"The Astronaut Farmer" starts shooting here in New Mexico in a week or so...

I got a call to audition as a square dance caller for the movie, but we'll be on that cruise when that's shooting the square dance scenes! There's a casting call tomorrow for background extras and square dancers, but we'll give it a miss. It's floating around all over town...I've gotten three calls from co-workers who saw flyers about the casting call and asked if I knew about it!

I did just post it to the Wilde Bunch email list. I'm sure the trannies will head down there for the call.

Don't know how square dancers figure into all this, but we'll see, IF the movie is ever distributed. Most of the movies filmed in New Mexico that I've heard of are duds as far as I can tell. There was one called "Suspect Zero" filmed several years ago with a LOT of hoopla, but it was panned. Too bad, cause I think Aaron Eckhart is a hottie. I melt over soulful eyes, be they blue, green, brown or black. The "Suspect Zero" company rented equipment from our theatre, which is how I even knew about it.

Billy Bob Thornton is no Aaron Eckhart in the looks department, but has about 20 times more depth from what I've seen. Okay, I like shallow!

Caught "The Dan Band" on Bravo

Thanks to fuzzygruf, we set the Replay to hunt down and record "The Dan Band" whenever it came back on...I think it must have been six weeks ago he mentioned seeing it on Bravo, but we missed the last playing then by a few hours.

Enjoyed the hell out of it! Great concept...he says he's just a 'regular guy,' but with those moves, those backup singers, and that energy, he's hyper-regular. Plus, any man that married Kathy Nijimy is ALL RIGHT in my book!

I guess it all started with him doing "I Am Woman" at a kareoke bit a while back, and it grew out of that. I would have liked to see him do that whole number in this show...it was just bits of it during the end credits.
