What are some shows that are currently casting?movie theater



Most network and cable shows are currently casting, but you have to be signed with an agent to have a shot. To get an agent you need lots of training and a pretty good resume of theatrical experience, student %26amp; indie films, etc. to even be considered. To do any of his you need your parents full support not to mention funding and transportation.

Depends on where you live. If its New York, try backstage.com. For me, it seems like shows are always auditioning, so you need to do some research.
Yeah, if you don't tell us where you are looking, it's kind of difficult for us to be a big help.



The monthly magazine Ross Reports is a must to know the latest projects.



Backstage West or East also has the latest projects casting.



Show Business Weekly also has an update.



Also if you look on some of the biggest and most informed casting web sites, you will get a glimpse of what is up and coming.



And the Hollywood Reporter will give you information about what is coming.



One of the best ways, however, is if you have an agent, who will always get the latest breakdowns (descriptions of what roles are being searched for, for what programs, films, commercials, etc. and the types of actors they are looking for.



Hope that helps!

Shaw Carpet Plush shows everything.?

I have had new carpet installed. (Shaw Queen plush) This carpet shows every line foot print and mark even the vacume lines. The carpet look like it needs to be stetched but it has been all ready. The taped seams are awful!



I have holes where the power stretcher was put to stretch the carpet. Has anyone else here had simular problems with their carpet install?



Shaw Carpet Plush shows everything.?home theater



Footprints and vacuum marks are normal for plush carpet. They are something you are probably going to have to live with.



It is not unusual to have to have wall to wall carpet restretched in a large room. Humidity will cause the carpet to "grow". This is to be expected and your installer should be willing to come back and restretch it. Make sure you wait a reasonable length of time so the carpet can have a chance to aclimatize itself to your environment.



Get down on your hands and knees and have a close look at the "holes" where the power stretcher grabbed the carpet. If the installer stretched the carpet too aggressively, the woven backing will be torn or severly distorted. If the carpet was stretched correctly, vacuuming the perimeter of the carpet should "erase" the "holes". If it was stretched too aggressively, and the "holes" can't be erased, the installer may have ruined your carpet.



Carpet has a "grain", just like any fabric. When seaming two pieces of carpet, the grain should run the same way or the seam will stand out like a sore thumb. While it is not unusual to change the grain direction in a closet doorway or other very small area where the change won't be noticeable, changing the direction in a long seam in the middle of the room is not correct. It can take an experienced eye to make the determination that the carpet was improperly laid according to grain direction. Even if it was laid correctly, you may see evidence of the seam for a while. Again give it some time and vacuum across the seam frequently. I shouldn't take long for the seam to disappear of it was laid correctly.



Another problem you could have with the seam would be if it seperated when the carpet was stretched. Again on your hands and knees, part the carpet along the seam. You will quickly find where the pieces are joined. The seam should be tight. If the seam came apart when the carpet was stretched, you will know it.



Read any warranty provided by the entity from whom you purchased the carpet. It may give you some idea of what you can expect in the way of satisfaction.



Good luck with your new flooring.

Just How 鈥楻ealistic鈥?Are Reality Crime Shows Like C.S.I.?

I know the producers and writers take great care to use the right medical terms and show the proper investigative processes both in the lab and out in the field. And they use medical advisors.



But just how realistic is it all?



I spent enough time around crime labs and at on-site crime scenes to know that something is very wrong with the portrayal of 鈥榬eality鈥?crime shows. Too many of the crime scene investigators are much too young and much too physically attractive to reflect reality. And the lab technicians are equally too young and too attractive.



Where were all these babes and hunks when I was in that line of work?



What I saw was a lot of balding, middle aged men and frumpy, equally middle aged, women in the labs. As to crime scene investigators these detectives earn that position through rank and seniority and it would be extremely rare to find a younger investigator on a crime scene team in a large city.



Reality or half-reality? What do you think?



Just How 鈥楻ealistic鈥?Are Reality Crime Shows Like C.S.I.?amc theater



not very. Lol for one thing all these girls walking around in heels and skirts wouldn't happen. You walk into a crime scene wearing hair nets and booties. Also the investigators dont do all the stuff they do on the show. they just bag and tag then do some lab work. they dont solve the entire crime right up to trial. Also they wouldn't go right in and just start looking around. As soon as you get to the crime scene you have your name and title written down and fill out a ton more paperwork. I think the reason that most people involved in CSI stuff are a little older is that so many of them begin their careers as cops then work up to it.



