There might have been some dirty/violent parts that I didn't see. I think I saw a heavily censored TV version of the movie.

They're good for when you want to watch something mildly spooky at night while eating popcorn. :) At least that's what I did! There's also a ghost show about California that seemed to be put together by the same people. That one was great too!<br /><br />I can see what you're saying. The Alan Shore character was a little detached in some of his relationships, although he was a devoted friend to Denny. I always liked Alan, in part because I'm on the same page as him politically. :) He was so intelligent and dedicated to what he felt was right. I wouldn't want to date him, though!<br /><br />Now I'm wanting to watch some Boston Legal reruns...Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-84687485688185148202012-06-24T20:23:05.853-05:002012-06-24T20:23:05.853-05:00As you already know (thank you for recommending it...As you already know (thank you for recommending it), I've watched the 'Castle Ghosts of Wales' and really enjoyed it, so I'll have to catch up on the other ones in the series. :)<br /><br />I haven't seen 'Bad Influence' so I'll have to watch out for that one. I know what you mean about James Spader though. The nasty characters he plays are always memorable, even in lighter movies, like 'Pretty in Pink'. I loved him in 'Boston Legal', but he was definitely portraying a man who was damaged in many ways.Little Gothic Horrorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18315631250163742387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-72761801549440027792012-06-23T23:06:15.428-05:002012-06-23T23:06:15.428-05:00Matt ~ I agree, both of these guys definitely have...Matt ~ I agree, both of these guys definitely have charisma! I'm not even sure which of them has more of it. Rob Lowe is so charming, but James Spader has this almost hypnotic quality about him. Yeah, this was a great movie.

There are a wide range of topics in my blog, but pretty much everything falls under the umbrella of spooky. I enjoyed the process of learning about Tom Fool too! We'd probably be surprised at the sources of a lot of words/terms.<br /><br />I've never watched David Botrell in any of his other roles, but now I want to look him up. Maybe I can find more of him on YouTube. Haha! OK, if I ever come face to face with James, I'll try to keep my cool. :)Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-79189051321868123512012-06-20T22:48:20.279-05:002012-06-20T22:48:20.279-05:00Yes, I did find you initially through my standing ...Yes, I did find you initially through my standing Google Search for Spader.

Also, don't be afraid of James he is a neat guy.

That show was so smart and fun. I liked Chris on CSI Miami, probably just because I like him. :) He was one of the more interesting characters there. I like to watch CSI Miami from time to time. It's fun to laugh at the way Horatio delivers his lines, but I'm nowhere near as entertained as I was watching Boston Legal.<br /><br />Lincoln Meyer! Yikes! Some of those incidents between him and Shirley... Haha! I'm glad he's nice in person, but he sure creeped me out in his role on Boston Legal!<br /><br />I bet James Spader is a tad intimidating at first. I can actually see him and Christian as friends. It seems that people who are a little intimidating often get along well with very friendly people. Although, who doesn't get along well with really friendly people? ;)<br /><br />I just followed you on Twitter. I'm sure I'll find your James Spader tweets interesting! I'm a fan of his, even if he does scare me a bit. :) By the way, did you run across my blog post by searching for articles about James Spader?<br /> <br />Thanks for writing to me too! I look forward to your thoughts on my future blog posts. :)<br /><br />VainGlorySinner ~ A comment was left above about how Tom Fool's outfit might have driven him to murder. I agree that his entire appearance package wasn't helping much! :) <br /><br />The Castle Ghosts series actually appeared to be made in the UK. It would be ironic if the show wasn't even available around where you live! Hmm... I have enjoyed the "Most Haunted" TV series. That one has a group of very nice, respectful psychics and researchers staying in haunted places. Here's a link to some videos of "Most Haunted" <br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/MostHauntedVideos?feature=gb_p13n_ch_rec" rel="nofollow">Most Haunted on YouTube</a><br /><br />I've meant to watch more of those episodes. So far I've only watched their investigation of the Queen Mary.<br /><br />Lady Bethezda ~ You're welcome! :) I'm happy to pass that show along. I'm sure you'll all enjoy it. Well, you'll see a very different side of Rob Lowe in Bad Influence than you're used to seeing in Parks and Rec! Watching him in Bad Influence will be like watching an entirely different person. Let me know what you think after you get a chance to see the movie!<br /><br />D*Cyber Punk ~ Thanks so much! :) I'm sure you'll love touring the haunted castles on this show as much as I have. It really is a fascinating show. I felt like I got to know the characters in each story.

