Bleh….

Dear Mother Nature,

Stop. Frackin’. Rainin’.

Thank you.

Came out of the house this morning and I almost got rolled for protection money.

I tell ya this neighborhood is going to the birds….

brotherhood-begins-filming-on-monday

Showtime’s Brotherhood begins filming in Rhode Island on Monday.

Charles on 94 WHJY has been interviewing actor Ethan Embry and creator Blake Masters since Season 1 occasionally on a weekly basis.

Season 2 DVD arrives in October 28th. Season 3 begins in November.

The open casting call on Sunday over at the Atrium Gallery went well, I think.

Although some people would think differently, while awaiting in line one of the other extras explained to the people in front of us exactly how much an extra makes per hour versus SAG.

The person promptly declared why was she still in line, she dropped off her non-perishable can goods at the desk, handed back in her uncompleted form and stalked out.

The LDI Casting people manning the form stable and the rest of us tried to keep a straight face.

Lesson One about being extra: One should not be looking for fortune and glory. It is all about the experience.

According to a few people at work, myself and the other line peeps at the iPhone 3G Line at Providence Place Mall made it onto Eyewitness News…

brotherhood-returning-to-ri

Judging from the chatter on the Brotherhood IMDB Message Board (and this Projo Article from last week) production is ramping up for the 8 episodes of Season 3.

If and when LDI Casting have an extra casting call, I’d recommend anyone whose toying with the idea of going to the casting call to get your current headshot photo taken, printed and stored away in a folder labeled Head Shots now.

Brotherhood Season 2 DVD arrives in October.

 

tazza-cafes-movie-night

Thursday Nights showing of Raiders of the Lost Ark at Tazza Cafe for movie night went well.

There is no bad seat, even sitting at outside table you could still see everything. The crowd was small at first then everyone showed up as dusk arrived.

Free seating, burgers and hot dogs grilled outside, popcorn.

The basic set up is showing said movie (on DVD) across a large white board on a brick wall with two large speakers for left and right channels. Simple and effective once the crowd settles and thankfully they turned up the sound last night cuz let’s face it, you wanna hear all those punches and the music.

There was even a little kid dressed up as Indy with the hat, shirt, pants and the whip and I’ll assume his father had a mix of Beloq’s hat and creepy german guy jacket.

Even one of the PVD Cops driving by asked when the movie started.

If anyone feels like going I’d highly recommend bringing a chair, blanket and jackets.

ri-film-tax-credit-shenanigans-over

About two weeks ago, Projo posted an article about the Tax Credit Verbiage being adjusted to include more Rhode Island base companies instead getting out-of-state companies involved. Judging from the article I’d say it’s a step in the right direction.

Now, if SAG/AFTRA would come to agreement and get their respective contracts signed…

Mister Basile is fortunate enough to turn 33 on the last day of April.

As Penda would say: May you have sloppy birthday sex.

Or in Mister Basile’s case, maybe the rugrats not wake you up in the middle of the night.

Someone’s been busy…
