Robin Williams Walks Away from a Hypothetical Masterpiece (And It's Not Patch Adams 2)



not much energy to arrange any original thoughts tonight.

I read a few movie tidbits tonight... all from cinematical.

Number one: interestingly enough, one of the top actors in my book Don Cheadle will be directing and starring in an upcoming biopic of Miles Davis.

Numero dos: Live Free or Die Hard, not a movie about Bon Jovi but the fourth film in the Die Hard, will have its trailer premiere with some showings this weekend of Blood Diamonds.

Yes, that's though one with Leonardo DiCaprio talking it in a south African accent. you know the political movie with the kidnapped kid and what have you. If Live Free or Die Hard looks anything like Rocky 6, count me in. next they will merge Rambo with Bruce Willis' depressed hitman character from The Whole Nine/Ten Yards. Sounds like a buddy comedy waiting to happen. maybe even an Arnold can take a break and bring back of The Terminator.

Number three: I'm sad to be the one to tell you this what Robin Williams has dropped out of Mrs. Doubtfire 2. Some kind of feud over script quality. All three of you, I'm sure, are sorely disappointed.

note: I did this post with voice recognition software. Easier then I thought.

watched Nip/Tuck tonight, a little to too tidy for my liking. But next week's season finale seems pretty interesting.

in a few days, space I'll give an update about the Brian Jonestown Massacre show I saw a few days ago. This time they actually played a show, for about three hours. If you're lucky, I might even have a video of that you.

I Wish I Worked For Esteban



As I sit here enjoying, Esteban Master Class, a 30 min infomercial starring the true star of all music teaching infomercials, on the excellent Pax Network no less, it dawned on me that I hadn't blogged in weeks and that one person has checked it on an almost daily, devotional (obsessive) basis, just dying for an update.

I thought of how I wish I was apprenticing to be Esteban because my 14 hour day entailed insistent loud volume editing of a 3 minute long ridiculous video by my newly obsessed by You Tube boss. He heard about it a couple of days ago. He thinks it's the future and wonders why people can't spell. Then he asked me how to spell "therefore" and "your." Make sure to pay important attention to his important note, "I upload therefore I am," which was originally "I upload so therefore I am."



And then there was the midnight insistence that I act in this fantastic piece of Halloween Propaganda:


We only did five takes. It was a great night.

Remember BaronBob is a star but Esteban is a Pax Star.

And while I'm pumping some bad videos, here are 2 videos for my new favorite songs:


Malajube "Montreal"


"Young Folks" by Peter, Bjorn, & John



Then there's I'm Form Barcelona's "Treehouse" which should but doesn't have a cutesy video. But you can see another video by them here. Not on YouTube (gasp!) All this peppy music and I'm still int eh dumps. That's what Internet retail does to a man, even of my super powers.

On the TV Front I read something...

TV Squad blogged on the newest cast members of the best show on TV - dos y cuatro AKA 24: " That's right - Deadwood's Cy Tolliver meets Babe's Father Hoggett meets The Boondocks' Huey Freeman meets Kumar. Who doesn't want to see that?" That's right Kumar/ Van Wilder's Indian friend will have the world in his hands.
