So Far i've seen three of the five academy award nomminated films (Juno, There Will Be Blood and No Country for old men) and the the best in my opinion has been "There Will Be Blood". It might have been one of the best film i've seen in the theater's period and is my new favorite P.T. Anderson film.

"No Country" is an excellent film with question. It had action, suspense, gritty dialogue and the type of story that when something changes it actually throws you off (one moment in particular) which is really great. It's something that a suspense film should do. I will say that, even after all the talk from Tom about it, Javiar Bardam was excellent in every moment he spent on screen. I really wouldn't want to see him in a dark alley (even though by that time it would be too late) and yes, he is some sort of ultimate bad ass.

"There Will be Blood" is a totally different breed of film. Stark, Bold, Vivid and Unique. The movie felt truly iconic, like the way "A Touch of Evil" or "Vertigo" comes off. it doesn't define a generation or a moment, but it takes you to a different time and place, gives you an intense alienation effect and still gives you a character you can find certain likewise qualities in. Daniel Day Lewis' performance od "Dianel Plainview" is P.T. Anderson's "Macbeth", as in a character who has pure evil dwell in him even through the positive, reafirming parts.

The real debate isn't which film is better, it's if the sums of the elements make either the winner. There Cinematography is better in "Blood", as is the art direction. with ensemble there isn't a toss up, as "No Country" domminates that without question, as with Best supporting actor.

Direction is a real toss up, since both were directed really well and are completely different. As with the Best adapted Screenplay award, since one is more straight forward and the other is based on elememts but goes off in a completely different direction.

I will say that both "No Country" and "Juno" felt like movies and "There will be Blood" took me in, and really made me feel like I was involved and drew me into the moment, which I know doesn't happen to me that often.

At this rate I know i'll be seeing both "Atonement" and "Michael Clayton" (I think that will be Friday evening now...) next, but i'm pretty certain which direction my mind is heading after watch the previous three.

It's sunday night and the Patriots are on the verge of immortality (at least that's what FOX Sports wants me to believe) EDIT: HOW WRONG WE ALL WERE! The Giants? Really... I really wouldn't have seen that coming at all! wow... that's all I can say, wow. I mean, to win every game all season and lose the only game that matters. oh well. Here's to another terrific Tampa Bay season in 08'/09'

I'm going to see "There will be Blood" tomorrow right after work and "No Country for Old Men" on Tuesday evening for Aimee's Karaoke hosting party at MVP's on Elkton Road (EDIT: sadly, not so much, feel better Aimee). Then a full week of events at good ol' Clayton Hall.

