Can I have a line?

Yesterday I was acting in the film "This Side of the Truth " in Lowell. Ricky Gervais is the lead, written and co-directs. The entire day is surreal because I was thinking I was in the film "Extras" except he was acting and directing . He is exactly the same off camera as he is on camera. He has a blog here on the production of it. Tina Fey and Jennifer Garner was on the set as well. The film is a comedy that is set in a world where no one lies. Except one guy invents the lie and the whole world freaks out. The scene they shot yesterday was pretty funny. Most of the comedy films I was on they were pretty serious on set but this one it was difficult not to laugh at times. The day went quickly because I didn't have to wait hours before being called onto the set. Today I am there again.

The other day I watched Wax Mask (italian: M.D.C. - Maschera di cera) . Directed by Sergio Stivaletti and written by Dario Argento and Lucio Fulci . I think it was Lucio Fulci's last movie he ever worked on and died while producing and writing it. Dario stepped in to complete it. The movie looks visually amazing but the English print of it has terrible dubbing on it. The voice actors speaking in English over act and it ruins the experience of it. I also hated the music score in certain scenes because it's playing while the actors are speaking. Which is fine for movies like "Gone with the Wind" for that era but it just is distracting these days.

The album is still set for release. Actually nothing can stop the release date! It's like a rocket that already has been set at "ignition sequence start". Which is kind of nice. This weekend I will be working on getting more reviews for it in magazines and such. If you know of any cool underground newspapers or magazines that have a music section let me know.

Ok I admit I probably will watch Ironman and Harold & Kumar this weekend as well. (I think this is the most links I ever had to imdb in one post before!)
