Fart Olympics is childish, immature and completely sophomoric. Which is why I love it so much. They guys over at Ghost+Cow Films have won a Gold Medal with their Olympic Fart Figure Skating video. My body may be middle aged but my mind is still that of a 10-year old boy.
Celebrities Read Mean Tweets is a very funny feature on The Jimmy Kimmel Show. It's a wonderfully simple idea and the name says it all: Celebrities read mean tweets that people have tweeted about them. The latest installment (the sixth) features Jon Hamm, Jennifer Garner, Tim Robbins, Benedict Cumberbatch, Sarah Silverman, Rob Lowe, George Clooney, Bill Murray, John Goodman, Bob Balaban, Cate Blanchett and Matt Damon. Tim Robbins' reaction is priceless. I've yet to have anyone tweet something mean [...]
I was researching actors for my upcoming production of Tom Jones at the Florida Studio Theatre and quite by accident discovered that Adolph Hitler films are listed on his own IMDB page. This, of course, made me ponder out loud: "Hitler Has His Own IMDB Page?" He certainly does. He has four "Writer" credits, 29 "Self" credits, and my favorite: 1 "Miscellaneous Crew" credit. Miscellaneous Crew? Was he the caterer? He wasn't even in SAG. But there are 683 Hitler films [...]
I'm a Harry Potter geek, I'll admit it. So you can imagine how excited I was when Universal Orlando released their Webcast about the summer of 2014 opening of Diagon Alley. Universal opened The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade in 2010 and it was a huge success. I have to admit I was surprised Universal did such a good job because up until then they're track record wasn't the best. But The Wizarding World of Harry [...]
Who doesn't like free stuff? Einstein Bros Bagels is giving away a free Thinstastic Bagel with Shmear tomorrow (1.15.14).
The other day I posted about how years ago I recorded some of my songs in my living room. The songs were mostly meditations about loss and loneliness. I grouped them under an imaginary CD entitled The Ghosts That Haunt Me. I am probably the least knowledgable person about home recording but I recorded them for fun and to see what I could create. Here's The Isle of Memories. I hope you like it.
Years ago I wrote and recorded songs to while away the time between auditions and acting gigs. I was digging through the vault today and found this one. It's called "Muriel," about a guy finally able to say goodbye to his past and move on with his life. It was part of my imaginary album entitled The Ghosts That Haunt Me. Cheery, huh? Well, that's what a lifelong battle with depression will do to you. I've always wanted to bribe someone like [...]
Another year is upon us and that means another round of resolutions are made. I read somewhere that only 8% of New Year Resolutions are successful. That's not a great statistic but it might not be the worst thing in the world. Think of the stress relief when you no longer have to succeed at a resolution. Take my resolution to write a post every day in 2014. Already broken. Boom. I now have 362 stress-free days. There are, however, [...]
