Well, good news for my brother. An agency got Nick an audition for the new Batman movie (The Dark Knight) this Saturday. He received his scene and last night I rehearsed it with him. Wish him luck.
He and Sachiko are down in Eureka now. I’m debating on whether to go up there tomorrow night (that is to say, today, Friday night), meet them, party with the Eureka crowd, and then drive up with Nick to his audition (lessening any possibilities of car trouble or other hazards keeping him from getting to Batmania).
Earlier this week, Nick took a big screen and a projector from work, we had some folks over, and bundled in coats and blankets, we enjoyed the relatively warmer night by setting up our own outdoor theater in the backyard. We watched Serenity, wind jostling the screen, us facing the forest, with the occasional yip of a coyote in the background. It was pretty sweet and I think we’re going to make a tradition of this in the coming spring.
SO COME ON DOWN TO THE DOETSCH BROTHERS’ OUTDOOR THEATER.
I’m trying to write a treatment/proposal for a graphic novel (I’m figuring out the logistics of a haunted Tommy-Gun)…but I’m tired and I think I’ll try and sleep.
Oh . . . yeah, I found out the surprise ending to Lost . . . the island is really a booger in Howard Hughes’ nose. There! I ruined it for all you fans. HA!

good choice in the movie… serenity is freaking awesome…

Yeah, I’ve always liked it. Good series too (Firefly). Too good to be on TV . . . so the entertainment gods canceled it.

Awesome for Nick.
Just so you know, all the cool Eureka people (well, a good chunk of them, at least) will be in Joliet at the ELL conference. BOO ELL!
Later.
What is this horrid ELL you speak of?
The English Literature and Language conference. Doc makes people go in a shamless ploy to show off how many eureka students can go. unfortunately, we run into that quantity versus quality thing. ask me and i’ll tell you about it later.
personally, i think i sucked. oh well. i’m not a good public speaker when i’m sober. i knew i shouldn’t have been sober…but i tried anyways. stupid, stupid me.

80’s party you say? Hmmmm…mayhaps I will.
Alright….you talked me into it. I should be in Eureka before 10.

Sorry I won’t be able to see you while you’re down here. But I’ll have a Captain and Coke for you in Joliet!
Did you know that if you drink three Captain and Cokes and say my name each time, I’ll appear?
Dang it, I didn’t get that memo until I got back! Maybe I shall try tonight…
Wait . . . let me fix my hair . . . alright . . . all set . . . go!

Did you change the spelling of a certain last name that you should know how to spell? I could have sworn that when I read this before it was spelled incorrectly, but I didn’t have time to make fun of you.

Hi!
I sort of stumbled across this entry on Google Blog search and firstly – congrats so much to Nick! I really hope he gets the part. 😀
However, I was wondering – what was the scene you guys rehearsed actually like? What happens? Any details would be awesome – I understand completely if you don’t want to share them, though. And I apologise for sort of barging onto your LJ like this, but I’m a huge Bat-fan and was curious.
Again, sorry if this was out of order.
Hey, nothing out of order at all. I’m a huge batman fan too . . . and I’m pretty much a public whore with my blog (I don’t think I’ve ever locked a single entry).
As for the scene . . . it was actually pretty vague (even for those of us reading it) and doesn’t give much info on the movie (it’s really just a piece of a scene). A couple of criminals about to pull a bank job are arguing about cuts and shares and one guy pulls a gun on the character my bro is reading for. We suspect that the guy pulling the gun is either a henchman of the Joker . . . or the Joker himself, in disguise. But it’s fairly vague, plotwise . . . and who knows what scenes will make it into the finished product.

Always nice to meet another Bat-fan *waves*. 😀

Given how little everyone knows about TDK, this is still interesting info. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply – you are awesome. 🙂
On second thought, our theory was off. There was another guy auditioning for the other criminal . . . so he was not likely the Joker.
Ah, I see. 🙂
How’d the audition go, if I may be so nosy? 😉
Hard to say. It went realy quickly. That could be good or bad.
