So interesting
I was so happy to see Denzel and Jamie Foxx here.
So good to hear their experiences in the business...

Love this
I fell in love with a film. Its a 2007 film that I saw only recently
I love it.
I love the actors, I love the pace, I love the music, I love the quietness of certain scenes
I watched it twice. Once on the first day, then the next I watched it again
"Starting Out In The Evening"
I read a review of the film where the critic just didn't GET why certain things happened.
I get it
I get it completely. That's why I fell in love with the film
Frank Langella was amazing and I have a crush, Lili Taylor as his daughter bringing her Lili style to the film as she does in all her films (see Say Anything etc), Adrian Lester was perfect casting, and Lauren Ambrose is a favorite of mine since her days on Six Feet Under.
I wanted to be IN this film, as in, IN THE STORY.
That's how much I loved it.
It just shows that if you don't live then you can't write....
I'm not going to talk about the plot. Just see it.
It just is...

Umm
I like decorating
When it's fast
So I have to kind of figure things out in my head then get to the store buy everything I need then get to it
The figuring out part, when you do it on a program is so labor intensive because there are so many choices.
I think I like working it out in my head, because I'm not going to get many of the things I put in this model
I'm going to know it when I see it
But just in case. The 3d aspect is a big help
Le sigh

Emotions
I still feel sorry for everybody here
This situation is kinda insane.
Let me talk about Norm (see pic above)
I like Norm Lewis the actor. He is tall, handsome, bulky, not overly skinny for a guy, nice smile, sweet eyes, lovely big hands, nice creamy voice, smooth skin (YES I LOOKED AT ALL OF THAT- GET OVER IT!) etc.
But the thing is, that he was brought into the show to be the 'not as passionate' partner for LIV.
Meanwhile everybody dislikes him. The blogs, the forums, the podcasts sing the hymns of loathing for Norm and his character on the show.
But I dunno what they expect. If they had cast Blair Underwood or Idris Elba as Edison, everybody would turn against Fitz (Tony Goldwyn). Everybody admits that that is true.
So I feel sorry for Norm and the character Edison.
Edison never stood a chance
However I know for a fact that I would not get involved with somebody like Edison.
Too image conscious.
Yes he is a senator.
But there's just SOMETHING off .
I think it's that thing where you know you can't be REAL friends with somebody.
Where you don't really trust them (to really let your hair down around them, because you've done it before and got burned, then did it again and got burned worse) even though your brain is telling you they are 'NICE' enough
That thing where you know you can't dance in the rain for a few seconds without them having something snarky to say. That shadow of meanness that they bring out and think it's funny or witty, but everybody knows it's meanness and whispers about it when they aren't around.
So my point is, poor Norm...
I will totally support him in another role :)

A love
One of my best friends has a radio show
It is so lovely and so down.
I listen every Thursday
His playlist is smooth, and cool, and just soooo good
He also has great commentary and a smoooooth voice on the radio :)))
I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it.
http://peoplewillradio.org/culture-bunkerthursday-0
He's sooooooo good
DJ Hot Spexxx
He rarely has a song that I don't like on his playlist
I wanna hear HIS music though and read his liner notes
He told me he would be working more seriously on it in the new year
So knowledgeable about music and music history
Ask him ANYTHING and he knows

Meanwhile
I still need a few more months (or years) to get over this...
Still tear up over this and the others (fam and friend) this year and last.

Dissolves
You know when you watch a movie and some part brings to mind somthing you guys all know?
Then you look at each other and do this? (Thanks Tara and Lafayette #TrueBlood)
Then it dissolves into giggles?
Yeh that happened

I dunno what to say
I have seen a lot of the movies that Tony Goldwyn has been in, as principle charaters
But Only recently did I come to realise that he was in those movies
I dunno what's up with that
I only recently started to NOTICE him because of his acting in SCANDAL
Ghost was the only movie I remember him from.
Since then I've seen many of his films, including American Rhapsody, yet didn't realize till I read interview transcripts of his
It's weird that I didn't even pick him out
I know I tend to pick the break out star and focus on them, but I kinda think that if I've seen so many of them why didn't I pick him out ONCE...
It's weird
Now I wanna see him on Broadway.
He said one of the best things to happen to him was singing in Carnegie Hall. I would be excited too. I like his voice and enthusiasm. You can tell it makes him happy...

I liked this one too :)

Langston
Harlem- A Dream Deferred
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore—
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over—
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
—Langston Hughes (1902-1967)