Just How 鈥楻ealistic鈥?Are Reality Crime Shows Like C.S.I.?concerts opera theater



haha, don't look for realism on tv. No, CSI and L%26amp;O and the rest aren't close to reality at all. It takes months to get all those lab tests back and people in the lab rarely if ever go to the scene of a crime, etc. But it wouldn't be good tv if people had to wait 6 months to find out what happened in the first episode's crimes.
CSI is not a reallity crime show. All the equipment %26amp; techniques they use are real, But the stories are total fiction. The Spike TV show Murder is a reality crime show. You can see the episodes at http://www.ifilm.com Each episode is based of an actual murder case. The two teams of three have 48 hours to collect %26amp; process the evidence, hear the coroner's report %26amp; ask questions, view the actual interrogation recordings, develop a theory %26amp; evidence to back it up. The host of the show is a real homcide detective. It was on Saturday nights, but not anymore for some reason.

Viewsonic vx2235wm - Movies/Shows/Streaming are very blocky but games looks crystal clear...?

i just bought a Viewsonic vx2235wm http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as... and when i play videos(retail dvd's in my dvdrom, downloaded .avi's(xvid/divx), winamp shoutcast tv streaming) it is very blocky but when i play games the picture looks great.



any info explaining why the picture is blocky when playing movies/tv shows would be greatly appreciated. I am using the provided DVI cable it came with. would i get a better picture with a dvi-d cable over the monitors provided dvi cable?



(i do have the latest video drivers and latest k-lite codec pack)



THX!



Viewsonic vx2235wm - Movies/Shows/Streaming are very blocky but games looks crystal clear...?movie theatre



TV and DVDs run at 480 lines. So a widescreen DVD is a resolution of 853 by 480.



So you have about 2X the resolution of the highest quality a DVD can run at. Compression too can make the video look blocky as it reduces the colour depth.



Downloaded videos are even worse, as they reduce the resolution and increase the compression to decrease the amount of storage and bandwidth needed.



I do not think that you have a monitor problem. I think that your shiny new high resolution monitor is showing you how poor your video quality is.



If you want to test it, go to Yahoo Movies and download some of the 1080 or 720 HD trailers, an see what they look like.

The problem is that TVs are low quality displays: they are only about 320x240. You are displaying these low TV-quality DVDs and downloads on a high quality display, that is capable of 1280x768, or better! The high quality display makes visible the low quality of those videos. If you had videos and DVDs that were meant for HD-TV, there would not be any blockiness.

Transfer Tivo movies/shows to computer?

I just downloaded Tivo Desktop and I was wondering, is that the same thing as TivoToGo? Also, now that I have Tivo Desktop, how do I get movies and shows from the Tivo to my computer? I can get music and pictures from my computer to tivo, but I can't get anything from the tivo. Please help!



Also, I have a macbook, if that makes any difference. : )



Transfer Tivo movies/shows to computer?imax theater



I'm not sure if it's the same on a Mac as a PC, but if it is, here we go:



First, you need to have your Tivo hooked up to your home wireless network.



Open Tivo Desktop and there's a button called "Pick recordings to transfer." It should bring up a list of recordings on your Tivo box. Pick the ones you want to move to your computer, then hit "start transfer". It will move the recordings to your computer, but you can only view them on your computer if you have a DVD burner. Hope that works for you!



Transfer Tivo movies/shows to computer?classical music opera theaterTiVo to Go and TiVo Desktop are totally different. There is no sanctioned way to transfer programs from TiVo to a Mac other than a program you can buy for $100 from Roxio. I'm trying to find out how to transfer programs to my mac as well. Report It

Awards? Cw Tv Shows?

So I'm wondering. I'm sitten here watchin the Emmy's. is there any type of awards shows for the CW network? Nobody on the CW has been on? do they have their own, if so when?



Awards? Cw Tv Shows?dream theater



No. The CW is up for the same Emmys as the other television stations. It only got one nomination for Smallville in a technical category (outstanding sound editing for a series).



http://emmys.org/awards/2007pt/59pte_nom...



http://emmys.org/awards/2007pt/59thnomin...



It seems that the CW suffers from the same lack of respect that the WB got. Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars so deserved to be nominated, but never were. People tend to see it as a teen network and not on par with the heavy hitters, especially with the cable networks like FX and HBO.
