Two Interesting Facts

oakenguy1) They're filming a movie on my street. In the liquor store about eight doors down from my building. No notice--I just walked out of the subway stop and there were those long vans and trailers on either side of the street. No one can think of the title, but somehow everyone knows that Clint Eastwood's directing. Does anyone know an actor named Michael Boyle? I walked past a trailer with a door that had his name on it. (Right next to the door for the crew restroom, so I'm guessing his career's not quite where he wants it to be).
2) My boss's mother went to the clinic yesterday for auditory hallucinations. She's been hearing classical music non-stop for the last twenty days. It apparently took a long time for her to be convinced it wasn't her downstairs neighbor, a beefy football-lover, who was blaring 'Brahm's Lullabye' at all hours--she even called the cops on him.
The thing is, the doctors at the clinic haven't ever encountered auditory hallucinations this *detailed*, so apparently she was the Catch of the Day, with a lot of folks in white coats "dropping by" to sit in on the tests. They're getting giddy at the thought of her spending the night in the lab so they can monitor her brain wave patterns. She just wants some sleep.
My question: if she hadn't been exposed to classical music, what would she be hearing? Why that particular repertoire?

Neat! Well, I checked IMDB; the only movie listed that Clint Eastwood is working on that's not out yet is called Mystic River.
No Michael Boyle listed, but there's several listed in IMDB. I don't think you saw an actor's door, though; the last acting credit for any of the Michael Boyle's is early 90's, however, there are several crew members with that named who have been doing work in the last several years. La.
