More Personal Movie Memories (from my working days)

Posted on 07/12/2011 by Pop-Culture Spectrum

Here I continue my movie memories of films I have worked on based on recollection and an old resume I found.

PRESUMED INNOCENT: I hadn’t noted this before but on all the films I worked through my teenage years my father came to set with me, which was actually a requirement. You had to have a parent and/or guardian with you. You could come by yourself as well and have a parent sign out entrusting you to the set, but my father and I had a great relationship and he got to vicariously live out his own dreams through me. What else was he going to do? He had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s when I was 10 and my mother was the breadwinner, much more dedicated to working. I think my dad loved getting to spend all that time with his son and getting to see me do my thing on a set. I know he must’ve gotten a blast over the fact that me being so gregarious, easy going and brave almost always wielded me time with the stars and/or director of the film instead of just sitting around with my fellow extras and the production assistants. On this film I took the opportunity during the amazing super spread lunch to go up to Harrison Ford and get some amazing face time. He ended up inviting my dad and me to sit down with him for lunch and proceeded to tell me stories and such. It was actually a truly great experience, not the greatest one I would have on a set, but a truly good one.

THREE MEN AND A LITTLE LADY: The scene I worked on was right in the beginning of the film at South Street Seaport. It was shot very quickly and there was practically no down time. I don’t remember getting meet Tom Selleck at all, or Ted Danson, or even Steve Guttenberg. I’m not really sure how that’s possible, but I have no memories of meeting them, just seeing them working on the set and filming. I did get to meet Ted Danson many years later though in an even cooler situation. His daughter was taking a tour of my college and he decided to come sit outside the student lounge and just relax. Back in college if I wasn’t in class or shopping that is where you’d find me. My home was too far away to go back to in between and the lounge was a chill place. I noticed Ted and we just got to talking, him asking me questions about the school and such and then just proceeding to other topics. I got to see Danson one more time after his daughter decided to attend the school and he was picking her up and he remembered so we talked some more. I’ve had other interactions with him since, related to other friends and acquaintances connections to him, but I still have yet to meet Tom Selleck and unfortunately not even Steve Guttenberg, who I freaking LOVE.

PRINCE OF TIDES: This was one of the only experiences of a film set where I felt such hate and animosity. Barbara Streisand obviously didn’t care about the extras and broke many Union rules. Our “trailer” was a bus with no air conditioning, our lunch were tuna salad sandwiches or peanut butter & jelly, both which had melted sitting inside the hot bus. We were kept waiting hours on end. I almost left this film out, but I decided to keep it in since I have those horrible memories. It has soured me to Streisand ever since. I wouldn’t mind getting a chance one day to be proven wrong.

THE PICKLE: I played an alien in the movie within a movie part of this production. My mom was Isabella Rosselini and she was a wonderful woman. Such a beauty to be around. Working on this film was an amazing adventure. I got to hang out with Donald Trump, Little Richard, Meg Ryan. I got a lot of life lessons from director Paul Mazursky. My mom hit on star Danny Aiello. She wasn’t really hitting on him as my dad was there too, but it made her day to flirt with one her favorite actors. I got to spend a lot of time with Aiello too. It was awesome. I also got to hang out with one of my regular extra buddies, Mario Bosco, who I’d done film work with before and would again. You might know him from The Hard Way and/or Maury Povich, Jimmy Kimmel, NYPD Blue, etc. This was just an awesome experience.

A BRONX TALE: Equally this was another amazing experience. Mario was on this set with me and the two of us spent a lot of time with future unfortunate convict Lillo Brancato. I had another friend of this set who also was with us a lot. Lillo brought some of his girls around the set so I got to have a temporary female to neck with. A lot of my time was spent talking to Chazz Palmintierri for hours on end as DeNiro as a first time director would take hours on end to set up a shot before filming. I got to learn how to play poker from some legit mob guys as well. I was amazed when I met Joe Pesci and I felt like I stood a foot taller than him. It was probably just an inch or two, but I was 16 and felt short at the time and he was Joe Pesci. DeNiro was a fascinating figure, but he really is as quiet as everyone says. Unless when it’s one on one and then he talks as much as anyone. I would not replace my time working on this film with anything I think.

