In Total Of 2 Mins A Duck On A Pond Paddles 22 M

AND THE OSCAR GOES TO.../1








(February 3, the day the music died )

... me!

The 7 also exist in the morning.

"You fell out of bed?", And Rafael Bosse ask me when they see me appear in the kitchen at 7 am (still in the house of horrors, exactly three months ago today): both are preparing to go to work and hour awake, I have never seen.

The week before, the same day when I was hired as a waiter, I took the ferry to go across the bay on the North Shore (as I like to rinse your mouth!), Home to the Most production companies, unbelievably gasandomi ( that little 'x as Ciapa el vaporeto' Venessia ... ), for fare un colloquio conoscitivo con l'agenzia di comparse, dopo che un amico dei Pan mi ha 'paraculato'.
Credevo che andare via dall'Italia significasse anche allontanarsi da certi meccanismi tipo 'amico di amici', invece questa cosa rimane vera anche qui, ed è tanto più vera, mi dicono, nell'industria televisiva.

Fare la comparsa è un modo come un altro per avvicinarmi al mondo della tv, ragione principe che mi ha spinto a venire a Vancouver, dove vengono girate molte produzioni (sia telefilm che film, attualmente, per esempio, Mission Impossible 4 ), per via del dollaro canadese più debole e della vicinanza col confine americano.

Come spesso mi accade la notte non ho dormito, as I set your alarm for me very soon: I must be on the set (always a matter of oral rinse) at 8.30. After 4 hours of sleep interrupted only by my own anxiety, not to hear the alarm (a Classicon), I headed to the location (colluttoriooo !!!), but that is Tinseltown, a shopping center in Chinatown that I attend when I go the movies (there's a multiplex on the third floor) and was 'hired' in toto for the occasion.

The show in question is Human target that, despite my passion for American TV, I did not know. I know what you're thinking, you replicate the issue The Rocky Horror Picture Show ... Sono davvero così appassionato, che non conosco 'na mazza ? Sì, ma non posso mica fare miracoli e poi sto diventando vecchio e la materia grigia si restringe.

Il primo pensiero che mi viene da fare una volta arrivato è che c'è la crisi a livello mondiale ma questi si permettono di noleggiare un centro commerciale intero (pagando, immagino, anche un fee ai vari negozi, che di certo quel giorno non hanno avuto clienti, pur essendo aperti) allestendolo con scenografie degne di un film a grosso budget (l'episodio è ambientato in un mall di San Francisco sotto Natale).
Figuriamoci come si buttavano via i soldi quando la crisi non c'era. La cosa che mi stupisce more, in fact, I have been called in a hurry last night, later, to 'replace' another appearance at the last gave packages. It seems a matter of life or death, so I decide to cancel my first day working as a waiter and a preference for experience on the set, a choice that has eventually paid financially, but I find that the extras are 300 and that I was there or not (I, like most others) would not have made any difference (I hope to be going right with verbs). How
find out later in other occasions when I happen to do so, in fact, we must type goose pate in a large hall and occasionally come to pick you for you to walk, or random position, behind the scenes. Luckily I have with me a copy of Entertainment Weekly , Mr! - Take new number tomorrow there is the challenge - now joke - here at home if they find one or two and if one, which of the two ... I know: fregometro ? - Or I fall into a deep sleep due to the few hours the night before.
This is, roughly, the "job" of pop.

that day between the actors of old series that I recognize people I only see myself, as a typical face of gum with eyes close, Mark Valley (obvious bassooo !!!), that was some old soap (it's useless to do pretend to be vague: The time of our lives , Italy 7).
I was all excited that not even Brad Pitt, but there is one of the extras that says, verbatim: "I do not recognize anyone, do not have the TV ," and I want to ask how long it is in analysis. For a second thought I realize that it is much better than me and maybe instead of being stuck inside too much sport on TV is because he has a super flat tummy. Then there is the
sapientino that tells you that he does not do it for money but for love but a second after you lists exactly how much you've earned up to that time, including overtime, as any Italian state.
After 8 hours, in fact, you are paid one and a half. After 12, the double, etc. Finisco per farne 17, stremato fino alle 2 di notte, e a guadagnare in pratica come metà affitto da Bill in un giorno solo (escluso il 15% che devo all'agenzia). Non male come prima esperienza! Ci sono lì persone che in quel momento della loro vita, tre giorni a settimana, fanno solo questo. Alla facciazza della crisi!
Sapientino dice che è il giorno più lungo che ha fatto finora e che se fosse così una volta alla settimana ci metterebbe la firma. È quello che penso anch'io e spero che durante il tempo a Vancouver abbia questa possibilità, ma succederà solo, ahimè, poche altre volte.

