In this time of ocean devastation and funky phone antennas it’s nice to know that there’s a Roger Corman in the world.

Cory Doctorow says “This is Spinal Tap for suicide bombers.” That phrase alone has me in line to buy a ticket.

This is cool. In 1927 Paramount Studios mapped out local environs meant to double for distant locations. Who knew Venice, Italy was so close?

The Los Angeles Times has a good article on the pervasive reach of 3D. I liked AVATAR but this 3D nonsense has got to stop.

My kids will be thrilled. Not me. Could care less. Really. Not even interested. Maybe I should get tickets now.

Chaplin before The Tramp

I always assumed Charlie Chaplin’s Tramp character was launched fully formed into film history. Not so. CNN has a great feature on the creation of a classic character.

“Lately I’ve become completely enamored with kinetic typography.”
That’s from Lynn La for an article she wrote at macworld.com. Kinetic typography is the art of putting words to movement. You’ve seen this in the opening credits of films like North by Northwest. Get moving.

Hey, I Wrote a Movie!
09/16/08 10:16 PM Filed in: Work
Eighteen months ago my wife was pregnant with twins. I wasn’t working. Well, not “working” working but there was a lot of baby-prep going on. Dan Myrick, a good friend, approached me with an idea for a movie. We kicked it around some and, since I had a little time before the baby shoes dropped, I wrote it. He produced it. Ben Rock directed it. Julia Fair did a terrific production rewrite when the twins arrived and I was pulled into two wonderful other directions. Here’s the trailer for ALIEN RAIDERS.
