Saturday I begin weekend blogging for Observer.com. I’ll be covering pop culture, national news, breaking news, big stories as they hit.
I’ve blogged for the (NY) Observer before and it went pretty well and was a lot of fun, but I’m still nervous (the good kind) this time because even though…
You guys know Huff is awesome right?
It’s true, Huff is pretty awesome.

'Melancholia' Was Kind of a Downer
danhacker:
Don’t get me wrong, ‘Melancholia’ was a beautifully shot film. Just excessively long and filled with too many ladies being sad.

Hey, look, it’s my first ever mention in Creative Loafing Atlanta. This is now the third time this week I’ve heard Survivor Type referred to as “unfilmable”. I can assure you, it was not. Difficult to film? Hell yes.
Tomorrow at 4:00pm at The Plaza. It’s going to be an awesome time, and the same ticket lets you see “A Wet Dream on Elm Street,”...

Aint-It-Cool-News reviews "Survivor Type" →
In which our intrepid film director loses his fanboy mind, as Aint-It-Cool-News gives the film he directed a mostly positive review, and more importantly, gives it the thumbs up to getting the adaption of the story right.
So this is exciting.*

First (somewhat informal) Review of Survivor Type
