I watched the movie earlier tonight and I’m feeling a tad disturbed. And it’s not because I watched the 1999 version. I’m somewhat ashamed to say that I purchased that on DVD and it seems like the movie was created solely for Christopher Lambert to kill monsters and do his little chuckle at the end. It didn’t follow the original storyline very well, though honestly, I don’t think the 2007 version did such a great job, either. Continue reading “I… am… BEOWULF!!!”
Press release
I briefly mentioned my trip up to Toronto in an earlier blog entry: I was contacted via Myspace about auditioning for a role in a movie and was for some unknown reason cast, so I’m going back for shooting it in September. (Now all I need is to be featured in a comic book and all of my life’s goals will have been achieved!) Continue reading “Press release”

Makeup artists having a field day
On Tuesday, I was helping out as an extra for another movie because, well, why the heck not? But this time was a little different: we were filming at The Gay 90’s, I was in costume for the first half of the day and I heard two phrases I never expected to hear in my entire life:
“You’re the tallest drag queen in captivity.”
“You look much better as a man.”

Waddle of the Penguins
“March of the Penguins” is in theaters now and I imagine the documentary is based on scientific theories to explain why it’ll walk 70 miles to knock up another penguin or waddle around with its young ‘uns huddled between its nonexistent legs (which essentially means they’re buried in its crotch). But why bother with scientific theories? Why not just ask the birds themselves?
“Excuse me, Mr. Penguin, why are you waddling around with your young ‘uns buried in your crotch? Is it to protect them from the elements?”
“No, I do it because it’s really frickin’ cold out and I’m trying to keep my nuts warm!”

I swear to God, I’m not making this into a career
There has been a large consensus that Richard’s behavior on Beauty and the Geek is merely an attempt to break into Hollywood (his ultimate plan is to be to become an actor, though given the choice and execution of his antics, becoming a “comedic” actor is questionable). I, on the other hand, plan to stick around here in Minnesota, though it seems I haven’t fully escaped the realm of movie cameras and spotlights. My “credits” have moved beyond my three-minute appearance on The WaZoo! Show—now they include working as an extra for an independent film.
It was basically a favor for a friend. Matthew Feeney sent out a mass e-mail because a film he’s involved with (Fall Into Me) was having a shoot on Thursday night from 7:00pm till Friday morning at approximately 7:00am. (It turned out to be closer to 4:30, but you get the idea…) They needed people who’d be willing to work the night shift to fill up the background. I figured, “Hey, I haven’t got a set schedule, why not help them out?” Continue reading “I swear to God, I’m not making this into a career”

The Butterfly Effect
I went to see Lord of the Rings tonight and saw a preview for The Butterfly Effect. It starred Ashton Kutcher, who could make himself go back in time to prevent the death of his girlfriend. Kinda like The Time Machine, really, except the scientist never hit someone over the head with a baseball bat and went to jail for it. Or banged Demi Moore, for that matter. Continue reading “The Butterfly Effect”
