Misc. Thoughts

[thehefner]

1.) I have no frickin' idea what the hell to get my mother for Mother's Day. Other than a new wooden cooking spoon, I haven't the faintest clue what she needs or wants anymore. Maybe another orchid? I don't know. Shit.

2.) So I got an e-mail from the One campaign, which I signed up for, but the e-mail showed up in my box saying it came from "Matt Damon." Sure enough, there was a letter by Mr. Damon, sent out as a mass e-mail alterting folks about the fact that the U.S. Senate is poised to slash billions of dollars from Bush's plan to fight AIDS and poverty in South Africa and Zambia. This is a serious, terrible situation, and hopefully a difference can be made.

3.) And yet, the very first thing that I did upon reading that e-mail was to say, "MATT DAMON!" Come on, I know some of you were too. See you in Hell!

4.) I really don't like making out with my male co-star. I just... nope. No, sir. Don't like it.

Aww. *pets*

Linkin Park, god help me, from the new Miami Vice trailer

Oooh, Miami Vice! I'm sorta kinda eagerly anticipating that.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

I'm lookin' forward to it too. Michael Mann is the guy who did HEAT, COLLATERAL (the best thing Cruise has ever done, in my opinion; by which I mean he was actually good), and one of my all-time favorites, MANHUNTER.

Still, the Linkin Park rap music in the trailer ain't helping matters.

[kmousie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Mann's good at his job (if a little in love with his own footage sometimes...I think The Insider would have been a much tighter movie if they'd cut about half an hour). Heat was a masterpiece. Probably my favorite Pacino performance since Dog Day Afternoon. And DeNiro...Lord, I wanted him to get away with it. I need to see that again.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

DOG DAY AFTERNOON is my favorite Pacino performance too! It's because of that film that I absolve him of any of the blame of SCARFACE.

Which reminds me, I need to make an icon of "SAY HARRO TO MAH RIDDLE FRIEN'!"

And yeah, I think it's the general consensus that the only thing keeping HEAT from being an ageless masterpiece is that DeNiro should have gotten away with it.

YES.

Validation, yay!

well...

i actually do not do much for my mother this weekend in the realm of super special. She gets a card, and more, in december, when she became a mother.

Okay, I think LJ ate my comment. If this posts twice, sowee.

Anyway, I was totally thinking "MATT DAAAMON!" also. Trey and Matt ruined Matt Damon for me. Oh, who the hell am I kidding? He never had a chance to begin with.

*hugs* That's okay. That's where the acting comes in, right?

1) I usually feel the same way about my mom - she has everything and anything she doesn't have I probably can't afford. But she loves to read so I usually get her a gift card to Barnes & Noble or a couple books with a funny card.

2) I got that too from MoveOn.org, I think.

3) I'm bringing the party hats.

4) You could pretend it's a hot girl...or something...

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

1.) Yeah, I suppose some William Wegman card will do well enough.

4.) I've become the token straight guy in the group. I have to caress his arm at one point, and he said, "Just pretend it's a boob."

As for the pretending it's a hot girl idea... he doesn't shave all the time, so when I was supposed to kiss him at one point, we missed and it felt like rubbing my face against sandpaper. So no amount of pretending is gonna happen here, I fear.

What can us little people do about that whole Senate-AIDS thing? I'd really like to know and put forth my tiny little contribution.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Check out the link I posted above, or visit the One Campaign's website. That's what I did. Do it ASAP, as I think the cuts are gonna be decided upon tomorrow.

Giftcard to Williams Sonoma. Works everytime.

I don't know what I'd do without giftcards. Or cash. Cash works too.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Ooohoohoo! Good idea!!! Thank you SO much!

Sorry if I missed this and it's been posted already, but what play are you doing?

/'Cause if it's The Crucible, you might be doing it wrong... ;-)

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Hehe, it's a play called THE DAVID DANCE. The playwright produced and performed it at least twice before in NYC to pretty damn good, if not great, acclaim, and now he's doing it down here in DC. Whereabouts do you live? Mayhaps you could swing by! Play info is at www.trumpetvinetheatrecompany.org, I think the url for Trumpet Vine is. I think. I'm in the bloody play, I really should know.

In fact, now what I'm thinking about it... um, not to be rude, but do I know you? I checked out your profile and you're not connected to me in any ways I can see! Not that I'm not flattered by more readership, mind you.

Now, see, I actually have done The Crucible. Played Judge Danforth. And let me tell you, I think that play could certainly have used a bit more Goodwife on Goodwife action.

"In fact, now what I'm thinking about it... um, not to be rude, but do I know you? I checked out your profile and you're not connected to me in any ways I can see! Not that I'm not flattered by more readership, mind you."

You were metaquoted (the Burts Bees Incident - which, come to think on it, would make a great title for something) and I was megalaughing. And lo, friending did ensue.

"Now, see, I actually have done The Crucible. Played Judge Danforth"

Yet sadly this was *not* the full-frontal experience you mention in your profile, was it?

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Aha, yes! I was honored that kali chose to metaquote me in such a fashion. Had I signed up for metaquotes myself, I would have seen the connection. I just might do that, but my friends list is so bloody long as it is.

Sadly, no, this was not the full-frontal experience. That was a play called BLUE SURGE, and there was audience seating on stage in the round, so there was not a single safe seat in the whole house. As you can probably imagine, there's a story with that. Read my journal long enough, you'll find with me there's a story with most things.
