Hi Duncan, henry V is a great movie. I enjoy Branagh's Shakespeare productions (except for Hamlet) and my mom thinks I look like him (I say he looks like me). Here's my comparison list: Favorite TV show: Northern Exposure Favorite Sport: baseball What's in my CD Player right now: Miles Davis 'Kind of Blue' What's in my DVD Player right now: Monty Python episode 33 Favorite book at this moment: Haruki Murakami's _Wind-up Bird Chronicle_ | ||

Duncan- You say you are an actor. Are you in movies, TV, live shows? I also like b-ball, though without the cabletv stations watch very little. Long suffering Mets fan. Casablanca is a good movie, the dialog that comes from a good screenplay makes it so. I once heard Ronald Reagan was offered Rick's part. | ||

"Are you in movies, TV, live shows?" Mostly I do plays. Many this year actually. In Morristown, Long Branch, Madison, and NYC. Just started working on a film I wrote that we will shoot this fall in Vermont. So I will do most anything that offers itself. | ||

Been a while and so I will update my own world here. Now in my CD Player is Martin Sexton's Wonderbar album. Fantastic disc. That man is one of the most unselfconscious singers I have ever heard. Just wrapped my first film (as producer/director), a short. Looking for the next project as long as I have the insurance in place until early next fall. May as well parse out the cost of it over two budgets. Reading all things Wallace Stegner. That is all. For Now. | ||

duncanrogers: I of course don't really work in the food business. I was just playing the part of someone who works in the food business. Lynard Skynard is in my CD Player.. We've never met, but I've only heard nice things about you. My posts are meant to stir up the pot and hopefully get a laugh...Sometimes I go to far. Anyway,  !!! | ||

Hm. Don't fishermen fit into your entitlement thing, as they think it's cool to eat fishies? Anyhoo, I'm an actor too! I have mostly done plays as well (last was The Vagina Monologues)and am trying to "break into the buisness." Hm, my favorite TV shows are Saturday Night Live, M*A*S*H, & Sesame Street (pre-Elmo). Movies? Hm. Well, M*A*S*H, Spaceballs, A Hard Day's Night, Help! - anything Beatles. I've been listening to a tremendous amount of Blues (Chicago & Stax-Volt)lately. I'm currently reading "Samurai Widow" by Judith Jacklin. It says your last post was in 2002, Duncan Rogers, but I don't know, maybe you still check this =) | ||

Yea..I havent checked in here, mostly cause its like talking to your self. Some changes to the initial post.. The West Wing can no longer rank. The dismissal of Tommy Schlamme and Aaron Sorkin does not bode well. Whats in my CD player right now..Peter Gabriel's SO Whats in my DVD...SHREK (i have a 2 1/2 year old) Coming to the slow and ultimatly healthy realization that reading anything in "the soapbox" basically ruins my day. It is like a nasty drug though and a hard habit to break. But I notice that on days when I dont bother with it, I am generally in a better mood. All that vindictive, accusatory, condescending stuff. UGH> Two more weeks of the current play then????? | ||
| flugermongers Citizen Username: Flugermongers Post Number: 25 Registered: 5-2001 |
I never really watched The West Wing, but I do like Aaron Sorkin. What's bad about the soapbox? Before today, I had not signed on since like, 2001. After the play? Do you have another job? Maybe that company will be doing another show? | ||

The Bickford shuts down for the summer. Thats where I am now. I am auditioning today for a show up in Bennington Vt that would start immediately after Smoke and Mirrors closes. So that would be cool. As for the soapbox, just go swim through there for a while and you will see that a bulletin board allows people to say things to each other that they would never say to that persons face | ||

Ah, I see. I have a friend who went to school up there. From what I hear, it's amazing. Yeah, well people always have more of an attitude when they hide behind their computer screen. Sometimes it is a good thing, because more submissive people can stand up for themselves, but a lot of times it is bad, because power hungry dumb***es can spread their *ickyness*. Gosh, I'm so articulate. :P | ||

One month away from shooting my second short film. Happy to say that MOL'er Notehead is going to help out as composer of the score! So this BB has proven good for something other than transient entertainment. Premiering the first film next weekend in Greensboro Vermont. Projecting it on the side of a barn. How bloody rustic. I actually love the idea. All I need is for folks to show up on horseback. In CD player now..John Mayal In DVD player now..Oh Brother Where Art Thou? Reading. Sight Unseen See ya later!~ | ||

Starting rehearsals at the end of APril for You Know I Can't Hear You When The Water Is Running in Morristown at the Bickford, my theatrical home away from home. The Reader moves along in post-production FINALLY. New script ideas are welcome and encouraged. My DP has acquired a DVX1000 24p DV camera and so we may actually shoot on tape next time out instead of that pesky film ;-) Thats all for now "The truth is always a compound of two half- truths, and you never reach it, because there is always something more to say."-- Tom Stoppard | ||

Script idea: Naif young man moves into the ideal-looking town onlyto discover that the town has been divided into warring camps as a result of recently botched political action taken by the town administration. Naif young man discovers the town's internet chat site and uses it to bring the town together by encouraging anonymous discussion of the issues which tore the town apart. Film ends with the town re-united. Note to Nohero: This needn't be about reval! | ||
| Duncan Real Name Username: Duncanrogers Post Number: 1699 Registered: 12-2001 |
Joan..clearly not about the reval but about the ordinance that was enacted after the completion of the film One True Thing that makes it ALL BUT IMPOSSIBLE for a small company like mine to shoot anywhere in town. A knee jerk, childish ordinance that every entertainment lawyer I showed it too laughed at. Most of them saying well that will make sure no one ever shoots in that town again, if it stays put. Sad but true. |
