Plans for a Friday Night!
OK, so this is what my night looks like. This is the email I sent out to our normal movie-going crew:
First there's dinner at 6:10ish at Crispers at Winter Park Village (The Swillage)
David and I are seeing NOTES ON A SCANDAL tonight at 7:20pm. This is the one with Cate Blanchett and Dame Judy Dench (sweet, little talented, chubby Judi Dench! As Sir Ian McKellen called her when he dressed in drag as Dame Maggie Smith). Both Cate and Judi have SAG nominations for this, so it should be good.
Afterwards, I am going to go see fellow-Fringer Tod Kimbro and his band, The Chemists, at Austin's Coffee and Film, if anyone wants to join me.
So, here’s the trailer to Notes on a Scandal:

Also, right now I am listening to Stars of Track & Field (SoT&F) – their lovely debut Centuries before Love and War. I am posting a yousendit file here of their song Movies of Antarctica. You should be able to download it for about a week.

And finally, though you may not be able to hear it in this song alone, SoT&F remind me of a harder-edged Halloween, Alaska. Here's Halloween, Alaska’s song Call It Clear.

Currently, it's my off Friday, so I am sitting at home missing Sarah French a bit. These days used to be our play dates. I should be working or writing a bit or cleaning. I'll get around to it.

Sir Ian's tale reminds me of a story Dustin Hoffman told on himself. Many years ago, he starred opposite Sir Lawrence Olivier in Marathon Man. In preparing for the torture scene where Larry was drilling out Dustin's teeth after Dustin's character had been running all night, Dustin had actually been out running all night. Larry says to him "My dear boy, why don't you just try acting. It's so much easier."
My favorite part is where Sir Ian admits, as if it's a great secret, that the words are written in the script! Gasp! Really!?!?!
