An Open Letter

Chris Evans!

Dear Mr. Evans,

It’s been a while since I have written you because you’ve been laying low. I haven’t seen you in any movies lately though I do know that you have a big one opening next week. Maybe that’s where you have been … off hitting the gym everyday to buff up your already perfect body for the reprise of the role of Johnny Storm. In fact, you are the only reason I will plunk down my hard earned cash to see “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.” I am sure that your shirtless scene(s) and overall charm will elevate the movie to being a wee bit more than total trash.

As always, if you need a break from all the zaniness of Hollywood stardom, you are more than welcome to drop by my mountain retreat anytime you want to. I promise that your stay would be most enjoyable!

Lust-ily yours,
Chas.

Mmmmm … Robin Hood

On the front of the new Doctor Who dvds from the “New Beginnings” Box Set there is a preview for the new-ish BBC series of “Robin Hood.” I really wasn’t paying all that much attention until the young and scruffy Robin (played by Jonas Armstrong) started romping around the screen acting all alpha male with his sword and bow/arrows. Yow. I think I need to see this show … now!

Excited!

I met up last night with Beth who is gonna choreograph “Cabaret” for me this fall. It was a meeting about the basics … what the set is gonna look like, how many songs does she have to worry about, etc. I am really excited because we seem to be on the same page about a lot of thing and I think she is gonna bring some cool ideas to the table. We went ahead and made some executive decisions about certain things and the music director is just gonna have to live with it. I have been trying to nail him down for a month and haven’t been able to schedule a meeting with him … yet.

Bummed!

It’s official and I am officially bummed. “Lost: The Complete Third Season” will not hit stores until December 11th this year (unlike the first two season which had August street dates). Since the start of Season Four won’t hit until January of 2008 they have pushed the release of Season Three back four months to generate the most buzz for the new season. I think I can wait that long … I think I can wait that long … I think I can wait that long …

Monday!

And I don’t really have anything much to say. Fun, semi-busy, semi-quiet weekend this past weekend.

I watched:
“The Shop on Main Street” (Really Liked It)
“The Law of Desire” (Really Liked It)
“Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown” (Loved It)
“The Flower of My Secret” (Loved It)

Yeah. I am a movie fiend.

Also continued to read “Lisey’s Story” and am still diggin’ it.

I went and saw the opening of “The Trip to Bountiful” at the theater and it’s a really solid show.

I wish that I had lots of exciting stories to tell about cute gay men and some making out … but I don’t. Talked to my friend Brett on Saturday night and we are going to try and get together while I am in NYC. That should be cool. Chatted with Scott last night.

I guess you could say that I am kinda hermit-ish right now.

Day (or Two) Late …

… but not a Dollar (or Two) Short. Inside are some pictures from this past Saturday. Preston, Tom, Robin and myself went on a wee hike at Flat Laurel Creek in the Black Balsam Wilderness. Afterwards Jen & Dan hosted a quite smashing cookout that featured tasty BBQ and a lot of beer. Continue reading “Day (or Two) Late …” →

It’s a few weeks until my NYC trip and what the hell am I doing? Ordering more dvd’s off Amazon. Sheesh. Seems like I would be saving that money for the trip … right? Well, yeah … but how can you pass up the thrills of two Godzilla movies and the sci-fi goodness of three classic Doctor Who stories? You can’t (or at least I can’t).

Here’s what I purchased:
1. “Ghidorah: The Three-Headed Monster”
2. “Invasion of Astro-Monster”
3. Doctor Who “New Beginnings” 3-Disc Box Set featuring:
3. “The Keeper of Traken”
3. “Logopolis”
3. “Castrovalva”~

Next Week!

King Ghidorah and Astro-Monster
“Ghidorah: The Three-Headed Monster” and “Invasion of Astro-Monster” are coming! Classic Media sure has been doing a bang-up job on their remastered Godzilla titles. If you haven’t gotten them yet, you should really pick up their editions of “Gojira,” “Godzilla Raids Again” and “Mothra vs. Godzilla.” They is s-w-w-w-w-weet!

My Night With Jake

Jake!
I had another strange dream last night. A bunch of us were at my house getting ready to go somewhere … and Jake was there as well. We were all chatty and I was trying to be real nonchalant and not let on just how much I wanted him. I kept trying to work it so that I would have to drive to wherever we were going … meaning that Jake would have to ride with me. I really wanted to be alone with him in my Jeep. Alas, I woke up before we left the house so I will never know if I could have had him all to myself.