A few more movies to go, but this is a good place to stop on memory lane for now I think.

Pop-Culture Spectrum History and Today: Ian Brill

Posted on 07/11/2011 by Pop-Culture Spectrum

A long long time ago in an internet far far away which had nothing to do with Star Wars this website existed in a different incarnation.  I did exhaustive HTML, created original logos and that jazz.  I even published the writings of some of my other internet friends who either didn’t have their own websites or wanted to contribute.  I was blessed to have the friends who gave me work, but one of the best was from now major comics writer Ian Brill.

Ian Brill’s career trajectory as I understand it (but can’t completely confirm or deny) started off as an intern at McSweeney’s, as well doing freelance work for Publisher’s Weekly, Newsarama and many other comics journalism sites, back in 2008 he landed an editor position at BOOM! Comics, working on a variety of books until finally getting the writing reigns to some of the Disney Afternoon line from BOOM! Kids which is now known Kaboom.  Ian has written Darkwing Duck and my personal favorite Chip & Dale’s Rescue Rangers.

Before all that though he was just another voice out there in the world of the internet and he wrote little bio pieces based on music inspired by the Nick Hornby book, Songbook.

It was really fun reading which fell under the title BRILL BUILDING, which had the double meaning of the essays being about Ian’s growing up, but also being inspired by the name of a famous building of musical history.

Luckily or unluckily (I’ll let him decide that) those articles are still sitting on the Pop-Culture Spectrum server.

I felt now with Ian’s star on the rise was a good time to share them.  There are four articles and you can read them right at this link.

Nerd Notes (Video Edition for July 11th, 2011)

Posted on 07/11/2011 by Pop-Culture Spectrum

Back when The O.C. was on the air all the comic work was drawn by Eric Wight who went on to draw other great things.   He also worked on animated version of the comic, called Atomic County.  I don’t know if it ever aired on TV but TheWB.com has it available now and can be seen from part 1 at the link above.

I was upset to discover that the next DLC for L.A Noire titled “Reefer Madness” is not inspired in any way by the original movie or much more awesome rock opera, but it still looks pretty cool and I already paid for it so I’ll be playing it anyways.

I’ve been loving Billboard’s Mash-Up Mondays for a long time and their most recent one is just killer, James Blunt covers Katy Perry’s “California Gurls”, and kills it, it really needs to be heard.  Proof that even if you hate the original, the song is much better than you realize if performed by someone else with a different style.

I’m surprised that other than the Hatchet films, a slasher about a huge freak killing people can get mainstream release or at least iTunes trailers presententation, but here it is… CREATURE.  Which has Sid Haig, so there you go… anything with Sid Haig, especially after The Devil’s Rejects is gold.

Mini Reviews of Movies (based off my bad movie theory)

Posted on 07/09/2011 by Pop-Culture Spectrum

Based off my theory that even the worst film must have some form of merit I started scanning Netflix for a few films and then wrote mini-reviews.  I’ll be only sharing three reviews here as this is a big project and one film I recently saw shot my theory dead in the water.  Still these three films have reviews written for them on a small sheet of paper, so I thought’d I share them.  These are three that actually had merit enough to get a Netflix or whatever you have viewing.   Be aware that one of those merits I expect in bad bad movies is good good nudity. So sit back and read and then watch!

MIRACLE BEACH: Full of Gratuitous nudity from random girls, it’s disappointing that the hottest girl in the film, Ami Dolenz is only in a bathing suit.  The plot is funny though and the camp is turned to 11.  Throw in Pat Morita, Martin Mull and an Alexis Arquette back when she looked & acted just like brother David and you get a good fantasy romantic 80’s comedy.   Dean Cameron is also fantastic as he always is.

VALET GIRLS:  The nudity factor was pretty non-eixtant which was a disappointment as the two female stars were super fine.  Yet this was actually a really good comedy.  The premise is clear, there are great characters, performances and awesome synth pop rock music.

Highlights includes popular dwarf actor Tony Cox as music manager, Kenny Sacha (a very popular female impersonator, mostly of Bette Midler, who passed away in 92 from complications of AIDS) as the super annoying and over pushy screen writer and a wordless, but unmistable Ron Jeremy as a regular guest at the parties.

