“Choke” is finally coming out and is starring Sam Rockwell. I thought this was one of the most cinematic of Palahniuk’s books after “Survivor” and “Fight Club.” There were definitely a lot of camera elements already written into it, especially in the hospital where Victor Mancini’s Mother lives.
Fox Searchlight purchased it for $5million [...]

These are a bunch of photos of the puppy I’ve been watching these last couple weeks. I miss this little guy. I call him “Bubs” and we’re great friends.
He’s a Great Sleeping mate.
And cute as a fucking button.
All photos taken with my iPhone, except these last three, which were taken with my Leica.
I’m trying to keep updating this blog as much as possible. I’m not really sure why because I started it with two people in mind. One of which wanted something to check out occasionally at their job. Now they are laid-off because of poor business decisions and the backlash from the writer’s [...]
Maybe some people are unfamiliar with the beauty, nay, the perfection that is Hollywood Public Access.
Allow me to introduce you to one of its stars:

This time of year is the best for movies because screeners start floating around and I can watch films, still in the theatre, in the comfort of my own home. These last couple of weeks I’ve watched “The Bucket List,” “No Country for Old Men” and “There Will Be Blood.”
In comparison to what is [...]
Television and film were great in the late 60s & 70s.
During the 1950s it was easy to know what people liked and what they would consume. Then the 1960s happened. The Vietnam War, the Civil Rights Movement, the overall changing of American consciousness happened. Then people weren’t quite sure what they wanted [...]
I just remembered this today.
Ted Levine gave an amazing performance in “The Silence of the Lambs.” He is spot-on in his portrayal of Jame ‘Buffalo Bill’ Gumb. Enjoy.

Dear People Who Like Their Films to Have Happy Endings,
I hate you. Don’t take it so personally though. I don’t necessarily hate your way of life, your style of dress, your family, your music, your religion or your political affiliation. I just don’t like your taste in film endings.
You are the reason Hollywood has and [...]
Or at least not American? (Americans bad wif geographies. Good wif manny-fest destoknee.) Then you may’ve heard of a country called Botswana.
I saw this ad and immediately thought, “Batswana is not a place.”
Stupid, stupid. Who greenlit this information mining ad?

Sometimes I really wish my eyes were video cameras. Today they would’ve recorded drool falling out of a Senior Citizen Woman’s mouth, hitting her shoe & then landing on the floor below.
Why? Because she was looking at the condom section in the drugstore. I’m not sure if she was trying to buy or if she [...]
