scottythecomic's whimsical rantings

5 meters distance This is the craziest thing I've seen in a long time. For those of you in the 21st century (e.g. blackberry owners), you'll need to look at this on a pc. You also have to get out of your seat and walk away from your computer. People may think you're crazy. But it's well worth it. When you look at this picture in a closer look you see its Albert Einstein. But if you stand15 feet away, It will become Marilyn Monroe.

The word is out that the male singer had been working as a male stripper for males in an Arizona club. 

How will this affect his fans when he sings?

Will he be voted off for his apparent gay affiliations?

Should American Idol thoroughly screen all contestants in the final Hollywood 50?

Should A.I. just leave the things alone and let the controversies and scandals draw more viewers?

AFI Dallas International Film Festival kicked off the festivities last evening with a special 40th anniversary screening of George Romero's "Night of the Living Dead.  The cold and wind and rain might have slowed the US mail, but several stars were out in force, albeit bundled up like a 3 DVD box set.

Attendees included:

Malcolm McDowell - "A Clockwork Orange" and "Sixth Sense."

Sharon Ceccatti, Ken Foree, Clayton Hill, Scott Reiniger and Tom savini from "Dawn of the Dead."

Anthiony Dileo, Greg Nicotero and Joe Pilato from "day of the Dead."

Pedro Miguel Arce, Jennifer Baxter, Eugene Clark and Robery Joy from "Land of the Dead."

Michelle Morgan and Shawn Roberts from "Diary of the Dead."

Courtney Gains, Danielle Harris, Kristina Klebe and Dee Wallace Stone from Rob Zombie's "Halloween."

Harvey Stephens from "The Omen."

Kelli Maroney from "The Night of the Comet."

Kathleen Kinmont from "Renegade."

Lynn Lowry from "Shivers" and "The Crazies."

Eileen Dietz from "The Exorcist."

After the red carpet interviews and some celebatory fun in the lounge, all moved to the theater to watch the black and white film that many believe birthed indie films - "The Night of the Living Dead."

Day 4 of the shoot  "Blood On the Highway" begins in one hour. Yesterday was a 22 hour day of scenes.  The movie has been going well and we are on budget and schedule thus far.

I spent some time with Xander from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and we shared a lot of laughs over the script. I uploaded a picture.

Today we are shooting some exteriors of the ranch house in Lancaster.  It looks to be another 16-20 hour day.

I will post some stills as soon as I am able. Additional photos and info as regards Extras is available on our MySpace page at Blood On The Highway.

As Jerry Springer says, "Y'all take care of yourselves...and one another."

...and I'm a Fox 4 blogaholic.

"Hi Scott!"

I first started blogging in April and quickly became addicted. At first it was just a blog here and there along with a few comments on others' blogs.

Then my affinity grew and I was constantly posting. And posting. And posting! And arguing my point and refuting that of others.

Along the way I made numerous friends and a few enemies, but we'd all share in a blog or three after work. But some of us were powerless to stop blogging.

I began to neglect my work and I'd even sneak a blog when my wife thought I was doing other things. I'd hide my laptop under the sink, in the closet and wherever I could access it for a quick blog.

But now by the grace of God I have realized I have a disease - blogaholism. Indeed, I have started a support group and encourage others to join me for meetings.

So please don't give up tonight when Fox shuts this blogging down. I am Scott M and there is hope.

Stop #2 for American Idol auditions began Saturday at 4am for crew as we awaited the throng that pressed against one another for a chance to clear their pipes. As of the end of the day Sunday we are anticipating a massive crowd bright and early Monday morning.

Contestants are scheduled to arrive between 5-6am. The forecast calls for hot temps and a fun-filled busy day. Can season 7's Idol come from Texas again, or will an "outsider" take the coveted crown months from now?

Stay tuned to Fox news for Idol updates and be sure to watch season 7 soon! Now its off to bed for me - I have a 4am call time.

She's at it again folks. Lindsay Lohan, despite being on probation for her previous DUI, was arrested again and booked into the LA County jail.  Ms Lohan was wearing a SCRAM (Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor) which ironically failed to detect her inebriated state.

The SCRAM device which she voluntarily wore, is supposed to detect alcohol in ones system 24 hours a day, 7 days a week . http://www.alcoholmonitoring.com/  It failed but the law caught her.

Look at her mugshot as released from the LA County Sheriff's Department here. http://www.tmz.com/

Police advised her BAC (blood alcohol content) level was .012, over the California legal limit of .010.  The officials at SCRAM were unaware of her drinking and arrest. Too, she was scheduled to tape a show with Jay Leno today.

It would appear that if she is convicted that she will join the inmates as did her mentor and associate, Paris Hilton.  If she is convicted, she would certainly deserve it as DUI is a violent crime.

I should have known perilous times would befall my vacation when I started eating yellow watermelon a few weeks ago. Call it what you will, coincidence or fate, but I accept all responsibility for the incessant rains this month. Send your complaints to my email and the Secretary...er, the Lady In the Water will reply as I dictate. 

Originally the spouse and I had plans for Cocoa Beach, Florida, and surroundings, that is until I found the kids were headed to Malta for a violin recital and dance competition.  I wish them well but dangit, they ruined my plan to catch the Firecracker 400 at Daytona on the cool.  "Oh, wow, honey - I didn't know NASCAR was in town this week!"  Ah, but they're good brats!

So seeing how the wife is a new LEGAL immigrant, I opted to show her the wide expanse that is the great state of Texas.  The first stop will be Austin where I will show her the Capitol Dome. You know what they say, "Keep Austin Weird."  Not much chance of that not happening what with the local politics, yeah?

The wife wants to see the Botanical Gardens in San Antonio (I've packed away a small sprayer of Ortho Weed Killer) but I want to ride the rising river at New Braunfels. She wants to see the Alamo, I want to see where the new battlefiled will be as regards sending illegals home. Wifey wants to visit Sea World and refuses to listen when I tell her we can save $200 and drive to the ocean. We're split like Britney and K-Fed.

I'm actually cool with whatever we do as long as a modicum of sun allows for it. To that end I have done my share to advance the notion of a sunny day, sniping 3 Indians rain dancing in Oklahoma and offering up countless prayers for the Lord to turn the heavenly sprinklers off.

We'll traverse the state and jumpstart the economy, reverse global cooling by heating things up with the conversion van, and wreak havoc on the fish population. The last thing to do is check the cooler...and I see that she's already packed some red watermelon. This may turn out to be great after all.

Ciao my friends!
