This is philiater's journal. Generally speaking, I hate livejournal. I dislike the friending/unfriending thing and there are some strange individuals that seem to populate it. For now, I'm just posting.
I will update here as often as I update my website. Enjoy.

| » Frank Spotnitz as an Action Figure |
|---|
There was some talk about making Frank an action figure on one of the forums. I actually looked into this a few months back and found a place that will do it from photos. They use 3D modeling and will customize the result any way you want.

| » Just Met Kurtwood Smith in the Security Line at LAX |
|---|
Actually, my brother did. We were in too different security lines and I got through mine much faster. I'm waiting impatiently at the end and notice he's chatting away with some guy while they're stuck behind a tourist who decided it was okay to pack a six pack of Diet Coke in his carry-on.
He came through ahead of my brother and I said hello.
What did you say to him, I ask my brother later.
Not much. But Kurtwood said he was going to Detroit and asked my brother if they were behind a bunch of amateurs (meaning the tourist and security).
Jay said "It's you isn't it?"
"Yeah."
but he was quiet about it. He and I seemed to be the only two who were aware of who Kurtwood was.
We were in a hurry and didn't want to stop him for an auto and I personally think snapping a pic like that is rude. Unless you're REAL paparazzi ;)
Only in LA
I'm sitting on the plane waiting to take off and sipping Diet Coke. Gonna miss it here.

| » The Universal Studios Hollywood VIP Experience |
|---|
I'm still in LA and did the Universal VIP Experience today. It's a tour of the working studio at Universal (lots of Desperate Housewives set time which was completely lost on me because I haven't seen a single episode). There's also a tour of the prop rooms, makeup, sound, etc., as well as getting on rides ahead of everyone else in the park section. We also spent some time on the main floor of the Conan O'Brien show-we stood on his mark for the monologue, lol
I am exhausted, but I'd highly recommend it!
Oh and see picture 3. I ran into FRANK there.

I asked Frank if he ever did a cameo in the series and he said no. Why not? He drew a blank when I asked!

I'm still remembering stories-they're popping up at odd times.
Gillian told the story of the first time she held a gun on a 'monster/bad guy' and she felt so much emotion that tears welled in her eyes. She apparently got 'daily calls' from CC in the beginning about her performance so he could get her to line up her acting to coincide with the idea he had of Scully in his head.
"Scully doesn't cry," he told her.
Rob Bowman told the story about how he and Kim had a friendly rivalry going between them about directing episodes. Kim would tell him he was going to beat him at directing the best episode. Rob told Kim that HE was going to do that.
Rob said Frank called him and told him he should direct an episode he wrote called Momento Mori. Rob said he HATED hospitals and couldn't even walk into the set hospital room. He always shot every hospital scene from the door!. He did NOT want to direct that episode. Frank persisted and told him it would be one of the most important episodes of the year, if not of the series. Rob relented. After the episode aired, Kim Manners called him in tears and said it was one of the best episodes about surviving cancer that he'd ever seen (because Kim himself had survived cancer once). Rob said if KIM told him it was a great episode, then it had to be.

| » Post Event Thoughts |
|---|
Most of the Q&A session consisted of the panelists asking each other questions. They were told ahead of time to think of something to ask all the others.
CC asked what film always makes you cry
Gillian's answer: Dean Spanely
CC's answer-can't remember
Frank said any film where kindness is portrayed in a believable way. To Kill a Mockingbird, and a few others
Rob Bowman said the ending scene of Fly Away Home.
Gillian asked what their first thought was when she told them she was pregnant
CC said "rats"
Rob said he didn't think any one thing, but he did have a bad moment directing Nick Lea to say he was Mulder's new partner. Rob said he felt that, even as young as the partnership was, he felt it wasn't right to give Mulder a new partner. He also said that was scripted before Gillian's pregnancy. Gillian then wanted to know whose idea it was to put her in the trunk in Duane Berry.
Chris related a story about having to hide Gillian behind the grocery counter in one scene. Rob said toward the end she had to always be in the front of a scene so they could shoot her from the neck up.
Rob asked Gillian what it was like to play Scully. Her story was about flying and opening one of the in-flight magazines to see an XF DVD being advertised with her face on it. She said that she separated the show from her private life, so seeing the DVD was a little shocking. She knew then that the show was special.
More later

