MAURY CHAYKIN - R.I.P. (1949-2010)

CLICK HERE TO SEE THE SCENE ON YOUTUBE.

I WAS IN AN ELEVATOR YESTERDAY, AND A GUY RECOGNIZED ME FROM WARGAMES. I THANKED HIM AND WALKED HOME. AS USUAL, WHEN I GOT HOME, I LISTENED TO MY PHONE MESSAGES.

MY PAL, FREDDY, HAD CALLED AND LEFT A MESSAGE - A FRIEND OF YOURS DIED.

OF COURSE, YOUR HEART STOPS FOR A MINUTE WHEN YOU HEAR SOMETHING LIKE THIS. THEN HE TOLD ME MAURY CHAYKIN HAD PASSED ON. MAURY WAS MY COMPUTER PARTNER IN THE MOVIE WARGAMES (1983)

YOU MAY HAVE ALSO SEEN MAURY IN THE HBO SERIES ENTOURAGE OR IN THE MOVIE MY COUSIN VINNY (1992) OR ANY ONE OF HIS DOZENS OF ROLES IN MOVIES OR TV. 

I REMEMBER THE DAY BEFORE WE WERE TO FILM OUR SCENE IN WARGAMES, MAURY CALLED ME UP. HE WANTED TO REHEARSE OUR SCENE IN THE DRESSING ROOM BEFORE WE FILMED IT. JADED AND BLASÉ (AND LAZY), I SAID:

LOOK, IT'S NOT THAT IMPORTANT, IT'S JUST A MOVIE.

(AFTER ALL, I WAS A "VETERAN", I HAD DONE FOUR OR FIVE FILMS BY THIS TIME). MAURY WAS A BIT PUT OFF BY MY ATTITUDE. HIS EXACT REPLY WAS:

WELL, IT'S IMPORTANT TO ME!

HE HAD DEFINITELY PUT ME IN MY PLACE, AND I REALIZED HE WAS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. MAURY WAS A TOTAL PRO. THE NEXT DAY, I FOUND MAURY IN MY DRESSING ROOM:

IN OUR SCENE, HE SAID, I'M GOING TO CALL YOU “MISTER POTATO HEAD”.

I IMMEDIATELY LOVED THE BIT AND IT WAS KEPT IN THE SCENE. MAURY AND I WORKED FOR A DIRECTOR NAMED MARTY BREST - WHO LATER DIRECTED BEVERLY HILLS COP (1984). I REMEMBER AS WE FILMED, I KEPT SCREWING UP MY LINES. FINALLY, AFTER MANY TAKES, MARTY TOLD ME THEY WERE GOING TO GET "IDIOT CARDS" FOR ME (HE MAY HAVE BEEN KINDER AND CALLED THEM "CUE CARDS").

MAURY WAS NOT AT ALL IMPATIENT OR UNKIND AS I MESSED UP SCENE AFTER SCENE WITH MY MISTAKES. I READ MY SCENE OFF THE CUE CARDS AND WE WERE DONE.

WARGAMES WAS MATTHEW BRODERICK'S FIRST FILM, AND MATTHEW AND I WERE DRIVEN TO THE SET TOGETHER. MATTHEW, MAURY AND I BECAME FRIENDS AND HUNG OUT TOGETHER THAT DAY, BUT IT WAS A SHORT-LIVED FRIENDSHIP, BECAUSE MAURY AND I WERE ONLY IN THAT ONE SCENE AND OF COURSE, MATTHEW WAS THE STAR OF THE FILM.

SHORTLY AFTER WE FILMED THE SCENE, OUR DIRECTOR, MARTY BREST, WAS REPLACED BY JOHN BADHAM. I THOUGHT FOR SURE THAT MY SCENE WITH MAURY WOULD BE SCRAPPED BECAUSE OF THIS, BUT NO, IT WAS LEFT IN - INTACT.

AFTER THE FILM CAME OUT, IT WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL AND I WAS DUBBED "THE MOVIES FIRST COMPUTER NERD". (TO THIS DAY, STRANGERS WILL MEET ME AND CALL ME "MR. POTATO HEAD"). I OWE MAURY A LOT FOR IMPROVING OUR SCENE AND MAKING IT BETTER.

