Thoughts.

Why am I up so late? Truth be told, it's not that late judging by how late I'm always up, in fact I'm a half hour early for bed.

A week ago tomorrow I saw (500) Days of Summer. Overall it was pretty good. I feel like there were too many different styles and separate bits that didn't really help the film and we could have gone without. I have to say though, as everyone else already has, there's a scene where the do a split screen between Tom's expectations, and reality that works wonderfully. That said, I'm worried a bunch of other films will try this to some degree now.

I've only seen Split-Screen in movies twice (Requiem for a Dream, and the above film) Both times it worked great.

Speaking of movies... INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS IS OUT ON FRIDAY!!! I'm hoping to pick up the print copy of the screenplay this week too.

The past week I was in NY where I saw:

The 39 Steps:

Which was really good and a nice take on the movie and hitchcock in general.

Shrek the Musical:

Which was ok, the jokes were lifted from the movie, and didn't make me laugh that much, but some other sequences worked. None of the songs stuck with me, but the show was well acted and had great production value. The guy who played Donkey, did a really good job playing an animated character, I mean that in his spot on mimicry of Donkey (cartoon)'s mannerisms and such. The audience however... had issues... let's just say that when you figure out the beat of the first four measures of a song you've never heard before (or even if you have) you have no damn license to clap to the beat.

Also, people who leave when the curtain call begins!?! What the hell!?! You sat through a two and half hour show and you can't sit and clap for 2 minutes (I thought our audiance loved clapping).

The Toxic Avenger The Musical:

Which was so incredibly good. The show was hillarious, well written, acted, directed. The music rocked hard core. (I always have less to say about the shows I liked). But this one worked, was by far the best of the 3 shows. I was laughing non-stop. Wonderful!

I work 3 days this week which equals a nice sum of money since I have hardly been worked this summer, and the next week I work 4 days while all my pals go to high school.

A very Happy Birthday to Brennan Dolson, who is with out a doubt the funniest person I have ever and probably will ever meet.

And finally INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS THIS WEEK!!!!!!!!!!

Goodnight moon.

Booked

Announcement:

I'm MC-ing the Calvary Cabaret at Calvary United Methodist Church on January 31st.  So grab some tickets (somehow).

On a personal note:

I'm doing well, the holiday was swell.  I have homework I need to do, but I don't quite know where to start, it's annoying.  Anyway, I've been busy lately you wouldn't know it by looking at me, especially now, wrapped in a blanket sitting in front of the good ol Mac, listening to SModcast.  That's about it, you may want to check up on the Totally Illogical Films Blog

I believe that is it for now.

Keep it realzies.

Hello!

Hey everyone!  There's a cat on my lap.

  So we just wrapped up The Miracle Worker this past week, and it went pretty well.  Right after that I was immediately thrust into Christmas Carol.  And I noticed something interesting, it seems in MW, I played the brother of a crippled kid, and at some point I say some deeply metaphorical verse from the bible, and the same thing happens in A Christmas Carol.  

The boys and I started writing our latest project today, so check that details out at the Totally Illogical Films Blog.  

Well I'm off to do whatever.

Keep it realz!

The Cheech and Chong post...

IS RIGHT HERE

School?

The second week is half over, auditions are in a week, and Uta Hagen's bugging me with my inability to figure stuff out (but it's basically figured out so it's cool). I'm trying to make work (The Loft, not writing and filming) easier on myself, but that sorta fell short.

Anyhow, the only reason I really felt like posting was the fact that we watched Taxi Driver in Film Studies, and there's this great scene where DeNioro's zoned out in a chair watching TV while Late For the Sky is playing, which is just sweet! I love that song so much more now.

Great movie... Also, Brad, Dad, Danny and I are going to see CHEECH AND CHONG!!! on the the 13th, and we're super psyched!  

You could be responsible for Phil's death

Hola, this is my first serious post since the 2 Breaking Dawn stories.  So here I sit at the computer, 11:30 at night after a crazy day at work... Let me just say that I have a new respect for ice sculptors, and by that I mean, I spent at least an hour chiseling the ice out of the freezer.  fun times were had.

I finally got an AP Comp essay finished, which unlocked "George Carlin: It's Bad For Ya" Which I am listening to now, funny man, also brilliant.

So I plan to audition for The Complete Works Of Shakespeare (abridged) this week, should be a fun experience if I can get a part.  I've also found out that the school play is "The Miracle Worker" which I had Mom pick up the script for today, so I plan to get a read out of that too.  I also had her check out the 1st season of Arrested Development from the library, which I plan to check out after I'm done listening to George Carlin's last show. 

Goodnight, and Good Luck.

Friday is a day...

TGIF, doesn't really work during the summer.  Anyway, as weird as it sounds I miss waking up 7 every morning, with the only thing on my mind being how I needed to get across the campsite and take a shower before the hot water ran out.  

So, CNN says Step Brothers is Will Ferrel's funniest movie since Talledega Nights.  I'm most likely seeing it Sunday, and I'm pretty excited. 

The first Mattress show is tonight, if you come you may catch a glimpse of me, if you don't I understand.  I work tomorrow, day shift, then Mattress that night as well, sunday's funday (after church).

 I've been really digging Flight Of The Conchords lately, I need to pick up their DVD at some point soon.
