M, have i told you lately how much i love you?
I had an orgasm at about 2:00 when he imitates people's negative comments.
Well, a dead cat is integral to the story told by the play, but "dead-cat image"? Have I overlooked something?
^ Yes, you overlooked my orgasm. 
I am so hurt.
I am so hurt.
LOL, Randi! Let me just say that I was impressed by your orgasmic commentary and ashamed I didn't think of it myself.
M' I just meant the image I had in my mind when they were talking about it. I heard of it before in reference to this play, and my avatar is not amused!

Being generally pro-cat, I wouldn't ordinarily be amused, either, but that's kind of the nature of black comedy. There's something Coby Getzug said in the video* which gets at it pretty well:

Just found an article which addresses the rather extreme amount of clean-up required after each performance.

I also heard something on KUSC this morning (no idea right now how to find the audio clip) which had Chris Pine talking about the play. He said part of what the play was about was violence, but specifically about violence raised to the point of absurdity. He went on to say that getting the comedic timing just right on everything was crucial, because otherwise the subject matter would be way too heavy for the audience to want to deal with (or be able to deal with - I'm paraphrasing as best I can remember.)

Here's some news about "This Means War." I think it might turn out to be an interesting movie and I love the fact that Chris is doing a comedy.
Here's an interview with McG, the director:
McG: It looks like it, yeah. We’re prepping right now. We’ve got a September 13th start date. We just cast Tom Hardy, and Chris Pine is doing it and, of course, Reese [Witherspoon] is in the picture. We’re all set to go on September 13th, up in Vancouver and all over the world.
Why did you decide to cast Tom Hardy?
McG: I think he’s the most exciting young male star out there. I think he’s great in Inception. I loved him in Bronson. And, the fact that he’s from England is 10 extra bonus points. He’s been vetted out by Guy Ritchie and Matthew Vaughn.
What can you say about what the film is about?
McG: The film is effectively James Bond and Ethan Hunt both fall in love with Reese Witherspoon. They’re best friends and it naturally tests their friendship a great deal. And, who wins that fist fight, James Bond or Ethan Hunt? Who gets the girl, James Bond or Ethan Hunt? I don’t know. So, that’s the fun of the movie.
Are you currently set to make anything in 3-D?
McG: Yeah. The movie that I’m developing that may go next year, in conjunction with Spring Awakening, is going to be shot in 3-D, but I can’t talk about it yet. I don’t think This Means War is an appropriate picture to do in 3-D. It’s largely a comedy and I want to make sure that we service it. In tone, it’s an Ocean’s 11/Mr. & Mrs. Smith type of picture, so it didn’t seem like the picture for 3-D. But, I’ve been on top of those experimental systems and all the different camera systems and the idea of doing it in a post-production capacity and which one we like better. I’ve gone down to Real-D. It’s the power of the audience to give it a big thumbs up or thumbs down.
Went to see "The Lieutenant of Inishmore" again Tuesday night and the audience was great. They laughed and applauded and really got into the play. Standing ovation at the end. We waited by the back door of the Mark Taper and Chris eventually came out and autographed all our programs. It was wonderful. He looked tired and happy and was a real sweetie to everyone.
He recently said that he would like to do Broadway and a musical. Here's hoping he gets to do both some day.

Pam, THANK YOU SO MUCH for keeping us up to date!!!!!! I am so happy jealous for you that you got to see the show AGAIN!!!!! And you got to see him after the show!!!
OMG! If he does Broadway i will be so there in a heartbeat!!!!!
In watching the clip about the show, i was amazed by the guy who hangs upside down. How long IS he upside down for?

Randi, I think he said that he's upside down close to 12 minutes. Not sure about that but it's a long time. He has a rope hanging beside the one he's hanging on and he can pull himself up into a u shape if it gets too much. I don't know how he does it. The LA Times article M'Sharak posted the link to I think gives some information on what he does after his scene. Amazingly he said in an interview that he's afraid of heights. You should see how far up he is in the rafters when he's lowered down in the dark. Very scary.

There's definitely a shockingly hilarious amount of violence and gore. It is especially awesome and funny during one of the final scenes as the blackout is longer than most and the lights are turned back on to an amazing sight.
^ *sigh*
Movie looks kinda dumb. But it'll do.

I can't wait to see Pine as Jack Ryan. I think he'll do a good job.
Jeri! {{{squish}}}
We've been watching Six Feet Under (which i had never seen before, until now)...and we finally got to the Season Five episode that Chris is in. Of course, i had googled his scenes before, but i finally saw the entire episode. He was so damn cute in it!
