I’ve decided not to post on this tumblr anymore, I’ve opted to just use my tumblr account’s. I hope this site works it out so that there wouldn’t be so many glitches when trying to use another tumblr more actively than the account you signed up for. Even though I know Lynn and Monica (love you guys!) are the only ones that really reads this thing, I thought I’d write...

Sick Week Movies
The last few days, I’ve spent horribly sick with one of the worst colds ever. The time away from class had only one plus side- I got to watch a lot of DVDs that have been piling up over the past few weeks; some, I’ve even had the time to listen to the special feature commentary of.
The first one I want to mention is the documentary Cinemania. I had the urge to view it after taking the...

OH MY GOOOOD.
Just released promo for the 2009 MTV Movie Awards!
I’m sorry FuckYeahPatrickCassels, Andy Samberg has now taken over the lead for winner of my heart. :)
Phil Spector Found Guilty of Murder →
I’m a huge fan of Phil Spector’s music- even if I don’t like the Beatles. This is one of those times you can truly love a person’s work but still dislike the person that created it.
I was hoping for some theatrics- all I got was a... →
I wanted there to be some sort of war-of-words to go on between the creators of South Park and Kanye West, but none seem to be happening. Could Kanye’s ego have gotten so big, it had circled from ‘so huge!’, back to ‘humble’ again?

The most recent “Jake and Amir” episode may also be one of their funniest. It was one of those “MIt reminds me of those great X-Files episodes (e.g. “The Host”) that could not only be watched in context of the larger series, but breezily enjoyed as an ass-kicking, stand-alone piece of entertainment. There’s also a genius silent film quality to it. Suck it, “Sprinkler...

Paul Dano Will Never Be a Badass
This weekend, while browsing through the shelves of Blockbuster, I saw a cover for a DVD titled, Weapons (2007), starring Nick Cannon and Paul Dano. At first I was taken back by the matchup of the two actors, and after reading the back of the case, I was more surprised to see a picture of Paul Dano brandishing a shotgun, whilst looking all rugged. I swear, I laughed. There was no way in my mind...
WatchI went to my first collegiate baseball game yesterday (otherwise known as the first baseball game I went to that didn’t involve Little Leaguers). This is really crappy video, as I was trying to capture what was supposed to the winning hit for either team, but it was taking too long so I stopped filming. If you listen really close, you can hear me ask Krystle’s boyfriend,...
FutureMe.org/ My Letter to Myself, 2007
Back in 2007, I stumbled on FutureMe.org, a website with a simple text form where you can write an email to yourself and have it mailed at a later date. Back in May 2007 I wrote one.
At the time I was busy working full-time at a music store/head shop when I read an article online about the state run university finally creating a film school. I was ecstatic. I started taking courses at the local...
South Park Writers →
I know Trey Parker and Matt Stone write South Park, though I’m sure there are more writers on the show. I mean, I watch the Primetime Emmy’s, I know there’s double digits in those writer’s rooms for shows like Conan O’Brien and The Colbert Report. Where are all the South Park writers??? Seriously, I just spent the last few hours re-watching the most recent of Season...
English Majors
Folklore class today was fun. We had to get in to our small groups, mine being “Narratives” (I’m doing my final project on ‘Infections & Invasions in Film’). Now, being the socially inept person that I am, I always find a way to relate people through film references. This lead to a very interesting discussion.
We found out early on that the 4 of us were english...

I hate these things. But this one is actually really funny. I did indeed laugh out loud at this, because it is sooo true. Someone should make this in to a shirt.
Deal Breakers
So I bought Season One of Mad Men this week. As a person that is always reading scripts, and then quotes them in day-to-day conversation, I figured watching a show known for it’s writing would keep me entertained during Spring Break. Nope. I’m still on Disc 1, Episode 3, and I’m bored to hell. I like the costumes and the satirical dialogue, but come’on! More… I...
Student Loans
A year ago I started going to Hawaii’s only film school. There I had a teacher that, although kind of awesome (even if he gave me a B), shocked everyone one day.
It was during the 2008 Presidential Primaries, and our class had about an hour before we were supposed to be let out. When this happens, the instructor, Konrad, would say, “Any questions?”
A pretty simple question. I...

It’s 1:05AM and I’m working diligently on a script. It’s making me laugh just writing it, so I know I’m getting somewhere with it. I intend it to be the ultimate anti-romantic comedy, about a woman who goes to great lengths NOT to get proposed to by her boyfriend.
It’s based on actual things I have done (or more so, my friends) to cockblock guys. After years of...
Does every production set outside in NY have to be on a water slicked street? I wonder if the crew for this particular music video wet the road before shooting, or if it was already like that. To be honest, I don’t think I’ve ever noticed a night shot of a NY street NOT rain slicked. Hmmm…. Are there any dry nights in New York?
For all you Spaced fans →
No matter how down I feel, re-watching Spaced episodes always puts me in a better mood. My favorite episode: Change (Season 2, Ep.2)
Bilbo Bagshot: What about the Ewoks eh? They were rubbish. You don’t complain about them.Tim: Yeah but Jar Jar Binks makes the Ewoks look like… fuckin’… Shaft.
I Made It Home
Yesterday I put in my application to be a tutor for the summer program I was once a part of through out my time in high school. I can’t believe the tutors that were there back when I was going were the same age I am now. If I get the job, I’d be filled with such feelings of things coming full circle.

My room is on the third floor of the low-rise dormitory, it also has a foyer. I live on it. This basically means I live 4 stories up. Right outside my window is a roof ledge. Today, as I walked up my stairs to take a nap, I see someone standing outside of my bedroom window! It’s my neighbor! It was all very Buffy the Vampire Slayer (circa 1991).
Last night they didn’t stop partying...
Remembering Movies From When I Was a Kid
Through some meme on another blogging site, I’ve managed to dive deep in to my memory banks and pull out some movie gems from my past. Some, I’ve since re-watched and had mixed results with. I come to the conclusion that as one gets older, one forgets all the bad things associated with being a child and one focuses purely on the good. This can be damaging. Imagine if Bruce Wayne...
