In Praise of Chris's Colleagues

TheCentralScrutinizer · 19 Aug 08 :: 15:47

And why wasn't Chris up for this movie? :fedup:

justme · 19 Aug 08 :: 15:51

He totally should've! Let's look at the cast and see who we can cut.;)

EDIT: after Imelda Staunton, there are 14 male cast members listed. Hmmm.

domesticelefant · 19 Aug 08 :: 18:45

Denny Duquette will also be in that movie. Cool.

I was asked to spread the word, so here's some news on Michael Welch I just received:

Michael is rehearsing for the play "Speech and Debate," starring the brilliant Mae Whitman and the incredable Aaron Himelstein at The Blank Theater [in Los Angeles], beginning Sept 12th - October 21 Thurs-Sat p.m. and Sunday matinees. If you make reservations prior to September 5th and use the code "postcard", there is a $3.00 discount. Please check out Mae Whitman and Aaron Himelstein on imdb.com as well as Michael Welch. I think this play is going to blow the socks off of West Hollywood. This has been a dream of mine to see these three do a play or movie together. Check out theblank.com for theater details. Also check out michaelwelchonline.com homepage for more info.
DESCRIPTION OF SPEECH AND DEBATE
Three teenage misfits in Salem, Oregon form their school's first speech and debate team after discovering they are all linked by a sex scandal that's
rocked their town. Secrets become currency, blogs are belted and bathing suit areas exposed in this dark comedy with music that explores the complex communications of young people caught in the borderland between late adolescence and adulthood. This hilarious new play will have you rolling in the aisles, as it lays clear the hypocrisy of the adult world with a fresh and unique perspective.
SPEECH & DEBATE opened to rave reviews in NYC last fall and has since taken the country by storm. Top theatres nationwide are clamoring for this play and The Blank is proud to have snagged the West Coast Premiere. The Blank premiered Stephen Karam's very first play (at age 17) at 2nd Stage Theatre, directed by Daniel Henning, as part of its annual Young Playwrights Festival. Karam is a three-time Festival winner.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST, Summit has changed the release date of "Twilight" to November 21st.

That play sounds awesome. Too bad it's in LA

TheCentralScrutinizer · 20 Aug 08 :: 16:48

But it's in LA at a very good time.

TeeJay · 20 Aug 08 :: 17:25

True. I never realized.

I wish I could see it. Michael and Aaron are such great actors.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 21 Aug 08 :: 06:30

Me too, Mel.

domesticelefant · 21 Aug 08 :: 19:51

Yeah, I bet it would be cool if we could see this.

larry-411 · 21 Aug 08 :: 20:37

I'll definitely be attending the final preview and/or Opening Night. I don't know what they'll allow in terms of pictures and/or video -- maybe I'll be able to get something before and/or after the play (that's a lot of and/ors lol).

TeeJay · 21 Aug 08 :: 20:40

Whatever you can get us would be great, Larry. However, if things fall into place, we might just be able to see the play in person. Please cross your fingers that things'll work out for us.

Well, now, that would be awesome! Be sure to let me (or you-know-who) know since Michael is going to try to make some kind of arrangement (not necessarily tickets, but at least set aside time to meet/talk) for anyone who he knows is coming to the play.

I'm hoping to be one of the first up with a review (I'm not allowed to post it until after Opening Night, even though it's showing for a week prior -- S.O.P. for those who don't know) and hopefully the critics will be kind.

Will do, as soon as I know whether this is gonna work out or not. It would be wonderful to be able to say hi to Michael and maybe also Aaron.

Cloris Leachman is gonna be on the next season of Dancing With the Stars in the US.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 25 Aug 08 :: 17:30

She was nasty on the Bob Saget roast. She's a dirty old lady! I love it!

magicalturkey · 25 Aug 08 :: 17:36

I know, I just watched it online. She was the only funny one there, I swear.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 25 Aug 08 :: 17:37

She was!

magicalturkey · 25 Aug 08 :: 17:47

"You, the fat one. No, the ugly fat one. What's your name?" "I'm an Academy Award winner...will somebody please punch me in the face so that I could please see some Stars?!" Then her and John Stamos at the end was priceless.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 25 Aug 08 :: 18:05

LOL! yep.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 26 Aug 08 :: 16:19

Amber's gonna do a cop show!!!

3) The ensemble police drama "The Unusuals," from writer-producers Noah Hawley ("Bones") and Peter Tolan ("The Larry Sanders Show," "Rescue Me"). The pilot starred Amber Tamblyn ("Joan of Arcadia"), Harold Perrineau ("Lost"), Adam Goldberg ("Zodiac," "Entourage") and Terry Kinney ("Canterbury's Law").

TeeJay · 26 Aug 08 :: 21:55

Will she be wearing a uniform? It's hard to imagine her in one...

The Toronto International Film Festival has now released the complete list of screening dates, times, and locations for all 312 titles (from 64 countries).

Many of Chris' co-stars from over the years have films there. Anton Yelchin has two, for example.

Please see my blog post at http://www.pronetworks.org/forum/story103466.html for links to the films organized by calendar view, list view, programs, and more.

TeeJay · 26 Aug 08 :: 23:38

We had been hoping Chris's movie Infestation would be screening in Toronto, but unfortunately it's not on the list. Bummer. I'm sure there's gonna be a lot of great films at TIFF. I'll be checking your blog, Larry.
