‘The Dark Knight’ is brilliant
Posted in Uncategorized on July 22, 2008 | 1 Comment »
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.
EXPLOSIVE DIARRHEA

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 [...]
HOUSE OF CARDS VIDEO
Posted in Uncategorized on July 15, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
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 [...]
INSTANT GRATIFICATION

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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Last night I started packing up my belongings and began the task of transporting my precious cargo to my new home.

I decided that getting my office up and running should be my first priority, because I can’t survive [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.
