He's No Superman!

James Marsden, Brandon Routh, and Kate Bosworth in Warner Bros. 'Superman Returns'

Look! Up in the Sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, it's James Marsden!

So, it's not to often that one gets to meet a real live 'Superman', but the King of Schmooze came pretty darn close on Aug. 15/06. Just stopping off at the mid-town palace I was greated by giddy servers and bartenders saying, "Cyclops is here!"

Now I'm thinking, "That's not a nice thing to say about 'Insert Name Here'!" but they're actually talking about James Marsden the actor. He did play Scott Summers/Cyclops in the X-Men movies which is where most people recognized him from. So I'm thinking, "Ok, so how hot is Famke Janssen now Jimmy!?".

So being the intrepid news hound that I am, well actually the shameless self-promoter who needs content for my blog .......... but I digress........ I head downstairs to the Library Bar at Hemingways to saddle up to the bar and listen to Jimmy regale the female staff members (who were finished working) with stories of his acting prowess.

Needless to say I didn't want to get in the middle of that so I just stayed off to the side and watched baseball highlights on The Score. I did manage to buy Mr. Marsden a pint of Hooegarden, which is what he was drinking. We then got into a brief conversation about baseball and the Boston Red Sox.

So enough of the bombast! All that to say 'The King of Schmooze is back in the building!'. As we approach the Sept. 7/06 launch of the Toronto International Film Festival, I thought it best to get the creative saliva flowing again. Just to remind people that I am the King of Schmooze!
