#Andy Talen

[whoa-where-did-the-pancakes-go]

I was not fucking planning on doing this and I haven't had time to edit my wording. Whatever. This is my side of the bargain.

Patrick glanced at the bottle. He picked it up and admired the golden liquid. It sloshed as he spun the bottle in his hand. It couldnt hurt to just try a bit, could it? Patrick uncorked to bottle and poured a bit into Pete's glass. He gazed at it for a moment - he didn't usually drink, and even then it was just a glass of wine at a party or maybe a beer if Joe dragged him out to a bar. The whiskey rippled slightly. Oh, to hell with the norms. Patrick took a sip.

Damn, that was good. Pete had good taste. He took a bigger gulp.

The clock struck one. Pete, Andy, and Joe were still out.

The glass in front of him looked so inviting, just sitting there. Patrick grabbed the glass and knocked back the rest. He breathed in deeply, "fuck, thats good." Before patrick could stop himself, he refilled to glass and drained it again. More. He wanted more.

Patrick reached across the counter for the whiskey, knocking his empty glass onto the floor. It shattered. Oh well. He took a swig directly from the bottle.

"Man, I should do this more often." He took another long drink, "fuckin' amazing."

More.

Patrick took a deep breath and downed what was left in the bottle. More. Still more.

He dropped the bottle carelessly, where it smashed on the floor next to Pete's glass. Patrick squinted at it. The floor wriggled like he was looking at it from underwater. "Stop moving," he mumbled, attempting to nudge to broken glass with his foot.

"Whatever." Patrick moved to take another swig from the whiskey bottle, only to remember he'd just dropped it onto the tile floor of the kitchen.

He grumbled to himself as he got up from his seat to reach for another bottle. The floor swayed under his feet.

Patrick examined the liquor cabinet. What was supposed to be good? He only wanted the best. Quality had never really mattered to Patrick, but now that he had a taste, the idea of drinking a mediocre IPA in a shitty vegas bar disgusted him. His eyes feel upon a bottle of red wine, an expensive one, too.

He grabbed a corkscrew and uncorked the bottle. The first sip was light, but the wine left his mouth dry, aching for more. More. More. More.

The red liquid swirled. He gulped more, until the bottle was empty.

Such an overwhelming Greed had taken over patrick, he didnt even notice the bottle dropping from his hands and breaking to bits.

More.

Patrick grabbed the next bottle, struggling to read the label. He must've talen his glasses off, though when he reached up, he foundd they were still perched firmly on his nose. He tossed the glasses in vaguely the direction of the counter. He didn't need them right now.

It didn't matter what the bottle was anyway. He just needed more. Moremoremore. More.

More. He took a long, deep, swallow. Then another.

Patrick gasped for air. God, he felt alive.

When I got my Yuletide and Robot Rumpus assignments, my first instinct was to immediately default on both of them. After studying their fandom presence, I felt my skill sets were inadequate andI whatever I thought of, I just wouldn’t be able to make something that would really make my recipients happy. Wouldn’t the kindest, best gift be to give up and hope the pinch hitter gives them something they’d love.

But you know what, life is full of disappointments. Sometimes, you’ll get your highly talened bestie who you've shared the same fandoms for ten years and know your favorite tropes and DNWS to a tee. Other times, you’ll get me.

Sleep No More #15-17

So a series of weird visits over a short few days. This was around the time where a close friend of mine was leaving NYC, and in addition to doing a visit with them, I found myself retreating to the McKittrick as a source of familiar comfort. I have found the hotel has definitely transformed over time to be a place that seems more and more intimate with every visit, and even despite three pretty off-feeling visits, there were moments -- as always -- of delight and beauty.

Some highlights and vignettes:

Jeff Docimo's Boy is an absolute star of the show. His ability and versatility in the many roles that he takes on is beyond talented, and carries so much to the show. His crazed dance on the table as the rave is starting after Hecate's scream filled with fantastic awe. I also caught a white mask going hard during the rave himself which was amusing to see. In another show, Jeff as Fulton WALKED ON THE CEILING in the duet with Taxi. I will never not put it past Jeff to do some crazy impossible-seeming acrobatic.