| » The Charity Event |
|---|
I'll try to post as much as I can remember. I'm having sensory overload big time on how great the event was. IBG rules (but then, they know that)
The Meet and Greet with Frank Spotnitz was so much fun. He would spill a little something and then turn around to see if CC was listening, because he was at the next table. The second time he looked back we all looked over too and CC was watching. We all waved like crazy and then laughed.
We talked a bit about the third movie and there were def. hints about it being mythology. He was asked if the new movie 2012 would have any detrimental effect on the one planned for XF and he said, no, that it could only help. I made the comment that I hoped XF3 wouldn't be a big, CGI mess like 2012 seems to be, and he said no it wouldn't. Thank you Frank.
***Someone (if she wants to out herself, she can) showed Frank the new XF porno in its shiny DVD case and we actually discussed that a bit. He was not aware of it and laughed when we said it was a best seller. This led to a discussion about M&S having sex in XF3. I said NO. Sorry, but no, it would be like watching your parents having sex. He said he thought a number of people would feel that way about it too. But we did all agree that a well lit kiss would be very good. He asked if we liked the ending kiss in IWTB and we said yes!
He asked where we were all from, and I was amazed by the different responses. We are such a diverse and smart fandom. I'm obviously biased.
I'm sure the Q&A info will make its way around. I posted some of the funny things GA said at Haven.
When we got the autographs signed, GA actually remembered me. She also like the photos I had for her to sign and said she hadn't seen them before.
CC was all business, but laughed at the photo I had of him in the Creature from the Black Lagoon costume. He also laughed when I told him that I had a photo of him shirtless from the Malibu triathlon. Lovely man.
Frank was a peach as usual and is clearly the pied piper of XF. I could listen to him talk about XF or read a phone book all day.
Rob Bowman was really funny and a bit bawdy. I had a photo of him directing Elektra and Gillian leaned over and asked what it was. "It's a movie." he said to her,LOL.
Jennifer Garner was also in the photo and I pointed that out to her. GA said "That's Jennifer Garner?" Rob said "YES". They were bantering like old friends.
Oh, and my brother stole Gillian's water glass from the Q&A. I have Gillian DNA!!!
Now the bad news. I can't post photos because I got a new camera that saved all of them onto it's hard disk and I didn't bring the attachment that allows me to download off of it onto the computer. DAMN.
A few of us went to The Cheesecake Factory afterward.
All in all, lots of fun.

CL: How did you turn up on The X-Files?
LT: I went up to see [series creator] Chris Carter to tell him how much I loved the show and I wanted to be on it. He said, ‘Oh Lily, you know’ – this was like the first season – ‘we very seldom hire recognizable people because it stretches our credibility.’ I thought, ‘Well … I’ll never get a part. He doesn’t like me that much.’ Honestly, like four years later or whatever it was, I’m riding in my car and he calls me on the cell phone and says, ‘I just got an idea and I’m writing it right now.’ So it never hurts to go there and knock on the door and tell them what a fan you are.

| » Vince Gilligan from Breaking Bad Mention in an AP article |
|---|
http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iQAmC_O8Ec2pjgF9uSzZMTQLeH7gD9BSPO2O0
A friend was on the mind of Vince Gilligan, executive director of "Breaking Bad," when the role of Walter Jr. was formed. Gilligan said he was thinking of a dear college pal, a man "with an infectious personality," who died in recent years.
"It must have been I wanted to represent him in such a fashion when I created the character of Walter Jr.," Gilligan told a recent industry forum on the hiring and portrayal of people with disabilities. "There was no reason for him to have cerebral palsy. It just seemed like, 'Why Not?' There's no better reason than that, I suppose."
