 IMMA IMMA DIVA October 21, 2009 Hey there all you crazy kids! Danny Ains here, reporting for duty! Before I say anything, I want to apologize for taking so long to update this thing. As most of you know, I’ve been shooting for NCIS as well as promoting for The Boys Are Back (go see it! I know it’s limited release, but go find a way to see it anyway! Carpool! I don’t care if it’s 200 miles away, damn it!) so things have been a little hectic. Oh, that and my iTunes isn’t wanting to work. How the hell can I be expected to write anything when I don’t have any background music!? ANYWAY, enough with the excuses. Things have obviously been going very well and I’m happy to say not only is filming for Fish Tank with the lovely Brianne Monroe (and directed by the just-as-lovely Lucas Hollingsworth. So pumped to work with him. SO pumped.) confirmed and being planned but I have also been signed for a fantastic movie called Coco Avant Chanel (that’s Coco before Chanel for you non-French speaking people.) so obviously I am going to be very busy over the next few years! Which brings up my next point. I did an interview with Esquire a few days ago and they asked me what it felt like to be part of a show that’s such a big hit in the US but not be able to score a significant part in any major movies. Well, first off…offensive much? But still, I figured I’d give YOU guys a preview and let you see what I said which is more or less this: Sometimes smaller films are the better films. I know, I know. I’m going to be hung for that, but I select my films not on the budget but on the script, who is doing it, what the story is like, how well I think I can portray the character. It just so happens that most of the projects I’m drawn to are either ensemble pieces, or more “indie” type of films that are bigger in Europe than here… That, or no one wants to sign me to the big films. You know. Whatever. ANYWAY, that is my way of saying I’m really fucking proud of the films I’ve done and I think you guys should go out and see them, not for my sake but because they’re good films. With that said…Yael (I know there’s an accent mark, I just can’t figure out how to make it) Levy is a stink probie. That is all. Peace and taco grease,  PS: Yes, there will be a Halloween blog. INGLOURIOUSLY AMAZING June 25, 2009 Y hullo thur! First and foremost, I want to thank everyone for all the support I’ve been getting for Inglourious Basterds. I know a lot of people were questioning Garret when he choose me for the role, and I know almost as many people were questioning me for taking it, but I am uberexcited about what we did and what Garret is currently doing. The new trailer is out, so check that the fuck out. I was there for Cannes, I saw the movie that premiered there and I’m here to say that the trailer has actually gotten me excited to see what Foxi(ii) put into these last few cuts. Needless to say, it is going to be AMAZING. Hell, I might even get into press with this one, even if Pretty Boy Pitt ends up getting all the good promo slots. Shooting for FNL is on schedule, we’re still starting in August, but I have other new news! HBO recently approached me on doing a new series for them, and after a lot of thought and consideration; I have decided to take the part. Hung will shoot as soon as I finish filming FNL and with any luck will come out next fall. I don’t want to give too much away yet, but it the project is unlike anything you’ve ever seen me in and you’ll probably be seeing more of me than you ever wanted. On a semi-related note, I would like to officially say here that the rumors about me being in the new Terminator movie are completely false. The rumors about me and Foxi(ii), however, are completely true and we plan to get married next spring. Peace and taco grease, May 28, 2009 Heidi Ho all my little minions! I hope everything is well in the exciting and enthralling world of star cyberstalking! For those of you who have been living on the moon (or are just too lazy to tune into the ramblings of a washed-out actor) I am back in L.A. until the next round of openings for I.B. Cannes was AMAZING, if you take away the fact that it was overcrowded, overrated and I had to work the whole time. No, no. I actually really did have a good time. And for those of you who asked, yes, those photos of Garret Fox throwing spit balls at me are real. Needless to say, I will get my revenge, but that’s for another time! The movie is opening in August, and I expect ALL OF YOU TO BE THERE! Ironically, that’s also when we’re supposed to start shooting next season’s FNL. Obviously, I’ll be quite a bit busy for that month and you may not see me at every single premier of IB but I promise to do my best. I’m really excited for both projects, and I can’t wait for you to get to see IB. Even if we didn’t win at Cannes, I still think it’s an amazing movie. And besides, Fox has a lot of editing he’s going to put into it before you even get to see it so get pumped! In non-work related news, I spent the day wearing the awesome cowboy hat I bought in Austin, working on the landscaping of our yard. Exciting, right? I did, however, also get to take Maria to go get ice cream. No, we didn’t go to Pinkberry. FroYo is for sissys. We went to Scoops, which is probably some of the best stuff in L.A., even if a lot of it is Vegan and weird and…Well, we won’t get into that. The point is, it was cheaper than Coldstone (even if I will forever love you Coldstone and your over-priced chain-store goodness!) and a lot more like a neighborhood hangout. Maria ended up with her ice cream all over her face and my shorts, but I think the experience was actually really good for her, and I’m excited to be able to introduce her to other things as well. It’s so amazing to see her really exploring her world and discovering new things. Anyway, that’s about all I have for now. Peace and taco grease, |
