Just went to see “Capote” and really thought very highly of Phillip Seymore Hoffman’s portrayal of Truman Capote during the time he was writing “In Cold Blood”. The Gary noted that a lot of Capote’s humor from the biography upon which the film is based is left out of the movie. Pretty bleak going through the details of the Clutter killings and the subsequent death by hangings of Dick and Perry. Reminded me of Robert Blake in the movie based on Capote’s book. Riviting performance by Hoffman. Really Oscar material. The movie was less impressive than some of the portrayals within the movie, Mr. and Mrs. Oz opined, and I agree. The four of us missed a performance by Roger Lienke at The Red Cup, arriving too late after dinner at Lido, attended as well by SuzArt, Ralph’s Sharon and BKMDANO. BobO hurt himself getting off his scooter. KW attended Paseo Friday drinks on her way to IAO’s opening of UCO grad student art. I had a pretty good day except I got dumped — AGAIN! This morning, folks at the Red Cup were still talking about me reading my short story Thursday night (OK, I prompted them to talk about it because I’m so fucking self centered. Get over it.). The cool part about that is that I went from the Cup to bin 73, ran into some OK film makers of short films and they were interested in the story and the other short stories I’ve posted on the blog. Cool, huh? Got some photos back from the weekend photo shoot and Juliet at Elastic Cafe says one of them is a sure “money shot.” I think they’re just joshing me, but what do I know? I may run up to Stillwater and see if I can get the webmaster to help me to learn how to post images on this blog. Someday, there might even be video if JohnX helps. Hey, it COULD happen!
