Catching Up

So obviously I haven't posted in over two months. What the Hell. Well, things suddenly got very, very busy at work. like how busy? How about FIVE concurrent campaigns on the exact same timeline busy.

There was a stretch where I worked five weekends in a row. And I don't mean the pansy-ass work at home shit. I mean five weekends in the office, both days.

I wish I could entertain you with all sorts of stories, but work is, for the most part, confidential. Suffice it to say that we've been taking business form other shops and they're none too happy about it.

Then there's the fact that, well, I've been working a lot, which means I don't have a whole lot of personal stories or anecdotes to share with you.

For the first time in years I didn't make it to the San Diego Comic-Con. Not entirely because of work either. I had trouble getting a room at a decent rate so I sort of gave up looking. I have seen Iron Man, The Dark Knight and Wall•E. So there's that I suppose.

I probably won't be doing any major posts for a while, but if you want to be bored by me on a more regular basis, you could always subscribe to my Twitter feed. I'm not a huge lover of Twitter, but its easy to update on an iPhone. Twice the boredom of this blog at a higher frequency.

Fire

Woke up just over an hour ago after a long 14 hour night shoot. Had a week of 4am wake-up calls. All worth it. Tremendous footage in amazing locations and can't wait to start seeing assemblies. Flying back tomorrow.

I Like Candy

Did another double feature on Saturday. Caught Iron-man for the second time. Still Ironlicious. But first, took in Speed Racer on IMAX.

I'm not quite sure why the critics hate this film so much. It delivers exactly what the Wachowskis promised: a film for the entire family. It's rumored they even shot for a G-rating. It's too bad the cynical part of each critics heart can't accept this movie at face value.

It's pure eye candy. Over-the-top Technicolor cotton candy made for little boys. Adrenaline fueled summer fluff with groudbreaking effects.

It feels like the podrace from Episode One. Therein lies the problem I suppose. Clocking in at 2 hours, 15 minutes, its about 30-40 minutes too long.

Catch it in mindnumbing IMAX and turn off your brain. If nothing else, you'll be using this flick later this year to demo your Blu-Ray system.

Click on the images for giant-sized sugar overload.

One Weird Chick

A day late and a dollar short, but in case you missed it, the new Bjork video is out. Shot by Encyclopedia Pictura and months in the making. Wired has the exclusive 3-D version to further blow your mind.
