The Bloggiest Blog of Blogs: Part 2

Let me first just say, I love it when I get a YouTube comment in my inbox and when I look at the person who said the comment has no videos of their own. Be a real person and show that have something and not some asshole who just has an account just to dick around! lol. Anyway, I'm getting a little lost here and let's get back on track. Okay. Right! So, today on the subway ride home, I had a real "Tron" like experience. And when I mean by "Tron" like experience, I'm not referring to the new Disney version. I mean like 80s Tron with Bruce Boxleitner baby! That's what I'm talking about! So I'm sitting alone and being a lonerish 8th grader listening to Radiohead and Fall Out Boy, when all of a sudden, I hear possibly the greatest sound effect ever! The P.A. system on the train starts going ape shit! How cool is that do you ask? Well, it sounded like the sound effects that you would hear in a freaking old Atari game! Yeah, that intense! If there was a time to geek out, that was the perfect moment. The sad realistic side of that is that this most likely not happen again. That really sucks monkey balls! I wish that sound was the official door opening sound instead of the usual winey stupid jingle!

Academy Awards 2012 & New Blog Part 1

Okay, so I'm pretty sure I wasn't the only one who saw the list for this year's Academy Awards. So heres where my story get's pretty entertaining. Not "ha ha nerdy kid's pants fall down in school funny". I'm kinda talking about "ha ha Jerry Seinfeld" funny. I welcomed the morning the way I usually do. I take a deep breath, and then a collection of little blue birds came through my window and helped me with my clothes and got my bowl of cereal. I almost forgot that the awards were announced that day. And when I took a sip of my cereal and saw that Melissa McCarthy is nominated for Best Supporting Actress, I basically dropped my bowl of cereal. I was that shocked and blown away. To be honest, the reason that she was nominated was because they want to pull in the teen demographic so that they can get more viewers. Her performance was good but I don't think it was Oscar worthy. She still makes me laugh though.

I haven't done a blog in a long time now and I kinda figured that I owe you all one. This is like part one of my Blog, the next one will be up sometime tomorrow. Peace be with you all!

I Think I Got An Actress(?)

Okay, so a while back, let's say a semester ago, I wrote a script that was supposed to be this folk/artsy short film called An Adventure with Abigail. It was great but after reading it third time, I came to a realization. I DON'T LIVE IN BRITISH COLUMBIA! CAPS LOCK MEANS ANGRY MODE!! Calmer now. I decided to change to season, location, and the feel of the script. It went from folksy to something that you would see with Seth Rogen and Julia Stiles. Whoa, think about it. Seth Rogen and Julia Stiles in a film together. Can you say, awesome?! Anyway, it went from artsy to something produced by Judd Apatow. It's cute and funny and a feel good romp. I already have an actress who's considering playing my main female role! I'm so excited! Now, I just need to make a big decision. Should I make this movie, or my other dark film Reflection?

Haywire? More like Shitwire!

So if you haven't guessed by the title, you can tell that I didn't like the movie Haywire and with good reason. This movie is by far the worst, awful, shitty, and-and- I can't even think of any other words that can possibly describe how bad this movie is. I rather have an iguana lick my balls while someone rubs my face with sandpaper. Even though that does sound painful, at least that visual sounds exciting! I wanted to leave to badly but I stayed because I wasn't sure if my dad and brother were enjoying the film. This film suffered it's predecessor, Contagion.  What's that mean? After the first 10 minutes it gets really boring and dull. There were so many quiet moments in the movie. Now there's a major difference between being quiet for dramatic effect and intensity. However, that wasn't the case. Almost all 45% of the movie has moments with only actors on screen and absolutely nothing else can be heard. It was so quiet that I could hear people coughing, a guy unwrapping an Reese Peanut Butter Cup, and the sound of the movie screening beside us beginning. I think it was either Beauty and the Beast or Dragon Tattoo. Hell, either way, hearing that beside us is what only kept me in the theatre. I haven't seen many movies since the start of 2012 but I can say now that this is the worst film I've seen this year. I would rather watch Garbage Pail Kids than watch this movie. No, it needs to be worse than that. I would rather watch Norbit, then Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3, The Room, and any Care Bears movie than watch this again. Haywire is Soderbergh's worst film to date!

