oi james, thanks fer fixin me link. speaking of the great gatsby movie, i auditioned to be an extra for it. see, they're having this contest : three actors (1girl, 2boys) must send in a film of themselves performing a portion of the script that was used in the robert redford version. they're supposed to choose 4 winners at the high school level and 4 at the college level, i think. chances of winning are slim fer me group, cause the teacher made me work with some lazy mexican kid that wanted to play the part of tom in the audition tape. he didn't realize til after we'd edited and sent the tape that tom is NOT the story's protagonist. ("listen, chi-chi, you are supposed to be the bad guy. act mean. say that line with a sense of authority." "oh oh. you're right, natalie. i have to make the great gatsby know that i am the man. i am the good man, and he is like the dirt of my sandal. gatsby is evil. not even worthy of a stale tortilla.") so much fer my break into showbiz. i spose i'll have another chance. maybe tomorrow...
