Ok, it’s a lie. I did not even see the movie so I do not know if I would have liked it, but…. since it was a successful adaption of a tv show to big screen success, the networks are now looking at everything including the kitchen sink. And you are asking yourself what does that mean? Well, according to Pauly Crackers on NY1 this morning, a Soprano’s Movie is really happening! And, the always rumored Arrested Development, is a go (again). I have to note, I have not been able to confirm Soprano’s. Thank you to all the girls who dressed up like Carrie to attend the movie and eat Popcorn and sour patch kids!

Check out the Trailer for Quid Pro Quo, it looks like it is a great trailer! The movie is from Magnolia so at least your assured its probably pretty good. Here’s the story line, Isaac,a wheelchair bound radio host, recounts a recently anonymous tip,”…Ancient Chinese Girl.” She tells him a perfectly able-bodied man walked into an emergency ward downtown, and attempted to bribe a doctor into amputating his leg.

As Isaac investigates the eerie tip, he encounters Fiona (Vera Farmiga) who, through her own quandary, leads Isaac to a netherworld of people afflicted with a perverse desire to be disabled. Like a contemporary noir detective film, QUID PRO QUO follows Isaac as he embarks on a dream-like journey to pull back the layers of what makes people feel whole.”… Read more here.

He has been living in Lowel Mass. filming a movie, and keeping a blog. Excerpt from the most recent post…

“Week fourteen - June 2008

Went to New York again for the weekend.

Gave Louis a ride on the old jet. We had dinner on the Upper East Side then Louis checked in to a hotel as he had forgotten his house keys.

He also left his phone behind.

Then he forgot he was having a sofa delivered.

Then he nearly missed the plane back.

Then when we got back to Lowell he realised that he’d left his Lowell keys in New York.

Fuck me. He’s 40 years old.

Then he told me that he was immediately driving back to Upstate New York to be present at the cremation of his dog Loona.

She was killed yesterday by a truck and Louis wanted to see her one last time.

He was really broken up about it and the way he talked about her almost made me cry. She was a lovely dog apparently and Louis is a lovely man.

The plane journey by the way was pretty scary. We were warned as we boarded of “really bad turbulence”. It was indeed really bad, but I was nowhere near as scared as I thought I would be when I saw how scared Louis was. I nearly burst at the mad things he was shouting out in fear. Luckily, I taped it and will stick it on this blog next week sometime.”
