Sigh. Bite my nails. Light a cigarette. Gross.

Is there anything worse than not having a job? Yes, looking for one.

Get up. Take a shower?

Find a reason to go outside. It's nice out.

Walk around the block. Sit on the steps. Go to Tea Lounge? Nah.

CNN makes me angry. How much Law and Order can I possibly watch?

I could "work" on my "screenplay" ... ( Read more... )

I had had a long and well written post saved, which is no longer there! Argh! Oh well, I guess I will have to re-collect my thoughts on vampire movies and start all over again.

I love French stuff: fries, kissing, ticklers, and movies. It's very hard for me to think of a French movie that I've seen and didn't like. Granted some are better than others. I know that this may sound very film school-ish, but my favorite subspecies of movie is la nouvelle vague, or the new wave. There is something about the movies of this era ( Read more... )

What is your favorite baseball movie? Why?

So I've applied for two jobs recently that are in the Paramount Building on 50th and B'Way. Since I didn't get either of them I have decided that there is some fickle television industry god who doens't want me working there. If anyone has a line on where I might find this god, please let me know and I'll send him the appropriate sacrifice.

For the last couple of Fridays I've worked what must be the best temp gig in the world.

Lucky Me!

So far as I can tell one day John Lurie decided that he should go around the world fishing with his friends and making a television show out of it. The reason that this makes a ( Read more... )

Brick is a nice throwback to the bad ol' days of film noir. At least part of it is. It's also teen drama about the dangers of cliques and high school romance. The story is one that could easily have been an episode of Beverly Hills 90210 or even 21 Jump Street. Instead writer/director Rian Johnson has made a hard boiled detective story whose ( Read more... )

The Aardamn animators have always excelled at giving personalities to animals. Beginning with Creature Comforts and the debut of Wallace and Gromit in A Grand Day Out in 1989 Aardman Animation and Nick Park have given animals starring roles in fantastic films. Creature Comforts gave us a very human and in depth look at life in a zoo, allowing ( Read more... )

Why the fuck is someone remaking The Omen?? I think it's because some movie studio exec figured out that they could release it on June 6th, so it would come out on 6.6.6! Well, La Di Fucking Da! Who cares? This was one of the greatest psychological horror movies of all time, and its one of the few horror movie franchises where the movies don't get ( Read more... )
