So with the Oscars just a week away, I started my annual Oscar movie-watching extravaganza.

On Wednesday I went to see Good Night, and Good Luck which left me underwhelmed. It was a bit too heavy-handed and overt in its message for me, and I felt that none of the performances or technical elements were extremely noteworthy. I felt very little ( Read more... )

Today, while standing in line to pay for my bagel, I noticed that I was standing next to a guy in a funny Eupropean military trenchcoat and hat. I looked closer, and it was Austin Scarlett! I left him alone, because we made eye contact and I could sort of tell that he knew I recognized him and he seemed shy. Anyway, I guess that's what happens ( Read more... )

I began today bright and early, with a 7:30 train ride to midtown. Sadly, it was a holiday, so the train took forever to come that early, and went through Hoboken. I rushed to get to the office by 8:30, when I'd been told to be there. Then it turns out no one was there to let me in til almost 9. Thanks. The first few hours were very chill, not ( Read more... )

I don't dislike you anymore. I still tend to disagree with you on a lot of movies, but after reading this article on Krzysztof Kieslowski's Trois Couleurs trilogy, I have a newfound respect. Perhaps I'll give some other articles a try. This, for example, rivals any of Pauline Kael's best. It almost makes me want to rewatch the films, though I ( Read more... )

I no longer work at Who's Who, Thank God. I quit yesterday. I've been looking for something new for months, since the summer, and while I've thought about several different industries, including pharmaceutical sales and fundraising, I decided that I had to get back into film, even if it meant a paycut, or not being in production, per se. I had ( Read more... )

Barely anyone's done this. I mean, everyone is doing this whole Johari thing, but so far only four people have done mine. So here it is again, along with a Nohari window.

Jo!

No!

You do mine, I'll do yours.

Hearing all the people outside shoveling the sidewalks and laughing and having a good time in he snow makes me sort of wish I had to do the same job. While I'm glad I don't have to maintain the building, they all sound like they're having so much fun, and it seems to be a community building experience. It might be nice to know my neighbors ( Read more... )

Yeah, I know it's been over a month. I'm a bad boy. But this is an easy entry to do.

Johari What?

I won't even lie and say that more entries are coming soon or that I'm going to catch up. So much is going on that I don't really care if I don't write it all down here. It doesn't seem worth my time.

Happy Birthday, David Bowie ( Read more... )

Alison is home!!!!! We've been apart far too long ( Read more... )
