No Challenge too Big

Last week Austin gave a performance that could remind some of his performances from JFC, subtle but not quiet, in it he conveyed more than he ever has before on OTH.
With a sparse dialog, it was all Austin to show the fear, guilt, shame, anguish and anger that Julian felt after forgetting Davis in the car.
His silent moments and few chosen word spoke louder than any writer could create and Julian was not a caricature of a boyfriend/husband but a real man faced with a life of actions and their consequences.
His actions at the garage with repaired window was one of the most realistic reactions on OTH.He tapped into the real raw emotion of the what if from his own life.
You can see why Austin pushed for the chance for such an acting challenge this last season.Kudos Mr. Nichols. Keep going for those roles and moments.

And what better way to celebrate California Proposition 8 being struck down as unconstitutional than with a very special Two Wheel Tuesday.

Triple AAA Monday

A little catching up for a Monday.

Staying informed on Informers.Sony has secured a deal with Senator Films for the video distribution and TV rights for Senators films, the first being Informers. Variety is saying that Informers will be released in the first quarter of 2009, but did say it could get moved - now Spout blog says Informers will be released in May. Think there is a lot working off of what happens with Mickey Rourke and his incredible performance in The Wrestler and what happens in awards season . Senator will want to use that good buzz to help bring in more interest for Informers.

But sooner is better than later...

Check out Austin tonight in all hipster glory working his mojo on both Peyton and Brooke? And who knows what will happen with Lucas now that he knows Julian and Peyton were once in love in Episode 6.10 "Even Fairy Tale Characters Would Be Jealous". Let's see how many more people say he looks like Shane West after this episode. One great thing Austin gets more fans each episode he's on.
