to wait, one of the best scene ever ... friends season 9 episode 15 The One With The Mugging

[Scene: Audition room, Joey is lead into the room by a receptionist in a fancy dress]

Receptionist: This is Joey Tribbiani. Joey, these are the producers and, as you probably already know, this is Lennart Haze.

(Lennart Haze turns around in his chair to face Joey)

Joey: It is so amazing to meet you. (They are shaking hands) I’m such a big fan of your work.

Lennart: Well, I’ve… I’ve been blessed with a… a lot of great roles.

Joey: Tell me about it! “Unlimited nights and weekends!”

Lennart: You making fun of me? Because I am not a sell-out. (He stands up and walks menacingly towards Joey) I didn’t do that for the money, I believe in those phones. I almost lost a cousin because of bad wireless service.

Joey: No, I-I-I wasn’t making fun of you, honestly, I-I think you were great in those commercials.

Lennart: Really?

Joey: Yeah.

Lennart: Well, I do bring a certain credibility to the role.

Joey: (regaining confidence) Are you kiddin’? When they shoot you out of that cannon…

Lennart: Peeeeeooooooooch (He mimes flying out of the cannon) “Hang up that phone!” One take!

Joey: Wow!

Lennart: So, shall we read?

Joey: Oh, yah, sure.

Lennart: Top of act two. This is my entrance. You got it?

(Joey nods whereupon Lennart acts as if he is entering a room)

Lennart: “What the hell are you still doing here”?

(Joey stares at him, fascinated by his performance)

Joey: Err, “I think you know”.

Lennart: “Bastard”!

Joey: “I am what you made me. You know what? I could go right now.”

Lennart: “Go, go!”

Joey: “I can’t. Oh, I want to, long pause, but I can’t.”

Lennart: I’m sorry, sorry. You’re not supposed to say “long pause”

Joey: (understandingly) Oh, oh, I thought that was your character’s name, you know, I thought you were like an Indian or something, you know with a… (He mimes wearing a feather on his head)

Lennart: No. Thank you so much for coming in. We appreciate it, thank you.

Joey: Ah, y-y-you’re sure you don’t want me to do it again? I could do it with an accent, you know, Southern (He speaks in what he believes is a Southern accent) “I could go right now, maaan!”

Lennart: (stunned, muttering) My god in heaven.

(The producers stand up)

Producer #1: Joey, hang on for a second. Lennart, can we talk to you for a moment?

(They stand aside, talking)

Lennart: You, you gotta be kidding. See, h-he, he can’t act. (Joey hears that and his disappointment is reflected in his facial expression).

(Producer #1 whispers something)

Lennart: Hey! I-I-I don’t care if he’s hot, you know. If you want to sleep with him, do it on your own time. (Joey smiles smugly at this) This is a play. No, listen: if you insist on this, I will call my agent so fast on a cell phone that has a connection that is so clear he’s gonna think I’m next door.

(Joey approaches them)

Joey: (interrupting their conversation) Ah, hi, ah. Thank you so much for whispering for my benefit, but, ah, look, if you just tell me what I did wrong, I’d just love to work on it and come back and try it again for you. And, and also: (to Producer #1) ‘How you doing?’ (to Lennart again) You should, please, just gimme another chance. I really wanna get better, please.

Lennart: Well, if you wanna come back at the end of the day today, here are my notes. Ready?

Joey: Yeah.

Lennart: Uhm, you’re in your head. You-you’re thinking way too much.

Joey: I really doubt that.

Lennart: (explaining to Joey, who nods fervently) No, no, no. It’s that you’re not connected with anything in your body. There’s no urgency. The scene is a struggle, uhm, it’s a race. Also, what you did was horizontal. Don’t be afraid to explore the vertical. And don’t learn the words. Let the words learn you.

(Joey ponders on this for a while)

Joey: (suggesting) Couldn’t I just sleep with the producer?

plein de chose a raconter
21/12 O'Sullivans !
...
c'est des cernes ???

Vu ce soir : "A la croisée des mondes, La boussole d'Or"

Niveau adaptation du livre ... comment dire ... "it simply sucks" !

Niveau doublage français ... comment dire ... "it simply sucks" !

Niveau jeu des acteurs ... very good for Daniel Graig, Eva Green, Nicole Kidman etc... les acteurs expérimentés en fait ... les enfants, l'interpretation est loin d'être exeptionnelle, Lyra a à peine 11 ans et se prend pour la reine du monde c'est ridicule ...

Niveau daemons ... bah c'est mal fait, surtout la voix ...

Enfin groooosse déception, après 6 ans d'attente commune avec Élo, on a voté pour dire que c'était à refaire (le film complet, pas retourner le voir...) Résultat des votes unanimité avec 100% des voix (2 pour 0 contre 0 abstention)

Bref, on a plus qu'a le voir en VO pour au moins profiter des vraies voix ...

Sinon, je vous conseille, The Truman Show (oui c'est pas nouveau mais mieux vaut tard que jamais ...)

... Je lis
Au pain et à l'eau, prêté par Camille

Défigurée, de Rania Al-Baz, toujours prêté par Camille

... J'écoute
La même playlist qu'il y a un an ... mais là c'est moins drôle ...

... Je regarde
Wuthering Heights, avec Juliette Binoche et Ralph Fiennes, tiré de Emily Brönter

... Je déteste
Me lever à l'heure et arriver quand même en retard

... J'aime
Penser que c'est bientôt la fin du semestre / Noël / l'hiver / mon anniversaire (rayer la mention inutile)

... Je me détends
En dormant, en lisant, assis dans mon lit...

... Je pense à
Vous, Toi, Moi, Nous, Eux

... Je cherche
Mon écharpe que j'ai oublié dans l'amphi Heine
