Hey! I’ve posted more times in the past few weeks than I have in the year I was released -- err, <i>checked out --</i> of Her Majesty’s guest lodging, all because my pals are keeping more busy than ever, what with books, stories and film offerings. The latest is <a href="https://pleasekillme.com/chris-montez-brian-wilson-50-year-high-school-reunion/" target="_blank">the reunion, after fifty years, of a couple of high school buddies: Beach Boys superstar Brian Wilson and rock ’n’ roll legend Chris Montez</a>. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Attention, pals: <a href="http://musicalroadkills.com/" target="_blank">Nevard Tellalian</a>, the veteran red hot blues and rock ’n’ roll singer, has unleashed a different kind of music this week: her memoir! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Musical-Road-Kills-Tales-Without/dp/1732015511/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1524587830&sr=8-1&keywords=tellalian" target="_blank">Musical Road Kills: And Other Tales. Some with Morals, Some Without</a> is a rollicking read that includes tales of touring, lessons from her illustrious career instructions on how to survive the musical life, portraits of some of the legends she’s rubbed shoulders and shared stages with -- and some good old “names have been changed to protect the guilty” items that should lead to some fun guesswork. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">(I thought I learned all I need about “the rules of the road” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-6jz-pKP0s" target="_blank">from my buddy, Buddy Greco</a>. Our gal showed me otherwise!</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But the heart of the book is based on two relationships in her life, two loves who were lost to the cruelties of cancer. One of them was a legendary punk rocker; another wasn't a celebrity, but definitely made a powerful impact in his time here on this ole planet.</span><br />

Ya can't beat it when a couple of your pals pals of two generations come together, hit it off, and make some kinda history together. And that’s exactly what happened when my old gal pal and comedy legend <a href="http://www.rustywarren.com/" target="_blank">Rusty Warren</a> arrived in southern California from her home in Hawaii, met up with my man (he's been my client and he's been my boss) Burt Kearns and came away with some kind of history.<br />

<br />
Kearnsey and his pal and co-author (on a show business book that I will be the first to tell you about before it hits shelves in 2019) Jeff Abraham had a long lunch and conversation with the famed Knockers Up Gal of party records fame that happened to be timed perfectly with the release of the book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Rusty-Warren-Knockers-Gal-Life/dp/154080268X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1522635858&sr=1-1&keywords=rusty+warren" target="_blank">Rusty Warren: The Knockers Up Gal (My Life Volume 1)</a>.<br />

Now how’s that for a New Year’s Eve treat? A way to head into 2018? And reason for me to leap off my lounge chair and sprint to the teletype in the middle of my round-the-world winter cruise?! TRANSITION, which sprang from the mind of renowned journalist and critic Richmond and was staged on a relative shoestring in a small theatre in Hollywood, stands alongside -- and above -- multi-million dollar productions at the <a href="https://www.centertheatregroup.org/visit/ahmanson-theatre/" target="_blank">Ahmanson Theatre</a> (three of them!) and <a href="http://www.geffenplayhouse.org/" target="_blank">Geffen Playhouse</a>!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
TRANSITION was the world’s first theatrical response to the new Trump era. Featuring masterfully nuanced performances by Harry S. Murphy as Donnie Trump and Joshua Wolf Coleman as Obama, the play had a successful run in March and April at The Lounge Theatre in Hollywood, then returned in June as a hit of the <a href="http://hff17.com/4620" target="_blank">Hollywood Fringe Festival</a>. </div>

Our pal Chris Bearde, one of the greatest comedic talents in television history with a rapier-sharp wit and young man’s rage against injustice, died yesterday.<br />

Chris had many credits, from creating The Gong Show to producing The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour. Most impressively, he wrote the television special <a href="https://vimeo.com/179926806" target="_blank">Elvis,</a> also known as the 68 Comeback.<br />

Pals and gals, it's a bit of a walk from the Alto Nido to the <a href="http://www.theatreplanners.com/" target="_blank">Lounge Theatre</a> on Theatre Row in Hollywood, but let me tell you I’m glad I took the stroll (with a stop or two along the way -- thank you Lost Property Bar, thank you Sassafras Saloon, oh heck, thank you Hungry Cat!) because there is a theatrical experience happening there on weekends that is well worth taking in.</div>