I saw "Sweeney Todd" at the Drama League on Friday. There were a number of things that I really enjoyed about the production and a good amount i'd personally change, but it might have been the best production i've seen at the Drama League (which doesn't speak for much, for truth me told i've only see less then a handful of shows there and i've been in more then i've seen... ) But it was enjoyable and there were some stand out performances (and a couple less then stellar). I was happy to hear Mr. Corey Leigh lend his voice to Anthony (even if it was only in a backstage capacity) While the other actor was physically unable to. I think it was the best vocal performance of his I have physically ever heard from Mr. Leigh. Not to slight the Actor was was cast as Anthony, for to be honest I have no idea what he sounds like (minus a versus in "Johanna" that was pre-recorded for the performance), but it would have nice to actually see Corey on stage as Anthony. for me, it was a tie over the true strongest performance in the show belonged to. Megan Pisors performance of Johanna was excellent, Sadly he Microphone never seemed to turn on so it was incredibly hard to hear her most of the time (a situation that sadly seems common sometimes at the WDL, I know i've been there in that situation before) or Karen Murdock's scene stealing Ms. Lovett, even when confined to such a small area to work with like in "by the sea". Murdock only could of benefited from a live orchestra instead of a recording so she could have expanded herself, but was a delightful charm in almost every moment she appeared on stage. On the other side, I was less impressed with Sean Kelly as Turpin and James Smith's performance as Sweeney. Turpin seemed to lack much of the dynamics the role required and Smith started the show strong and plummeted in much of act one, only to really get his intensity and bloodlust back on "a little priest" after "Epiphany" seemed lackluster, but both of them really shined in "Pretty Women" and it's reprise when Turpin returns and made me wish they delivered that the entire show. Smith has all the tools needed to be a great Sweeney, from a great vocal range to a menacing physical presence, which make me feel like rather then seeing a weak actor portraying Sweeney I was seeing a weak performance, which seems like a shame due to the high expectation that role bring to the audience. The Staging and positioning in the opening "Ballad" was excellent, including the rise of Todd and Lovett from the Orchestra Pit (which I haven't seem a single production at the Drama League do). I was little disappointed with some of the musical staging in parts of the show ("Pirelli's Miracle Elixir" seemed to clumped to note an example) but "City on Fire" was everything it should have been. The company on a whole was excellent, and incredibly dynamic and deserves tremendous praise for they were the true backbone of the show, and I can't say that every production at the drama league does that kinda of job with the company. When the Chorus joins together in "Todd" everything stops allowing the audience to really drawn into the intensity and action of what were witnessing, and in every moment this occurred it went off without a hitch. All that being said, it did rub me in the wrong way by the end of the performance for the reprise of "Ballad", all the way down to the repeat of the automated lift. I'm not certain if it was the exact ambition to bookend the performance by ending it the way it began or not, but it didn't feel as important the second time around, which is a same because of how strong it felt the first time it happened. One last note... the blood was really unfortunate. I don't know what the mixture was, but it was hard to see and kinda not really there. It needed to be bigger or not there at all (like the original Broadway production did with scarves). Still, the show was really fun to watch and made for an exciting evening of theater.

Also at the show I got to see Mr. Steve Weatherman, Mr. Michael Boudwyns and Mrs. Sarah Valentine and my Grandfather (who told me about my Cousin Nedda who just had a Baby Girl on Thursday evening!)

There will be more to write about later...

Michael Moore's "SiCKO" ******* (seven out of ten)

SiCKO!

after visiting the overplayed hype and actual reality of the magical "Jesus Phone" line at the Christiana Mall (seriously, the waiting line looked kinda small compared to what I expected, the line dividers look liked TP and Cardboard to hold "the masses" back) I went off to pick up "Trickly, Prickly" himself, Mr. Tom Latchford... my hot date for the night. I arrived at his place around 7:20pm and after a gas stop and an energy drink pick up (Full Throttle "Blue" for my HFCS for the day) it was off to Philly... and by off to Philly I mean OFF TO WAIT IN A PARKING LOT CALLED I-95!!!! and, it wasn't that bad, I just wanted anyone who wasn't really reading this until now to get intrigued by "caps locks" (and I think it might of worked). we arrived too late to go to AKA Music before the movie, so it was off to the Ritz East. we passed all the normal landmarks... the large, clear fountain with the large apartment complex and dumbass looking statue of the eagle with really long legs.

Then we arrived at the movie mecca known as, "Ritz East", outside the theater people were trying to give away phamplets filled with who knows what, but luckily, Latchford went into stealth mode and we entered without harm and opened the large glass doors. It was my first time inside the Ritz East, which looked like any other hole in the wall movie theater. The ticket seller's name was "Matt" and he had a large blonde beard and black rimmed glasses, things did not bode well, but without any hassle we got inside with a ticket each in our hand. The lobby had a rather plain looking concession stand with a black and grey color scheme (that still looked a million times better then the Cinema Center 3 lobby / concession) and the counter staff was dressed with cheap, pressed white dress shirts and rather polyester looking black bowties (but, to the Ritz's credit, they do sell Pirate's Booty, which is really nothing more then "Tom Fuel"). The young gentleman who sold me my concessional needs (to be noted, I bought a pretzel stick, a chocolate creme wafer stick pack and a raspberry lemon "fizzy dizzy" soda, all for six bucks!) was reffered to as "Brent" via a name tag and all I could think about was "Who names a child "Brent", it's so close to "Bent" and calling a child "Bent" would be a really dumb choice, so does "Brent" related to "almost a dumb choice?"... what is Brent short for? "Brentley"? "Brentthew?" "Brentthazar"? My mind was boggled with such deep thoughts entering my mind, sadly I had no time for this now, it was time to enter the theater and attend "SiCKO".

