So I saw Timothy Hutton today and didn't even blush or freak out or jump him. I'm proud of this fact. It takes a strong woman to not pin him down and kiss him. A lot worse could have happened.
At one point during my severe Sloan obssession, I was on the second floor balcony overlooking a concert situation below when I saw Patrick Pentland walking through the crowd on the lower floor area. It took everything in my power to not jump off the balcony and tackle him. Really, the only thing stopping me was that I thought I would kill him (it was an unnaturally high second floor and he was on cement), or that I would miss and look like a suicide, and it took me a few minutes to convince myself that was the right decision. You're welcome, Pat.
Back to Timothy Hutton.
They're filming something else at my workplace (last week it was a Smallville episode) and when we got the email about filming in one of the areas where I work I got a sick feeling in my stomach. Some of you may remember the Al Pacino incident; bitterness lingers. I looked up this movie on IMDB and was pleased that the most famous person listed is Joely Richardson, who I couldn't care less about. I thought she played Zoe Busiuk: Wild Card and when I found out it was a different person I felt nothing. Less than nothing. I was void of feeling anything about her. I thought it was a kids' movie. Basically I just hoped the crew wouldn't be as bastardly as the last movie crew we had, who blocked up the toilets with at least 5 floors worth of (pardon the expression) crap, which may have included paint and articles of clothing but it was never confirmed. Then this morning we got an email reminding us of the filming today involving Joely Richardson and Timothy Hutton.
What?! Timothy Hutton!?!
There were mumblings among the crew that he wouldn't be here until after 5pm to shoot his scenes. I was disappointed because, you know, he's dreamy and stuff. But I was still hopeful. I had to cover reception, right in the middle of the chaos of dollies and cameras and cords and things I can't even begin to make up uses for and so many people. Then, while I read a story about the Duke lacrosse team getting hauled in by forensic police to find out which ones raped an exotic dancer, out comes Timothy Hutton looking exactly the way you would hope him to look, only a little older. Sigh.
He looked at me, or at least in my general direction since I was the only person there, and then went off to the next office area to check out the other set. My heart was ready to burst, covering his white buttoned shirt with the love only an 9-year-old girl can have for someone in a movie (I vaguely remember watching "Taps" 16 or 17 times, but only when he was on because he was so cute. I had a similar feeling towards C.Thomas Howell and, later, Christopher Barnes who had a Timothy Hutton-ness to him). But it didn't.
This brush made me think of the guy I went out with a couple of times who looked a bit like a younger Timothy Hutton. That didn't work out because he seemed to be drunk every time I saw him; the relationship felt a bit limiting when only one of us could focus. Timothy Hutton-ness only goes so far in your favour.
Oh, last night I went to We Are Scientists and, even though it was a bit hipster, it was so good. Keith the singing/guitar-playing boy was outstandingly cute. (I use cute a lot, don't I? I don't care; he WAS cute!) The Grapes were one of the openers and the only reason I liked them was because the singer jumped the whole time they played. Like, high kicks and '80s aerobic-type moves (a nod to Jane Fonda, really). And she convinced the crowd to chant for We Are Scientists to do the splits. They didn't. Then the crowd chanted for them to take their pants off (straight guys made the suggestion...). They didn't. Then the crowd chanted for an encore. I left a few minutes later, but it didn't seem like there was an encore. When you're cute you get away with a lot of shit. Or so I hear.
New hair today! Different colours and a slight cut. People keep asking me if I straightened my hair. Uh, ya. And put so much colour into it I look like the outer half of a rainbow. Cute!