CRASH COURSE: This Made for TV 80’s film has some atrocious writing, impossible plots and super stereotypical characters, yet it is super fun.  From B.D. Wong’s rapping to teenage Alyssa Milano in a leotard there’s just enough here to stick with it.  Plus Jackée Harry is actually hawt in this.

You just HAVE to see the B.D. Wong rapping though!  Alyssa Milano really gets into it too.  Here’s my filmed from a TV video!

Personal Movie Memories (from my working days)

Posted on 07/09/2011 by Pop-Culture Spectrum

I recently came across my old acting resume which stops right about when I started at City-As-School around 16 years old. I thought it’d be interesting to look over it and share whatever fuzzy memories I have.

The first film I recall working on which is amazingly not on this resume is CHINA GIRL. This was a David Caruso feature filmed in Little Italy. It was a twist on the Romeo & Juliet tale if I recall. All I remember is Caruso being very rude to everyone around him and difficult to work with, forcing constant unnecessary takes, which meant poor little me sat around for hours on end. It paid well though. My first pay stub says I made $104 after taxes for one days work.

Let us move to the resume, staring from the bottom up in order of film productions. This is just the film work, not the television, commercial or stage work, which would unload too much memories and information. I have noticed that a few films I have fairly vivid memories as well as photographic evidence of working on didn’t make this old resume, but as I remember them I’ll be listing them.

ENEMIES, A LOVE STORY: I think this was filmed in Brighton Beach or somewhere along Coney Island. I recall being crazy enough to jump into frigid cold water, as they were filming a beach scene in Winter. I became an honorary member of the polar bear club. I believe you can see me in the opening scenes if you freeze frame. My mom loved this film which had nothing to do with me being in it, it just featured subject matter which fascinated her. I wish my memories were either more vivid or I knew more about how to approach the actor’s on the set back then. Angelica Huston and Ron Silver would be some great memories to have. This film is really dramatic, telling a compelling story of romance, infidelity, corruption, lies and mysterious twists. I haven’t seen it as an adult and I think now would be a great time to do so.

A KISS BEFORE DYING: I honestly don’t recall working on this film. I’m guessing it was pick-up and secondary shots since the majority of the film was done in England. Meeting Matt Dillon would’ve been awesome. This is a pretty f’ed up movie, all about a stuck-up rich kid willing to murder to keep his livelivhood and then to be sick enough to try and replace that murder with a twin. It’s a bit perverted. It was also quite a good thriller.

LINE OF DUTY aka U.S. Marshalls:Waco & Rhinehart:  I don’t recall on this television movie either.  I do remember the scenes I did being in a school and that I wore the most horrible tie-dye shirt and stupid cap.  I really only remember that because I have a photo that says I did.   If this photo didn’t exist I would probably just leave this one off completely, but this photo should be seen.

Me around 10 years old on a movie set wearing a yellow tie dye shirt

MO’ BETTER BLUES: I remember being on set dressed in 60’s era clothes and hanging out with Wesley Snipes. Maybe it was Denzel Washington. It was more than 20 years ago. I just know it was one of the stars of the flick and he was being yelled at by Spike Lee. Over 20 years after Spike Lee would be yelling at me. This was back when Spike was still making some really good films. Sometime after Crooklyn he started to falter, but Daze, Thing, Blues, Fever and Crooklyn are all fantastic films worth seeing more than once.

SEA OF LOVE: I was supposed to be a student at some private Catholic school. It was an outdoor scene next to a church and we were all wearing the same t-shirt. Al Pacino came out of his trailer and made an effort to ignore everyone. I’m not sure if he just didn’t want to work on this film, hated fellow actors, hated kids, or what, but this wasn’t just an avoidance or a simple “leave me alone” stance, it was a very much “I’ll kill you”. Although I found it funny that even at 11 or so he wasn’t much taller than me. I have total respect for the man though, he’s not a great actor, but he takes all his roles with fervor and brings a movie alive.

THE LEMON SISTERS: This is one of those movies where you can’t deny my work on it because my face gets a full on close up with a few other kids. We filmed a flashback sequence where we’re all making fun of of the characters bringing in her teeth collection (or something like that ) for show and tell. We got used in some background footage for the boardwalk scenes as well, but I don’t think we ever had an opportunity to even see any of the stars or even meet the director as all are scenes were shot my team 2 I believe. Still, it’s nice knowing I got real screen time.

