guys who needed it taken "to the next level," but who rigged the staircase that went there with explosives. Network execs who were self-described "aesthetes" and came bearing offbeat music choices, ironic eyewear and hilarious tales of being th
