White Collar Live WebCast -- Commentary/Semi-transcript
Ok, so I know I said I was going to do a commentary on "Front Man", but USA hosted a White Collar Live WebChat with Matt Bomer and Tim DeKay this afternoon and I was lucky enough to be able to get to watch it. I decided to give it a shot, not expecting much of anything

The way they keep yelling it at one another makes me pretty certain that it's a joke they have on set, or something happened one day on set that created an in-joke about it.
Here is Colorado Parkour's show-reel, to give you a feel for it.
They almost lose it completely over the words "backpalming" and "cups and balls"-- both are magic trick references.
"Cupping and balling" (which is how the question is worded) is totally not the magician's term--it's Shell Game. But it provided hilarity, so I'll let it go. ;)
And now commences their bad accents. Usually southern. and in stereo.
Matt is from Houston, and he had his Texan accent beaten out of him at CMU. So his southern accent is real (you can hear it slip out from time to time in interviews, or on an occasional word on the show). Tim has no excuse. ;)
And they are so HANDSY with one another. I kept thinking of Xander saying "HANDS! HANDS IN NEW PLACES!"

Your icon is epic. I love it. (do not fuck with him, or El or Neal. Or you will die a very slow death involving his very large gun.) And he has another big gun, which I wouldn't mind seeing on an icon, although I doubt we'll even get much of a hint about it.
AHA! I know what freerunning is! I just didn't know it had a fancy name. :-) I was really curious to know why the boys were randomly yelling a word I didn't quite understand. (besides the fact they're some of the most adorable spazzes I've ever seen) Thanks.
I know. I was like that's SHELL GAME, not cupping and balling. But they *really* couldn't handle themselves over it. At all. Which was really cute. And made up for the question fail, completely.
Ok, so Matt has an excuse, but it still grates on my ears for some reason. Texas accents do nothing for me, apparently. Tim has no excuse other than he is one of the cutest dorks EVER. And he feels the need to be a dork.
They are AMAZINGLY handsy the whole time. And they gravitated towards each other, and put their arms behind each other. They also seemed to correct themselves kinda quickly each time too. Not sure if they were trying to maintain 'propriety' or something. Other stuff I've seen with them post-webcast? Same kinda trend, although not as much. There's some special love going on there. It's cute.

I read that as "Francy name" - because it started in France: "parcours du combattant"="obstacle course."
And they gravitated towards each other, and put their arms behind each other.
They really did - they start sort of spaced so that there's like 1/3 table, Matt, 1/3 table, Tim, 1/3 table. It doesn't take very long for the visual to become 1/2 table MATTYTIM 1/2 table. They keep rolling their chairs into one another. IT'S SO CUTE.
And he has another big gun, which I wouldn't mind seeing on an icon, although I doubt we'll even get much of a hint about it.
I assume you have seen the gun, yes?

They kept brushing elbows and being completely in each other's space and suddenly noticing and scooting back just a bit like 'oh, we need to behave' and it working for about... oh 30 seconds. Then the whole cycle starts over.
A friend described them as having special magnets that just inevitably draw themselves toward each other, no matter what/where they are. And so far, they seem to be right.
No. I have not seen the gun. Plz to be telling me where to be seeing it... I've seen some pictures that rival Matty in the askdfhkshdfkdj HOT department, but not that. (Although I heard about there being a series he did involving his character masturbating and I was like... oh THAT's going on the must-see list. Dirty, dirty, I know. :-/)

DUDE.
.... *dies*
YOU ARE AWESOME AND MY HERO FOR THE DAY AND YET I FEEL DIRTY AT THE SAME TIME.
And the 'big gun' reference now takes on a whole new meaning.
(I have been saying that I want one of my own just like Timmy. Now? I REALLY want one JUST like him. :-p)

It's the Plato's Ideal of a gun.

(I feel like I should give you a shiny object back, but all I got are previews of my WC fic-- I'm terrible at writing custom/request stuff. If you're interested, contact me. I have computer access for the majority of today, even if it's not my computer.)

Usually, when an actor films a nude scene, they clear the set of anyone who isn't absolutely essential, and the lighting in a closed set (I don't know if that was filmed in a built set or an actual home) makes it warm. But regardless. That's a very nice gun.
Did you get to watch the Diahann Carroll singing clip? Or listen at amazon.com?