rather then a review of sorts, here is a running tally of the event inside the "Ritz East " Theater...
- Hey, a kinda cute girl sat next to me... oh wait, she looks about seventeen... nevermind... well, atleast I have Tom next to me.
- most trailers don't seem to try anymor... hey! look! a movie about Gypsy music... back to my point, they juat see... and it even has two minutes of Johnny Depp footage! O. M. Gosh! hear that sound? it's the sound of thousands flocking... (in the background, a weak sounding "yeah" can be heard)
- oh look, G.W. Bush... lets not forget who's *really* to blame for everything (I mean, I hate G.W., but in a documentary about Health Care, can we not jump straight to Georgie right from the get-go?)
- sewing up a wound? ewww... but wow, that guy is pretty bad ass...
- Damn! Hilary just got blasted with tough facts (i.e. the truth) and the guy right behind me just muttered under his breath, "Oh No...", here is why this is important... you know that guy already had his mind set figured out, "i'm voting for the first female president in '08, i'm going to make a difference" and he now has to re-examine everything because he doesn't want to be that guy every one of his friends he knows will blame for four years of whoever and make the wrong decision... well, too bad... you are that guy, in fact were all that guy! but, it doesn't matter, i'm that guy too... (I went Nader in '00), still, no matter who you vote for, someone has already done something "wrong", so just pick which brand you'd rather agree with and wear the colors that match. alright lets move on...
- ha ha ha! Canadians do fear Americans! American doctors that is...
- people comment how Mr. Moore's editing is biased and how he hides facts this way... this may / is more than likely is true... but damn if it's not Entertaining!
- The only question I have right now is... who is Michael Moore insured by? I mean, clearly anything that happens to him now, even a routine check up will kill him. His personal physician must be considered a bounty hunter now.
- So, we've been to Canada, England and France... how do you follow this up? by going to Cuba!
- you know, it might have good health insurance... but, Havana still looks like shit.
- well, looks like we'll all be going to Moorewatch.com now...
- the moral... well apparently life is dangerous, but try not to get hurt or you'll die. the end.

the walk back to the car was short, and kinda low key... I mean, the movie doesn't exactly give you a real feel good ending since it can't, it can propose hope, but it won't get you dancing. The Soundtrack was pretty good though. I liked it much more then the "Farenheit 9/11" soundtrack so far...
minus the guy smoking weed on south street... yeah, no, it couldn't be weed, huh? I mean the cops don't know what weed smells like... why would they?
the drive home was "Pumpkins" for me and the Latchford, "Machina" mostly and how it might be the Smashing Pumpkins and Zwan and a solo album, but it's all Billy Corgan. it was after midnight by this time and we had no real place to go, so it's time to go drop Tom off and head back home. All in all, not a bad way to spend a friday night.

Posted on Wed, Apr. 11, 2007 - COMMENTARY

Imus isn’t the real bad guy
Instead of wasting time on irrelevant shock jock, black leaders need to be fighting a growing gangster culture. By JASON WHITLOCK - Columnist


Thank you, Don Imus. You’ve given us (black people) an excuse to avoid our real problem.

You’ve given Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson another opportunity to pretend that the old fight, which is now the safe and lucrative fight, is still the most important fight in our push for true economic and social equality.

You’ve given Vivian Stringer and Rutgers the chance to hold a nationally televised recruiting celebration expertly disguised as a news conference to respond to your poor attempt at humor.

Thank you, Don Imus. You extended Black History Month to April, and we can once again wallow in victimhood, protest like it’s 1965 and delude ourselves into believing that fixing your hatred is more necessary than eradicating our self-hatred.

The bigots win again.

While we’re fixated on a bad joke cracked by an irrelevant, bad shock jock, I’m sure at least one of the marvelous young women on the Rutgers basketball team is somewhere snapping her fingers to the beat of 50 Cent’s or Snoop Dogg’s or Young Jeezy’s latest ode glorifying nappy-headed pimps and hos.

