IMDb newsbrief:
Farrell's 'Huge' Manhood Cut from Film
Irish heart-throb Colin Farrell's first full frontal movie scene has been cut by worried film bosses - after test audiences were transfixed by the size of his manhood. The Phone Booth hunk disrobed for scenes in upcoming drama A Home at the End of the World, but after seeing the stunned reaction of viewers at a recent screening, chiefs decided to chop the naughty images. And the news has been greeted with fury by self-confessed Romeo Farrell, who has demanded the scenes must be included in the DVD release of the film. A source tells British newspaper the Sun, "All you could hear were gasps when Colin appeared in his full frontal pose. The women were over-excited and the men looked really uncomfortable. It was such a sight it made it difficult to concentrate on the plot, so the decision was made to get rid of it." Even director Michael Mayer admits, "It was distracting." In the film, Farrell plays a bisexual man caught in a love triangle.
In OTHER news. Isn't there anyone left who wants a bloody gmail account? I've 5 more invites.
Finally, I'm feeling overwhelmed:
I have a casting tonight I may or may not go to (hi, if I'm going to be speaking in a commercial pay me)
An audition sometime between now and Sunday (scheduling is being a bitch)
A registration for an background agency on Sunday
An audition for The Booth Variations on Friday (sides for which I think I was supposed to have received by now and haven't)
Amanda actually being here briefly Friday/Saturday (Cate, I'll call you tonight, as you can see I have some serious ass biting going on with my schedule)
An audition for The Laramie Project on Monday (Must learn monologue about dead dog)
An outdoor Shakespeare audition thingy on like July 8 (Must learn second Shakespeare monologue to constrast with Lady Anne)
This is what I signed up for, but I feel like I'm going crazy. Lots of running around and not a $ for it in sight.
I should also note this sort of stuff is why I get so mad when my father derisively mentions that I haven't ever made a single doallar to act (which isn't true). I am doing the work. I am really, honest to god doing the work, and from that all good things will eventually come. Like, hi, at absoute most I can say I've been doing this for a year and a half, and I think under those circumstances, I've a right to be vaguely impressed with the results, even if it's like acting career equivalent of not even having risen out of the primordial ooze yet.
Also, later I suppose I should have something to say (or not) about the whole Jeri Ryan/Illinois Senate Race/Sex Club Scandal Thing: http://www.nytimes.com/2004/06/23/national/23ryan.html

Date: 2004-06-23 06:57 pm (UTC)The same thing happened to Ralph Fiennes in Red Dragon for precisely the same reason. The gawking and tittering ruined a very intense scene. I don't know if you've seen it, but, there is a scene where he runs up the stairs stark naked.
In the screen test version, (the scene) was considerabley longer, but (the scene) was cut short and the Mr. Fiennes penis was digitally altered to be hidden mostly in shadow. They, of course, wouldn't do him the diservice of making his penis digitally smaller. The stigma, you know.
I thought we were ready for full frontal male nudity, but it seems it is still in need of de-mystification.
I want cock
Date: 2004-06-23 10:17 pm (UTC)We have been using beautiful naked people, beautiful women especially, since the beginning of film. We use them because they are distracting. What could possibly punch up an inferior production better than someone pretty?
We have used this trick so often and so pervasively in mainstream cinema that now instead of a good story we are treated to vehicles. Did we see Troy because it was good or because Brad Pitt was beautiful? how about Meet Joe Black, Oceans Eleven,Seven Years in Tibet, Legends of the Fall? All tripe. How about most of the film work of Ben Afleck, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lopez, any Baldwin, Cameron Diaz, Kate Hudson, Mel Gibson, Will Smith, etc.?
Tell me what could possibly that interesting about the average bi-sexual (http://www.tlavideo.com/templates/results_list.cfm?kid=608&c=2&sn=290&v=2&enable=true) love triangle? Unless Ferrel's new movie is very character driven it's just a another vehicle to display someone pretty. If that's the case then I demand to see ALL of someone pretty.
btw
g-mail Please?
Cheers
