Top 5 of 2010
My picks for Top 5 of 2010 -  1. Inception - Christopher Nolan’s post Dark Knight follow up was, from the moment it was even announced, in danger of not being able to come close to living up to its predecessor. And, whileInception is a different beast than The Dark Knight, it not only met those expectations but exceeded them (at least for me). Nolan creates a new and unbelievably amazing...

Goodbye Belford Ave.
Tomorrow, I pack up the rest of the hand full of things I have left and move them into the new room I’m renting. It has been a down week for me. It started out with seeing Somewhere on Monday. It was a great experience, and I want to see the film at least once more before it leaves theaters, but… I don’t know how to explain it… Every time I see a Sofia Coppola film I go...

Thanks. Sometimes I take for granted that it’s my blog and can post whatever I want. I’ve had friends that have been a little judgemental about some of the stuff I’ve posted in the past, so I sometimes get a little gun shy (it’s why I rarely post anything personal anymore). Sofia is also my favorite director, and I usually get really excited around the time a new film of...

Sorry about the posts today. I saw Somewhere Monday night, and ever since then Sofia (and her films) have been on my mind and have got me thinking about a lot of things.

– via nudawn (via 6od) Maybe this is just common sense to some people, but I never looked at it that way before. I guess you can get so desperate to be with another person, that you will just use people to not be alone. I’m guessing that’s why so many people refuse to break up, even...

Screenwriting Tip #486
screenwritingtips: Most people do not act rationally under pressure. Remember this — it’s one of your biggest sources of drama. I needed to hear someone else say this. I have been criticized, at times, because characters I wrote seemed (to the reader) to be overly dramatic because “I wouldn’t do that in real life”. It doesn’t matter. This is a movie. You can amp things...

I had a dream last night that I ran into Stanley Kubrick outside of a drugstore. I said “You’re supposed to be dead”, to which he replied with a shrug, and said “Yeah, supposed to be”. I then told him how  no one would ever believe me that I saw him, and he agreed with me. Then he took off a ring he had on, something that resembled a class ring, and gave it to me. He...
