I think we have ourselves a leading man for the Gentlemen Prefer Wigs movie! Now I just need to find him a Rich Lady. There are basically two candidates at this point -- one isn't really an actress but she's someone I know who looks suitable, and knows how to do a New England accent (which is close to an 18th century British accent.)...

Bringing up my old Sweeney Todd research made me think again I should try to get those discoveries I made out to the world, because no one else even two years later seems to have picked up on them. Thank heavens for Google Sites! Here is the page where I posted everything:

I got a review! The Duchess of Devonshire's Gossip Blog featured my version of Fanny Hill.
Meanwhile, I've got a question for any fluent French speakers or historians who know a bit. I'm trying to uncover the origins of Four Thieves Vinegar, and a few sources claim there's some records of the "parliament of Toulouse" that confirm the story about four thieves during the plague...

I could be wrong, but I think your query might be a bit esoteric for this site. Just by stepping out of this year, much less stepping several centuries back, you've lost most of your audience. Yes, that's right, I took the risk and successfully sounded like a pretentious ass. Hopefully I am wrong and someone will be able to help you. But until then, just remember: You want erotic, not esoteric. Well...or a combination of the two....

Indeed, because people on this site know nothing but porn. Porn and interviews with Chuck Palahniuk.
Was on Fark.com and saw a headline about how only 1 in 7 women is a virgin on her wedding night (frankly I'm surprised the numbers are that high. Shit, these days it seems most women have almost 7 husbands in a lifetime and clearly they can't be virgins for all of them, that alone would skew the results.)
Anyway, it caused me to recall...

Decided to audition the remaining boys who sent in resumes and headshots for my film; so I wrote to them and asked each of them to prepare a comic "inept minuet" to do at the audition and to write back with how long they except it'll take to choreograph, at which point I'll arrange a suitable time to audition them. Only one guy wrote back,...

You have a timeless face, thanks for your response to my post as well...
Still not happy with the state of trying to make my short movie. I have a new bunch of actors to audition but I don't really feel like it's even worth it. Maybe I should just give someone the part and spare the trouble; there's only one guy who has got a resume suggesting he can do what I need anyway.
Or maybe I should...

My movie needs a man about 20 years old -- I keep being submitted men about 40.
My movie needs a woman about 40 years old -- I keep being submitted women about 20.
And it's not a typo in the casting call this time around! Why, then, is this?

you know if it wasn't logistically impossible I'd put myself forward. I can flail about like an aristocratic fool with the best of them, and look nice in tights.
Had some kind of dream in which the Gulf Oil leak and my search for actors got combined, I think it was something about an endless flow of bad actors, or using bad actors to plug the leak.
I posted on the New Mexico Film website my newly edited casting call in hopes it might bring some fresh prospects. Unfortunately, all it's achieving so far is the resubmission of the same people I didn't want the first time around. I wonder if they'd still work if I took money out of the equation -- I wouldn't pay these people to be in my...

Columns? I've never seen it do that but you can turn off Rich Text and turn on Plain Text and it won't do anything but give you a giant piece of paper. I use a little freeware idea/writing program called Idea Knot. It's not the most powerful thing in the world but I like it.

You can acquire Word for Mac easily enough 
It being already Wednesday, and the fellow I wanted to call back still not having confirmed he can make it to an audition Saturday, I've decided to cancel the Saturday film auditions altogether.
I am going to try reposting the casting calls, with more specific wording, to see if I can get some better people. We got way too many people from Albuquerque who can't...

You know... a black rasta man in period clothes could really turn the mood of the piece on its head.

There is almost a movie in the making in the making of this movie. 
An impromptu poem someone wrote on a message board while watching live BP Underwater Camera footage:
Big eel swimming by. Big eel please don't die.
Big eel by the oil. Big eel avoid the boil.
Big eel scales so white. Big eel in the eerie light.
Big eel swim away. Big eel live another day.
Linguistically not great but I actually sort of like it.

Went through my SG Friends and deleted anyone whose main purpose just seemed to be to post long strings of naked pictures and then direct everyone to go vote on them. I know lots of people join SG because they enjoy naked pictures: I am not one of them. I'm here because I heard about the site and potential $500 sounded really good to me...

To be fair, only a VERY marginal percentage of the naked on here is any good anyway.
I basically bought a blog. With the odd boob every now and then.

Honestly, yes, I did join for the naked pictures, but at this point I've generally lost interest in those. There are an awful lot of interesting people around these parts. Plus, this place has the advantage of being quite private. Like I said a few blogs back, it's nice to know I could pretty safely say things around here that I could not elsewhere.
But I'll just have to see how long this place stays interesting. I can see scenarios where I am here for years... and I can see scenarios in which I am gone inside of a couple of months.

Good luck with everything- and rock the Jury Duty! Sounds like you are going in seriously armed.
Being all Commonwealthy and all.
WOO! for leading man!