Quando l'episodio è andato in onda, poco prima di Natale, Francesco ed io mi abbiamo riconosciuto suffered by the bald head. For a closer look, you can also see that more and more stooped and even more in the square.
In the image, note that I am lowered into the part, but Stanislavsky, for pretending to speak with my table companion was counting fingers with American ... I also tried to send a message to Vanna lip until I framed But It Did not make the final cut .. Moreover, even Kevin Costner began his career as well: it was the suicide of friend The Big Chill in the film but if they see only his wrists because his part was cut during assembly.
Kodak Theatre wait! Here's the final scene

How To Build A Slide Projector

A ROCKY HORROR PICTURE EXPERIENCE








February 2, Groundhog Day (Groundhog Day)

The Rio Theatre is a cinema not far from our house specializing in art house films , or cult scheduled at midnight : so-called midnight movies .

Before Friday I thought the last midnight movies were only projected to midnight on the day when big budget films and distribution belt, and long-awaited endless queue at the box office, are allowed to leave: like, say, the various Harry Potter .
Wikipedia (God reward always so on) but he explains that those are only distant relatives of the true meaning of the phenomenon, of course, all-American (or in my case, Canadian): born in the 70s in some centers Urban, New York (where else?) among those are the midnight movies films were initially not mainstream and low budget that aimed to create a ' loyal audience and niche (a cult Following ) with repeated viewing, discussions and social interactions, at the height of the counterculture.
The success of The Rocky Horror Picture Show (first film in a Hollywood major part of the circuit midnight movies) and economic changes of the film industry have come to associate the term, over time, films with specific issues, or B movie.
TRHPC is the chief exponent of this kind, and can claim the distinction of being the longest film on the bill of all time, never left the halls since 1975, his debut year: in the last 35 years there has been a film, somewhere in America, which has been scheduled. The fame came in '77, when the public began, anywhere, to participate actively in the movie.

In what is the sum of the meta-narrative, since the film you learn that even the movies you can see old movies that we would see instead only on TV or DVD ... There is that in Italy the tradition to see old movies at the cinema, because they do not own, if not, perhaps, on rare occasions, however, believe only in Rome, Milan, Turin and perhaps (but I'm to invent ' ).
the film, frankly, but as a good movie fan, I knew almost nothing, so do not even dream of you to mention it in case some conversation just to be cool, really risked being exposed in two seconds, maybe because it has never been dubbed in Italian, even for non-sung dialogue.
My ignorance in this area has dissolved last Friday (or, as we shall see, say, Saturday) when I went with Julia to Rio (it was our day) to see it.

We had already, at midnight, two weeks before, to see Pulp Fiction, but I had done my homework.
If you show up in the form of projection midinght movies you a dollar off: I say, who ever would?
All except us (a dollar is always a dollar). Bonus points if you dress like the characters in the film in question. As photos, Uma Thurman as Mia-evening abounded.

TRHPS has been sold out, and just like in the movies, there was a line that ran the block. Also like in the movies, the last two tickets we caught them there Julia and me.
Once inside, therefore, the real surprise was the vision of the vision of vision after the show a lot of fun and entertainment starting with a prize and a free subscription to the cinema's original vinyl soundtrack went to the best orgasms simulated by the "virgin "the movie For a moment I thought we were about to witness a representation of the show that inspired the movie (The Rocky Horror Show ) and not the film.

In practice, a theater company he mimed on stage, dressed paro paro, word for word to every scene in the film. The audience, made up to 90% of fans who saw him for the millionth time, repeating aloud all the jokes, he commented, in turn, mimed scenes (as shown in the pictures - among other things, as did the Man Spider see? - all have the newspaper head-Susan Sarandon as Janet you shelter from the rain and we spent some newspaper and put them to us we are a leader of us, I felt a bit 'stupid but if everyone else is ... - Milhouse jumped into the ravine? ) or got up to dance (lucky that, given the last tickets, we were in the front row!). All

so it was pretty distracting and I did not understand almost nothing of the plot, because:
1) I just could not hear the words, let alone understand the lyrics (it's still a muscial)
2) just like Pulp Fiction , I slept half the film despite the casino, the delay between the row and the show pre-screening, it started well after midnight and takes his time: the human endurance has its limits, and the night is for sleeping! (I know what you're thinking - She 'house! - but Julia has made me so stressed and peca' ).
understand more precisely the day after I did my due research on wikipedia and learned a new lesson on cinema.

Rio Sunday 27 to transmit live on the big screen the Oscar ceremony ( in related news: no, on Wednesday evening and still no trace of the new - no longer - the number of Entertainment Weekly. I discovered a new stadium as well as depression). Among the midnight movies
of February there are Lolita (never seen), If Spotless Mind (visto! Beautiful!) And Harold and Maude (never seen).
To save a dollar I could get dressed by The charming Creamy .