I RAN INTO MAURY YEARS LATER, I THINK IT WAS ON HOLLYWOOD BLVD. WE HUGGED AND BRIEFLY CAUGHT UP AND HE WAS GONE. THAT WAS THE ONLY TIME I EVER SAW HIM AFTER WE FILMED WARGAMES.

MAURY WAS SUCH A FINE CHARACTER ACTOR, USUALLY PLAYING A SLOB OR A VERY UPTIGHT, ANGRY PERSON. I'M GLAD I MET MAURY AND HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO WORK WITH HIM. HE WAS A GREAT COMIC PARTNER.

A GREAT GUY TOO.

GREASE SING-A-LONG OPENS TODAY!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RINGO - PEACE & LOVE

BACKSTAGE AT THE GREASE SING-A-LONG

ANNETTE CARDONA (CHA-CHA),
KELLY WARD (PUTZIE), ME, AND OUR GREAT
DIRECTOR RANDAL KLEISER.

THE GREASE SCREENING AND SING-A-LONG AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL WAS AN UNBELIEVABLY FUN, WARM, HAPPY NIGHT FOR ME.  I SAW SEVERAL OF THE OLD CAST, PLUS OUR DIRECTOR, RANDAL KLEISER.

THE SIX OF US - IT WAS ME, BARRY PEARL (DOODY), DIDI CONN (FRENCHIE), ANNETTE, KELLY, AND RANDAL. FIVE OF THE GREASE DANCERS WERE THERE TOO. WE DID SOME SHTICK BEFORE THE SCREENING, TO A HALF-FILLED HOUSE.

BARRY AND DIDI HOSTED A GREASE COSTUME CONTEST AND EVERYBODY SEEMED TO BE ENJOYING THEMSELVES (SOME AWESOME COSTUMES!) BUT THEN IT WAS 8:30 AND THE MOVIE STARTED. BY THIS TIME, THE BOWL WAS PACKED FULL (17 OR 18 THOUSAND FANS). I HAVE SEEN GREASE MAYBE, 20 OR 30 TIMES, BUT I REALLY WATCHED IT THIS TIME, EVEN STUDIED IT.

WHY IS THIS MOVIE SO POPULAR? WHAT IS THE "SECRET" OF GREASE?

GREASE IS KIND OF A COMBINATION OF WEST SIDE STORY AND REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE - UNLIKE THOSE TWO GREAT MOVIES, IT IS FUNNY - BUT LIKE ALL GREAT ART (YES, I DO BELIEVE IT IS ART), GREASE HOLDS DEEPER TRUTHS.THE TEEN ANGST WE’VE ALL BEEN THROUGH. UNREQUITED LOVE. "TRUE" LOVE. FRIENDSHIP. PEER PRESSURE. THE CRUELTY OF TEENAGERS.

THE SONGS REALLY ARE GREAT AND THE CAST ARE ALL IMMENSELY TALENTED.

RANDAL KLEISER, OUR DIRECTOR, DID A VERY SUPERB JOB.

MY ROLE IN GREASE IS, THE SMALLEST ROLE I HAVE EVER HAD IN A FILM, BUT I THINK IT CAN BE LIKENED TO A DOING A GUEST VOICE ON THE SIMPSONS. I REALLY DIDN'T CONTRIBUTE ALL THAT MUCH, BUT I PLAYED A SMALL PART IN SOMETHING REALLY GREAT.

I GOT TO "SHOW MY STUFF" IN MIDNIGHT MADNESS AND MOB BOSS AND THE WHOOPEE BOYS" AND SOME OTHER MOVIES. A FEW GOOD ONES IN THE MIX, POLAR EXPRESS OR WAR GAMES OR I WANNA HOLD YOUR HAND, BUT MAINLY B-MOVIES, KNOWN ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY TO THAT GROUP OF MOVIE NUTS AND MAVENS WHO KNOW ALMOST EVERY FILM EVER MADE.

BUT GREASE STANDS ALONE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS INCREDIBLE FILM GREASE HAS BROUGHT MORE PLEASURE AND JOY TO MORE PEOPLE THAN ANY FILM IN HISTORY (WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE WIZARD OF OZ). THIS IS PARTICULARLY TRUE OF WOMEN, AND MORE ESPECIALLY, OF YOUNG GIRLS.

