Apparently SNL tomorrow night is going to show the very first episode (which Carlin hosted).  The fact that George Carlin was hosting was the reason I saw the first episode of SNL, and I am definately going to watch it again tomorrow.

I nearly wore out my Class Clown album, It was an amzing album, I laughed everytime I heard it.


Then years later in the early 90s, when my son was a little boy, he was crazy for Thomas the Tank Engine, so we had alot of the videos, and needless to say, I saw those videos dozens of times.  They really weren't too bad, and it was especially nice to hear George Carlin's voice again, I realized how much I had missed listening to that voice.  Strangely, I have never enjoyed watching his standup as much as I enjoyed listening to him.

I wonder if the I Am Legend set will have the first version they made (before the studio made them change it)  it sounded like a really interesting film, instead of just the simple entertainment that they finally released.

Teejay, feel free to sent my comments if you like, (I'd wouldn't put them here if I didn't want people to see them).  I am not really critizing the show Miracles with my comments, it was probably a good show.  The situation was probably that the people making the show wanted it to be the show you were telling me about, and the network probably wanted the X-Files, so they were forced to try to balance the 2.

Deb, I have now seen enough of his work (although the tic code is one I still haven't seen, it is on my netflix list), to know he doesn't just forget how he played a part.  I also don't think he just makes sure he plays a part differently.  He looks into his character and decides how that character would do things, and that makes his performances different.  You are probably right that he is a method actor.  Although my experience has been that method actors are very different now, from what we all associate with method actors.  If you ask him about this stuff, I would love to hear the answer.

#1170 Re: Chris On Screen » Miracles - episode "The Bone Scatterer" » 27 Jun 08 :: 06:53

I saw this episode yesterday, and I can see why it has so much interest here.  Chris did a really nice job, and he was in dangerous territory for me.  There are certain similarities between this part and some of his others(especially JOA).  And he didn't fall into the trap so many actors do.  He didn't play the similarities in the same way he had before.  He didn't break down the way that Adam would have, he did it in a different way. He didn't walk, talk, or move like other characters he has played. That shows a seriousness about his work, which is refreshing.  I have often seen very good actors go to what I call their "Bag of tricks", which is that this emotion is played this way, and that emotion is played that way.  Chris could have easily played this part like Adam, and the producers would have been happy, and no one would have really thought about it.  But he didn't.  On a single shot guest appearance, he went to the trouble of working out how THIS character would react.  In some ways, this is the most impressive performance I have seen from him.  Not neccessarily his best performance, but it shows me a very serious as well as talented artist.  I watch acting everyday, over and over, and believe me that is something very special. 

As to the show, someone else mentioned X-files, and that is what I spent most of the show thinking.  It wasn't a bad show, but I didn't feel the need to watch any of the other episodes on the dvd.
