   We always heard that Marlin Brando was a method actor.No one really knew what that actually meant..About 30 years back I read that Lee Strasberg  of Godfather 11 Fame as Hyman Roth along with his daughter ran a method acting school.It was used by all the studios. Ever hear of a dialect couch ..they teach an actor to speak as an Englishman an as  someone from American Southerner or a New Yorker. There is a sub or assistant director known in the industry as a dialect couch to teach a specific actor what to sound like.

    We will tell you this much and by doing so letting the cat out of the bag..That in every movie or T.V.commercial that every gesture…,smile..frown whether it is an expression of joy..sorrow or shock whatever its is scripted. Actors go to a another special school .There they learn all types of expressions Gestures and Motions .. They have an instructor known an expression couch..There in that Hollywood school every gesture known to mankind are taught.The Hollywood studios know more about human nature than any Psychiatrist that ever walked the Earth.When you watch movie and you see someone touch their face quickly comb hair around their ear. everything is scripted nothing is done either haphazardly ..on accident or Improved. When they film a movie these expression couch’s are  standing right to the actor though off camera not seen by the public..they are prompting  the Star for the correct  expression making sure that  its done right. As many as 50 takes can be done before the”‘right smile” is achieved that the head director finds to his liking. Many unacceptable smiles filmed and wind up on the cutting room floor.

    Unlike a Broadway play which is a  continuous Motion Picture is not seamless..It a collection of practical still shots.  I knew back in the late 1960’s a cinematographer clued me in . To be an actor requires an awful of studying both verbal lines and all the gesture and expressions and motions as well. It usually take anywhere from 6 months up year for,an actor to master the script.

    In 1958 actor Denis Hopper while on the set of “Hell To Texas” refused Director Henry Hathaway’s order to play the scripts as it was written. He was being very uncooperative and wanted to act the scene his way. It was only after 85 takes that he finally capitulated and played out the script as the director insisted…For that he was Black listed until he got the role in easy rider co-starring with Peter Fonda.

    I was on then Daily show with Peter Colbert back in 2001.. All though I  never had to learn expressions they were at my house for nearly for 5 1//2   hours.  At least  2 of those hours were to set up and break down then equipment..They filmed  for 3 1/2 hours it was cut back to about a 4 minute piece.. However after all of the editing it still remains a truly fabulous piece of  entertainment well worth watching.  Enjoy the clip just click on the link that I

MY TIP OF THE DAY IS AS FOLLOWS… ALWAYS CARRY A CLOTHES PIN WITH YOU WHENEVER YOU GO OUT TO EAT IN A RESTAURANT! WHY YOU ASK? BECAUSE LETS SAY THAT RIGHT BEFORE YOU DINE YOU HAVE TO GO URINATE AND SOMEONE IS IN THE TOILET A LONG TIME BEHIND THE TOILET DOOR…  CHANCES ARE WHAT THEY ARE TAKING A CRAP .NOW  I’M PRETTY SURE THAT YOU DON’ T NORMALLY CARRY A GAS MASK ON YOU SO MY SUGGESTION IS ALWAYS CARRY A CLOTHES PIN. THIS WILL ENABLE YOU TO LEAVE THE TOILET AREA AND STILL ENJOY YOUR MEAL.BON APETITE!

      The U.S.Health Care is broken..We at the Lerman Report have come up with the solution.

The Affordable Health  Care Act even with the Republican revision is nowhere near the solution.The solution is a very simple in order to rectify this mess we call  Health Care in  America.

 A while back My father received a bill from an unknown Doctor for $500.  “Who are you”?  He replied to this Doctor-and went on to say I never went to you” This Doctor said your absolutely right you never saw me before ..but  remember last year when you were at the E.R.at your local hospital complaining  of chest pains and took & they took an EKG?.  Well I have a contract with that hospital for a  2nd opinion on interpretation  of those  EKG’S.  My father said first of all I never contracted you. & 2nd this is a year later and had the EKG showed any heart irregularity  they wouldn’t have release me.

  The Doctor got loud “He turned his fraudulent scheme  around and said “because of  people like you is the reason why our  health care is so expensive’. Another Doctor sends him a bill  for “In Office Surgery $600. What surgery my father  inquired The Office manager replied back “we pricked your finger for a drop of blood”.

Our plan is a simple one. Every Doctor will work for the Federal Government.. They will wear a uniform just like The Surgeon General. They will have a ranking and pay system just like as if they were Medical Officers in our Military with the exclusive difference is they can quit at anytime.. however if they decide to quit they will be permanently barred from practicing medicine or any of its related  fields anywhere within the U.S and it’s Territories.

Let them all wave goodbye to that big Mercedes Benz along with the Sprawling Multi Million Dollar Homes that they now enjoy..Trust us they will never starve they will make decent living..This will weed out for a lack of a better term ‘The Bums in our medical system.

All these urgent care facility’s can be taken over under imminent domain or fresh new facilities can be opened up.  We need dedication back in our health care field..More Marcus Welby and Ben Casey type Doctors as in years past .We are sure that The general public is in total agreement with us.
