mikeavila At Blue Ribbon Sushi w/one of my oldest friends...and Daniel Craig is sitting right next to us.


Blue Ribbon Sushi (Manhattan)

Sushi Chef at Sushi Manhattan

Located on the same block as its sister restaurant, Blue Ribbon, Blue Ribbon Sushi came to life on November 3rd, 1995. Blue Ribbon Sushi represents the collaboration of the Bromberg Brothers' Blue Ribbon approach with their partner Toshi Ueki's skill and love of Japanese cuisine.

The restaurant has enjoyed huge popularity and year after year is regarded as one of New York City's top sushi bars. The menu is innovative, and displays a choice of sushi from both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans (not to mention those flown direct from the Sea of Sushi Manhattan WindowJapan on a daily basis) all extraordinarily fresh, creative and abundant. Toshi's specials and an award winning sake list make every meal a truly extraordinary Japanese culinary experience. Whether at the Sushi Bar or at one of the cozy tables in the back room, dishes like shrimp shumai, dragon roll and spicy fish soup, will transport you to the other side of the World. Blue Ribbon Sushi is open 7 days a week.

gcf123 A steady rain good not great daniel craig outshined hugh jackman as far as I am concerned

mybyclementine Daniel Craig. Hugh Jackman. Front row at A Steady Rain. Remembered to turn phone off. Just as well as absolutely gripping.

lynnxoxo watching Casino Royale in anticipation of seeing Daniel Craig next weekend! AHH! James Bond + Wolverine = EPIC WIN!

ariimonster I love Daniel Craig's Bond. His abs have nothing to do with it, I swear.

MoogThePanda Daniel Craig is one fiiiiinneee man.

mclgreenville Daniel Craig does Bond justice. Watching Casino Royale. Damn good action flick.

SeanWF Forgot how great a movie Casino Royale is. Daniel Craig is a fantastic James Bond.

I saw A Steady Rain today (it was awesome; visit my journal for more details--some of this is just copy-pasted because I have to go see The Damned United in like ten minutes), and then the boys came out and signed autographs and talked with people and took photos WITH people, which is very rare and shows how lovely and sweet they are.
Then the girl next to me tried to take a photo of herself with Danny with her iPhone or whatever, but he couldn't get it to work. I don't know WHAT made me say it, but I went "You're James Bond! You're supposed to be good with gadgets!" And he went "I'm terrible with gadgets! Haven't you seen the movies? I just smash things" and I was like AHAHAHAHAHA YOU ARE OUTSTAAAAANDING. And then I offered--but I couldn't do it because I'm incompetent and I was shaking so badly I couldn't press the buttons. *FACEPALM* I was like "I'm so sorry, I'm shaking...I can't think why."

Brief comments on A STEADY RAIN
Posted On:10/10/09 at 09:21
Keith Huff's A STEADY RAIN is event theater at its finest. The audience cares more about seeing Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig than the play itself. Huff's play is your standard twisty turny "Law and Order," episode, nothing special, but it's a great character study. And Jackman and Craig are intensely watchable as they deliver the 90 minute duologue. Craig is more convincing than Jackman, but their chemistry is very apparent. It's a treat to watch the two of them together.

re: Brief comments on A STEADY RAIN
Posted On:10/10/09 at 11:22
Agreed.

re: Brief comments on A STEADY RAIN
Posted On:10/10/09 at 11:33
Totally agree. And I think its great that, while the audience is only there to see Craig and Jackman, they actually get a great performance from them. I thought the two of them were spectacular, and this was the perfect vehicle for them- what beautiful story-telling!

re: Brief comments on A STEADY RAIN
Posted On:10/11/09 at 05:03
Just saw it yesterday- I was lucky to be on the front row/center and it was like seeing them on the movie screen, with facial expressions playing on their faces as they deliver the impactful dialogue. I would give the slight nod to Hugh Jackman because his acting is more nuanced ( it is his character which undergoes the decline and shows a wider range) but Daniel is also very good. The chemistry is excellent and it is hard to imagine seeing a more convincing two-hander onstage. A joint TONY award wouldn't be farfetched for this kind of verbal duet on stage! I think the TIME review captured the quality of the show and the performances very well.