MORTAL THOUGHTS: This was quite the experience. The shoot was done at an amusement park in New Jersey over a few days. My dad even got to work on this one and my mom was on set as well. Her major memory from the set is watching Bruce Willis jump back and forth from two trucks trying to get this one stunt right for almost two hours, for something that took up maybe 20 seconds of screen time, but the man was a workhorse and probably still is. I remember meeting this cute blonde chick and the two of us sneaking off to neck. My big scene was to be on a rollercoaster type ride in the background while Bruce and Demi Moore’s characters got into a fight. This was the only film the couple were in together and Demi had given birth not that long ago. I had gotten quite nauseous on this ride for some strange reason, so I was given a much better job instead, I became Rumer’s babysitter for a couple hours while they filmed.

We have more than five movies to go on this list of memories, so I think this is a great place to stop. A Part 2 will definitely be forthcoming.

On The Merit Of “Bad” Films/Movies

Posted on 06/24/2011 by Pop-Culture Spectrum

My buddy and fellow blogger Rich Watson borrowed my copy of the DVD of The Adventures of Ford Fairlane for a part of a blogathan where he was supposed to review a bad movie from a friend’s collection. I have a very vast collection, full of bad films, but I know that Ford Fairlane is up there in being considered one of the worse. I have many more. My collection has Hudson Hawk, the live action Thunderbirds, Agent Cody Banks 2, Stuck On You, Vibes and countless others. That only covers USA ground as well, I have a fair share of “bad” Japanese films, as well as bad Italian and other European films.

For the moment though lets get back to Ford Fairlane. In Rich’s blog post he describes it as such:
“like the class clown trying to get attention by making silly faces and impressions”

To that, I say… Exactly. See, I LOVE that dude. The Class Clown makes me smile. Not always. I mean in the background as I write this is the utterly horrible “The Suit” starring Jackie Chan, which only has the eye candy of Jennifer Love going for it. Chan is totally doing that class clown schtick though, even dragging James Brown in.

In many way Fairlane does the same, but for some reason, it makes me laugh. I like ADC’s schtick, always have. I like his nursery rhymes, I like his bada-bing, I like his never care attitude. He’s the orphan bastard child of Dennis Leary and Arthur Fonzarelli and I love him for that.

Yet, what I really think makes me enjoy the film is Maddie Corman in the role of Zuzu Petals. While she has yet to have another role like that, other than her minor role in Swingers, she is just pure adorableness. Between her and the irrefutably awesome Robert Englund there’s a the spark brought to the screen that make me smile even wider than for Dice Clay. Englund’s “Ello, Ello” is actually part of my personal vernacular even.

I still swear though I have movies in my collection that are way way way worse. I own them more from even some of the worse films in history have something in them, be it an unrealized concept not used anywhere else yet, or a special effect or that great undiscovered actress, or well a lot of things that give it merit… of some kind.

Now I will admit as a viewer I am much more cult than the average viewer. Of course I can’t be too cult, as these bad movies would not get special edition DVDs and blu-rays. There’s a market out there and the filmmakers know it. Some truly bad movies have disappeared. I have certain on VHS that if they’ve come out on DVD it hasn’t been a real product from a legitimacy company from negatives, but some junk Korean company which can make 5000 DVD-R burns off of a beat up VHS tape for 3 pennies. The kind of bullcrap one can buy off the street when they buy those “filmed in the theater” bootlegs of movies currently out, but almost actually worse.

One of my favorite bad films is Rockula. The fact that this movie can even be seen by anyone is a miracle as it never came out in theaters. It was before the days of direct to video. It’s a pure 80’s comedy musical farce and the distributor went bankrupt right before the film was supposed to come out. The only reel I believe was found in some European country. That reel has survived and first came to VHS and is now finally available on Netflix. It will never ever be on DVD I’m betting. It deserves to be though. It’s pure camp, it has Dean Cameron and Tawny Fere, it has some amazing special effects and it’s a true document of its time. It has 100s of fans. Maybe even 1000s… maybe 989 fans? All I know is its a bad movie, but man, it has lots of merit.