Ray Richmond’s <a href="https://www.pr-inside.com/ray-richmond-s-obama-trump-play-transition-premier-r4577791.htm" target="_blank">TRANSITION </a>is a two-man play (with able assistance from a third) about what might have gone on in the first Oval Office meeting between President Barack Obama and newly-elected replacement Donald Trump. No one know exactly went down in that meeting on November 10, 2016, but Ray Richmond’s theatrical imagining draws out the truths. </div>

To quote President Woodrow Wilson admiring a very different cinematic work more than 100 years ago (the first film to be shown at the White House and one Mr. Trump and his pal Bannon probably watch on weekends), <a href="http://www.plays411.com/transition" target="_blank">TRANSITION</a> "is like history written with lightning, and my only regret is that it is all so terribly true.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And to quote the reviews that came in after<a href="https://www.pr-inside.com/tickets-sold-out-for-saturday-s-world-premiere-of--r4579298.htm" target="_blank"> this weekend’s premiere</a>...</div>

Ray <a href="http://www.adweek.com/digital/ray-richmond-donald-trump-transition/" target="_blank">slammed this thing out with a fury</a> after Trump’s surprise victory, a play in which two actors portray two of the most well-known men on the planet -- and pull it off spectacularly! </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is no farce or impersonation-fest. Harry S. Murphy as Donald Trump wears the red necktie that extends past his flies, but transcends Alec Baldwin’s lampoon (nothing against the bloviating B brother, but I’m sorry, <a href="http://www.trbimg.com/img-57f2ada0/turbine/la-et-st-snl-alec-baldwin-trump-20161002-snap" target="_blank">his Trump</a> reminds me of more of my old pal <a href="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMTUwNDEzOTQ4N15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNDg2MDcyMTE@._V1_UY317_CR123,0,214,317_AL_.jpg" target="_blank">Shecky Greene</a> than Agent Orange). Murphy’s Trump is a characterization, not an impression, which makes it all the more frustratingly real -- and scary, pals. Joshua Wolf Coleman has a less showy role as the cool, principled President Obama, but he’s no less impressive. With a few twists to the speech pattern, he gets the essence of the man. Within minutes, we are no longer in a theatre but the Oval Office.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
No doubt about it, TRANSITION is the political play of the year. It’s got elements of comedy, real drama, and a few moments that bring the theatre to a stunned silence. </div>

And after the bows... well, let me tell ya, more than a few of the oldsters -- yeah, folks my age, what the heck -- in the audience, feared the Lounge Theatre had been invaded by the ruffians on Santa Monica Boulevard. It was the rapper Dylan, who within a few lines of his rap, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/therapperDylan/the-divide" target="_blank">The Divide</a>, had all of us listening intently. It’s the perfect capper on the evening, and sends the audience out into the night with lots to think about.</div>

