ptpgradI keep noticing how much I need to get done for "work" and for my work at faire. Seems I spend my entire week between shows fixing, sewing, washing, preparing...sigh. It's never ending.
And now I think my digital camera isn't working right...grand. Gotta love the rain. At least it's looking to be dry and in the low 80's this weekend. THANK GOD.
Weekend was interesting, but that will be written, or is being written for AFR...yeah, eventually, if I am lucky...in my copious free time. Sigh...If I am lucky, I will be home before 9pm tonight.
Saw Open Range last night with Patrick. Good enough movie, but can I say for the record that KEVIN COSTNER CAN NOT ACT HIS WAY OUT OF A PAPER BAG. Thank you. He kept having moments where I thought "oh, there's life, he can make the lines sound more than reading text from a paper, maybe, maybe..." and then wham! right back to the flat lifeless by rote text spewing. Maybe Dances with Wolves was a fluke...who knows. Annette Benning, Robert Duvall, Michael Gambone, and Michael Jeter, etc. were great.
I had a very sad moment seeing the credits of the movie. Michael Jeter passed away last year. I was shocked to see his name. This must have been his last movie. I saw Michael perform before he got "famous," at a dress rehearsal of Grand Hotel in Boston. It was so early in the process that they piano had to play alone on occasion because the orchestrations weren't even written yet and they were frantically sewing costumes in the lobby. Tommy Tune had asked the local theater companies if they would be willing to be an audience for the cast, so I got to see it. (Chamber Repetory Theater of Boston, if anyone cares) Michael Jeter came out as the little dying Jewish bookkeeper. Complete unknown actor, dress rehearsal...at that moment, I already knew he was going to win the Tony...and he did. He was amazing. At the awards ceremony, he was in tears explaining how he had had a drug and alcohol addiction problem and that he had found the strength to pull himself out of it and now found himself on the stage receiving this most high alcolade. I was so proud of him. Wish I could have met him personally. He was great in Fisher King. Always had a special place in my heart for him. Talent like that should not be forgotten.