At least that’s how I see things.

The Oz Historian

Posted on 06/23/2011 by Pop-Culture Spectrum

One of the cooler comics that I’ve been getting was published by SLG/Amaze Ink, Dan Vado’s company. It was called The Royal Historian of Oz and it was written by Tommy Kovac who had previously written the fantastic Wonderland story drawn by Sonny Liew also published by SLG and was drawn by Andy Hirsch in his first “mainstream comics” gig and here’s hoping he gets more.

I was truly loving this mini series with 4 issues in the pot, Issue 5 would’ve been printed and shipped this month (June 2011), but sadly the preorders were only 800. Dan Vado surmises that people must be trade waiting or at least he hopes this, as do I.

Royal Historian of Oz is a great story, up there with anything Eric Shanower has done prior to his current OZ adaptations with Skottie Young.

Issue 5 is available though, as a DRM-free PDF file for only 1 buck.

I already picked it up because I wanted to see the conclusion. You can either wait for the trade or pick up the entire series in mobile formats. It’s worth it.

Things That Are Awesome

Posted on 06/23/2011 by Pop-Culture Spectrum

-The full length version of the Punky Brewster theme song aka “Everytime I Turn Around” written and performed by Gary Portnoy. He was offering it on his website, but I think since he got iTunes to carry it, he moved it there. It’s worth the $1 for something so obscure and yet awesome.

-While trying to remember where I found the theme song sitting on my computer I came across this fake opener for a fake 1980’s TV show. I can’t seem to find much info about it, but it seems it was a wedding gift from writer/producer Chris McKenna to his bethrored writer/producer Sally Bradford (or at least that’s what I THINK from what I can discern). He tried making a theme song that sounds like something Portnoy would write and it looks like a show that would exist back when. Actually it looks like if Punky Brewster ended up with a single Black Man and his nerdy, fat son (or more, what if Punky Brewster found Cleveland Brown before he moved out of Rhode Island, but after his wife died). He called it “That’s Corky!”

–Franklin & Bash continues to rock as it comes into its third episode. Mark-Paul Gosselear and Breckin Myer match up so well together and the writing is just superb. I’m still hoping that if the show lasts long enough we get a special episode where they confront Macauley Culkin and Seth Green.

– I tried out two drinks on Tuesday when we passed a gourmet/special indie food item store in Williamsburg. Both were amazing. One was Fentiman’s Curiosity Cola, which seems to been around forever, but was new to me. Another was Beyond Kombucha, which is based in Queens. There’s another Kombucha company in NYC and I actually like them a bit better, but I can’t find the website. They can be found at Smorgasburg on Saturday’s and at Fulton Stall Market on the South Sea Streetport on Sunday’s.

Looking at Trailers of Movies Coming Soon

Posted on 06/20/2011 by Pop-Culture Spectrum

Abduction: Taylor Lautner’s first lead role shows him in what looks to be a pretty good action-adventure film that will work for his already established teeny-bopper and teen fans and propel him into being up there with say a Shia Lebeouf or something like that. Taylor looks like he might’ve returned to his former world champion Martial Arts skills here as well. I’m also pretty curious to see what John Singleton did with something completely out of his comfort zone, especially from a script for the lead singer of stellastar*, who finally has one of his purchased scripts actually turned into film.

The Adventures of Tintin : The trailer truly doesn’t shown off much of what Steven Spielberg’s long wanted project will truly be like, but it definitely gives a feel for the motion capture animation and that there’s a fun intesity one would expect. I’m really curious to see what a Stephen Moffat script reworked by Edgar Wright and directed by Steven Spielberg with production from Peter Jackson using technology devised by Robert Zemekis and James Cameron shall end up being like that. It could be as bad as say A.I., Indiana Jones 4 and War of the Worlds or it could finally be the feather Spielberg needs back in his cap.

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo: I must admit the original books do not excite me as most other people. I also didn’t really enjoy the original translation other than the awesomeness of Noomi Rapace. Despite all that this trailer truly excited me. This is pure Fincher based on the trailer. This is the David Fincher who made Se7en, Fight Club, Panic Room and Zodiac, instead of the one who made Benjamin Button and/or Social Network. I’m assuming there’s a pretty strong adaptation here as well, as the screen writer is accomplished. Although I have a feeling that won’t be what I’m enjoying in this film, it’ll be much more about performances, set pieces, editing and camera work.

