At the Residence Inn by Marriott. As God is my witness, my room # was "201" ... And when I sought help ... (click on pic for full effect.)

Top: seedy street. Bottom: no, it's movie magic. This business never ceases to impress me. (CinePaks Studios, North Hollywood.)

Lights, Camera... Woof? On set of Parallel Process, with super gracious director Ronan Arthur, talented castmate Morgana Shaw... and Freddy, Ronan's ever-calm mascot. This was a lighthearted set 😁

Let's see if I can't get out in front of this one: I just changed my ancient FB cover photo. It's not a big deal, really, not that anyone was suggesting it is. But then, FB usually alerts the world. So, in advance, please accept my apologies for any boredom brought on by our automaton overlords.

Me, exhausted (possibly light-headed from the hair gel), after one day of playing an '80s game show host. I'm wondering how these guys did it for decades. DECADES. Plus I don't have a pink jacket.

'80s Hair?: check. Oversized smiles?: check. Checked suit?: check. With Brita Stream Arcuri backstage as game show hosts at Cine Rent West. Thanks, director Matt Miadich & entire crew!

"Pick a Square!," or "You Win the Car!," etc., etc. 80's game show host wardrobe, courtesy costumer El Crowson on the set of director Matt Miadich's hilarious spot for... I can't tell you yet. But it's worth the wait. So, "Come on Down!"

Another boring picnic story? No, he just hasn't gotten to the part about the alligator attack yet. Actually, it's no holiday when Jeff Benninghofen battles a rogue 'gator in "Bonecrusher's Revenge," director Michael Holland King's Horror-Action-Comedy-Thriller (now in post-production).

Paris, Day #9: So it turns out the French word for 'Police' sounds just like ours. Same with their response to 'Can I get a closer look at your rifle?' (Au revoir, Paris: it's been fun.)

Paris, Day #7: So you *CAN get close to the Mona Lisa at the Musée du Louvre. Do this: get in the packed room and hug the left wall. Keep moving forward 'til you hit the front rope. Then just slide right to dead center. Voila! It'll take 5 minutes, but it's better than standing half-way back, behind 200 people with selfie sticks.

Paris, Day #6: Good to know we're exporting the best of America to these people. Oh wait, the wrapper says it's made in France. Hey, French people! If you don't have your own culture, it doesn't mean you can steal ours.

Paris, Day #5: A sighting of the iconic Citroën 2CV, just outside town. In 1948, about 9 horsepower, with a Zero-60 time of ain't-gonna-happen. Room for 4 plus baguettes. (More romantic-looking with some editing in post.)

27/07/2024

Paris, Day #4: Long lines everywhere. (Something going on? General strike?) Still, can't complain: here, they call the subway the 'Catacombs,' and these people obviously have been waiting much longer than me.

26/07/2024

Paris, Day #3: Ya' know what? I thought this was a clever name for a French perfume store, until they explained it's actually a giant international brand. Comment dit-on «Je suis un tel rube» en Anglais?

25/07/2024

Paris, Day #2: the rumors are true - lots of good French resturants here. The one on the left has something called 'poulet.' I don't want to know what the one on the right serves: but they have three different kinds of it.

Paris, Day #1: Bonjour (bone-ZHURRRR'). The little box of macrons (mah-KROHNZZZ') they sell at the top of this tall building is out of date: the multi-colored Audi logo is not represented. I expected more for 32€ (reep-AWWWHF).

Outside Phoenix today, the high was 113º. On the hiking trail, they said "When it's this hot, follow the warning signs to the letter." Umm...🥵🥵 Stay cool on the 4th, all!

"Raveland," now free for the watching on Tubi. Just a bunch of teens stuck on an island, trying to save the world. Plus one deranged minister. Scary stuff from director Rebecca Ugo Ihim. Here's the link:

Later, 'Gator! So long Swampy, the World's Largest Gator; I will miss your Southern hospitality & the exotic foods we shared while filming. (Updates when the film's released. No updates on the foods.)

3 Amigos! Director/writer Michael Holland King & star Jeff Benninghofen get ready to wrap filming at Jungle Adventures A Real Florida Animal Park, while the idiot next to them learns 92° & a wool suit don't necessarily go together. (But it did fit nicely.)