I WATCHED THIS BEAUTIFUL CROWD OF PEOPLE, MANY DRESSED IN GREASE COSTUMES, BOUNCING, CLAPPING, SINGING WITH JOY AND DELIGHT. I SWEAR TO GOD, THEY WERE DANCING IN THE AISLES - LITERALLY!

I HAVE NEVER SEEN A FILM EFFECT A CROWD LIKE THIS. I REALIZED HOW MUCH I LOVE ALL THE CAST AND ALL THE DANCERS. THE KINDNESS, THE FRIENDSHIP, THESE WONDERFUL, TALENTED PEOPLE SHOWED A SHY, GOOFY, SLIGHTLY IDIOTIC KID ALL THOSE YEARS AGO - THE TWO MONTHS WE SHOT GREASE DURING THE SUMMER OF 1977, WERE, MAYBE, THE HAPPIEST TWO MONTHS OF MY LIFE.

 I WAS YOUNG, I WAS A WORKING ACTOR, I WAS IN A FRIGGING MOVIE!!

MAYBE FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME I HAD SOME KIND OF PURPOSE IN MY LIFE.  

GREASE - ITS LEGACY, THE EFFECT IT HAS HAD ON MOVIEGOERS ALL OVER THE WORLD, COULDN'T POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN ENVISIONED BY ANY OF US AT THE TIME. I FELT SO EMOTIONAL AS I WATCHED THE FILM - AND THE CROWD!

ALL THE UNHAPPINESS IN THE WORLD, ALL THE PAIN, THE SUFFERING, THE HATE, THE WARS, THE INSANITY, THE CRUELTY - FOR THESE BRIEF FEW HOURS IT ALL VANISHED, IT DISAPPEARED. I SAW THESE PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE LAUGHING AND SINGING LIKE CAREFREE KIDS ON THE PLAYGROUND.

ISN'T THIS HOW THE WORLD IS SUPPOSED TO BE?  ISN'T THE LATTER STATE "RIGHT"? ISN'T THE FORMER STATE "WRONG"?

COME SEE EDDIE @ THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

AS A RULE, I DO NOT POST A LOT OF YOU TUBE STUFF HERE, BUT THIS IS THE BEST TRIBUTE TO MOTHERS I HAVE EVER SEEN:

THE GREAT SURVIVOR.......

WENSESLAO MOGUEL (c.1880 - ?) WAS ONE OF HISTORY'S GREATEST SURVIVORS.

ON MARCH 18, 1915, MOGUEL WAS CAPTURED WHILE FIGHTING IN THE MEXICAN REVOLUTION. HE WAS SENTENCED WITHOUT TRIAL TO BE EXECUTED BY A FIRING SQUAD.

MOGUEL WAS SHOT 9 TIMES. THE FINAL BULLET WAS FIRED AT CLOSE RANGE AT HIS HEAD. MOGUEL SOMEHOW SURVIVED. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT HE MANAGED TO ESCAPE.

HE WENT ON TO LIVE A FULL LIFE AFTER HIS "EXECUTION", AND WAS GIVEN THE NICKNAME "EL FUSILADO" (THE EXECUTED ONE).

QUESTION OF THE DAY

SOME CULTURES (ESPECIALLY THOSE IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA) GIVE THEIR CHILDREN NAMES WITH MEANINGS LIKE "UGLY" OR "UNDESIRABLE".

WHY DO THEY GIVE THEIR CHILDREN SUCH TERRIBLE NAMES?

QUESTION OF THE DAY

THOMAS JEFFERSON'S FAMOUS HOME, MONTICELLO, HAD A DOME WHICH CONCEALED SOMETHING.

WHAT DID THE DOME AT MONTICELLO CONCEAL?

MERRY CHRISTMAS ONE AND ALL!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND PALS!

YES, IT'S TRUE- ANOTHER CHRISTMAS HAS ROLLED AROUND.

I HOPE EVERY PERSON READING THIS MESSAGE HAS A REALLY GREAT CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR. CHRISTMAS IS, AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN, MY FAVORITE DAY OF THE YEAR.

