So we had technical difficulties, so if you weren’t keeping up with me on Twitter, you didn’t get my thoughts (sorry). A few post game feelings though… You all know how much I’m a fan of Clooney, so I was genuinely surprised/amused at the disgust and hate when he didn’t get the Best Actor award. […]
Alright, let’s look at the biggie: Best Picture Who I Want to Win: Hm. Good movies this year, but nothing that feels like ‘I’ll stop whatever I’m doing when this comes on cable next year’. I’d say ‘Moneyball’ but now I want to pull a ‘reverse jaded’ move (yep, made that word up) since Pitt was […]

So, I want to make my first feature length film… Step one, as is always the case, was creating the script. I caught parts of Clooney on the Actors Studio over the weekend, and I agree with his sentiment that you can take a good script and make a bad film out of it, […]
