Normally, I balk at paying more than $4.99 for a rental on iTunes, but in the spirit of supporting up and coming writers/producers/production companies, I rented 'Loosies' for $9.99. Technically, it won't be released until January to theatres, so this is a pre-release, which is sort of cool.

Yes, the writer/producer/production company is Peter Facinelli. What? I'm a sucker for a brunette!

I loved it. I really, really did. The story is original, the script is brilliant, the acting is spot on and the whole thing was just really well played on all accounts. And hey, Joe Pantoliano ladies, is honestly one of my favourite actors. And Michael Madsen (Kill Bill and about 5 million other movies) is in it too! I like when actors I haven't seen recently suddenly show up in a movie/tv show and I had no idea!

But yes, I totally rented it because it was Peter Facinelli. And well worth it, on that front! He was very Coop-ish and adorable for most of it. I was also reminded yesterday that it was his birthday and that he is only 9 and a half years older than I. And has a 14 year old daughter (not to mention 2 others). Sometimes, I feel incredibly underaccomplished in life.

Bill Bailey tomorrow! (totally unexpectedly!)

Movie sounds entertaining.

But Bill Bailey? You going to see him? Renting a vid? Having him over for tea? I adore Bill Bailey! The man is brilliant! He never fails to make me laugh out loud.

He's performing in Leicester tonight and a friend has an extra ticket that's going spare.

Sorry, I got distracted today by a new book manuscript!

Bailey was brilliant. The friend I went with wasn't overly impressed and thought it was a bit too preachy, but since that's not comedy I mind, I loved it! He had a bit of trouble playing to the audience; I've found the Leicester audience is a little...slow when it comes to comedy. They don't always get the interactive thing very quickly. Still, I was out of breath from laughing for most of the 2.5 hours, so there's that!

LIke anything, I guess you either enjoy that brand of humour of not. And I most certainly do. The show was 'Dandelion Mind' might be clips on YouTube or such.