I CAN STILL REMEMBER THE THRILL OF GOING TO MURPHY'S DEPARTMENT STORE IN MARYLAND AND SITTING ON SANTA'S LAP WHEN I WAS ABOUT SIX YEARS OLD AND TELLING HIM WHAT I WANTED FOR CHRISTMAS.

I CLEARLY RECALL SPENDING HAPPY CHRISTMAS DAYS AT MY GRANDMA'S WITH MY BROTHER AND SISTER AND COUSINS AND ALL OF US OPENING OUR COOL PRESENTS TOGETHER. SINCE WE WERE ALL JEWISH, MAYBE IT WAS HANNUKAH TO THEM, BUT TO ME IT WAS CHRISTMAS - I'VE ALWAYS LOVED CHRISTMAS AND ALL IT'S TRAPPINGS.

I HOPE YOU GET SOME GOOD PRESENTS AND I HOPE YOU GIVE SOME TOO.

I AM, IN ACTUALITY, AS SO MANY OF MY FRIENDS KNOW, A BIT TIGHT WITH THE DOLLAR. I LOVE MY BOOKS, I LOVE EATING IN NICE RESTAURANTS, I LOVE GOING TO LAS VEGAS, GOING TO DODGER GAMES, IN SHORT, I ENJOY MY MONEY - BUT SPENDING MONEY TO MAKE THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE HAPPY IS THE GREATEST JOY THERE IS.

I AM TELLING YOU - THERE JUST IS NO GREATER JOY.

MAKING OTHERS HAPPY IS ONE OF THE SECRETS OF A HAPPY LIFE. THE INCLINATION TO HELP, TO DO SOMETHING TO MAKE OTHERS HAPPY, IS ACTUALLY A VERY HUMAN EMOTION. IT IS ACTUALLY THE BEST SIDE OF MAN'S COMPLEX NATURE.

CHRISTMAS IS SYMBOLIC OF THIS BEAUTIFUL INCLINATION, BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE CHRISTMAS FOR YOU TO DO IT. YOU CAN MAKE ANOTHER PERSON HAPPY 365 DAYS A YEAR. IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO BE A GIFT.

A FRIENDLY OR SYMPATHETIC EAR WHEN SOMEONE NEEDS IT, A SINCERE COMPLIMENT GIVEN IN ADMIRATION, A PAT ON THE BACK, A SIMPLE "YOU DID A GREAT JOB", APPRECIATING OTHERS, ALLOWING THEM TO "BE THEMSELVES" AND SEEING THE GREATNESS IN EVERYONE AND ANYONE. IT IS REALLY NOT SO HARD TO SEE THE GREATNESS IN OTHERS (IN MOST CASES - I'LL ADMIT IT CAN BE HARD WITH SOME PEOPLE).

WELL, IT'S CHRISTMAS AND TIME TO STEP DOWN OFF MY SOAP BOX. HAVE FUN, ENJOY YOURSELF, BE WITH PEOPLE YOU LOVE, EAT A NICE CHRISTMAS DINNER.

OH YES, I FORGOT TO SAY ONE LAST THING.

I HOPE ON THIS FINE CHRISTMAS DAY YOU ALSO REALIZE WHAT A GREAT PERSON YOU ARE. MAYBE I DON'T KNOW ALL THE ANSWERS, BUT I DO KNOW THIS - YOU ARE A UNIQUE AND WONDERFUL MONOPOLY. IN THIS ENTIRE VAST UNIVERSE, THERE IS NO ONE LIKE YOU. THERE NEVER HAS BEEN AND THERE NEVER WILL BE.

YOU ARE WONDERFUL, SPECIAL, AND ONE-OF-A-KIND.

WHETHER YOU REALIZE IT OR NOT, WHETHER YOU AGREE WITH IT OR NOT, YOU ARE A GREAT, TIMELESS, MAGICAL SPIRIT. YOUR GREATNESS, MY FRIEND, IS GREATER THAN THE SUN, THE MOON, AND THE STARS ALL PUT TOGETHER.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND PALS!!!!

BEST HOLIDAY WISHES, YOUR FRIEND ALWAYS, EDDIE.
