His Bachelor Party Gone Wrong...But Oh So Right

He's shown us scantily-clad women spewing corn.

He's warned us about the perils of answering "Coke" in a Pepsi Challenge.

He's delved into the world of a man who cheats on his wife with a vacuum.

And now DT favorite Matt Johnson (C'99, Mask and Wig, Phi Kappa Sigma) wants you to be careful about who you hire for your buddy's bachelor party.

Watch Exotic Dancer and see what I mean (this is good)!


There's something just wrong about what you're about to see...and I say that in a good way!

Now and Then Thursdays: Busted In Front of Tom Hanks

The other day I wrote a post about a big sci-fi film that will be shot on Penn's campus this summer.

An alum by the name of "Dara" then made the following comment (which by the way is an entry into our May Contest*) and mentioned:

"I remember when Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington shot the library scene of "Philadelphia" at Furness. I walked to the library with a friend very early one morning to try to catch the stars, but no such luck!"

I too (Matt Rosler, C'96) was actually on campus for the filming of Philadelphia during early January 1993 for Mask and Wig's Spring Show rehearsals. I managed to sneak in while they were filming and got into a bit of trouble...

Read more about it here!

I remember one night a bunch of us Mask and Wiggers snuck into Furness and went up to the balcony area looking down to where they were shooting. I saw Tom Hanks sitting at one of the tables in Furness. I think he was wearing one of those soon to be popular red and blue Penn felt hats (see image to left). At the time I had my big EOS Rebel Camera with the 300mm telephoto lens and attempted to shoot a picture without a flash.

To this day, I remember the moment after I shot that photo I heard a walkie talkie go off saying "Get that kid's camera". I panicked and some assistant approached me and demanded I remove the film. I think I had convinced her not to make me remove the film and somehow my friends and I raced out of Furness through some emergency fire door.

The next day I went to develop (yep, I said develop) the photo, and to my dismay the photo didn't come out because it was too dark. But the memory lives in my head!

(*FYI, Dara needs to make sure to leave her last name and email address on her comment if she wants an entry to this month's contest!)

From her Vanity Fair Cover to THIS New Magazine Cover

Okay I literally just hit publish on my Liz Banks (C'96) article that she's been named People magazine's "100 Most Beautiful" for 2008 and now just got word that she's on this week's Entertainment Weekly Cover for her upcoming role as Laura Bush in the George Bush "W" film by Oliver Stone.

It's pretty cool seeing her on the cover and I will say she does look like Laura Bush...

The Pulitizer Center on Crisis Reporting Commissioned Them

Last week I covered Jim Goldblum (C'07, 34th Street)'s story about his virtual Katrina Yearbook which CNN said, of all the press coverage and all the documentaries, it was "one of the best of the best."

If that wasn't cool enough, the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting had since commissioned Jim's Yearbook 2006 team (Jim, his brother, and his staff photographer) to create a new interactive website called "Hope: Living and Loving with HIV in Jamaica."

Per Jim,

"The interactive follows poet Kwame Dawes as he returns to his country of Jamaica to meet and write about the people on the island living with HIV/AIDS. On the site you can read the poems and then see documentary photos, videos, and music, which allow you to meet the people who inspired Kwame's beautiful words. The site has gotten great press in The Atlantic, Virginia Quarterly, Huffington Post, and Trendhunter."

Watch Jim's promo video for his website


Jim's documentary style reminds me of some of Loren Mendell's (C'95) documentary work.