Congress Can't Be Serious

So, I'm pretty sure everyone is up to date with what's happening between the United States congress and the internet, right? The all mighty battle for free speech. How big is this you ask? Try a mix between the Rebel Alliance Vs. the Death Star mixed with Cloud vs. Spehiroth and a dash of every action explosion combined! It's utter bullshit because you can't own something that's as big as the internet. The reason for this is simply because they want to stop piracy. Now as good as that sounds, it's basically a "robot in disguise". While they try to stop piracy, the government will also be stopping new websites because they won't meet their "filtered requirements". That's like kinda look doing a Disney movie with Jon McClane as the main character. It's a disaster waiting to happen! Boom! Now also there is this online "black out" protest that's happening on certain sites. I'm not going to point fingers here (wikipedia) but so far they are doing more help than damage. Why does this remind so much of Terminator for some reason? Is Sean Connor going to come out of no where and stop congress from passing this bill? Will Arnold come in with this sunglasses and save the day? Will the protestors fight the congress's super weapon the T-1000!? Okay clearly I need to take a break from watching '80s sci-fi movies but you can see the similarities. Rebels agains a mega powerful evil organization.

So hopefully the bill doesn't get passed and we can all celebrate by watching Keyboard Cat and looking up cool but useless facts on Wikipedia.

Keep the internet safe and fun and stuff!

Staying In

Take a look at my latest short film. Did this one because I was bored and I had some time to myself.

Lana Del Ray Sucked on SNL

So did anyone catch last nights Saturday Night Live episode? Host was Daniel Radcliffe-you know, Harry Potter. He was pretty great and I was surprised how good he could pull off an American accent. However, after watching him play a pussy ass white boy for the umpteenth time can really take a toll on you. Be that as it may, watching him spoofing his own character, really help things perk things up a rather joyless night. Now hold on. Here's where the story get's rather deadly poison drinking and Megatron Michael Bay style of destruction. Now the musical guest was Lana Del Ray. As anyone heard of her? No? I'm not surprised that you are. She doesn't have a record deal yet. Now I bought her three latest singles and from what I heard, she sounds really great. Like a mix of Nancy Sinatra and a grizzly bear. Now here's where the story get's interesting. When I saw her perform her single "Video Games", my face dropped to the ground and not in the good way. More like when you walk in to your parents having sex kinda bad. I mean, there's a difference between sounding good and moody and sound like your not trying to sing. But that's for people who can sing like Eddie Vedder. Now that's a dude who can sing. Lana Del Ray sounded like she just didn't care to be on the SNL stage. And after listening to her live, it really makes me think if she can really sing at all. I immediately went back to my laptop and deleted her songs off my computer. So to sum it up, good host, good comedy, shitty musical guest.

Hellish Friday

So today at film school, my class started off very riveting, exciting, and powerhouse of energy. Pretty awesome. Hold on. The story takes a very sharp turn. Were leaving Fun Sunshine Vill and taking the first exit to Dullashell Village. By look on all of my peers faces that they are all bored out of their skulls. They're all thinking "when can I leave this class? I'll jump out the window next to me Whallberg style!". I don't blame them. I feel as if I'm watching paint dry. Who wants to be in a night class on a Friday? No one.

Oh, wait! Teacher just swore and mentioned Farmville in a class. Perhaps this will get better. Nope, one millisecond later I feel like having my balls zapped by an electric eel. How god the agony! I hope things get better from here on out. Perhaps he'll teach us all on how we can be big stars on YouTube. Now that's a class that I don't wanna miss.

