I'M HIGH ON FEAR! (repeat fifteen million fucking times)

[thehefner]

Has anyone read or seen Kenneth Lonergan's play LOBBY HERO? Because I can't find it anywhere, and Serge wants me to do a selection from that for my class' final scene.

I'm hesitant because I didn't care for the only Lonergan play I'd seen, THIS IS OUR YOUTH (the fact that Chris Klein and Freddie Prinze Jr. were in it probably didn't help). Also, last night when I talked with Serge, he seemed very interested in letting me play Alan in EQUUS, which I had just been told by a friend that I could and should play. Well, it looks like Serge is offering the part of EQUUS to another guy, but much as I wanted to play that, I think that the role will more benefit this guy than it will me. So I can be cool with that, even though I had kinda wanted to explore Alan, if only for one scene.

But I sure hope THIS IS OUR YOUTH is not indicative of Kenneth Lonergan. So, again: LOBBY HERO, motherfuckers, did you read it?!



Also, my father just turned 75. I sang him the birthday dirge, and was frankly amazed by how much he loved it. I just cannot predict that man. I'll be buying him a lasagna from Ledo's, as per his request, and we'll watch a movie. We haven't seen WHAT ABOUT BOB? for several years, and it's one of his favorites. Could be fun!

I thought my sister and I were the only people on the planet who loved What About Bob?. we quote it all the time. although the most recent rewatch my mom just kept saying, "God Bob's annoying." heh.

The more I think about that film, the more amazed I am by how well it works. Bob could be such a scary fucking stalker if Bill Murray weren't lovable and Richard Dreyfuss weren't such a smug, hateful prick (I'm convinced it's Dreyfuss who's the real comic genius in that film, much as I love Bill).
