Movie Time

I’m starting the first day of shooting on the feature film I’m in tomorrow. It’s called Pooltime. I’m excited and a bit anxious, hoping I’ll not only remember my lines, but also how I want to say them, while being open to something different happening in-the-moment with my fellow actors. I’ll be posting a bit [...]

More Filming in Newhall

Days two and three went quite well on the shoot. Saturday the director said he’d decided his original location wasn’t safe enough to dangle an actor from, so we headed to Vasquez Rocks (of Star Trek TOS and Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey fame, among many others) to try to steal a few shots before [...]

High School Musical: Not Bad at All

I was fully prepared to cringe my way through. I’m not the target audience for this movie, but as musicals-for-tweens go, it was watchable (geez, damn with faint praise much?).

I think I’ll spoil it for you. Bullock [...]

Media Roundup 2

I guess it’s been over a year since I did this. Luckily, there are a few new things to put up. If I’d been stuck in the same stuff for twelve months, that’d be a little pathetic, no?

MUSIC

I finally dumped eMusic and went back to CDs and sharing with friends. The hot stuff [...]
