The Hurting Kind/TNC Shreveport LLC would like thank our July 11 Mia's Pub fundraiser event sponsors:
Pulled me in.author: Tamara Turner, Music Editor/Reviewer Remember the TV show Twin Peaks? Were you one of the regulars who watched it as much for the charming, creep-out, beautifully psycho music as much as the plot? If so, this is a must-have album, featuring 2 totally exclusive Julee Cruise songs you can't find anywhere else except the full motion picture soundtrack. And if the Twin Peaks music was your kind of thing, you're in luck- this album brings you more of the eerie, dreamy and disturbed personality that made the show so distinct (and gave Julee a new wave of fans).
In Your World of Blue - Julee Cruise/J.J. McGeehan 4:05 Re-Mix 3 (Mind-meld Shred Theme) 3:18 Nutcracker Theme (Extended Mix) - Joshua Gest/Aisling Being 8:08 Never Let You Go - Julee Cruise/J.J. McGeehan 3:47 (Hidden Bonus) Nutcracker Movie Theme (Version)
About me:
A girl who can't feel pain. A killer who lusts to inflict it. Some paths are just meant to cross.
THE HURTING KIND - Mia, a student/part-time call-girl who cannot feel any pain (Antinociception), is obsessed with finding a local serial killer. After causing a wreck and killing her prime suspect on a rural road at night, she takes hostage the first people who stop to help: a married couple in their 40’s, which escalates into a night of brutality, revealed secrets & twisted vengeance.

Who should play Mia Lambert? The actress must preferably be aged 19-25, stunning, can show despair as well as a hidden, angry strength and ruthless will to survive at the cost of anyone.
NEW! Character bio for Mia:
MIA LAMBERT - Mia is college age. She's slim and exotic, despite being raised as a tomboy on her father’s ranch. She has a longer Bob-cut hairstyle, and she's a natural beauty. She doesn't need much make up if any. She has eyes that promote an inner strength despite however frail she may look or however she may seem to lack in strength. She's very smart, quick witted and reacts well under pressure. She is also a person who deals with Antinociception: the argued, mental and/or medical inability to feel pain or pleasure, or just simply lacking the sense of touch. This symptom allows Mia to function beyond the usual capacity of someone who should be crippled in massive pain. She can be one tough bitch when she needs to be.
Who should play Dale Bannister? The actor must preferably be aged 40-50, stout in stature, can show cynical anger in heated situations and have a good range of emotional abilities.
NEW! Character bio for Dale:
DALE BANNISTER - Dale is a 40's aged, stout man of average height - about 5'-10" or more. He could be viewed as pudgy by some or probably one step from having weight issues, but he currently holds his weight well all over. He is smart and also a smart ass. He is sarcastic and cynical, though they are his usual options of expressing stress and/or anger. His profession is as a History Professor at the local college. He is an animal lover, automobile enthusiast and has a eye for detail. He would do anything for his lovely wife, Greta.
Who should play Greta Bannister? The actress must preferably be aged 40-50, look naturally gorgeous, come across as sophisticated and smart, yet also pull off a bitch of an angry side in heated situations. Wide range of emotional abilities would be nice as well.
NEW! Character bio for Greta:
GRETA BANNISTER - Greta is a 40's aged, naturally beautiful woman - slim and somewhat tall - probably 5'-7" or more - not taller than Dale, though. She actually looks younger than her age. She is the epitome of her profession, a Psychiatry Professor at the local college. One can see her thinking through a heated and/or important conversation or situation. She is naturally blunt, sometimes cold, sometimes sarcastic and usually also epitomizes what people would call, a bitch. She knows when to play the humor card, though, and she is hard to turn your eyes from. She a tidy homemaker, a stargazer, has great manners and would do anything for her loving husband Dale.

Not sure what the hell happened, but we are having trouble locating The Hurting Kind Myspace group page... I'm hoping this is a temporary glitch, otherwise lots of folks are going to be pissed because lots of info over time has been nurtured and worked on and posted for everyone's benefit. Has anyone heard of a Myspace group page disappearing???
