No real entry this week, folks. Getting ready to go on a trip with my wife and daughter to London and Paris! I can feel the tears of pity well in your eyes for me. We need to get away, I can tell you that. It's been a long time. If any of you are in England, I will be at the Memorabilia Event at the Birmingham NEC on Sunday the 29th of March. And then on April 11, I'm doing "An Evening With" in London (see www.wolfevents.com). Come by if you can!
Sendhil is shooting a movie in London. We'll be seeing him there. My wife, Beth, has great friends in London, her second family, with whom she was visiting when she found out she was pregnant with Tess, our daughter, who is now almost 10. They haven't seen each other since. I have some friends there as well that I haven't seen in years. My mother was raised there as a child. Perhaps we'll go out to Sussex to visit her old home.
We will be taking Tess to Liverpool to do a corny Beatles tour. Tess and I are huge Beatles fans (my wife likes them, could live without them, but cannot as she is outnumbered in this) and I have never been there, so, lucky kid, she gets to see the Cavern, their childhood homes, the Casbah, Penny Lane, all that great stuff. Oh, and three days in Paris! I hear they might have some good food over there? I will report back.
Jimmy Jean-Louis might be in London, globe trotting as he is constantly between Paris, London, Los Angeles and Haiti. I hope we will get to see him. Jimmy has a non-profit organization called Hollywood Unites for Haiti (www.hufh.org). Please check it out. He's a great man, Jimmy, doing great things for his less well-off countrymen. Warning: the video on the website might make you cry.
Just a couple of quick Heroes thoughts. Whoever started the Hayden-is-trying-to-get-Milo-fired rumor should himself or herself be fired. I worked with both of them the day that story broke and they were exactly as they always are: pleasant and professional. Someone should have the cojones to step forward and say, "I made this up out of whole cloth. I am a liar. I am intentionally trying to cause them personal and professional grief for no reason whatsoever." And then, he or she should fall on his or her sword. I mean that metaphorically but if they chose to be literal, so be it.
Second, "Cold Snap" was pretty darn good, I thought. It's so great to have Bryan Fuller back and director Greg Yaitanes always knocks it out of the park. Masi carrying Baby Matt Parkman in the Baby Bjorn, while transporting James in the wheelbarrow, while all around them are frozen? Ali turning to ice, freezing the entire parking garage and all the SWAT guys? Come on, that's good TV! Props need to go out to those guys for remaining frozen all day while shooting that scene. They all have to just hold themselves completely still, as did James in the wheelbarrow. That's low-tech, old-fashioned ab burning there.
We have some really good episodes in the pipeline to finish out the season. I will be back to comment on them in a couple of weeks. Oh, my Sci-FI Channel movie, Polar Storm, is on this Saturday night, March 28th. This time I am trying to save the world without the help of corrective lenses!
Be well, all. Speak to you soon.
