J.C.V.D.

I’m actually looking forward to seeing this movie….

Went to see “The Dark Knight” yesterday and was blown away on many levels. It’s urgency is so pounding, it’s breathtaking. And it manages to be a comic book movie that actually says bigger-picture things about society, guilt, destiny, human nature and its ability to be sinister and selfish. And I know it’s been said, [...]

DAMN DIRTY APES

Today I stumbled across a blog called www.celebrityapes.com which features digitally altered photographs of celebrities as apes. The results are really disturbing and some are really interesting. The blog is updated daily with a new photograph.

Chubby Cheeks had intestinal parasites that gave him explosive diarrhea. We discovered this when Chubby Cheeks shat all over our bed and ruined a $150 comforter. I was also feeding him copious amounts of Tuna which added more rocket fuel to Chubby’s poo canon. Later that day I discovered him punishing his litter box. The [...]

Radiohead’s new video for House Of Cards was “shot” using light and laser-based scanning systems rather than cameras, with data being generated in real-time. The video was directed by James Frost of Zoo Films, and was created utilizing two technologies: Geometric Informatics and Velodyne Lidar. There were NO cameras used to film the video. The [...]

I’ve been a loyal Netflix customer for a couple years and I’ve had nothing but good things to say about the service. BUT, I recently started using the instant viewing service and I’ve been really disappointed in the selection of movies available for instant viewing. I’m not all that interested in Watching The Glimmer Man [...]

AMAZON

Our lawn was starting to look like the amazon rain forrest so Katie and I decided it was time to purchase a lawnmower so we could cut down the foot of grass surrounding our house. We decided we wanted to get an electric mower because it is more environmentally friendly than a gas powered mower, [...]

WINDOWS TO YOUR SOUL

It is well established that I am a loyal APPLE user and hate anything associated with Microsoft. Apple’s operating system is simply more intuitive and user friendly and far superior in every imaginable way. Today I purchased a new Toshiba laptop so I can test the websites that I design on Windows. The majority of [...]

When Katie lived with her sister Kristine, we kept a couple bowls of cat food on the porch for all of the neighborhood cats so they wouldn’t go hungry. At one point we were feeding about a dozen stray cats, dozens of birds, and a fucking possum. We kept the bowls fully stocked at all [...]

Target Audience

Yesterday I purchased tickets for the July 17th Midnight showing of The Dark Knight. My nerd boner is vibrating with anticipation. I haven’t been this excited about a movie in a very very long time. Right now I’m listening to the new Beck Album (Modern Guilt) and trying to find the motivation to work. Maybe [...]

Well pretty Frankensteinians! I apologize for being so MIA and low on the totem pole of contributions, I’ve been so busy and I know that’s not an excuse. Since I got back from my trip, I’ve been doing a couple of different jobs, I love it. It’s not steady and it’s a bit frightening, but [...]

Very interesting article, in more ways than one. And I agree that far too often movies get made that are merely regurgitated from other movies before them. But, yeah, you’re right. Making a movie is a completely daunting task. I’ve talked about this with Wade at length. I’ve often said that I wish I could [...]

PIMPLES

I am quickly discovering that the longer you live in a house the more blemishes and scars and bloody holes you find. When we first walked into the house it was love at first sight. It was the perfect house for us. And we quickly signed on the dotted line without any hesitation. It was [...]

I remember seeing Time Code at Cinemas East, a four screen multiplex that showcased obscure art and foreign films. The theater lobby was dark and melancholic. Most of the light bulbs had died months ago, and the few remaining fluorescent bulbs were left gasping for life. The theater looked abandoned, as if human civilization vanished [...]

“I’d be a lot happier with Hillary than what we have, and I’d be happier with Hillary than John McCain. But you have to put these things in order — my first choice going back was John Edwards. When he dropped out then Barack became my first choice. If he loses to Hillary then she’ll [...]

Last night I started packing up my belongings and began the task of transporting my precious cargo to my new home. I quickly realized that moving might take more time and effort than I had originally predicted. I decided that getting my office up and running should be my first priority, because I can’t survive [...]

‘Idol’ thoughts

So Jason Castro was a complete joke on “American Idol” last night, and if there is any justice, he will be voted off immediately. His song choices were terrible, his stage presence worse and his singing downright stunk up the place. Really, he could have taken a crap on stage and it wouldn’t have stunk [...]

