As I mentioned in my previous blog, I went on Thanksgiving vacation (actually I just returned), thus the reason behind my "tardiness" in presenting this November 20th Monk/Steinhoff weekly videoclip. It looks like this will be my second-to-last Monk/Steinhoff videoclip, as after November 27th's Part 1 episode of "Monk", there remains only Part 2, after which "Monk" will be no more. Perhaps Tony Shaloub will go on to new roles that won't be overshadowed by his "Monk" character, although it is hard to imagine. Perhaps it would work if he were to take the entire "Monk" cast with him on his next project?
Tempered Enthusiasm
Unless Matthew Perry was subtly telegraphing to me in advance something of a significant nature contained in the "Seinfeld Reunion"/"Curb Your Enthusiasm" season finale on November 22nd (see my "Curb" finale suggestion in my October 25th blog), I am totally huge in relation to creative decisions that went into this historic episode. When I suggested tinted car windows, my specific intention was to provide a way to touch on the idea of privacy at the strata inhabited by Larry David, Jerry Seinfeld, Matthew Perry, Paul Newman, etc. I believe I have succeeded: David's statement appears to be that certain approaches to privacy can inflict feelings known to all.
I now intend to redirect my focus to automobile glove compartments. I believe that if things keep going the way they seem to be in the world, the entire human race will, sadly, be able to fit into one glove compartment, with room to spare. This metaphoric approach may serve to help us all wrap our minds around the unthinkable (as metaphors often do), a grim necessity if we are to apply ourselves to the task of saving the planet. I have no problem with power windows or rear view mirrors.
Thick As A Rock
I plan to provide a videoclip regarding Joseph Gordon-Leavit and his recent "Fallon" and "Saturday Night Live" appearances, as I found these shows to contain inside-references to a particular music video of mine. Unfortunately, the opposite of Thanksgiving vacation is calling me at the moment, i.e., can't right now. I believe there to be a "Smallville" tie-in with this as well.
If These Cars Could Talk
On my way to work on Thursday, November 19th, I thought I saw Katie Holmes driving alongside me. This is particularly interesting for several reasons:
- I may be responsible for the fact that Katie Holmes first met Tom Cruise
- I saw a magazine cover a few days ago that stated she and Tom had public differences, causing her to walk out on him
- Stuart Cornfeld, to whom I occasionally refer in my blogs, runs a film production company (Red Hour) with Ben Stiller, which is making a movie with Tom Cruise ("The Hardy Men")
- I am currently working on my Spielberg "project" (as referred to in my October 30th blog), and Tom Cruise starred in two Spielberg movies regarding which I was an influence ("War of the Worlds" and "Minority Report")