Marcia Clark, Johnnie Cochran-- even Tupac Shakur and TMZ’s Harvey Levin show up in his viewfinder.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Plot: Product Description: Hunter S. Thompson meets Barry McKenzie in this dark nonfiction comedy about a real-life, legendary but down-and-out tabloid television journalist who heads to Hawaii to film a marijuana travel series, only to become lost in a fog of drugs, sex and paranoia as he uncovers a secret government war to control the marijuana trade. The film touches on the controversial federal prosecution of marijuana advocate Roger Christie and his THC Ministry. </span></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 20px; min-height: 11px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This is a very interesting and hysterical documentary on the reality of WEED. No, not the things growing out of your flower bed; that is unless you live in Colorado. I think this is a prime example of a perfect Documentary. I was thoroughly entertained. I laughed and was very much ducated. I ain’t going to lie, I have smoked a Joint and ate one hell of a Yummy Brownie before. Weed ain’t my thing, but for those who love it, smoke it, or use it as a medical means, I am all for it. It’s a natural plant. If the government was smart, they would legalize it, tax the crap out of it, and sell it like Cigarettes. Our economy would flourish, plain and simple.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; min-height: 11px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This is an experience to watch. Brink Vision has done it again and brought out a very unique film like they tend to do. I really did not know what to expect going into this but was very satisfied in the end. I think it’s a perfect example of the art form of film making through a real person, situations, and the exploration of the human species in all its weird HIGH form.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; min-height: 11px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I can’t speak highly enough about this odd ball non-fiction comedy. A true eye opening trip, pardon the pun, documentary. Mix in all the weird reality of the government, the marijuana advocate Roger Christie, and his THC Ministry, and you have one wild ride of drugs, sex and yes as you would guess, massive paranoia. Now there are two directors both well educated in the form of cinema. Wayne Darwen and Henry Goren. Wayne is a long time journalist and producer, and Henry is a video-grapher. Now something very interesting and wild for all you movie lovers and Oliver Stone freaks, is that Wayne was the inspiration for the character Wayne Gale in Oliver Stone’s masterpiece Natural Born Killers. Now both directors appear in the film under different names, Wayne is Dave High and Henry is Roland Jointz.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This is possibly one of the best documentaries I have seen in a long time. It’s truly original and a perfect example of everything to do in a memorable, wild, over the top and perfect piece of filmed cinema. The reality based ordeal, the characters, the travel log like atmosphere, and the wild comical truths leave a truly lasting impression.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">I feel this is a perfect film. There is no flaw with this documentary. I was thoroughly entertained and it gave me a wild ride, simply put, HIGHly recommend.</span><br />

<br />Hey, you all! Just back from<span style="font-style:italic;"> a year </span>in Kowloon and a pile of news on my desk at the Alta Nido. First release comes from my pals at <a href="http://www.frozenpictures.com/" target="new">Frozen Pictures</a>, who are off to San Antonio, Texas next week to shoot more of their upcoming film on Sixties pop legend <a href="http://www.chrismontezmovie.com/" target="new">Chris Montez</a>, while at the same time announcing to me <span style="font-style:italic;">exclusively</span> a new project which already has lens caps off and production underway.
<br />
<br /><a href="http://www.tommyandlegs.com/">Tommy & Legs</a>, they tell me is "the story of punk rock," told through the lives and work of a couple of childhood buddies from Connecticut who grew up to change and rock the world.
<br />
<br />Back to work at the Alto Nido and see you on the town tonight.
<br />
<br />Consuela kept the place clean but she didn't stick the letter opener into any of the mail.
<br />
<br />Carry on!

