Adult Swim starts at ten. When I update the TV guide program on my computer, it locks the TV (on my computer) channel so I can’t change it until it is done. Since I was watching Cartoon Network (for the adult swim) the night before, that is what it gets stuck in. It’s only 8:30. Mucha Lucha sucks.
Dangit!!! I forgot to record Lost AGAIN!!! Aaaaahhhhhh!!!!! Jennifer Garder is hot, but Alias sucks. Also, the woman who plays her half-Latin half-sister is hot, too. The show still sucks.
So, it’s about time I actually wrote something worthwhile. Ah yes, the movie. I tell you what, I am such a suck up. If you talk to your teachers as though you actually like the subject (which I genuinely do), they will bend over backwards for you. It’s a win-win (more like win-tie) situation. I mentioned I was in the Scramble and he asked for me to bring my film in so he could see it. Heh.
That new Wes Craven movie looks crap-y. CGI dogs never work.
Anythony and I decided we wanted to enter the Sidewalk Scramble. Our team name was J.J. and the Cannabinoids. Cannabinoids are the addictive elements in marajuana. We didn’t know that until afterwards. We also spelled it wrong on the form. We spelled it Cannabanoids. Huh.
The rules for the Scramble were thus (why do I talk like that?):
- We had to take a fruit to the kick-off meeting. We chose a star fruit. Then we learned that the fruit had to appear in our film. Stupid star fruit.
- There had to be at least 30 seconds of continuous lack of dialog. We ended up with about 2 minutes.
- The color blue had to play a significant role in our film. Every point of conflict in the film is blue.
- Our film (and everyone else’s) had to start with the same three lines.
Well Jennifer Gardner’s sister is in a coma. It looks like she is going to die. Huh. I’m glad my name isn’t Carmine like the dude on CSI:NY.
Our movie follows a couple’s argument as they drive down the road. The leads are Daylyn and Rachel. I admit that I didn’t think Daylyn would do very well, but I personally think it would be possible for him to win the Best Actor award.
A dude on the Survivor promo just biffed it a-la-MXC.
The acting was pretty good, which is cool because I was working on that aspect of directing, but I am slightly disappointed that the shots aren’t snazzier than they actually are. I usually need a bit to develop the snazzy shots in my head. No time.
Check out the photos in the “production photos” album on the right hand navigation bar.
Does there really need to be a crash zoom in an oatmeal commercial?
We should find out by tomorrow if we are in the top 15. The top 15 are eligible for prizes. If not we will be screened two hours earlier with the other losers and 16 year olds. :-)