Ch...Our conversation was centered on Boston Legal. Chris commented that the show was a once in a lifetime role, and what a joy it was to have the opportunity to deliver David Kelley's dialogue. Another person congratulated him for having a role on CSI Miami, but we got the impression this was just a job and not something he truly loved doing. As soon as Legal was brought back into the conversation he brightened up again...he really loved doing the show. <br /><br />Another person I bumped into in an airport (we were on the same flight and he sat down across from me in the waiting area) was David Dean Botrell (Lincoln Meyer in a third season arc). He too was just the nicest person, and he spoke about what a joy it was doing that show. We talked for 20-25 minutes...super, super nice!<br /><br />I do have a Twitter account @bgf42. I must say I'm very boring there and mostly just keep track of James Spader comments. As you probably guessed I'm a big fan of his and of Boston Legal. I've met and spoken to James Spader as well; he was very nice, but it took several times saying a few words to him before I felt comfortable saying anything. He can be a tad intimidating at first...but, eventually we were able to have a nice casual conversation for a few minutes. He really was a sweetheart. <br /><br />Another unbelievably nice person is Richard (John Boy) Thomas...I don't think celebrities can get any nicer than Richard. Sorry for my rambling...I am now way off point.

Not that he wasn't anyway. :) I actually saw Christian Clemenson on a recent episode of CSI Miami. He was playing a medical examiner on the show.

After the performance I was standing by the barricades to see the performers (one of whom was James Spader) and guest celebrities leave to go to the After Party. As I was waiting I saw a few folks whom I knew were there because their friend Spader was in the play...Andrew McCarthy came by as did Jerry Seinfeld. These two fellows I expected to be there because they live in the NYC area. The person that caught me off guard was Christian Clemenson! He was doing a show in LA at the time, but flew to NYC for the event. I got his autograph and was able to speak to him for a few moments....what a super nice man h is.timetravelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02374382346482419516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-1214277423978885422012-06-20T13:55:52.208-05:002012-06-20T13:55:52.208-05:00Timetraveler ~ Thank you for your thoughtful comme...Timetraveler ~ Thank you for your thoughtful comments! If James Spader and Rob Lowe had reversed roles in Bad Influence, I think the movie would have felt more predictable. I kept being startled by that behavior coming from Rob Lowe! Especially in that scene where he's recorded himself laughing maniacally.<br /><br />I did recognize Michael's brother! I yelled out loud "Jerry!" when he appeared. :) I always loved Jerry on Boston Legal. He was so sweet, except when he got a hold of that wooden cigarette. ;) I love that he and James Spader are longtime friends in real life! I had no idea.<br /><br />That real sex tape timing is ironic, given the role of a sex tape in this movie. How interesting. I don't think anyone would have judged James Spader for starring in a movie alongside a man who made a sex tape.<br /><br />I can see why this would be one of Rob Lowe's favorite movie roles. Even though I realize he's had serious roles, I'm not used to watching him play characters with multiple dimensions. There was a lot going on in the Alex character's head!<br /><br />Haha! I thought exactly the same thing about Laura running. Watching that scene, I thought how I would probably handle the situation in the exact same way. Just act nice, don't cause any waves with the psycho, and then get the Hell out of there! :) Those contacts could make anyone look scary. He would have been scary without them, but they add that extra creep factor. That scene is one of my favorite moments too. I could watch it one million times and still get freaked out!<br /><br />Raymond ~ Haha! Good one. :) That outfit could be enough to drive a person insane. I was considering if maybe being laughed at all the time made Tom Skelton search for control. Or maybe he was just sadistic, and I shouldn't over-analyze this one!<br /><br />Jeanne ~ I highly recommend this series! I've watched a lot of history/ghost shows, and this is one of the best. I haven't been bored once while watching these. The Castle Ghosts of Wales show was my favorite! I wish more of these would be made. I'm up for some Castle Ghosts of Germany or France!<br /><br />Alexandriaweb ~ I can see why! I found it completely entertaining. If you ever take a ghost tour and blog about it, please let me know! I'd love to read a post like that. I think I remember you being in England. I envy people in Europe who have easier access to castles! When you think of the many centuries these structures have been standing, it makes sense that there should be a few ghosts. :)Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-34649221117532870542012-06-20T10:04:11.078-05:002012-06-20T10:04:11.078-05:00Castle Ghosts was my favourite show when I was a l...Castle Ghosts was my favourite show when I was a little girl :)<br />I really want to do a haunted castles tour and blog about it :)Alexandriawebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09778264974977380013noreply@blogger.com
