This week has been full of chatty news from some of the "Margin Call" stars and the Before The Door production team! We were so spoilt on Twitter!
After the news that Jeremy Irons had joined the cast, we received word that there was a scene where his character and that of Kevin Spacey's went "head to head". The entire cast was in the same room. OOOoooh. Intense!
Sean Akers also tweeted: "Jeremy Irons. Very nice guy. So impressive. It is like riding in the elevator with royalty. Watching him rehearse the next scene."
Do you love stories based in the fantasy realm and magic? Do you have a not-so-secret thing for mages? (Confession: I still have a crush on dark mage Raistlin Majere.)
Or do you simply love beautifully drawn comics with captivating storylines?
If yes to any of the above, then you should check out the first Before The Door and Archaia Comics collaboration - a comic series entitled "LUCID" written by HBO's popular TV series "True Blood" star Michael McMillian with illustrations by young Polish-based artist Anna Wieszczyk.
I have to admit - I am not an avid comic fan or collector. It is not that I do not like comics. Since I was a young child, I've mainly prioritized my time and yearnings towards books. Books are my soul's refuge.
This week has been chockful of "Margin Call" updates. Much to the delight of us fans!
For those who are still unaware, "Margin Call" is an indie movie about eight people during a tumultuous 24-hour period just prior to the 2008 Wall Street financial meltdown. It is Before the Door's first film production!
Zachary Quinto, who also stars in the movie, has been giving us pretty constant updates on Twitter and Facebook. And when I say pretty, I *do* mean pretty :D
Just look at the pic above. Zach's own self-portrait pic on the "Margin Call" set in a suit with a night reflection of the Empire State Building. Srsly! Those pretty biceps in a suit! It is pretty as pretty does!
(sings) Do you remember..... when we ...
*ahem* Pardon me for the Michael Jackson interlude there. As this year's San Diego Comic Con (SDCC) draws nearer, I have been reminiscing a bit lately on my previous convention-partying days. Lots of Good Times - with Fabulous Peeps. :D I will not regret any of the time and money spent for those very memorable adventures.
While having retro-thoughts, I am certain there are times when one remembers embarassing moments - especially those involving what-you-used-to-think-was-cool hairstyles or clothes.
The Rule of Three - where things seem to be funnier, more engaging and much more satisfying.
C'mon... you have got to know that.
There's the Three Little Pigs. The Three Amigos. The Three Musketeers. The Three Blind Mice. The Power of Three (remember Charmed?) and the ultimate ominpotence of the Holy Trinity. Just to list a few.
Talking about the last one... :- meaningful pause -: ... never mind, more on that later. *g*
So The Three Q's - the talented-funny Victor Quinaz, Philip Quinaz and Zachary Quinto - have now presented us with the humourously deadpan "BEFORE AFTER" which non-coincidentally, consists of Three Short Vignettes.
Curtains! Spotlights! Cue. Enter Stage.
The magic of theatre. I succumb.
And as most of us are well-aware, so does theatre-buff Zachary Quinto. Being in NYC and closer to Broadway, Zach seems to be taking in the theatre scene with relish!
He was spotted attending the opening of a brand new musical, "Bloodsong of Love" with pal Jesser Tyler Ferguson (Source: Theatermania). We also suspect his latest tweet was referring to a Broadway theatre play entitled "When The Rain Stops Falling". If you are curious what the play is about, check out The New York Times' review here.
...INTERACTIVE QUINTO!
Did the Twitter ZQ Fan-world get saved by a no-longer-internet-cautious super-villain-turned-hero? The epic event was as Sparkly as a ... (ok, I won't mention the V-word @eserei27 ....I promise!). Erm... where was I? Ahh.... yes. As Sparkly as a UNICORN! :D In fact, this rare occurrence caused such a whirl of glittery excitement that it might have even brought out the dastardly Twitter Fail Whale.
Being ahead of time from most of the American-European zones, I was in my nice snuggly Sy-dreamland when this cosmic alignment happened.
