new trailer! in the theater! the movie: Il Divo
Tim Robbins was set to star in Brain Dead (originally titled Paranoia by Charles Beaumont) but left to make Jacob’s Ladder instead. And just as I noticed Catherine Hardwicke’s name in the credits and wondered if that was Catherine Hardwicke the director, Adam Simon brought up that she was a production designer and sings her praise. Whoa, things I’ve missed… …enjoying his commentary on the Australian dvd. He’s got a lot to say. I love this movie!
Harper’s Island premiered on ABC last night, without bp. Harry Hamlin is Uncle Marty in the pilot. Perhaps he’s a better 50ish lech than bp? I think so, but the externally more paternally bp could’ve and would’ve surprised us all, had he stuck around to do the mini-series. As I understand it, he was never officially signed up for the gig but lent his name to the project as a favor to director/producer Jon Turtletaub when production was announced.
Here’s Harry:
and here’s Bill: 
spoiler–I think he’s dead.
This will be the last week here. I thought I’d maybe do some drive-by shooting (i.e., taking pictures!) last weekend, but alas, Opera Plaza doesn’t update its outside marquee anymore. Didn’t have the time to park and go inside the mini-mall to snap pics of the theater door unfortunately.
…for another week! That’s a week longer than nationally released Nobel Son!
Last week:


The man can’t remember the safe word so the woman keeps beating him: He was the president! It’s the actor! Bill Paxton!
