Someone help me, I can't be stopped. The Titus show awoke a need to see and laugh and love again. I got tickets to Joel McHale for the Saturday before Easter. I swear at the time it didn't seem like a bad idea at the time. But it was a birthday present from my man, so I said yes please.
It was in Santa Rosa so we stayed the night in town. It was a nice stress free trip. If course if you were in my family, you'd realize this is not a stress free time and we have soooo much crap going on right now with Easter and my brother's wedding and various work related problems. I guess I can take solace that we all have jobs to stress about.
Anyway, stress free Joel McHale fun. We get to the venue and extra bonus: Chris Hardwick (former Singled Out host and current Attack of the Show contributor) is the opening act. When we sat, I knew we had the worst seats in the house. But it was an intimate venue, so it was enough. It only sucked bcasue all of the seats were the same price.
Before the show started, there were announcements of upcoming performances. Again, I have to be stopped. I wanted to run out and get tickets to Frank Caliendo. I wanted to be a nucklehead. My boyfriend is trying his best to keep me in check.
So we saw Chris and we saw Joel. I feel bad becasue I think Chris was better. He is a nerd and he speaks my language. While Joel was funny, it was mostly an expensive episode of The Soup without visuals. Still worth it, but it's easier to calm down my need to get tickets to everything. But I still have to see the shows that I aleady have tickets for. Next stop, David Sedaris. Hell yeah!

Who Watches Nite Owl II's Pants?
I know it's a strange question, but seriously does Patrick Wilson ever keep his pants on? I swear I'm not complaining, but it seems to be an ongoing theme with him. I saw Watchmen recently. Yep, there's his ass. Just to be safe I read the source material and seeing his ass was "essential to the character." Or at least it helped with remaining faithful to the graphic novel.
He's hasn't been in many movies, so I don't have much to go on. Coincidentally, I rented Hard Candy and Little Children in the same trip to Blockbuster. I didn't know he was in both, but it was a strange transition to watch. In Hard Candy, he's an alleged pedophile who gets punished in a graphic way. I don't remember what is shown, but there is a scene where there is an impromptu surgery and some parts of his anatomy are extracted. I know his pants had to be off for what was implied. Please don't make me watch again to verify.
Now in Little Children, it's a step up. There is a pedophile played by someone else(Jackie Earle Haley/Watchmen's Rorschach for those of you keeping score) and Wilson's character has an affair with Kate Winslet. Yep, sex scenes galore. That's two. Or three I guess.
I looked him up on imdb and found it was him that was in the Gap commercial with Claire Danes. There was dancing, music from Annie Get Your Gun, and, wait for it, the removal of his pants. Interestingly enough, he is in the movie in Evening also with Claire Danes. I'd put good money on his pants being missing sometime in the movie considering I know from the story there is a love scene between the two characters. I'll get back to you when I know the results.
To cap it off, I looked at his theater credits. Yeah, The Full Monty. There's a clip on YouTube of him performing the famous scene for the 2001 Tony Awards. I tried to watch it twice and chickened out both times. To be fair, one of the times I was at work. Then again, it's an awards show. What can they possibly show?
Finally I found that he was in Angels in America. He plays an sexually confued Mormon. I am so there. I don't know if he takes his pants off, but I'm willing to invest mini-series time to find out. (It won some Emmys or something right?)
It's abundanlty clear that since I'm dedicating a full post to him, he will be added to my list. You are correct sir. But if this trend begins to reverse and more famous he gets, the more modest he becomes. I might have some issues. Though I don't think I've seen full frontal yet. At least he's still a step ahead (or behind, depending on how you look at it) of Jason Segel.