Ramblings

So, as some of you might know I got back to Wichita about 4 weeks ago fresh off of working as a line producer on a television series in London. Since I’ve been back, I’ve had some good sleep, caught up with friends and finally started looking for a job. The sad thing is that [...]

Back from New York

I got back Sunday after catching opening weekend of the Tribeca Film Festival, and I had an absolutely fantastic time, saw some great films (and not-so-great ones) and came away completely inspired. My favorite film was “The Wackness,” and the entire cast, including Ben Kingsley, was present for the Q&A after the screening. It’s a [...]

Tonight my mom confronted me and asked me if I was planning on moving out and moving in with Katie. I can’t get anything past my mother. She always knows. Its freaky. But I was a little shocked by how well she took the news. But I could tell that part of her wanted to [...]

The Old Noise

Now that I’ve fully embraced the idea of making all of my music purchases on ITunes, I figured it was time to import my entire CD collection onto my computer and box up the 400+ CD’s that I’ve collected over the years. I’m ready to reduce all of the clutter. I’m ready to minimize the [...]

I must admit that I’m a little hesitant to inform my mother that I’m FINALLY moving out of the house. Mostly because I’m dreading the lecture that will surely follow the announcement. She will be reluctantly supportive but she will let me know that I’m making a horrible mistake. She will tell me I’m a [...]

THE DARK KNIGHT

I grew up on a healthy diet of saturday morning cartoons and comic books and it was this robust diet that helped build my creative muscles. I remember going to Agents Of Comics every Wednesday to blow my entire allowance on Spider-man and X-men comic books. I would spend the entire afternoon reading my crisp [...]

ART SCHOOL

In my experience there are generally two types of art instructors, the failed artist and the indifferent graduate student. The failed artist teaches because the job provides financial security, health insurance, a retirement plan and a studio space and/or access to materials and supplies. They might be incredibly talented artists but they failed at turning [...]

When Wade asked me to join the Pretty Frank family of bloggers I quickly responded with a “hell yeah” type attitude and was very eager to post my crazy thoughts and drawings and share them with all of you faithful readers. But then I started to realize that I’m not very interesting and lead a [...]

HOME SWEET HOME

The search appears to be over…. Yesterday I drove past a very nice house on the corner of Glendale and 2nd street and I immediately called the landlord to see if the house was still available. The landlord didn’t answer so I left a message. After a couple hours I started to get restless and [...]

The Hunt

After much thought and number crunching, I’ve decided that renting a house will be my best option. I realized that buying a home is a HUGE commitment and I’m not exactly ready to be a home owner. I need to take baby steps. And buying a home is always an option for the future. I [...]

Shaky ground

Anyone feel the earthquake this morning? What’s going on here? Earthquakes in the midwest? Tornadoes in January? “Prom Night” No. 1 at the box office? Is this the apocalypse, or what? ‘Cause I’d really like to know, just so I can get one more episode of “30 Rock” in before the end. So I don’t [...]

OLD BUT NEW

I need to paint. I haven’t painted for several months. I’ve been preoccupied with freelance work and I haven’t had much time for my “ART.” But I have some ideas brewing. Until then, here are some old paintings that I recently photographed. Here they are. Hopefully I’ll make more paintings soon.

There Will Be Success!

In my weekly column that I write for The Wichita Eagle — “Movie Maniac” — this week I write about David Willis, who starred as Paul Dano’s father in “There Will Be Blood.” He’s from Wichita, and still has family living here. It was a great conversation, and I didn’t get to include a lot [...]

Back from London

Just got back a few days ago. I was helping produce a tele-series for Dubai TV called “Love in Hyde Park”. I spent two and a half months working with an Arabic film crew, the entirety of which was absolutely insane (think PG Borat collides with Mr. Bean, no offense to the crew, it’s just [...]

It seems like George Michael has sneakily re-entered my life. First, he keeps popping up in the new TV show”Eli Stone,”which has pretty much been a big commercial for his music, using “Faith”to set up Eli’s weird visions, then using “I Want Your Sex” as a major storyline driving a young girl’s legal case. Now [...]

Here’s my horoscope for my next calendar year (my birthday was in February, so I’m just barely a Pisces): “The odds favor you. Rooting for you is akin to betting on the favorite this year. You come out of the most difficult situations flying. Your base of friends proves to be instrumental to your success, [...]
