Oh, and why do I want a band again? Because I found video from one of my old band’s last shows and it’s reminding me how much I miss it.
This is the last 3 minutes of our last song, I’m in the white shirt and about 26 when this was taken (at the Georgia Theatre, on a Monday in the summer of 2006, well before the place burned down.)
Hey, I know this. I shot this!
I've spent a decent part of this White Christmas...
…finishing my woefully procrastinated shot lists for this week’s filming. Here’s a fairly *non-spoilery* view of a piece of the third scene in the film. Fans of the short story will notice a distinct modernization, since the original takes place in the 70’s. Also, you’ll see a note about a change from the script, which had a pretty overused gimmick that we removed...

@shorterexcerpts -
Yeah, it’s kinda like that, only a level of magnitude greater. This one has a lot more riding on it than a 48 Hour film. For one, a much larger amount of money is involved (mine and more importantly, others who I do not want to let down) and for another, the level of quality needs to be dramatically higher on this one. Makes the time constraints more of a concern.

Filming Next Week
Behold, a deserted island in the Pacific Ocean. Or a peninsula in Florida, whatever.
I haven’t written about it in a while, but starting on Monday next week, the second half of Survivor Type will begin shooting in Anastasia State Park in Florida. Very nice folks, the admin staff and the rangers at the park. Thanks to my fancy-pants Android phone and the Tumblr app, I may even send a...

"How do you know?" cost 120 million dollars!? →
It’s a romantic comedy. A 120 million dollar romantic comedy. How? They had $50 million in actor salaries alone. But still, $70 million on production? For a movie without giant robots or other extensive CGI work.
All I’m saying is there had better have been a nightly selection of high-cost whores and manwhores available to cast and crew on demand, as well as the finest...

Look, give me crap about saying the original Tron sucks if you want, but anyone else think that it’s kind of telling that a week before Disney releases its big budget sequel, the movie is offline, out of print and unbroadcasted? Because, if you ask me, it’s kind of telling.
It…doesn’t hold up. Trust me, your memories of it are so much better than the...