I ain’t saying Jesse, Al and Vivian are gold-diggas, but they don’t have the heart to mount a legitimate campaign against the real black-folk killas.

It is us. At this time, we are our own worst enemies. We have allowed our youths to buy into a culture (hip hop) that has been perverted, corrupted and overtaken by prison culture. The music, attitude and behavior expressed in this culture is anti-black, anti-education, demeaning, self-destructive, pro-drug dealing and violent.

Rather than confront this heinous enemy from within, we sit back and wait for someone like Imus to have a slip of the tongue and make the mistake of repeating the things we say about ourselves.

It’s embarrassing. Dave Chappelle was offered $50 million to make racially insensitive jokes about black and white people on TV. He was hailed as a genius. Black comedians routinely crack jokes about white and black people, and we all laugh out loud.

I’m no Don Imus apologist. He and his tiny companion Mike Lupica blasted me after I fell out with ESPN. Imus is a hack.

But, in my view, he didn’t do anything outside the norm for shock jocks and comedians. He also offered an apology. That should’ve been the end of this whole affair. Instead, it’s only the beginning. It’s an opportunity for Stringer, Jackson and Sharpton to step on victim platforms and elevate themselves and their agenda$.

I watched the Rutgers news conference and was ashamed.

Martin Luther King Jr. spoke for eight minutes in 1963 at the March on Washington. At the time, black people could be lynched and denied fundamental rights with little thought. With the comments of a talk-show host most of her players had never heard of before last week serving as her excuse, Vivian Stringer rambled on for 30 minutes about the amazing season her team had.

Somehow, we’re supposed to believe that the comments of a man with virtually no connection to the sports world ruined Rutgers’ wonderful season. Had a broadcaster with credibility and a platform in the sports world uttered the words Imus did, I could understand a level of outrage.

But an hourlong press conference over a man who has already apologized, already been suspended and is already insignificant is just plain intellectually dishonest. This is opportunism. This is a distraction.

In the grand scheme, Don Imus is no threat to us in general and no threat to black women in particular. If his words are so powerful and so destructive and must be rebuked so forcefully, then what should we do about the idiot rappers on BET, MTV and every black-owned radio station in the country who use words much more powerful and much more destructive?

I don’t listen or watch Imus’ show regularly. Has he at any point glorified selling crack cocaine to black women? Has he celebrated black men shooting each other randomly? Has he suggested in any way that it’s cool to be a baby-daddy rather than a husband and a parent? Does he tell his listeners that they’re suckers for pursuing education and that they’re selling out their race if they do?

When Imus does any of that, call me and I’ll get upset. Until then, he is what he is — a washed-up shock jock who is very easy to ignore when you’re not looking to be made a victim.

No. We all know where the real battleground is. We know that the gangsta rappers and their followers in the athletic world have far bigger platforms to negatively define us than some old white man with a bad radio show. There’s no money and lots of danger in that battle, so Jesse and Al are going to sit it out.

there are a lot of things I could say that, and i'm not sure if any of these words are the right words, but here goes...

I always heard that there are things in life that you do once an regret for an eternity. I use to never believe it. What could (other then murder, that I could always understand) be so terrible? and, at first, when it first happened, I know that I didn't understand what I had gotten myself into.

now that I can see it all, I really feel like a complete monster about the entire situation, because only a monster can so freely destroy and hurt someone that means so much to them.

so many times since then I wanted to come clean and be honest and fix things, but... i'm a coward to boot. stupidity and cowardice do not make excellent bed fellows yet they lie just the same.

I don't expect to be forgiven, I don't feel worthy of it. I hope to one day be trusted again, but I know i'm a long way from it. severity is not something easily judged with clouded eyes. I feel clearer now and none the less foolish and ignorant for it.

