Hi all,
Just got word from Mike Bazini, lead singer of Dystopia One, that they
have a new website: www.dystopiaone.com where you can get an .mp3 of the
song, "Steve Buscemi." Check it out when you get the chance.

I finally got to see it. I was nearly in tears from laughing so hard before
the opening credits were even over with. Great movie, but I wanted to see
more of Steve.
But then again, don't we all? *grin* I'll definitely be picking up the
soundtrack tomorrow.

I'll definitely be there when it comes out. I'm going to try and be there
when _The Real Blonde_ opens up too. We'll see where TRB is playing by
me. Of course, I did drive an hour and 45 minutes to Los Angeles just to
see _Living in Oblivion_ on opening night. I would have done the same for
_Trees Lounge_, but I had family emergencies that prevented me.

Hey there everybody,
I just wanted to tell everyone that in the new issue of Premiere magazine (the
one with Skeet Ulrich and three other actors on the cover) there is an article
on The Big Lebowski. Jeff Bridges took a camera and took pictures of the
actors on the set. There's a picture of Steve outside a bowling alley with
Peter Stormare. He's wearing a hat and sunglasses and he's picking his
ear!

I was just asked by someone if Steve's nude scene was done by him or if a body
double was used. I hadn't ever thought about it, to be quite honest. Does
anyone know?

Hi,
If you're asking about the scene in FARGO, I believe that a body
double was used. Maybe not as much for a better looking body, but for
the stunt work (he did get thrown across the room, naked -- ouch!).
How do I know it wasn't Steve? Call me obsessed, but one day I decided
that I had to know, and watched the scene at slo-mo. So, I'm pretty
sure it wasn't him.
OK, I'm pissed -- I just found out the THE REAL BLONDE isn't opening
here (boring Milwaukee) tomorrow. I pray that it'll be out here the
next week & I get to see it & THE BIG LEBOWSKI, back to back.
Although, it may never get here since THE GINGERBREAD MAN never did --
I still don't know why that was! So, everyone that sees it tomorrow,
please tell us about it. About Steve & his part, that is.
Oh, and anyone who has the FX channel and would like to tape the
"Miami Vice" Steve episode for me Friday is welcome to! Just kidding
(not really) ;D ! Anyways, anyone who happens to see that, please tell
us about Steve in it.
And who else is irritated that when E! showed the BIG LEBOWSKI
premiere party there was no Steve to be found! He was there -- why
didn't they show him? I'm starting to think that E! has something
against him. When they showed some of the WEDDING SINGER premiere they
had the nerve to show Jon Lovitz, but not Steve! Jon Lovitz ??!!! And,
when they did a piece on ARMAGEDDON they talked to what seemed like
every cast member but him! They even spoke to Peter Stormare and
Jessica Steen (Stern?)!!! What's up with the up with that?! I'm glad I
got that off my chest! :D
Later,
Kelly

Hi Everyone,
When I first read Liisa's post about nudity and a body double, my mind
instantly flashed to Alex Rockwell's _In the Soup_. There were actually
two places that I can think of off the top that Steve's character is nude.
One is too big a spoiler to those who haven't seen the film, so I'm
deliberately leaving it out. The second is when he's in the bathtub, gets
startled by the guy, and jumps out of the tub. From what I can remember,
I highly doubt that they used a body double for the scene. As I recall,
they had a cut away from Steve, then back to him, but they always moved
the camera in some way to show his face. Not only that, but this is an
indie film. Besides, Steve is in great shape, so why should he have a
double? ;-)
If the post was referring to Fargo, I have no clue and would be interested
in hearing.
Finally, as long as we're on the subject of doubles, does anyone know if
there was a double for the scene where Mr. Pink's head slams into the car
windshield?

There's good news and bad news for those in the Los Angeles area. I was
checking out the calendar section of the LA Times, and found that only 3
theaters in all of LA are showing the film this weekend. The special
engagement screenings (the paper's words, not mine) are being held at the
Beverly Center Cineplex, a Santa Monica theater, and a Century City
theater. Needless to say, I'll be driving the hour and a half to see the
film this weekend, possibly tomorrow. The only question is whether or not
my boyfriend or my mother will be joining me.

I'll rewatch my copy of it as soon as I get the chance and let everyone
know about it. It's ironic that I got ahold of it a little over a week
before it aired again.

Actually, I recall flipping the stations at home, and stumbling upon him
being interviewed by them when _Living in Oblivion_ came out. I certainly
can't be the only person that remembers this even vaguely. I'm not
surprised that they didn't interview him for _The Wedding Singer_ since
he's not an integral part of the film. I'll assume that Lovitz was in
there because he's a former SNL alum. During the piece on _Armageddon_,
I'd be willing to wager that he was busy working on some new film that we
have yet to hear about. The fact that he wasn't shown during the stuff on
_The Big Lebowski_ is definitely odd. How do you know he was at the
premiere? I haven't been able to see anything about it as the cable here
at school is limited to two televisions in the dorms, and we don't get
half of basic!
Finally, did anyone catch the IFC Fridays interview with him and John
Turturro? I have/had it on tape, but I now have to tear up my mother's
house when I go home for spring break to find the thing. It was a great
interview. I found it hilarious that he had such a hard time not laughing
when returning an album to Turturro, like it had all be scripted in such a
bad way that one had to laugh. Anyone else notice that?

Hey,
I sure hope at least a few of us get to see THE REAL BLONDE. The
reviews that I've seen for it have been really mixed. It would be
really cool if it's as funny as LIVING IN OBLIVION.
I didn't see that Steve LIO interview on E!, but I've seen him on E!
before. He was on their "Cannes '96" special, and I've seen him on
other stuff; it's just that it seems like they've been neglecting him
lately. Remember the CON-AIR premiere special? They interviewed almost
all the main cast except him. They did show him from afar, though. I
don't know, maybe he didn't want to be interviewed that time. But, the
main reason that I was pissed at E! is that both the WEDDING SINGER
thing and the ARMAGEDDON thing happened on the same "E! News Daily"! I
didn't really expect to see him at the WS premiere, but when I didn't
see him in that other story I felt cheated, like I should at least
have gotten a glimpse of him!
About the BIG L premiere -- While I can't be absolutely positive that
he was there, because I wasn't there, I do believe he was there
because of this short article that I saw today on the web that said
that he was.
Hi all. I just heard a rumor that Steve is in Baltimore, MD directing
an upcoming episode of Homicide. Anyone know anything more about this?

Hi,
While I don't have any real news about the possibility of Steve
directing a "Homicide" episode, I was looking at some people's posts
yesterday (don't remember where), and came across one where somebody
said that they saw Steve at a bar (in Baltimore) the day before. When
I read this I wondered what he was doing there, maybe that's why.
I have family in Baltimore, if he is there I want to go!!!

Hi,
It's me again. I was flipping through channels tonight and caught the
tail end of a BIG LEBOWSKI piece on "At The Angelica" on Bravo. I let
out a piercing scream of "Nooooooooooooo," when I saw behind the
scenes footage of Steve flicker by. I don't know what it is with me
always just missing shows that have him on them! I was quite relieved
when I saw that it comes back on at either 1:30am or 1:45am central on
Bravo tonight/early Sat. morning. So all of you who have Bravo watch
for him on "At The Angelica" late tonight.
