That’s great stuff. Makes me want to see every one of those movies again just to watch those scenes.
On somewhat of a tangent but not really, have you been watching The Sopranos?
All I have to say is Edie Falco…OMG!
AbsoLUTEly. Falco’s so damn good.
And I’m also totally impressed with Gandolfini’s acting in his alternate-universe sections. Different accent, different demeanor – all very convincing. Shows what a fine actor he is. He is NOT Tony Soprano in those sections – and the differences are really subtle, but they’re there.
Creepy!!
Hey how was your stint on CSI? It was last night, am I right?
I completely feckin’ forgot – I am so sorry. I needed an email reminder, apparently. I hope you taped it.
You didn’t miss much. It was OK. Simple. I did look HUGE. I honestly did not recognize myself on TV. I was like, “Who’s that big, fat, balding, blue collar, suburban Dad?” I never realized what a huge head I have. Anyway. I guess it’s time to let go of the illusion that I’m the Brad Pitt type.
hahahaha Ack!!
How did the scene come across? Like your acting and stuff like that. Shit – did you tape it? I’m bummed I didn’t see it.
Hey, how come nobody tells me about these things like David’s shot on CSI (uh, besides the fact that none of you know me from Adam… and I use my initials as a poor excuse for a pseudonym like an unclever stalker… and you may actually have PRIVATE lives).
But, come on, how do you expect me to live vicariously though your exciting lives, if you don’t give me a head’s up?!
JFH – argh I know!! I was gonna put out a little announcement post about his part on CSI but then completely forgot – I forgot to tune in myself!
I feel terrible about this!!!
Seriously Sheila, there’s no reason to feel terrible. If it were a better role you would have not had the option to miss it. I would be stalking my friends, family and innocent bystanders (JFH) to watch it.
I ain’t above it.
What was the episode, and what part did your head play, so we can look for it in re-runs??
