Quick, ill-advised drop-by at the marginally disgusting Oki-Dog stand on Fairfax and Willoughby on way home from last night's Variety screening of The Queen -- Monday, 10.9, 10:35 pm. And during the post-Queen screening q & a between host Pete Hammond, and stars Helen Mirren and Michael Sheen (i.e., Tony Blair) at the Cinerama Dome: (a) grainy-blurry photo #1 (b) grainy-blurry photo #2; (c) grainy-blurry photo #3

Mirren and Sheen are insanely good, I was disappointed with Charles, but did anyone notice a shot of him -- this is why I have to see everything twice, I swore I'd remember -- ?I think it was of him, match framed into close up, deep in though, turning in suspended time toward and then away from camera, teetering extremely close for a long time to eyelining straight into camera -- it doesn't just squeak by, it's intense.

Ah, good ol' Oki Dog. I used to work at a bar around the corner on Melrose, and a few nights a week after closing, when everyone was well-lubricated, we'd drive over to Oki's for their triple chili cheeseburgers. That's something you'd never eat sober and usually we were too drunk to register the mild food poisoning afterwards. Thank god that bar closed or I'd have been dead of a heart attack ten years ago if I'd kept up that routine. Met the most interesting street people there, though. L.A. is an entirely different city after dark.