Rainy Day & Weinberg

Last night I sent out a tweet at film critic/film blogger Scott Weinberg. I can't remember what I said but obviously I got a tweet back and boy, was he pissed. I couldn't tell if he was pissed in a haha fuck you jokingly manner or just flat out mad at me. Either way, I was proud and disappointed in myself. So, me being the big youngling baby that I am, I sent him two tweets back apologizing. That was the end of that night.

The next morning, I awoke to greyish sky and snow trying to pass itself off as rain. Dreadful. Two cups of coffee later, I checked my Twitter account just like I do every morning. What I saw probably was one of those moments where your eyes go all big eyed like in the cartoons. Scott Weinberg is now following me on Twitter. Awesome! That's the only word I can possibly describe my reaction. Actually no, this was my reaction when I saw that he was following me.

Whatta, Whatta, Whatta Wednesday!

So as you can guess by the title for today's blog, it was a pretty crazy day. How crazy do you ask? Try a mix of Disney fun mixed with some David Fincher! Okay, I know that's a strange clash right there but I do like to mix things up every once and a while. Keep things fresh. Anyway, so I got to create this really insane shot for my latest short film. It's so cool because the song at the beginning of the film is really eerie and really fits the tone of the movie. Glad that I was able to get that done. Also got a first term actor to play my big role. Still gotta do some casting for my last two roles, but I'll get that done soon. Nothing has been set in stone now, but I'll make sure to keep you posted on any future updates.

Morning Coffee @ Bill Zucker

It always makes me laugh and ponder when I see the line at Starbucks. People will stand in a line for a good half an hour just to pay $5-6 just for some coffee. You know, you passed a Timothy's just before you came in, right? You know, that little shop that has no lines and always has been? Of course you didn't. If there's no lines at Starbucks, I'll go in. However, if there's a line to Narnia, I'll go get my coffee someplace else.

P.S.
Bill Zuker is following me on Twitter. Just saying. I didn't know who he is until I googled him this morning. Pretty-pretty-pretty cool dude.

Why is it Always Me?

Why is it always me? Is it my spiked up hair? My tanned face? My kick ass Japanese Sonic the Hedgehog t-shirt? I don't know but it somehow has a strange way to attract the messed people on the subway to come near me. It seriously does.  Like this evening, I was on the subway back home and while I'm sitting, these two people come onto the subway and just start causing a scene. I think they were either high, or on meth, drunk, or maybe all of the above. Anyway, they just start shouting, cursing, and talking about some pretty sexuality explicit stuff. Yucky! Here's where it gets nastier. The woman who was saying all of this stuff was right behind me. I've never been this frightened since some homeless dude threatened to "put a fucking bullet in my fucking head". True story.  It's also funny how the other people around these messed people react to them. They either just stand there and do nothing, look at the floor, or just gawk. Me, I'm just thinking "how much longer till I get to my freaking stop before I die". So I ask myself again... why is it always me? I guess I'll never really get over it.

Re-writes

It doesn't matter whenever I do re-writes to a script or anything in general, I somehow have to urge to watch Forgetting Sarah Marshal. Jason Segel is a great writer and actor I hope to one day to meet him, write something with him. Hell, even tell me what I wrote was good or just bad. I respect him that much. Anyway, I'm getting a little offtrack. I need to get back to doing to rewriting one of my many scripts. I won't give it away, but it's a comedy mixed with some minor romance. That's all. Will I actually make it, probably not,  but I will try my very hardest.

A Shout Out to Boredom

A short film I made when I was bored one night. Enjoy!

Welcome Back

Just started my next/last semester at film school. Feels good to be back but boy does my schedule suck major assssssss! First class is from 4pm-10pm. Holy crap! Good thing I have Tuesdays off. Thank fucking god! Anyway, my first teacher is pretty cool. Why's that you may ask? Because he has freaking cigar all the time! Talk about badass to the max! One downside though. It's never lit :(

So far so cool (we'll see).
