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.

Standing Up, Sitting Down
Standing Up, Falling Down WRITTEN BY Peter Hoare DIRECTED BY Matt Ratner RATING: R RUNTIME: 91 minutes Watching an actor do something unexpected can bring a welcome frisson to almost any project. Consider Daniel Craig’s rollicking turn as a redneck thief in Steven Soderbergh’s Logan Luck y, (my seatmate didn’t even realize she was watching Craig until the closing credits of the film) or Gene Hackman, in Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein as the lonely good Samaritan looking to share cigars and espresso with Peter Boyle’s monster. It’s thrilling to see a performance that makes you realize how versatile some performers are and how their work livens up what could be an ordinary film. To the list of actors looking to broaden their range, we can now add Billy Crystal. Far removed from the days of such of his monster hits as City Slickers , When Harry Met Sally and Analyze This , Crystal has spent much of the aughts as a still-in-demand talk guest and touring with 700 Sundays , the o...
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.
