A strong candidate

January 13, 2001 by Michael Boyle

for the worst movie of all time has to be The Norseman, which was just on the cheapo movie channel I get. Lee Majors stars – but even better is the supporting cast. Former Rams lineman Deacon Jones plays a prominent role, and Fred Biletnikoff (once a great cornerback for the Raiders) makes an appearance as well.

A friend of mine

is a filmmaker, and is actually working quite regularly editing, shooting, doing all sorts of stuff that doesn’t involve being some director’s driver. Unlike most, John didn’t go to film school and do that whole scene – he just started making movies. One of his early trilogy of shorts has made its way to iFilm, and it’s hilarious. It’s called Dutchboy Racer, directed by John Hepworth, John Ashmore, DoP. John and I did lunch to discuss a possible role, but he decided to go another direction, so this isn’t my cinematic debut. What I’m really waiting for though is John’s first feature, a sci-fi extravaganza whose development title is “HydroBeef”.

It’s odd to read about

a party I was at in the paper: “…a dear friend of mine threw a martini-drenched surprise B-day bash for his (biological) girlfriend just last weekend. Now, I knew all the mainly straight partygoers there quite well, of course (a few number among my most fabulous friends and drinking buddies), a cast of this city’s finest dancers, musicians, journalists and divine rogues, including the owners of two of the hottest and hippest nightspots in the city.”
I guess I’m a divine rogue, which suits me just fine.

Wow

. CBC News: Bouchard to step down as Quebec premier: reports. Huge news here in Montreal, and very odd. Not sure if it’s good news or bad news. [via Ed]