MANY CR comments from the screening on TV

cavaticat Casino Royale is such an awesome movie (so, for that matter, is Quantum of Solace). I'd be Daniel Craig's Bond girl ANYTIME.

thejasongray If I were a girl I would fuck Daniel Craig, not just when he plays James Bond, just in general. And I'd probably fuck him anyway as a dude

christiels_xox Should really start to head back to school soon, but would rather watch Casino Royale... oh well, Daniel Craig wins every time..

briecantthink Oh man, Daniel Craig is way too beautiful.

kenwalther Casino Royale is on cable. Daniel Craig is the best James Bond ever. Bourne Indentity started the trend in great spy movies.

adventuress And geez - Daniel Craig is muscled up!

adventuress Loved A Steady Rain on Broadway last night. Finally got to see Hugh Jackman (OMG) and Daniel Craig in person. Great performance by both.

SarahDeneen Daniel Craig = Amazing.... Enough said.

This is good. As if Daniel needed it of course, but it is an opportunity to remind his previous directors that he will always be far more than Bond. :wink: :D

re: Brief comments on A STEADY RAIN

Posted On:10/11/09 at 07:31

I must admit that I'm one of the many who jumped to get the premium tickets to A Steady Rain because of Hugh Jackman -- whom I've been a big fan of for years. Sure, it was a treat to see two mega movie stars on stage, but I walked out of the theatre thoroughly impressed by the two actors' skilled and committed performances.

As many reviewers have noted, Daniel's complete transformation into the character is remarkable, and I was drawn into his performance for the entire 90 minutes. As for Hugh, while he may appear to be "presenting" more than "inhibiting", I'm not sure what else he could have done with his undeniable stage presence. He speaks directly into our eyes, and brings genuine life to the character. Not to judge the quality of acting by whether an actor cries real tears or not, but seeing tears slowly well up and then finally fall out of Hugh's eyes in the end was absolutely heartbreaking. Hugh's passionate and committed portrayal of Denny blew me away.

Now, a little bit about the play itself. *** I'm not going to talk about specific events within the plot, but if you don't want to know "anything" about the story, please stop here. *** Towards the end, I felt that the string of events unfolding in front of us were a bit over the top. However, once I familiarized myself with the Jeffrey Dahmer case, which was mentioned in some of the reviews, I appreciated the character portraits in the play much more. I almost wish that it was explained somewhere that the play was roughly "based on" or "inspired by" the Jeffrey Dahmer case -- which, to me at least, would have made the plot twists more believable and the storytelling that much more intriguing.

In any case, I echo jo and mamaleh's sentiments that a join Tony nod would be nice for this dynamic duo.

I think Huff should be imminently grateful that Craig and Jackman agreed to do his play, because in my opinion it's the weakest component of the production. I felt as if he left no cop story trope unturned. Loose cannon cop? Hooker with a heart of gold? Evil pimp? All there and then some.

re: Brief comments on A STEADY RAIN
Posted On:10/11/09 at 08:16

^totally agree. Loved their performances and was interested, at best, in the story itself.

re: Brief comments on A STEADY RAIN
Posted On:10/11/09 at 08:51

The play is what it is. And it is true that it wouldn't be anywhere near NY were it not for the coincidences that involved Craig, his agent, Barbara Broccoli and Craig's friendships with both Crowley and Jackman.

But that doesn't mean the play is bad.

It's a great play...at a 100 seat regional theater where the top ticket price is $20.

At Broadway prices? It's a little stingy. But enthralling.

I don't know if it helps but I found this:

When are the nominations announced?
The 2009 Tony Nominations Announcement took place on May 5. You can watch a video of past-winners Lin-Manuel Miranda and Cynthia Nixon doing the honors.
