and other random thoughts

So tonight it is a special 2 hour Inside the Actor’s Studio with Al Pacino. Wow, they finally got Al Pacino. I cannot think of all the bad actors they have had on that show, but I was convinced that Al Pacino had to have been on it already. That was just because I thought there was no way that Martin Lawrence could beat Pacino to the show. Godfather vs. Big Momma – pretty comparable talents.

Speaking of talent I had lunch with Spike Lee on Saturday. Actually I was out with my mentee for his birthday and sitting next to us at the Blue Water Grill – Spike Lee. A few things:

1) Spike Lee looked up at me and seemed to be wondering, “I though I knew all the Knicks.”

2) His son was wearing a Troy Palamalo jersey (Steelers player). Good choice young man.

3) I had to fight everything in my being not give him a business card and say – need someone to play a racist Italian in your next movie? Or a dude who is half black, but looks Egyptian? But I have listened to Eminem’s “The way I am,” and celebrities don’t always want people to bother them when their out eating with their kid.

Not too much else going on with me – big show tomorrow night. That’s about it.

And The Wire is the best show on TV.
