Just a question

[sgorny]

I've been away from LJ for a while, except on an extremely limited basis, so I really have no idea what's going on in the fandom. It could be all roses & chocolate, or imploding stars, and I'd be none the wiser.

But I had a question, one that I discussed with qafbliss, and I wanted to see what everyone else thought (assuming anyone still reads this LJ).

What do you think Gale will do now that QaF is over?

He seems drawn to independent films, but none of them have been well received commercially. He does movies that are interesting to a small market only. In "The Unseen" (which I haven't seen, just the trailer), he portrays someone I really don't think I'd like much (although I could be wrong). I'll watch it because he's in it, but only because of that. Rhino Eyes has not been released, and Wake is the only one you can buy commercially (and you'll get a burned DVD-R with a printed label on the front for your money). Whatever happened to the movie with Margaret Cho? Society Girl, or something like it? I really like her, and would like to see that. And what about "Fathers & Sons"? I know he has a movie coming to Tribeca (I forget the title now). Does he have other projects in the works?

I'm now going to prove what a bad fan I am by forgetting the name of the TV show he played the doctor on (L&O:SVU?), but I was only a marginal fan of him in that. However, I loved him as the drugged out rocker in Street Time.

Do you think that he'll continue to shun more commercial ventures, concentrating on independent films, and sort of slide out of the public eye? Fade away into obscurity? Except for us rabid fans, of course? Or what?

I think he'll probably continue to do projects that are interesting to him, even if they aren't to the general consensus. I think he's fabulous in anything he does, he's just such a great actor. I loved Wake, L&O:SVU, Particles of Truth. I haven't seen much else of what he's done (I'm desperate to see Street Time!) but I know it won't matter much because he's great! [/gush]

As for you, I miss you terrible and I want to call you but I'm always afraid I'll catch you at an inconvienent time or you'll be super busy or won't want to talk to me. How is life treating you?!

Life has been crazy. I have to turn my phone off most times at work, and often can't return calls until after work (around 6-8 pm, depending on the day). But it might be slowing down a little soon. I'm off next Monday, and then Tues & Wed of the following week. So call then! I'd love to hear from you!

I might have Street Time on DVD - I don't remember. I know I have it on VHS. If I do, I'll burn it for you. If I don't... well, maybe someone else will have it, and we can both get copies!

I'll make sure to mark on my calender to give you a call okay? :) I can't wait!

I'd really appreciate if you could check for it. If you dont' have it we'll search the internet in search of someone that does have it.
