The only real impediment to there being a summer noshame is trhat no one has done anything
about it.  I think one of the board members should get on it, since they supposedly know more
about how the whole space issue works.  Otherwise, I'll just have to do it myself.  And you don't
even know who I am, so what reason do you have to trust me, huh?              -Secretively yours,    
     Mr. Myster?

Let's do it! There seems to be a general feeling of desire, so 
let's get our ballz to the wall. If you're truly interested, 
email me, and I'll get everyone's address together and we'll 
call a meeting. If not enough people email me, we won't do it, 
and it's that simple. So drop me a line at

not suck as a Summer No Shame date.  Any thoughts before we

Yes, we could discuss it here...but I'd rather do it in person. 
Besides, what's the problem with people who call each other 
friends getting together in a public place to talk about things 
of mutual interest? If you'd like to conduct conversations over 
the computer, it's all good. I just wanted to do it in person. 
Maybe spend time with people I like. You don't have to go if you

Actually, regardless of the value of socializing in person and the 
choice of real-world vs. electronic venues for the discussion of 
performance venues, last I heard Theatre B will be available.  So 
it's probably just a matter of getting the word out so there will 
be people to see the show.

Chris, is there a venue you're thinking of? Because I don't know 
if we'd have to pay for B or not...they might be rehearsing one 
of the Edwald Arbee plays at that time...

Any thought given to maybe doing it outside, like old school No 
Shame? Maybe make an event out of it, have food and drink and 
stuff...since it is summer, make it a real Summer No Shame, 
instead of No Shame in the summer. Just a thought.

I'd love to help out with publicity, but I'm in Chicago until 
Wednesday or Thursday finalizng my internship and going to a

I don't know why I felt the need to share this with any of you, 
but I did, so here you go.
I had previously convinced myself that what makes a movie good 
is the acting and the script and the music and the effects and 
the editing and all the other things that have categories at the 
Oscars.  I believed that a movie could not be better simply 
because a particular actor is really fucking hot.  Tom Cruise 
has changed my mind.  Damn!  I will most certainly have pleasant 
dreams tonight.  Mmmmmmm.........

:I had previously convinced myself that what makes a movie good 
:is the acting and the script and the music and the effects and 
:the editing

       Which doesn't do shit for movies with no acting (even 
though you will see fewer films more moving than "Stop Making 
Sense," which is a Talking Heads concert film, and hasn't any 
acting proper), scripts (though John Cassavettes' "Shadows" is 
improvised... and breathtaking), music (Tod Browning's "Dracula" 
has, variously, no music and hideous music, and is beautiful) or 
effects ("Psycho" is the best thing ever produced in Hollywood, 
but the special effects are silly).
        Nor does your thesis account for the astonishing-ness of 
"Gumby: The Movie," Art Clokey's 1995 masterpiece, in which the 
"acting" is stilted to nonexant, the script is ripe with lines 
like "I found a robot that makes soup!" and the music is ghastly, 
though the packaged whole is the GREATEST FILM OF THE LAST TEN 
YEARS.

:I believed that a movie could not be better simply because a 
:particular actor is really fucking hot.

        I work at a store that sells pornography.  The "movies" 
there are improvements on one another based ONLY and ENTIRELY on 
how hot the actors are.

:Tom Cruise has changed my mind.

       Tom Cruise's teeth are scary, and his eyes are too close 
together, and his eyebrow is gross.  In addition, his forehead 
vein pops out also grossly when he is Emoting.  It is a science 
fact that Tom Cruise is actually weird or ugly looking.

I've actually gained a lot of respect for Tom Cruise, since his 
stints in Eyes Wide Shut and Magnolia. Yeah, he was pretty much 
playing one note, but he did it well, and I enjoyed it. 

Now, Nic Cage...there's an actor who deserves to be dumped into 
the North Sea. His idea of "acting" is to tug at his forehead and 
move his hands quickly. After winning an Oscar he hasn't done one 
role that offered more of a challenge than not being shot by a 
stunt pistol or falling off a cliff or being run over. So he's 
basically a stand in for a stunt man, which is more than I can 
say for Mr. Cruise. Though I have yet to see MI 2.

ps. For all you John Woo fans out there, rent Hard Boiled or the 
Killer. Two of the best action films I've ever seen. And I've 
seen a lot.

   I do, now, remember the scene where Tom Cruise said, "I am now 
the last of the Mohicans," but, to be honest, at the time I 
didn't associate it with the movie or the book.  
   And, now that I have associated the two, I'm still not sure 
you've got a valid point there, Egg.  I think you might be 
overanalyzing things just a wee bit.  For instance when, at the 
end of "Mrs. Doubtfire," Robin Williams says to the camera, "Well 
this surely has been The Odyssey by Homer," you have to realize 
that it's just a figure of speech, much like you or I might say, 
"Man, that baby sure went flying," when what we mean is that 
we've just thrown a baby at a pregnant teenager.  Robin Williams 
wasn't wrong for saying that.  Nor was Tom Cruise, nor were you, 
Adam Hahn wrong, when you, Adam Hahn, threw that baby at that 
teenage mother to be.  Now, it wasn't me who threw it, I swear to 
God, but, were i the one to have thrown it, neither would I be 
wrong.
   And furthermore, I hate Americans!
   Which brings me to my point!  Why is it so difficult to find 
good fast food in this town?  I mean, come on!

MALKMUS HANDSOM HANSEN SAYS:

:Please see Raising Arizona and/or Valley Girl

CHECK OUT WHAT I SAY:
1) N. Cage has intentionally been taking roles in action pictures 
instead of goofy, unpopular comedies, his explanation being that 
he wants his work to reach a wider audience.  Which is 
understandable if dubious.

2) N. Cage has been turning in acceptable-to-admirable 
performances in these action films, though the films themselves 
have been abysmal ("ConAir") to fun (duh, "Face/Off").

3) Yes, Mark, "Raising Arizona" is the best movie featuring the 
talents of N. Cage, but for my N. Cage dollar (which is 
startlingly similar to a regular G. Washington dollar) is a toss-
up between "Vampire's Kiss," in which N. Cage eats a real 
cucaracha and does a transcendent two-hour freak-out, and "Peggy 
Sue Got Married," in which N. Cage intentionally imitates the 
voice Art Clokey uses for Pokey, the orange clay pony of "Gumby 
Adventures" fame.

4) God smiles on anyone drawing on Pokey as inspiration for 
performance in a Coppola movie.

I'm more digusted with Mr. Cage's choice of films than his 
acting, because the films he's been doing for the past few years 
don't allow him to take the kinds of acting risks an actor of his 
status could/should be taking. I feel the same about Harrison 
Ford, who won't take small but meaty and challenging roles in 
ensemble films (ie Cruise in Magnolia), instead appearing in 
poorly written, ill concieved star vehicles (ie 6 Days 7 Nights, 
Random Hearts etc).

    Well I'll tell you: Nichalus "Cage" plays a action hero. What 
a performance! He was exciting to see. He also has a cameo as 
well in "Lumpy Jones" where he may play a horse.

is widely refered to as "Chen-Chen" by famous movie actors.
