ceebeegeeWayne and I have been exchanging emails about the show:
Me: I'm on 62 today, sitting in for Naomi Wiesen's assistant. Come down if you get a chance so we can trash some of the other shows last night!
Wayne: Fair enough. I just need a few hours to inflate my aero-bed and I'll be right there.
Me: Maybe you can dance down the halls ostentatiously, like Mr. F*ckin' Belvedere. (a reference to one of the actors in "Just Looking")
Wayne: Ok, first, never insult Mr. Belvedere around me. That show is an institution. ;o)
Second, when a girl is overweight, are we just supposed to assume she's funny? (a reference to another actor in "Just Looking")
Third, "The Simpsons" last night had a movie poster called "Seven Brides for Six Brothers" and had 6 couples dancing and 1 brother sitting all alone dejected. It was funny.
Wayne: (a bit later--I hadn't responded right away) Sorry, I guess I should ask who you're friends with in the cast before I go specifically bashing.
Me: Oh Lord, no--I don't know any of the other cast members except for the redhead in "Lucky 13" and I've only chatted with her once or twice.
Duncan said the girl in "Just Looking" was really nice though. He hasn't seen the shows in the second act--I told him he wasn't missing anything.
Wayne: The one with the curly hair? That's my friend Laura.
She said she really liked you, but only chatted a few times.
She thinks your show is the best one.
Me: Aw! I liked that show a lot as well. I just love the rhythms in it--I think those two actresses are too young for those roles but they take a pretty decent hack at them anyway. She's been very complimentary to me about "A Hillside in Hell."
Wayne: Yeah, they are young for it.
I missed the 1st one. The saxaphone one was good, although the construction worker needs to butch it up a bit.
Me: The first one isn't bad. It starts off funny, and then gets boring toward the end.
Not crazy about the construction worker--I would've directed him VERY differently. He needs to be a lot more deadpan, contrasted with her weirdness. He's trying too hard--he doesn't inhabit the character the way she does.
Wayne: That's true.
By the way - yours was VERY well cast. (which other people have said to me as well)
Me: Thank yew. I had EXTENSIVE auditions for the role of Prometheus. I auditioned those men THOROUGHLY. All in the name of artistic integrity, of course.
Wayne: So the inflatable bed is yours?
