The kids these days..

Oh dear friends.

I'm going to lay off the politics for a moment, to bring you a little of what's what in the world of entertainment.

Please enjoy this lovely bit from our new intern Kelly. Kelly is 19 and thought this was the funniest shit she's ever seen.


Admittedly, i was skeptical at first, but the thing is pretty damn funny if you give it a moment.

Away from the girlishness, and back to some politickin' (Did you really think I would TOTALLY lay off?)

Jackie and Dunlap are two good ol' boys from Tennesee who have a hilarious show on YOU TUBE called RED STATE UPDATE. Obviously there is a Liberal slant to it, but its done in such an honest and sincere way, that even Republicans like Ol' Fred Thompson, have been known to call in. Dig this classic, right after the New Hampshire Primaries.



How bout some tunes, eh?
Serge Gainsbourg is the tail end of my French kick, but dig this groovy Reggae(?) tune.


Finally, something a little more mainstream.
You may recognize Yael Naim's music from the new Mac Air commercials, but don't let that turn you off. the Song NEW SOULis wonderful and the video ties it all up.


Tomorrow, I will be heading to THE SHAVE in Beverly Hills, and pending the Vote from the WGA, i will have my strike beard professionally shaven, with my brother there to document the whole ordeal.

The craft

I work with actors daily. Some are a bit pompous and full of themselves, others are as sweet and genuine as you'd hope they'd be. However, i've been trying to really put my finger on what seperates a legend from your workaday actor.

I believe I found it in an old timey film called WAY OUT WEST. If an actor can pull something like this off, he or she is has a skill AND talent. That my friends, is worth its weight in gold around these parts.

Best breakdown EVER

I found this role description for a Character on ER while i was working. The final line took the air out of all my possible submissions.

Score one for Casting.


This 17 year old Caucasian rural Illinois boy is also at the party. He takes an interest in Sarah and invites her outside for some air. The air is tinged with marijuana smoke, and he then invites her to go for a ride in his truck. Their encounter goes from bad, to predictable worse. 8 lines 2 scenes. Please submit actors who don't look like hip LA waiters
