I worked lights on a show where the lead actress gave her best possible secret agent impression, ducking from shadow to shadow. Pity she was in a 1776 rip-off at the time.
Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
So we're in agreement with JZ and all is right with the world.
Also, I have worked with those light avoiding actor beasts, and it puzzles me.

Anybody else read that as "breasts" instead of "beasts"?
Just me then, I guess.

A One that isn't cold, is scarcely A One at all.
Car-centric things bore me.
This made me recall the car-centric shows I grew up watching (and heavily influenced my driving style) or at least featured a car chase every week. I'm talking shows like Knight Rider, Dukes of Hazzard, Fall Guy, A-Team, just about anything by Cannell really. Seems the car chase has been phased out in favor of scientific investigation lately.
The cars were almost characters on the show. I was looking foward to the car-centric stuff.

If I only had a brain...
There's been times when I've thought it would be easier to just have a million spotlights following everyone around.
Go all Brechty and have each actor carry his/her own light.

Anybody else read that as "breasts" instead of "beasts"?*raises hand*

I love car movies, though I've never seen Cannonball Run. Mostly, I think I just love cars so I'll totally watch a movie about them. Even a bad one.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So I take it you're going to see Cars ?

It looks very family friendly. I'll probably wait for it to hit cable.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Though I've worked with more than my fair share of actors who can't ever seem to find their light. Light is hot & bright. I don't know how they can fail to find it, but they do. There's been times when I've thought it would be easier to just have a million spotlights following everyone around.
I've seen stage productions at the community college level where the director was the music director for the college and not only forced the sets to be all bright colors, but insisted on having all lights up and the scoops on during the performances "so everyone can be seen." Thank god I was just starting out and had a minor part.
The drama department staff declined to insist on credits for the lighting team...I think at the request of the lighting team.
