Yes, becaues, no matter how satisfying the dominance, having someone pee in your office chair is kind of gross.

I saw Man of the Year last night.

It was an okay movie. Different than I expected, a few good one liners, but nothing too funny or moving.

The OC Register gave it a "D", but I would have given it a "B-". Pretty good plot, but not very well executed. I felt that they reigned in Robin Williams too much. But part of that is because he was playing a comedian trying to play it straight.

We watched Garden State again last night. I love that movie. So many parts are really lame, but the good parts are so good. Great soundtrack too. And Zach Braff. Who could ask for more?

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

Best movie title ever.
:)

A coworker recommended Noises Off and we Netflixed it. Amazing cast, wonderfully balletic dance of onstage/offstage antics, everyone was great. Pretty funny, though not incredibly so, but still highly amusing. I found myself turning away in embarrassment. I would freak out if I were on stage trying to handle all these problems.

'Noises Off' stresses me out. Seriously. I love the play and I think the film's okay, but it seriously stresses me out. It's like watching an actor's nightmare on film. I'd love to play the stage manager/crew guy one day.
:)

there's a one act play called "The Actor's Nightmare". Very funny. But not a movie (that I'm aware of).

I love "The Actor's Nightmare"! It's often performed with "Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You" since both are really one act plays. If you have a chance to read, or even better see, either/both, I highly recommend doing so. Christopher Durang is a tremendously funny writer and I think his Cathodic perspective will resonate especially well with you GC.

I've seen "Actor's Nightmare" done at Chapman University. I love it.

I have not seen "SMIEIAFY" but I've heard great things about it. It's a must for me. I know it.
:)

All these great plays come up all of a sudden!

There is a movie based on Sister Mary ... but it's very "opened out" from the play. (I think it was made for HBO.)

I'll be attending a live performance of Noises Off this weekend. The WDW cast member theater group is putting it on. (They're called S.T.A.G.E. - That stands for "Society for Theater Arts, Growth and Expression," as awkward an acronym as you could ever hope for. I was once Vice President of said organization.)
