Welcome to Blackey Fontaine dot Com

I feel that I would be remiss unless I welcomed you all with a loud "IT'S BLACKEY YOU BASTARDS!!!!"

Yes, I know that this is Dave's website, but Blackey's here so it's a special, special day. You must know by now that your boy and mine, this website's nakesake, David J Mcgee directed a play tonight. I feel however that "play" does not do "Forensic and the Navigators" justice. Quite simply, Sam Shepard's words and Dave Mcgee's directing do not come together to create a play, they create a movement. This play had it all: a nearly spastic, yet controlled pace that seemed to this viewer to bring the director's personality to life, with subtle humor to boot. Subtle humor not your thing? Dave's vision has some of the most intelligent physical comedy and slapstick I've ever witnessed. I'd wager that not many people think that a floor full of breakfast cereal and feigned orgasms are funny...until they've seen this play. Nevermind that the plot (and the Rice Krispies strewn about) left me scratching my head, I walked out of that little room entertained. I grinned ear to ear, half because of the laughs induced by the play - nay, the movement - I just witnessed, and half because of the pride and sense of accomplishment I felt for my homeboy Dave Mcgee.

The cast tore it down, and I'm glad that my Jewish muscle Rov and I didn't have to threaten anyone to get the best talent to take part in Dave's show. I really think that everyone involved should be proud. It all went off very smoothly, and everyone seemed to love the performace. I still don't know what was going on, but hey that's cool. Knowing how Dave hates exposition, the confusion was not unexpected and kinda fun, the subject matter will be great for "morning after/ water cooler" discussions. I think it's cool to think that someone in that wacky theater school is having a conversation right now with one of their eccentric friends saying "I wonder what Dave was trying to say with the whole Rice Krispies thing." Dave is famous. And with good reason.

Between this movement and Jason's monkey thing, I have some famous roommates. It's just a shame Rov quit the band the other day. But that's really neither here nor there. The bottom line is that "Forensic and the Navigators" is not a play, it's a movement. Dave is the future of American theater, and all you people who are gonna try to jump on his manhood after he gets all famous, remember where the first review in the world was, and remember who wrote it.

GO SEE THE DAMN MOVEMENT

I keep my reviews short and phat (fat) like Joe Pesci. God Bless Me

peace, internet
BLACKEY

p.s. anyone who didn't like the play, come talk to me and leave minus a few teeth.
