All that school does is leave people with chips on their shoulders.  I graduated in '06.  Haven't really looked back.

I daresay I prefer Your Highness over Pineapple Express!   (As a former daily potsmoker, I was really surprised how little I cared for PE.  The movie's just rife with problems!).  But I do love the minotaur cock and the yoda handjob!

I believe what you're thinking of is called The Limey, and it starred Terrence Stamp and Peter Fonda.  The actual Laurel Canyon mostly consists of getting cut off by the dickheads in SUV's that speed through the Mulholland turnoff so as to cutoff the other 30 cars trying to get over the hill.

As a former Valley-dweller, I've always looked at the denizens of Laurel Canyon like most right-wingers see the OWS crowd.  They need showers, then jobs.

It's called Mud, we wrapped a little over a week ago. Matthew McConaughey-Reese Witherspoon-Michael Shannon.  Directed by Jeff Nichols, who did Take Shelter.  Really tough movie, but think it could be kinda good. Enjoying a hiatus from work in Alabama right now, feature in Atlanta in January, then New Orleans after…

The Asst Production Coordinator didn't update the email list when they mailed out the first script this September, and suffice to say, I read 301 (Titled "The Gunfighter"), and we should definitely be seeing more of the Dixie Mafia this season.

re: Post-production, you'll be hard pressed to find ANY studio film that was cut on film.  Last time I talked to any post guys (my drinking/Breaking Bad buddy works in post, but not yet in the studio market), AVID and FCP are the standards.
And everything posts digitally.  It's called DI - digital intermediate - and…

Thanks to Follow that Bird, it was a solid twenty years before I could have an open mind to Dave Thomas.  Such a dick in that movie.

They're all too busy being submissive wives?

Any person, man or woman, who chooses to spew and breed rabid nationalistic anti-gay and anti-Muslim rhetoric is fair game to being called a bitch in my book.  Doesn't matter if they're running for president or no.  

Agreed with Mr. Greene.  It's damn near impossible to tell the difference these days.  This month's American Cinematographer has a piece with Roger Deakins gushing about how the Arri Alexa surpasses any film camera in terms of image, period.  We're there, he's said, and while a few years ago the difference in image…

There's a reason I know that campus from the back of a ride-behind mower.  But the campus is gorgeous, and there are plenty of cute girls who don't mind getting chatty with the help.  God bless!!!

Instructions for trolling:
1) Find a cultural niche in a very unique region, rich with their own history, both proud and shameful.
2) Immediately declare your superiority, with a healthy heaping of apathy towards any outside perspectives.
3) Be a fucking douche.  
4) Go cry into a pillow while masturbating to La…

You've already acknowledged that you don't claim our country as your own, and expressed that viewpoint with a good deal of arrogance.  Something about Alabamians?  We don't like snooty fucks belittling us, domestic or foreign-based.  Not in your comparison of Alabama and black America, but in your pithy metaphor…

For whatever it's worth, I think it should be pointed out that I've not met or heard of one person who thinks what that fuck-schmoe did to the trees at Toomer's Corner is cool.  Not one Alabama fan that thinks Auburn had it coming.  Sure, there are some nuts in the batch, but even the rivalry exists largely for the…

HOOVER BUCS!

Oh man, when I was in high school and college, I spent my summers on the groundskeeping crew at BSC.  Some of the best summers of my life.

Grew up in Birmingham, and remember how at my sister's wedding reception, they had a side room where people could sneak off and watch the game.  Which was fine, it wasn't too obtrusive, just a little nook where the die-hards could enjoy their thing.  
I can't really claim to understand the bitterness of the rivalry too…

Three types of rehearsal:
Blocking - usually a private rehearsal at the start of each new scene between director, DP, AD and actors.  They block out the movements around the set, figuring out who does what when and talking through the major beats of the scene.  Pretty much everybody does this, if only to sort out who…

I don't disagree, but I think the film's attention paid to the atmosphere of Gotham City (the national reaction to terrorism) was always the better metaphor.  The film almost (ALMOST) advocates the Bush policies by advocating Batman's [weird surveillance plot device] approach to the Joker, but kinda takes the easy way…