I never imagined a wedding day, but I always wanted to grow old with someone. With Aimee I could finally see myself at the alter. There's too much about saying / typing that out that makes me want to rip my self to shreds

this was all one huge, giant mistake that I really wish never existed. Life was so much easier, better, safer and happier before any of this.

the only thought that scares me today is that Aimee will feel that the wait won't be worth it or anything else that would result in my stupidity.

there's much more to say, and I will say it in time, but honestly... they are only words. words can soothe but only time will heal. I plan to be in this for the long haul, no matter what.

not that is is important in the least bit... but for any Stark Trek geeks out there...

Here is the latest on the upcoming new Star Trek film from JJ Abrams.

- Filming is slated to begin in October.

- The film may go with the simple title of Star Trek to reflect that this is a reboot of the franchise.

- The film could open on Christmas of 2008.

- Paramount is trying to get Matt Damon, Adrien Brody, and Gary Sinise for the roles of Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, and Dr. McCoy.

- The story will apparently focus on Kirk and Spock's first adventure together.

it's kinda cool. but not the most important note of the day. the new Lj side menu makes things better. atleast I think they do. I don't want to be here.

ok, so the Read-thru for "Urine-town" was cancelled tonight... because people dropped out... mainly R. Donavon, who will no longer doing "Lock-stock"... this means Matt Casarino needs to do the role... I want to do the role as well... but Matt has loved this show since he saw it on Broadway a few years back... he's wanted to do this role since then. he deserves it and i'll love to see him do it. Casarino in lead = asses in seats! I really want to see him do this and I hope everyone will support him in this.

and, I hope I get moved up to Lock-stock's little buddy, Barrel, because it would be lots of fun to work with Matt in that capacity... that or Matt's former roles, 'cause they were good roles too... but, Matt as Lock-stock for sure.

anyway, knowing the situations, I'm sure there will be disappointment in some regards to this, but we will see.

Day one of the "T.I." was lots of fun. we tried on shoes, we talked in bad accents, we went over the script. it's really refreshing to work with Michael, he's really one of the most complete / complex theater personalities i've met, in his willingness to have a complete vision in something but have all the variables change and still be happy with a complete show. I know this show will be fun and an experience.

the tickets will be dirt cheap too! like... eight for adults, six fifty for children! well worth the price too. that, and, working at the DTC and intermixed with the professionals makes you feel... important.

"Something Went Wrong"... the Matt Casarino short play (not a one act mind you) I'm doing is fun as well. all in all, "Urinetown" is the short end of the stick in this right now.

I have a chance to do "The Rat King" in a local production of "the Nutcracker", it's a good offer to do something very different for me, yet I just don't know if I can do it... it all depends.

I really hope Aimee get's to do "Lysistrata" on Campus, more people should encourage her! it will be a totally awesome experience for her and she'll get to do another E-52 show, a show mind you that she's wanted to be apart of for a long time. I just want her to have some more positive theater experiences, she's a good person, she deserves them.

oh well, speaking / typing on that note, it's time to wake the Aimee's...

So, it's five twenty-ish in the am and I woke up and couldn't fall right back to sleep so I did what anyone would do, look over the script to Treasure Island. I only read the parts I was in (because four forty in the morning is hardly literature-time) but I like what i've read so far... I've got some decent moments, so really cool lines (my favorite so far is how a call Long John Silver a "prodigious villain and imposter - a monstrous imposter sir." and then he thanks me (leading to all sorts of sea-fairing hilarity!) so all in all, high hopes there!

Bilbo's B-day was fun, I got to hang out with Aimee and her LARP friends, especially Jim, Jim's son AJ and Karl. Karl's foot hurt, I accused him of gout and... well, the joke never really caught on, even as many times I tried to use it in conversation, but I was happy with the overall direction of the situation.(of the joke that is).

tomorrow (today? well... it will be tomorrow for me since i'm going back to bed... soon) Aimee has a shower for my cousin Matthew's bride to be, Nadia, to go to with my mother and I plan to clean more. it might be a race to the photo finish on who will have more fun... but atleast the shower should have fun food... maybe not, who knows. Nadia is funny, she still has a pretty thick Brazilian accent, which lead me to believe she hasn't been in the states very long, but she's been here since she was in 6th grade... so it just goes to show you, sometimes it never leaves you.

