A Very Mooby Christmas

We got halfway through the Mooby boardroom scene today, and it was arduous. Please remind me to never write something with action in it - that I have to direct myself - ever again.

The twenty set-ups aside, the performances were great. That scene's very much the centerpiece scene o' the flick, in many ways, and the Oscar Twins pulled it off quite well. And while Ben's doing what Ben does best (deliver my - or any, for that matter - dialogue), Matty's the real discovery, inasmuch as how funny he can come across on film. The cat was always a witty bitch OC, so I guess it's not that big a surprise here - I'm thinking more for all the folks who now know him only as good Will.

A shout-out goes to Stephen at InPittsburgh, for one delightful story about the family Askew. Tremendous stuff, and a cover-shot to boot.

On the morrow, it's more Mooby action (including my first squib hit). I'll check back with a wrap-up of the two-day shoot-o-rama then.