Dont Be Afraid of the Dark: I am/was a huge fan of Troy Nixey’s comic work, especially his two “children’s” books with Andrew Cosby. I am less familiar with the short film that brought Troy to Del Toro’s attention and I am even less familiar with the original TV movie tis film is a remake of. The idea of Troy Nixey on a Guillermo produced horror film about a haunted mansion is enough for me to go on. Those two minds together are compelling and the trailer is a good seller.

Spy Kids 4-All The Time In The World: Honestly after Spy Kids 3 and the awesomesauce of Sly Stallone I really don’t see the point of this film, BUT any excuse to get Alexa Vega in something skin tight again is good enough for me. It seems from the trailer the Spy Kids moniker will be in place and we’ll get more of thsese new kids, but there seems to be plenty of Jessica Alba as well. Rodriguez with each of the Kids films has definietly made an attempt to make a kids film that the parents can sit through and enjoy, so I’m predicting he’s done the same here. Also, Alexa Vega in skin tight outfit. I’d probably be less excited about this if Darryn Soussman’s Mother’s Day in which Alexa plays a hooker was made easily available to see in America, but it’s not so… oh also, Ricky Gervais as the voice of the spy dog and Jeremy Piven as the bad guy definietely edge of the cool quotient.

Moneyball: I hate sports, but I love dramatic sports films. Hoosiers, Any Given Sunday, Bull Durham. There’s been a lack of baseball films based on real events, but there has been Cobb, 61, etc. Moneyball seems to be much more about backroom drama than baseball as it should be. There’s an amazing cast here on top of Brad Pitt. Although I’m quite ambivalent about Jonah Hill and the trailer doesn’t help there. From a drama standpoint it seems comeplleing, even if I really don’t care about the subject matter. It should have some amazing dialogue with an Aaron Sorkin rewrite and I’m very curious to see Bennett Miller’s return to film so long after his brilliant Capote. That film proved he definitely knows how to take a boring iceberg salad and make it tasty with handmade croutons and dressing.

The Hobbit: I really don’t have much to say about this one. I’m glad to see it happening after its production hell and this isn’t actually a trailer, but a production blog. These are always fascinating and you can at least see Jackson as excited about this as he has been with everything else he’s done.

30 Minutes of Less: This is quite an interesting follow-up for the director of Zombieland. It’s an oddball comedy starring three of the funniest dudes in the world and… Jesse Eisenberg. The trailer definitely got me interested for something that looks totally stupid. The kind of movie you hope to find at 11 PM on HBO/Showtime when you don’t know what to watch and you’re stoned.

The Change-Up: The writers of Ghosts of Girlfriend’s Past and The Hangover teamed with the director of Wedding Crashers and Fred Claus sounds like the possibility for something funny, yet retarded. The trailer is both… there’s lame piss & shit jokes and it’s a retread on the Vice Versa/Freaky Friday/Like Father, Like Son motif, but it does look fun. It’s kind of hard to not be fun with Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman as your stars though, but seriously, there’s way too many piss & shit jokes and those are just not funny.

Abraham Lincoln-Vampire Hunter: I haven’t read this book, and not sure if I want to, but with Tibur Bekmambetov at the helm it could be awesome. Man knows vampires and he knows action. I can only hope the films ends up as good as the trailer for the book.

Trevor Murdoch interview on Pitch.com

Posted on 06/16/2011 by Pop-Culture Spectrum

I’ve been a fan of Trevor Murdoch since I first saw him in his earliest role of Trevor Rhodes through the internet.  His WWE tag run with Lance Cade was fantastic and while this interview has him state he felt he ignored the entertainment side during his last WWE run, I disagree, his singing gimmick was great and WWE creative dropped the ball, not him.  He had a very short run in TNA as Jethro Holliday, where they didn’t used him as just another body more than anything.

I’m quite happy to see what he can do on a second WWE run, be it in singles or as the tag partner of someone again.

This interview he just did with Pitch.com is really good.
