Now Playing: Liz Phair's "Johnny Feelgood"
i'm only two-fifths done with my violence -vs- silence video and i'm already sickening and offending people! i dub this project a success! Rachel (upon viewing it) said "holy shit, i think i'm gonna throw up." Michelle's mom watched it was offended and, in the words of Michelle, "got pissed."
good. if you enjoy watching this, there is something seriously wrong with you. that was my intent from the beginning.
i watched Oliver Stone's "Born on the Fourth of July" last night. Oliver Stone is kind of writer/director where he either makes the most amazing movie in which you cannot imagine a different (or better) way to tell the story, or he makes incredibly boring CRAP. this film belongs in the first category. if you've seen "Platoon" and liked it, this is the perfect follow-up, almost a sequel, to that film.
this morning i drove up to Knoxville (any other mortal it would have taken an hour and a half to two hours to get there, me, i made in one hour! my return trip was even shorter as i reinacted my favourite scenes from "Smokey and the Bandit!"). i went up there to shoot some B-roll for the IVF DVD . . . and was done in 20 minutes. filmed all of 10 minutes of footage. got some good stuff, just seems an exhaustive process for 10 minutes of footage. actually, in the film world, that ain't bad at all. three hours of work for ten minutes of usuable footage? that's got to be called a successful day.
i'm currently burning a CD, as i typically don't listen to the radio and need some new music to listen to. don't worry. i purchased most of the songs completely legally. kinda.
i better head off. i need to think of new ways to offend people.
