INCEPTION just got dreamier

Image

After shooting these scenes director Christopher Nolan fired the writers, cast & crew and decided to "go another direction" on the feature INCEPTION.

Post-Thanksgiving Pre-Holiday Neurosis

Image
Hello. This is a slightly different blog posting for me. Lately I've used this blog as an extension of my video promotion, releasing my videos on another format for additional random e-onlookers. Today I think I'll write about my experience (both internal and external) of a big fat American holiday, the Thanksgiving. The funny thing about blogs and I guess videos on youtube, is that you never know who will view them. True they are public, but the universe is public now. Blogging doesn't seem to be the rage it was a few years ago. Twitter seems to have replaced the blog. People want the micro-blog at 140 characters or less. And to be honest, writing more than 140 characters just seems like a lot of work these days. I guess the thing now is to tweet that you wrote something in your blog... to all of my 139 followers on twitter (both real and cyber-real, that is a promotional add on to companies who auto-follow you whenever you mention a word related to their product.) So und

The Ghost Writer film review

Image
The Ghost is very much alive EXCELLENT. 21st Century Chinatown. Haven't seen a thriller this good in years. Go see, very Hitchcockian , very enjoyable. Woody Allen is kicking himself that his crappy Cassandra's Dream wasn't half as good with the same cast. The whole cast here is excellent with no weak links. I finally get to like Pierce Brosnan . Finally a coup for Polanski who is masterful here. This should be at the Oscars, not some of the drivel being spoon fed to us. Let's just hope it makes it. I love John Anderson 's summary in the Wall Street Journa l (filling in for my favorite, Joe Morgenstern ) "The Ghost Writer" is so rich you may feel you paid too little for your ticket when the whole thing meets its very Polanski-ish climax. Please don't tell anyone. The trailer doesn't really do the film justice. When I saw it I thought there wasn't much to it, looked like another John Grisham movie but I'm glad I read some reviews. I

BLAME IT

on Hype Williams & Auto-Tune. Hats off to Jamie Foxx though. So it took me 7 or 10 months to see the video, now that I did I love it. Although I don't know if they're serious or not, but as viewer watching Ron Howard roll gangsta to a club with Forest is hilarious. Another point that makes me wonder is that aside from the A+ cameos, it looks like it was made for $50. If anything it is a great use of editing. Jaime beholds the gift of T-Pain and Auto-Tune and gets the party started. I just don't know what to think, but I'll keep watching. Watch for Morris Chestnut , a woman who looks a hell of a lot like Rihanna , Quincy Jones , Bill Bellamy (!), Jermaine Dupri and my longtime favorite, Garrett Morris and yes, even Cedric the Entertainer drops in. Oh yeah, T-Pain , Sam Jackson & Jake Gyllanhaal are in it too. ;-p comments welcome.

Week o' Love: Day 7

Image
And now a blog for the women: Today is Valentine's Day , the day on which we celebrate love, especially romantic love. The holiday was named after an early Christian priest, St. Valentine, who was martyred on February 14 in 269 A.D. The tradition of exchanging love notes on Valentine's Day originates from the martyr Valentine himself. The legend maintains that due to a shortage of enlistments, Emperor Claudius II forbade single men to get married in an effort to bolster his struggling army. Seeing this act as a grave injustice, Valentine performed clandestine wedding rituals in defiance of the emperor. Valentine was discovered, imprisoned, and sentenced to death by beheading. While awaiting his fate in his cell, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with the daughter of a prison guard, who would come and visit him. On the day of his death, Valentine left a note for the young woman professing his undying devotion signed "Love from your Valentine." Poets Robert Bro

Love Sick Words and music by Bob Dylan I'm walking, through streets that are dead Walking, walking with you in my head My feet are so tired My brain is so wired And the clouds are weeping Did I, hear someone tell a lie Did I, hear someone's distant cry I spoke like a child; You destroyed me with a smile while I was sleeping I'm sick of love But I'm in the thick of it This kind of love I'm so sick of it I see, I see lovers in the meadow I see, I see silhouettes in the window I watch them 'til they're gone and they leave me hangin' on to a shadow I'm sick of love I hear the clock tick this kind of love I'm lovesick Sometimes the silence can be like thunder Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder Could you ever be true? I think of you and I wonder I'm sick of love I wish I'd never met you I'm sick of love I'm tryin' to forget you Just don't know what to do I'd give anything to be with you Followed by another one of

Week o' Love: Day 4

A Man Alone by Stephen Orlen I hated breaking up and I hated Being left, finding myself in an apartment With an extra set of silverware and a ghost, Impatient to be gone. Then to summon up Who I was before the bed was full with woman. To shift the street-mind from getting to To slowing down and window shop. In the bar down the street, To let my eyes simplify again, and make no judgments, And breathe in the smoke that drifts Through one body then another, And find myself close enough To whisper into a woman's just-washed hair And inhale that ten thousand year old scent. To memorize a phone number. To learn to say goodnight at her door. To keep my hands in my pockets, like a boy. To open the heart, only a little at a time. "A Man Alone" by Steve Orlen

"This Year's Valentine" by Philip Appleman They could pump frenzy into air ducts and rage into reservoirs, dynamite dams and drown cities, cry fire in theaters as the victims are burning, but I will find my way through blackened streets and kneel down at your side. They could jump the median, head-on, and obliterate the future, fit .45's to the hands of kids and skate them off to school, flip live butts into tinderbox forests and hellfire half the heavens, but in the rubble of smoking cottages I will hold you in my arms. They could send kidnappers to kindergartens and pedophiles to playgrounds, wrap themselves in Old Glory and gut the Bill of Rights, pound the door with holy screed and put an end to reason, but I will cut through their curtains of cunning and find you somewhere in the moonlight. Whatever they do with their anthrax or chainsaws, however they strip-search or brainwash or bl
