I love Sarah Jane

I first watched this short film about 2 years ago. These are the kinds of stories I like. Of course its a zombie movie (who doesnt like those), I really enjoy that the writer of this short took the time to slap in a little meaning behind the gore. I always say that the best zombie movies, arent about the zombies. They arent the point . Zombie movies are about the human condition.

And I just love the pacing of this movie. I hate how music videos and youtube have completely destroyed the attention span and dramatic tension. Those two kids display so much emotion on screen, even though they're just sitting there looking at each other.. This film is amazing, just watch it.

I love internet haters, and MYSTERY TEAM!!!!

They make me feel great. I never care about questions like these on my formspring but I thought this one was funny. My only response to the person asking this that only fucking cowards ask anonymous questions on formspring. I always talk a lot of shit about other filmmakers, but I only do it cause my work stands for itself. wocka fucking wocka

Anyways, I just watched Derrick Comedy's Mystery Team. AMAZING. This sketch group has some of the best writing I have ever seen. Its a little bitterswet though cause I've been following Derrick Comedy since they first started, and all of a sudden I overhear people talking about Jerry, or Girls Are Not To Be Trusted. and I'm like, dude I've seen those videos millions of times. It was like a cult following that suddenly went mainstream, damn.

The only problem I had with the movie was that the cinematography was TOO good. I highly admire the fact that the film utilizes a lot of single take scenes that cover pages of dialogue, but for some reason all the steadycam and dolly work seemed too distracting at times. Idk that movie is hilarious.

Screenplay This Disaster

I guess I'm gonna start posting some excerpts from random scripts I've started and never Finnish. I hope one day I never have trouble determining whether I based a script off my life, or my life off a script.

These next few posts are gonna be a fun.

Good afternoon world, I forgot how beautiful you are.

I still have my medical bracelet on. I wanna see how long it will last. I think tonight I'll attempt to drive. We'll see how that goes. I've been sleeping for most the day and I just can't stay inside right now. I don't wanna go all gushy and stuff but I do feel like out of all the things in life, this is my first real second chance. I always joked about being a blind filmmaker, but I was being half serious when I said that if I actually went blind I wouldn't be able to live.... But thats all over, and now its back to bidness. So no more of that downer shit from me.

Btw, Minus The Bear is one of my favorite bands.

Yeah... You're kinda fucked up for that.

I'm not even gonna say anything, you know what you're doing.

Post Op

I looked outside today at the tree in front of my house, it was beautiful. That tree has been there my entire life and but today I saw it for the first time without my glasses. I watched the branches sway from the wind. I could actually see the leaves instead of patches of blurry green clouds. Fucking amazing...

So I just underwent cataract surgery for my right eye and I just took the eyepatch off.. haha I look hilarious with it on. My sedative juts wore off and I am feeling so fucked up. I wish I was Linda Blair from the Excorcist right now. I feel like I'm getting skull fucked by a demon's fiery cock. The procedure basically me staring at three lights and it felt like the Dr. was either filling my eyesocket with sand and salt or punching me over and over in the face...

I feel fucking fantastic right now... haha. Its kinda cool cause I cans see close with my left eye and now far with my right eye. My depth of field is all fucked up now, which is kinda cool cause everything is in focus.

Coffee and pie, oh my!

Shit dude, I dont know why I'm still drinking coffee after all this time, its almost 4am. I just got back from a freakin Denny's where Seth and I were going over the once over for what I guess will be our film project to end all film projects: Our Last Days As Sailors...

We came up with that project last year and I finally convinced Seth that now it the time to do it. We need a big point in our win column and I truly believe that we can tackle a project of this magnitude... And this little tale about 4 men on an island is HUGE. I mean we're talking complex characters, beach locations, costumes and continuity, filming backwards (for the beards), fighting the weather, funding, and our biggest enemy to the very livelihood of our equipment: SAND!!!!! and lots of it.. I hate sand so much. If our camera drops once this project is donesville..

and we don't even have the script written yet. But we got this.. hopefully.
