Do As I Say And You'll Live!
I saw Snakes on a Plane last night. It totally rocked. If you were lucky enough to see it this opening weekend, you saw it how it was meant to be seen: with hundreds of other people, fellow fans. This is not a "I'll rent it on DVD later" movie. It begs for a crowd. We cheered when Samuel first appeared, we cheered when the snakes appeared, we laughed at the gawd-awful dialogue and the snake attacks in the bathroom. Fantastic. However, now that I've finally seen it, my interest has waned. I predict a terribly steep drop-off in box office next week, more than a usual second week movie. It was fun while it last, though...
In other news, I am moving to Cambridge. In less than two weeks. I am so excited. I haven't started to pack yet, but that's OK. It will happen. I don't really want to go into more details, but I have been able to deal with a multitude crap things about this apartment better because I am leaving it. Counting down the days...
I had my shoot for The Outdoor Type (my master's project, a sitcom pilot) over a week ago, and it went quite well. The cast was incredible, the crew was awesome, everyone seemed to have a good time. It was the first time I had really directed a big project such as this, especially one that I wrote, and I was also producing at the same time. I wanted to have a real summer camp atmosphere during the shoot, and we were able to do that. It was a project that I would love to continue with, I was really sad that we couldn't all come back and shoot the second episode. Perhaps in time that will be able to take place. First to finish this project and graduate...
It's a real transitory time for me, I feel like. Things at Emerson (namely the Orientation show) start up again tomorrow, which really marks the beginning my last semester there. I'm moving Sept. 1. Flying to Columbus the next weekend for Barbara's wedding. My brother just started his senior year at Miami. I'm getting closer and closer to a time that will be completely unknown for me.
Crazy.
