heyhey:
heres what ive been up to:
well due to late trains i didn't get to go to siren festival.:( boo hoo. anyways i was halfway there in a not-so-nice part of brooklyn and we decided to turn around because QandnotU went on at 4 and it was already 4:30 and we would never make it. oh well i think im going to make sure that the stars align so i can go to one of the black cat shows..which means i need to get tix like now!
anyways what did happen is i got tickets to see the hollow men(as seen on comedy central) limited engagement at the village theatre down on bleeker st. and it was their last show there, starting at 10:30pm, so we had some time to kill. but the major reason we turned around was the imax theatre at lincoln centre was showing charlie and the chocolate factory at 5:30 so if we turned around in sunset park, bk, we could maybe make it there in time. well we did, but it was sold out. so we got regular tix to see it there at 7:30 my feelings on it are still not very cemented- i think the first one is better and creepier but this one was more entertaining and better put together although too much CGI makes me bitter and i felt like there was a little too much. but thats just me. if you haven't seen it, you must go, it is very worth it, j. depp is a very good wonka. there were other things i didnt quite understand like he was supposed to be english and as a child he was and his father was(stop reading if you haven't seen it) and we as an audience know that j.depp does a smashing english accent (pirates, finding neverland) so why not here? the vocal choice was very interesting and a less threatening more *excuse this* peter-pan-esque style, boy eternal type deal. still a good movie but it will never replace the original.
anyways on to other things, after lunch at ollie's noodle shop and charlie, we went downtown and saw the hollow men perform. and they were awesome. i thought they were great. they did a few bits from the show but they did some other's i'd never seen. they were really funny and probably the closest i will get to seeing the kids in the hall live in a small, smalllll theatre.
they'll never be as good as the kids, but i'd have to say they are the next generation of foreign sketch comedy. They also re-kindeled (yeah i did that on purpose) the thought that i could be a part of something like that and make a living doing something fun. ps, i also went to UCB theatre a few weeks ago and saw my roomate in a show there, but i didnt think it was very good. ive heard that the students in the final level courses there are good, but johnny boy is just in the second course, and i felt like i had done better improv in my acting classes in the kitchen(an excercise). iii dunno. if i had the money i'd love to take an improv class there, because they are the Upright Citizen's Brigade and i absolutely adored their tv show and their work.
anwyays enough about me, how was your day?
in love with love and lousy poetry
