ST. GEORGE THEATRE IS STAR ON “GOSSIP GIRL” – TV & Film – silive.com .

Staten Island Live covers the episode of Gossip Girls that shot on my block.

Not one mention of me, and I actually impacted someone’s life!!!

UPDATE: Gossip Girl is shooting at the St. George Theatre, both inside and out. I’ll try to get some photos later tonight.

Last night I saw this sign in front of my building.

Here is a google map of where they are shooting, come bother the Girls!!!!

You can also see my post on dog and pony show where I make some guesses as to where they are on Staten Island.

Dario Argento’s Suspiria was on tonight and something was up with the DVD or my player got weird. Either way, I video taped it.

I dunno how much I like having the song, so I put up a silent version too.

Watch both below. Let me know your opinion.

I had the following convo with Tavis:

Today i attended a taping of maury. Despite the needless waiting and technical difficulties, i had a great time.

Normally when i think of the show, i think of paternity tests and trannies. Something struck me today. Maury celebrates responsible men.

In a television world that, i feel, demonizes men, the maury staff makes distinct choices to celebrate the men who decide to be responsible.

We all know that the most entertaining part of the show is the deadbeats and jerks, but the directions given to the audience are really the reason the show works. Tv, even talk shows, are productions. As a live audience member, you are setting the tone for how the home viewer will understand the story. When the “bad guy” comes out, you know he is the villain because the studio audience boos. When the victim of infidelity enters, you sympathize because he is cheered for.

It’s kind of like a film’s score. Only the mood isn’t set with music, it’s told to you by a room full of your peers, which creates your attitude. If we booed the single mother, struggling to make ends meet, the home viewer would understand her to be the villain. Whether or not it fit with their opinion.

Thus, the magic of tv, and film too. The viewers experience is shaped, not catered too. Remember that.
