Backhanded Compliment of the Week:

“Hey, that was great! You did that almost like a bad actor!” -- My acting teacher

To my defense, we were told to do the prologue for Romeo and Juliet in our own way. So I purposely over dramatized it for humorous purposes.

Britons not having as much sex as you think
Which is unfortunate as I assumed sex was outlawed there. Of course my view of Britain comes from stuffy British supporting actors in 1950s monster movies.

How to write an 83-page script in two days and then go off and win FIRST PLACE IN THE RHODE ISLAND INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL!
Because that’s what I just did. My screenplay, A Muse Named Stephen King, which you may have remembered I wrote the first draft of two weeks before this competition's deadline, won first place at the screenwriting competition of the festival. All agents, production companies, and barely legal cabana boys should form a single-file line outside of my trailer please.

And just in case you were frantically checking the website for my name to put into your Dlugos fan scrapbooks, they haven’t put it on the website yet. The screenplay awards you likely found were Best Screenplay for already produced films that were shown at the festival this summer.

And since I now have all this Hollywood clout
I’m making this announcement Academy Award people: if you snub Scorsese AGAIN for the Best Director Oscar for his very, very, very, very, very excellent The Departed….I’m going to whack someone. Probably Tom Hanks. And I know how much you like him.

OK, fine I won't (I liked him too much in The Green Mile)....but you should all go see The Departed if only to feel the time-warp qualities of a three hour film feeling like 45 minutes.

Favorite Jon Stewart joke from his appearance at the Wang Center Friday
"These religious nutjobs hate homosexuality because they say the Bible says it's an abomination. Have you read the Bible? EVERYTHING is an abomination. In the book of Leviticus, seafood is an abomination. Yet you don't hear these people screaming:

"God hates faggots! And scallops!"

My new boycott
I've discovered why I continue to watch Law and Order: Special Victims Unit after nine years of viewing stereotypical pedophiles, pedophiles who don't look anything like a stereotypical pedophile, pedophiles who were at once children who encountered a stereotypical or non-stereotypical pedophile, pedophiles who look remarkably like my cousin Bob, pedophiles who actually are my cousin Bob, and my personal favorite....pedophiles who are also Jerry Lewis (yes, Jerry Lewis is going to be a special guest next week, presumably as a pedophile. This gives The Nutty Professor new meaning.). Apparently after many seasons of learning way too much about pedophiles, sex crimes, and unspeakable places one can put a banana when one's victim has a banana allergy, I've concluded I still watch this show solely because of Mariska Hargitay as she is amazingly compelling to watch. Which has made the start of the new season....of which she is still on maternity leave....absolutely painful to watch. They replaced her with some chick for the time being, and the chemistry is just really far off. Therefore, as I'm refusing to watch until she comes back, you should expect the ratings to absolutely PLUMMET. I hold that kind of power, you know. I'm very persuasive. And I'm holding the Nielsen family hostage in the basement.
