Hi friends,Sorry I have been gone for so long. There has been so much going on and I can procrastinate better than anyone in the world. We could probably hold a procrastination contest, but we’d never actually get around to planning it. We are currently shooting episode 6 of the final season of Scrubs. I directed episode 5, and I’ll be directing 3 more this season. Bill Lawrence (the show’s creator) is directing 4 himself, so between the 2 of us, we’re directing almost half the whole season. I think you will like this last year; there are a bunch of surprises. Look for the return of almost everyone who’s had a small part on the show. Including my favorite: Hooch. (Who is actually crazy…)
I think it will be really sad when the show is over, but it will probably be time for us all to move on and start the next chapter of our lives. The show has been the most fun job I can ever imagine having; going to work everyday and acting like a nerdy goofball with all your friends is a pretty ideal gig for me. Plus now we have an arcade with classic games like “Paperboy” and “SpyHunter” just in case the job wasn’t sweet enough.
I posted a youtube video on my page of an episode from Germany. It’s pretty funny to watch. I think the same guy does the voice for me and Turk. Scrubs is VERY popular in Germany. Us and Hasselhoff; who’d have guessed it. It’s kind of funny, but as well as the show is doing in syndication in this country, it seems to have really caught on internationally. I’m told we are popular in Israel as well; which makes me (and my parents) very happy.
Many of you have been leaving many kind words about “The Last Kiss” since it has been playing non-stop on HBO. I just wanted to say that that means a lot to me, because it was a movie I really believed in and I’m glad it’s getting a second life on cable. It’s not an easy movie for a lot of people to see, but I think it’s really truthful and honest. And I like that. So thank you.
Movies: I loved “310 to Yuma”. I’m not a giant western fan, but I thought the acting and directing in this movie was pretty flawless. I strongly recommend it. I also saw the documentary “King of Kong” which is incredibly well done. It has one of the best cinematic villains (narrative or documentary) that I’ve seen in a long time.
Singers that are super cool and no one knows about them and who’s music you should buy now so you can brag to your friends that you found them first:
Jay Clifford
William Fitzsimmons
Ingrid Michaelson
All 3 are pretty much all I listen to in my car right now. Also Cary Brothers (one person, not 2 brothers) is touring right now. Check out his myspace for dates; he is amazing.
That’s all for now,
Thanks for all your kind words,
Be kind, rewind,
Be nice,
Let it mellow (only if yellow),
Don’t cut lines,
Don’t do lines,
Peace and love,
zb
