It was about 6:30am when the drugs kicked in…the knowledge that in a few hours time, I would be in a place of fantasy, wonder, and awe. And B.O. LOTS of B.O. Yup, it was that time of year again. My second-straight trip to Atlanta’s own Dragon*Con, the annual Labor Day convention of all things […]
Ten years ago, I was spending my birthday working on cleaning out my grandfather’s house. He’d passed away on July 29 from Cancer- his death had a profound effect on me, and it took a long time to heal from it. Music helped me in that process. When I returned to Georgia State that Fall […]
See what I did there. I made it clever…ish. Anyway, this year’s January-April look back is going to be structured a bit differently. The reason? The usual format doesn’t really fit because, at this venture, I haven’t really seen anything that out-and-out sucked. Plus, for some time I’ve been meaning to post an explanation of […]
“How on Earth is music going to figure into this series?” Ahhh, but that’s the $64 question I’d been asking myself as I headed into “Baron Wasteland.” Intended to be a documentary-esque series, with so much dialogue & speaking about the projects, would I be able to work in music into the narrative of these […]
Hello one and all. I hope that 2010 has been going well for you in the first few months of the year, and as always, you may feel free to request off of this list at anytime, and I will honor your request. This year has seen a rejuvenation in my creative output. Yes, I’ve […]
Anytime one gets a chance to reference Spinal Tap, one must take it. The song in this blog’s subtitle is one of the group’s funniest. So, over the past week I’ve been taking some vacation time from work. (‘Cause you know, starting movies is oh so exhausting…) Among my accomplishments was getting a clearer idea […]
Happy April Fools Day everyone. Is it just me, or does it seem like Warner Bros.’ release of the 3-D version of “Clash of the Titans” feel like an April Fools joke? (Haven’t seen the 3-D version, but what I’ve heard doesn’t inspire confidence.) Well, today I’d like to present my newly updated “Movie 250” […]
This is turning into an interesting project. So the goal over the past two days was make significant process in filming “Baron Wasteland: Littered With Failure- The Career of Baron Brian von Skutle.” How significant? Well, let’s just say enough that I’d be able to begin editing the first two chapters of this seven-part series. […]
In retrospect, the show kind of sucked. The presentation, that is. The hosts? Mildly amusing. Presenters like Ben Stiller and the pairing of Tina Fey and Robert Downey Jr. were far more inspired. I loved the opening number with Neil Patrick Harris (making me hope he hosts one year), while the interpretive dance during the […]
Snooch to the Nooch! Well, with the Oscars finally happening on Sunday, it’s now time for my final look at the nominees, and a look at my final predictions (all nominations listed in order of preference), and whether they’ve changed in the past month. Before I get to the festivities, though, an update on where […]