While Jeff's movements are dynamic and full-forced, Jack Blackmon's Boy (can you guess my favorite character) is almost serpentine in his dance, twirling and snaking all over the lost luggage room before pressing me against the door. His shower scene is particularly poignant and the fall from the playful character earlier in the loop is quite apparent.

Nate Carter's Macbeth is a feat to be seen. A very rare treat that I was privy to see, his dynamic duet with Lady Macbeth post party was absolutely brutal as they slammed each other into walls and over shelves. His murder of Banquo is particularly savage, and it feels like he is putting all the energy he can muster into that brick slam. When he staggers from behind the speakeasy bar, you can see him gasping for energy, almost broken from the murder of his confidant.

Two white masks were pushed into the interrogation room with me as Andy Talen and Ernesto Breton began their duet, and for a few seconds, it seemed like the black mask in the room was going to have to let them out after they repeatedly yanked on the room. But the combo of Andy/Ernesto absolutely dominated -- I believe I've seen Ernesto the most in this scene, and he never misses.

Mallory Gracenin's Hecate serenading me to Is That All There Is? has to be a top 5 intimate moment for me. Having such a powerful performer stare at you with such intensity, forcing themselves to cry as their eyes remain fixed boring into you is something you can only get in this show. Followed by an electric 1:1 and a marked mask only felt like the cherry on top to a phenomenal lip sync.

Walkouts with Doug Burkhardt's Fulton, Evan Fisk's Banquo, and Brandon Coleman's Porter honestly were some of my favorite ways to end the show. There is such an intimate tenderness in these walkouts that you can't even get in 1:1s that I have found myself hanging around the fourth floor more on the last loop to try to get.

Hi, everybody. I’m 27 now, and my birthday is also my SNM-versary. 8 years. What did it get me? Still trying to figure it out.

On New Year’s Eve I was, say, entertaining a gentleman caller on the fourth floor by the rep bar hallway. I asked his name, and he said it, and he had the same name as my first choice PhD program and I choose to believe it’s a SIGN. Immediately after that he pulled away and either intentionally or accidentally knocked my glasses off my face, and they got trampled in the revelry, and so I’m out $100. I kind of want to believe it was on purpose, because what an evil genius move - blind me and then make your escape while I’m on my hands and knees clawing around for my glasses like Velma.

Been in a bit of a casting rut lately, but it was great to see Ingrid/Matron. It takes a lot for anything in the McK to make me uncomfortable these days, but she managed it in her 1:1, so go check her out. Bonus points for being the only matron who’s ever let me pick my own teacup.

Thryn is a wonderful, frightening Bald Witch, and as I’ve said before earns bonus points for having the coolest name I’ve ever heard.

I know you all know this already but Audrey’s a great nurse.

One of my joys is watching the nurse and matron make the Macbeths’ bed at the end of the show, since there aren’t usually a lot of people and I live for domesticity. Ingrid flung a pillow across the bed. I love antagonistic matrons.

Spent some time with Speakeasy, which I don’t usually do. I guess he’s my favorite male character. I like the 1:1 a lot but am bad at getting it, and one of the few times I did I messed up the card trick. Jeff blesses himself as he walks by the statue of the Virgin Mary. I can’t remember ever having seen a barman do that, but I’m not around him enough to really know.

I have a newfound affection for the spearmint gumdrops, which is surprising because I am generally of the opinion that spearmint is just peppermint’s ugly cousin.

For the past few visits I’ve been noticing Andy Talen/Malcolm’s one-handed shot glass juggling during the ballroom, but I keep forgetting to comment on its impressiveness. I thought I might follow him, but I forgot which side he leaves through after the ball and remembered the grueling four floor dash up to his office, and so I stayed put, sitting on a pillar platform, because my laziness trumps all else.

I don’t really have much else to report - I’m not teaching Macbeth this spring, which kind of makes me sad because if all goes as planned it’s my swan song, but I no longer have it in me to read papers about how Lady Macbeth manipulates her husband by playing upon his manhood.

