I watched a very silly SCRUBS episode from last night.














 JD. on a road trip to see the first ultrasound on his baby only to be told his girl friend had lost it. Only she hadn't. Don't know where is all going.

SUPERNATURAL had a creepy episode with a possessed Sam tearing the place up. That demon, whom we've been following for the better part of a season now, is really a hell raiser!  :D

Over at the Home Theater Forum, we've been talking about the upcoming DVD release of CAN-CAN (slated for May). Was this film shown in any roadshow engagements? The reason I ask is that on the first (pan and scan) laserdisc, there was an overture and intermission music, but on the letterboxed laser (and on the AMC taping I have in widescreen), there was no overture or intermission.

Anyway, it's not a very good musical, but some of the dancing is noteworthy. I put in my VHS copy of the AMC widescreen presentation and watched the first half hour.

In other news...

I'm back from callbacks.  Not too many people called back - mainly due to availability issues and not talent (or the lack thereof), so it was an easy session.  And it allowed for some good "So what have you been up to lately?" chat with the director/producer I was playing for.  And she even ordered room service, so I got a free dinner too!

MONK had an OK outing with TOny Shalhoub's real-life wife Brooke Adams guest starring as a country sheriff assisting in Monk's investigation of Disher's relative's death. Richardo Chivera from DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES was the other principal guest star.

Brooke Adams was a lucky charm for Shalhoub in that in her first guest starring role on the show, as a flight attendant during Season One, this episode was the one that won him his first Emmy for the series.

PSYCH had a fun episode with Sean and Gus working for a well meaning lawyer who lacked confidence, and the trial opened a new world of possibilities for Sean to take his "psychic powers" out for test spins with someone who trusts him rather than questioning his every move.

And the final scene with Sean's motorcycle held a few surprises, too. Really liked that last touch.

So, today I did manage to get caught up on all the TV shows from the week which I had reocrded. Now, I need to tackle some of the movies that have been recorded and that I still haven't gotten to: MATCH POINT, BREAKFAST ON PLUTO, and THE VIPs.

Patrick Wilson at Broadway Project Theater, talking about an incident during The Full Monty; the whole cast jumped a light cue and ended up exposing themselves AND they could see the audience! It's a riot!

For your eyes only, if I may say so!

...And on the way back to my room, I happened to take care of some damage control as it were.

One actor stopped me to ask what had happened during his audition.  He was wondering why I didn't keep playing after I gave him his cue note.  Well, I explained to him that he had told me to take a pause after I gave the note, which I did.  So then I waited... And waited.  It turned out he was waiting for me to go on - even though we were supposed to start together - so we just ended up waiting for each other.  "Next time, you start and I follow - since that's the only way I know that YOU are going on."  -It was one of his first auditions, and he had never really been instructed what to do.

Then I went up to a young actor to see if he was OK.  While looking at his music before his group started, I noticed that he had only brought in the vocal line for his song.  There was no piano part.  And (unfortunately) it was for a song that I was not that familiar with.  Normally, I would have had to tell him that he would not be able to audition since he did not bring the required materials, but since I did not want to make a bad situation worse, I simply told him that I would get him started, and that he should just keep singing.  I was going to fake an accompaniment - and that he should be prepared to hear some wrong/different notes and harmonies.  But, again, it was HIS audition, so as long as he kept singing strongly...  Well, he did not sing strongly, he ended up "singing like a 12-year old" (his words).  And, alas, he did not get that many callbacks - if any - since he was already at the bar.  But he did appreciate me checking in on him, and apologized for not being properly prepared.  Lesson learned.

I'm going to head off to bed. Didn't get to sleep very late this morning. Garbage trucks outside arrived much earlier than usual and made a lot of noise. SHould be better tomorrow and hopefully I'll be able to sleep longer/later.

Good night!

BK - I was trying to post to castrecl about Brain from Planet X and Joan Ryan, but whatever I'm doing doesn't seem to be working -  it seems that I'm doing something wrong in the posting process.  (I've always just gotten the messages, never tried to post there before.)

Brooke Adams was a lucky charm for Shalhoub in that in her first guest starring role on the show, as a flight attendant during Season One, this episode was the one that won him his first Emmy for the series.

And John Turturro won an Emmy playing Monk's brother. When I chose him to voice Vanzetti and Tony as Sacco, I didn't realize that they had played brothers. But I think having Turturro doing his vo first gave us the street cred to get Tony, because they apparently are friends.

Hi DR Jose -- First, i just want to say how sweet it is that you can be such a caring human being  in working with some very amateur and unprepared people.  It just shows what a warm soul you are.

And second....... a translation please of"APTAs " ??

hugs............MG

OMG, DR TCB! You be careful! How awful! I'm glad it was no more serious than it turned out to be, but it sounded bad. Watch your step in more ways than one!

TCB needs to keep his fluffer closer at hand.

In keeping with today's posting theme -- madness -- here's one from the Mad Hatter:
Why is a raven like a writing desk?  

The Hatter never told Alice, so der Brucer -- or any of you -- got some good ones for the riddle?

... I always thought is was a random, wacky, nonsensical ranting from the Hatter, but someone asked me the other day so why is a raven like a writing desk.  I've heard because they both have quills or because Poe wrote on both of them.  I wonder what the Hatter's answer would have been...

Since you're all asking for more...

another YouTube vid:

Richard Sherman talks of his creation of a new song NEVERLAND for the new special dvd release of Peter Pan; a clip is shown and the singer is Paige O'Hara, well-known in this corner of the woods!

Interesting, no?!

La plume de ma corbeau est sur le bureau de Mon Oncle does not really help much?

Bureau and corbeau at least have 5 letters in common.
I guess the other letters can be stored in the writing desk.

Help me out François.
