The Monday Moment
Flash Theatre. Some people have way too much time on their hands. And thank God they do. Remember these words of wisdom “Moar Puppets!” Enjoy.
Boy Meets Coil
I know I’ve been getting a little “off-topic” lately – but this video reminds me of all the “Spiderman: The Musical” type of theatre productions that keep trying to pass themselves off as “innovation” these days. Just too damn funny. And too damn real. Enjoy.
The Thursday Thought
An interesting interview with Christopher Hitchens who is dying of cancer. Hitchens, if you don’t know, is an atheist. Not being an atheist, I find this to be a fascinating study – a man who believes he will simply cease to exist when he dies, dealing with the reality of that approaching day. Though I [...]
The Monday Moment
If you have ten minutes to kill check out this fascinating video. Kind of an “animated intellectualism” if you will. The basic premise: “Charity is evil”. But it’s not what you think. And the animation is killer. This’ll kick start your Monday Morn. Enjoy.
Marriage is so Gay
By now you’ve all heard about the Prop 8 ruling. Whatever your views on the subject it seems to me that it’s really a non-issue for the next generation. As is the legalization of marriage and most races issues. Talk to a kid in high school and these things are just un-important. They’ve already been [...]
Comedy
Take note actors, writers, directors. This is comedy. Pure and simple. Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis: Steve Carell from Between Two Ferns
The Monday Moment (on a Tuesday)
I’m back! Lots to talk about, lots to catch up on. But until then, your Monday Moment (on a Tuesday). Is there some law against the cold-blooded murder of a washing machine? Well thank God there isn’t because then we wouldn’t have this gem. These guys have way too much time on their hands…
The Monday Moment
Ah, the good old days. When all you needed was you, your girl and your Johnson. Enjoy.
The Thursday Thought
“Serenity Now” or “Seinfeld, the Thriller”. It’s all in the cut. In life and the movies. Enjoy.
The Monday Moment
These filmmakers created this little animated montage to their 35 favorites films – in two minutes! It’s all very abstract so it provides a nice challenge to your analytical skills to figure out which movies they are representing. Also proves again how succinctly a story can be told when – well – when the filmmakers [...]
The Monday Moment
How to take it and give it. A stand up comic gives us a lesson in pure in the moment theatre.
Harvey Pekar – RIP
I can’t say that I knew him that well, but I do remember these visits on Late Night with Letterman. Classics. A true curmudgeon. And one of the most brilliantly socially awkward personalities ever. Rest in Peace, Harvey.
The Thursday Thought (on a Friday)
This dude really likes rainbows. His joy is a little embarrassing and yet… But then… Oh, the seeds of inspiration are a mysterious thing. But this tune, Lemon Heads, built from the Rainbow Guy’s images and words…well, it could be a hit!
The Monday Moment
John Stewart skewering the mainstream media once again. Or rather, allowing them to skewer themselves. Sometimes you just gotta get ‘em talking… The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Mon – Thurs 11p / 10c McChrystal’s Balls – Honorable Discharge www.thedailyshow.com Daily Show Full Episodes Political Humor Tea Party
Insults Galore
Just in case you’re at work, you’ve had enough, and you want to go out in a blaze of glory. Here are ten minutes of glorious cinematic insults. Oh, and, uh, not safe for work. Use headphones. Heh.
Medea. In a Cave. In Greece.
The ever-enterprising Tamar Fortgang is trying to finance this thoroughly unique production of Medea. In a cave. In Greece. It’s called, oddly enough, THE MEDEA PROJECT. Here’s the video on the project: Here’s the blurb from the project site: The MHΔEIA Project (TMP) is a bi-cultural theatrical event between sister-cities Athens and Los Angeles. The work [...]
The Thursday Thought
I have two cats and love them dearly, but this video vividly displays why I’ll always be a “dog person” at heart. Simply put, “They Fetch”.
The Monday Moment
Joy. It’s a beautiful thing to behold. Now that the USA has been knocked out of the World Cup after their spectacular run, I think it might help everyone on this Monday morning to take a look at pure joy in action. Just to get you through the day. These are the reactions of crowds [...]
Bitter Lemons Outrageous Award for Theatre goes to…
All the productions during the Hollywood Fringe Festival deserve a standing ovation and an award for pulling their show together, working with other performers harmoniously, supporting their peers, and supporting Hollywood. Three productions were nominated for the BLOAT (Bitter Lemons Outrageous Award for Theatre). Kill Your Television which was a fantastic production, was one of [...]

The Thursday Thought
If the Man tries to hand you some bullshit, just THROW IT ON THE GROUND. Enjoy.
A Conversation with Paul Gordon
Last week, I sat down with Paul Gordon, the Tony nominated composer of Jane Eyre, and most recently Daddy Long Legs. Our discussion covered the recent Tony Awards, his new musical, the state of theater in Los Angeles, and of course, Glee. Over the next few days, I’ll be posting snippets from our conversation, concluding [...]
The Faces of Bitter Lemons Revealed…Eating Pie!
Yes, at long last, the faces behind the words of Bitter Lemons have been revealed. Caught in the act of eating pie! We were finally able to gather almost the whole gang for a little eat, meet and greet and I can tell you right now – what a great looking bunch of people! And [...]
Monday Fun at the Fringe (June 21, 2010)
Today was a pretty bad day for me because I happened to be at the Trader Joe’s on Selma and Vine at 5pm when a pedestrian attempted to cross the street and was run over by a delivery truck. I was there when the woman died and it pretty much messed up my head. I [...]
The Monday Moment
What to say, Lemon Heads? It’s all about the Hollywood Fringe Festival. Catching stuff that’s ranging from great to greater. I’m really quite impressed by how good the quality of the stuff is out there. Sorry my posting’s have been so light but it’s cuz I’ve been jammin’ at the Fest. So much to see, [...]