This was a very weird and relaxed show for me. Lately, I’ve been going in with no plan, and just kind of wandering around, stopping with any scene that strikes my fancy. It’s very different to the way I’ve traditionally watched the show, but I’m enjoying it. 

Started out with Jason’s Boy Witch because I haven’t see him in the role yet.  He was terrific...until I got completely distracted by Virginia at the rave. I haven’t seen her Hecate in ages, and she is my favorite person in the role right now. Ugh. She’s so beautifully maniacal as Hecate!  I never made it back to Jason, although I definitely plan to---he seems to be doing great things with the character.

John William Watson’s energy as Taxi definitely drew me in. He’s not as overtly creepy as some, but his quiet menace is terrific. 

And Mallory and Ginger and Stephanie in the bar! What can I say? They were hilarious. Just hilarious. And warm and lovely. 

I literally never saw Macbeth the entire show (spent the entire rave looking at Virginia, and never glanced away.) So...when I met up with people after the show and found out that Erik was Macbeth? Ugh! Could have kicked myself for not checking. I miss his Macbeth. (Although I miss his Banquo more!)

All-in-all? A fun time was had!  (Sorry for the incomplete cast list. When I started posting them, I knew the only way I could do it is if I didn’t stress about being complete. That’s why I never put them up in the past.)

Tomb Invader (2018) [US]

¡Oi! Spoilers, stavfel och alternativa fakta kan förekomma rakt föröver!

Amazon Prime Video visade sig inte bara ha en hel hög gamla lågbudget Science Fiction/Fantasy-filmer. De har ett helt gäng filmer från the Asylum med. Lycka!

2018 var inte bara året då Alicia Vikander röjde på biograferna som Lara Croft i Tomb Raider -- det var också året då The Asylum släppte sin mockbuster på temat. Tomb Invader, för i säkerhets skull, har dock kanske mer gemensamt med Indiana Jones än Lara Croft. Arkeologen och professorn Alabama 'Ally' Channing (Gina Vitori) får chansen att, via miljardären Tim Parker (Evan Sloan), att återuppta jakten på en mäktig artefakt som hennes mor Julie Channing (Tammy Klein) en gång letade efter. Med sig på expeditionen tar hon bästa vännerna Helena (Samantha Bowling), som specialiserar sig på språk och Bennie Blum (Shawn McConnell). Väl på plats i området där hennes mor en gång försvann visar det sig att hennes stora rival Nathan (Andrew Katers) också är inbjuden.

Trots att den här filmens grund har mer gemensamt med Indiana Jones har den en och annan detalj som även känns igen från Tomb Raider. Den försvunna föräldern till exempel som försvann på sin sista expedition och en tjej som inte räds att sparka rumpa. Nu är det här en film från The Asylum, så den har en story som kanske känns aningen förenklad och en dialog som inte alltid sitter där den skall, men den håller en klass som för studion i fråga avgjort måste kallas över medel. Cgi:n är riktigt bra, iaf för sin budget och de flesta av fightingscenerna är riktigt bra. (Det sistnämnda kan också bero på de billiga 80-tals fantasy-filmerna jag sett på sistone). Filmens stora akilleshäl är kanske dess stora skurkroll, för min del så funkar det inte riktigt att passa ihop "kallt beräknande med ont uppsåt i bakfickan" med en karaktär som starkt påminner om "Andy" från komediserien "Jims värld / According to Jim".

Man slår inte på en av The Asylums filmer och förväntar sig en upplevelse i klass med de stora blockbustrarna. Det här är varken "Tomb Raider" eller "Indiana Jones", men väl ett välproducerat lågbudgetraffel, och säga vad man vill om The Asylum: de är inte rädda för att låta kvinnliga karaktärer ta plats. Och från någon som ett gäng lågbudgetrullar från 70- och 80-talen, nä så pjåkigt är det här inte.

Våren 2021, lite förvånande, beräknas Lara Croft åter springa in på biograferna. Visst håller vi tummarna att vi även får se Alabama Channing springa in på våra streamingtjänster veckan innan?

Den här filmen är även känd som “Tomb Hunter” och “The Tomb: Heart of the Dragon”.