Or perhaps Shemp to their Three Stooges. You'll also call him funny, outrageous, even musically inclined. The enigmatic Innes is the subject of a documentary, 'The Seventh Python,' which opens the Sixth Annual Pacific Palisades Film Festival on May 14.<br /><br />'Neil's a great songwriter, a great comedian, and a great philosopher,' says 'Seventh''s director/co-producer, Burt Kearns. 'And all this while rejecting the star-making machinery, which is quite relevant today.'<br /><br />With the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band in 1968, Innes recorded 'I'm The Urban Spaceman,' the group's only hit, which was produced by Paul McCartney.<br /><br />'Neil appeared in The Beatles film 'Magical Mystery Tour,'' Kearns continues. 'He appeared in the last season of Monty Python's 'Flying Circus.' They did a parody of the Beatles called The Rutles. It was brought to 'Saturday Night Live' by Eric Idle in the late 1970s. The Rutles took on a life of its own.' Indeed, when 'Spamalot' arrives in L.A. in July, the Python musical will contain Innes' ditties ('Brave Sir Robin').<br /><br />'Our film is a crowd-pleaser, with lots of laughs and songs,' Kearns says.<br /><br />'How it came together, that's a movie unto itself,' says 'Seventh' producer Brett Hudson.<br /><br />Kearns has lived in Pacific Palisades since 2000... and the documentary has other local ties. Supervising producer Alison Holloway lives here (conveniently, Kearns' wife) and associate producer Joachim 'J.B.' Blunck, an Emmy-winning producer/director and former Palisadian, now resides in Malibu, where producer/musician Hudson (one of the original Hudson Brothers and an uncle of actress Kate Hudson) also lives. And, Kearns notes, 'My son Sam is a production assistant on the film.'<br /><br />...Kearns met Hudson in the late '90s while working on Miramax's 'The Best Money Can Buy'...<br /><br />Kearns and Hudson formed Frozen Pictures, producing documentary-style programming, including 'All the President's Movies' for Bravo, Showtime's 'My First Time,' and 'Adults Only: The Secret History of the Other Hollywood,' which, after Court TV tried to bury it with a Sunday-night airing, pulled in the highest ratings for original programming in the channel's history.<br /><br />'What Burt and I like to do,' Hudson says, 'is not give our point of view. We lay the truth out and let viewers decide.'<br /><br />In 2006, Frozen released the Burt Reynolds comedy 'Cloud Nine.'<br /><br />Kearns got the idea for 'Seventh Python' while working on a doc called 'Death of a Beatle.'<br /><br />'I went to London and traced John Lennon's life,' he says. 'The person I wanted to interview was the guy who played John Lennon in The Rutles.'<br /><br />'As a musician, I listen to his melodies, his harmonics,' Hudson says. 'He's very clever. The guy had fame in front of him on a silver platter and he rejected it. Given my background, I find that unique.'<br /><br />Kearns credits associate Bonnie Rose for playing a key role: 'Bonnie had brought him to Hollywood in 2002. We thought he'd be a good documentary subject.<br /><br />'I don't like what tabloid television gave birth to, this whole culture of stalking celebrities. The film with Neil is an antidote to that, the way he could influence culture and not be a part of it.'<br /><br />...'It's not archival-looking black-and-white footage,' Kearns says. 'You're seeing the Pythons today.'<br /><br />Last summer, 'Seventh Python' debuted at American Cinematheque's Mods and Rockers festival, and has since screened in Chicago, New Jersey, and at the Las Vegas Film Festival, where it won a Golden Ace Award.<br /><br />Up next for Frozen: documentaries on Latin rocker Chris Montez, and on John Lennon's seven-month 'lost weekend' (in Los Angeles) with mistress May Pang. Last year, Hudson conquered throat cancer, and this inspired '<a href="http://www.theklinikmovie.com/" target="new">The Klinik</a>,' about his journey to Germany to get cured. This is also in development, as is the pair's scripted comedy, 'Live From The Gaza Strip.'<br /><br />For now, all eyes are on 'Seventh''s Palisades premiere.<br /><br />'This is literally a homecoming,' Kearns says. 'To be invited to the festival is in itself a great honor. And then to be opening it!'</span></span><br /><br />'The Seventh Python' screens with Jennifer Clary's short, 'The Christmas Conspiracy,' at 7 p.m., Pierson Playhouse, 941 Temescal Canyon Rd.<br /><br />Tickets: <a href="http://www.friendsoffilm.com/" target="new">www.FriendsOfFilm.com</a>.<br /><br />The producers of The Seventh Python have dedicated the evening to the late Dom DeLuise.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Every ticketholder gets a free The Seventh Python poster!<br /></span><br /></div>The Good Story Teamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10959021159128355128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1302696157511932280.post-28961747448215434732009-05-06T13:05:00.000-07:002009-05-06T13:08:56.908-07:00Dom DeLuise<span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap; font-family:'Lucida Grande';font-size:11px;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcVs6PzwdIDqC66FtZK0srJBjtnuEYbXtWWFvGe1zKdbh5DnzqGbjqyX-o7suJ59o_PE78RluvywmviOQns0I6Wiz0wIGEetp_Yy0xvmhEdeACT5ReAFvKKi0nLsh8G-R8VXgreyPkDD0/s1600-h/zzzzzzzzzzzzz.jpg.jpeg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 295px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcVs6PzwdIDqC66FtZK0srJBjtnuEYbXtWWFvGe1zKdbh5DnzqGbjqyX-o7suJ59o_PE78RluvywmviOQns0I6Wiz0wIGEetp_Yy0xvmhEdeACT5ReAFvKKi0nLsh8G-R8VXgreyPkDD0/s400/zzzzzzzzzzzzz.jpg.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332373603172618706" border="0" /></a> <div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=&search_query=dom+deluise&aq=f" target="new">Dom DeLuise</a> was not only a great comic actor and personality, he was a pal.