"Urinetown" auditions on Monday should be fun, and before that Aimee has the big job interview (fingers crossed she gets the job), I'm still torn between "love is my legs" or "nothing is too wonderful to be true", so more on that soon.

friday, due to various reasons I only ate three eggs and cheese Aimee made me and a energy bar and I felt horrible (physically) I imagine due to a lack of food... today I ate three times, drank plenty of water (and two energy drinks to stay awake... and I don't feel it caused and impact) and still feel horrible... oh well.

today I plan on having soup, making and drinking lots of throat coat with honey and lemon (warm, not hot) for me and Aimee, going to the gym, going over audition songs, listening to Aimee's choices and relaxing. auditions like anything else is an art form, and I plan on doing my best and trying to help Aimee out the best I can as well.

ok, that's enough for now...

so, I haven't written in this journal for weeks... mostly because I was too busy, but also, just because I wanted something different... so expect something different soon-ish...

what's new with Andrew? well...

- I was invited to join the First State Children's Theater's production of "Treasure Island", I should be getting the script sometime today and we open in November at the Delaware Theater Company's Main Stage... so, that should be exciting and new.

- me and the Aim-ster are auditioning for "Urinetown" on moday, I will be doing something from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and i'm encoraging the Aim-miester to do her song from "The Last Unicorn"

- Georgie, from City Theater, is doing a one act of a Matt Casarino show at Padua (I believe it's Padua) and asked me to be apart of it, I love Matt Casarino so, i'm more then willing to do another one of his shows, more people should do his shows, hell, everyone knows if any saxaphonist / playright from delaware (note the duel situation, as to not offend anyone) is going to make it, it's him.

- Aimee has a job interview on monday at the early learning center on campus, if she gets the job she will be set for the next few months

- the time is 5:45am on September 23rd and i'm offically unemployed for the first time in seven years... I left ACME in early september and now GM layed me off, so now I can do whatever I want... it's an equal amount of excitement and nervous fear... but i'll be making more on unemployment then I ever did a week at ACME... so that's a plus

- Aimee's parents go me a new, black, 80 gig Ipod Video... so, my Ipod is offically cooler then Shannons.... :)~ <- note the tounge...

- I still kinda miss "Hedwig", the show, not the hamster, hearing the "Deer Park" Performance / CD made me want to don the boots yet again... oh well, maybe one day.


There's more, much more actually... but that's all i'm posting for now, everyone has offically been updated.

Saturday morning Aimee and I went to the funeral for her aunt Becky. the reverend (I say it only because I'm not positive he's a priest) when on for a great deal about her death, her suffering and her journey to heaven etc.

Becky has suffered for a long time from Diabetes... but that suffering wasn't her life it was her demise. I really wish he could of talked about Becky the person not Becky the Ailment. we should not be in death what / how we died. Becky's friends and family talked about how she gave so much, worked a life dedicated to charity and helping other but always loved life... and to me is seems a great disservice to spend a funeral talking about a death if you come to celebrate a life.

The Reverend did go on for a great deal about how "This Sunday is Easter" in an over joy-d way, almost as if he was pre-gaming for Easter... and how Jesus will be resurrected on Sunday, and I can't tell if I think it's bad timing or... anything but it seemed to take away importance of the moment but just moving on...

I don't know really what else to say but it all felt really off... it felt like it was just out of place and in bad taste to me.

see that? adult oriented with twins! or Triplets! isn't this like saying "Hey, do you wanna fuck you're brother on a webcam? yeah? wait, you look nothing alike... go fuck you're brother somewhere else..." but... that money would get most people in the brother-fucking mood... not me though, just so where clear.

to change the subject... why don't we all look at the lord and savior dressed up as Dorthy from the Wizard of OZ.

personally, I can't wait for this movie... anyone want a sunday matinee for this one?

I was going to try and make a poster up for this, but i'll wait...

instead... how about a screen cap from the upcoming "Snakes on a Plane!"


that's right... from "All That" to "Good Burger" to "SNL" and now the pinnacle of of the career of Kenan Thompson aka "the fat one" in "S.O.A.P."
