Yay!

The jungle in the back yard has now been mowed and I can see the clothes-line. I knew it had been lurking out there somewhere and with my trusty mower was able to navigate a path (or twenty) so all was revealed.

Vincent D'Onofrio on Good Things,Utah
yesterday, Friday 12 March 2010

Photobucket
The women spoilt the interview by talking about themselves. Why? It seems they're using his appearance to get more publicity for themselves.

Personally I think they could have sat back and let the Guest have centre-stage which is the reason you have a guest in the first place to learn more about his projects.

He hasn't ruled out doing another television show,
just one that is a little more family-time friendly.

Rant Update: None of the interviewers mentioned that The New Tenants, a film he appeared in won an Oscar for Best Short, Live Action. This interview was after the Oscars.

I am currently reading a book called
Photobucket
It is the story of Miramax Sundance and the Rise of Independent Films.

Vincent D'Onofrio is to portray Harvey Weinstein
in the film of the book which is filming now.

On page 69, an exempt from the book
"Finesse was never part of Harvey's arsenal. He tore phones out of walls and hurled them. He slammed doors and overturned tables. Almost anything within reach could become a weapon -ashtrays, books and tapes, ..."

While I was reading this particular page
I remember a scene in LO:Criminal Intent
Photobucket
where the character Goren yells at his mentor Cage and another scene when Goren with a sweep of his arm sends the contents of his desktop clattering to the floor. I remember thinking how explosive those scenes were and how the 'practice' run will benefit D'onofrio's portrayal of the Harvey Weinstein role.

At the 2010 Oscars, a movie called The New Tenants
won Best Short Film, Live Action.
Vincent played a character in it called Jan.

Hooray! I have finally finished with the physiotherapist after 4 months of therapy. I had an appointment with my doctor this morning and he gave me the all clear, after I left the surgery I rang the physio and cancelled my appointment for tomorrow.

Personally I think I have been ok for the last month but the physio insisted I needed more therapy but as I am not a contortionist I would not need to distort my body in weird and more wonderful positions. I'm done.
