  zoo story - dean

v. and I did a quick photo shoot at noon for fest magazine. i don't care
what it is, i just hate getting my picture taken professionally. if it's
casual with friends, i'm all about it, but once it's "for something"...
blech.

fine problem to have. just so's you know.

rushed from there to a 12:15 showing of zoo story.

it's such a beautiful play and i always think about how it must've just
freaked audiences out when it was originally produced back in the 60's. that
sort of class warfare right there in front. the eloquence of the jerry
character. his rage and acceptance of it. it's so beautiful.

i think the director didn't fight enough for the other character, but that's
a common trap. it was still a good battle, but the trap is that the jerry
character is so sexy and eloquent that the other guy is just left to watch.

i'm glad they didn't update it, other than change the salary and add a
stephen king reference, but they didn't do the obvious thing like make jerry
"urban".

the two actors were wonderful.

It's also weird because now I'm too old to play jerry. i did it in peggy's
class a million years ago and i got a bit nostalgic for those days while
watching it.

man, it's a great play.

acting is hard work. it sure is.

i guess one of the actors is a big to-do here. saw michael blaha afterwards
and that's what he said. the guy playing jerry is also doin the odd couple
and that's sold out, they tell me. hmm..

i'd forgotten that they play one movie a month here at beanscene. this
month, it's doctor doolittle II - electric boogaloo. it sure looks shitty.
talking animals and eddie murphy making money.

i'd like to start doing movies and tv again. it seems like the thing to do
when i get back. i miss it.

we're selling a shitload of tickets. it's good. it is very good.

the theater holds 130 or so. i'd like to sell that out at least once. i bet
that would be cool to do the show for that many people.

the best news of all is that jessie arrives today. yes!

rock on. this is sooooo much better than last year.
