... and now I'm MARRIED... woah.

Yes this is my reason for lack of updates...

If you would like to check out a couple more of the professional pics from the wedding... you can see them at Crystal's site:

Content coming soon... especially since there's another commercial contest coming up...

Awwww yeah.

I'm 36!

I know I say this every year... but THIS year let's make it count!

As I write this I'm listening to Bruce Timm talking about developing Batman for the WB... What am I doing with myself!?!

Well I'm gearing up like crazy for a bunch of personal projects... Just been a bit distracted with the wedding...

Regular updates to begin...

I couldn't love this more...

This has been making the internet rounds, so it's likely you've seen it SOMEWHERE else before here, but I'm going to post it anyway simply because I love it. A guy has a conversation with his 12 year old self...




 I must have watched this at LEAST... 4 times now... Which doesn't sound like much, but it's actually a chore for me to get through most Youtube vids... so there you go.

There was a recent episode of "The New Girl" where two of the characters played a video for one other character that he had recorded several years earlier, warning him about getting back together with an ex girlfriend (does that make sense? Try to keep up...)

Anyway, it was a brilliant idea, and one I wanted to rip off on "Kneel Before Pod"... have Kev, John and I talk to ourselves in the future... Something we could look back on years later.

Then this vid comes out with a guy who did it already, starting 20 years ago.

Do we bother?

If there's still a youtube 20 years from now, It's ALL going to be people talking to themselves from the past.

Ah well... Bravo to this guy.

 As they say... "Today, you win the internets"

"Sorkinisms"

I'm not the biggest Aaron Sorkin follower. I've never watched the West Wing, and don't know half the shows that are seen in this clip. That said, I'm a huge fan of "The Social Network" and think it's one of the best written films I've seen in years.

Today I watched this vid (embedded below) that shows how much of Sorkin's dialogue is regurgitated from project to project. In know way do I show this to say "Ha... that's shitty", but instead post it to say "Ha... if Sorkin can regurgitate dialogue in his scripts, then surely a lowly wannabe like me can get away with it as well!"



What show is that with Nate from Six Feet Under?! That guys awesome.

Storytellers: Neil Gaiman

Keeping with my current trend of posting vids of people who do what I want to do, talking about doing what I want to do, here is a really cool Neil Gaiman address to the University of the Arts...

 

I wanted to have this blog be more about projects "House of Ten" or myself are working on, but the only project being worked on right now is mine and Arlyn's wedding... Until that is all wrapped up, there won't be a lot else going on. However, the wedding itself has a few projects I will be sharing soon... I couldn't do a wedding without some sort of video project taking place.

Again, If you're bored, you can check out wedding stuff that I have already leaked here:

Storytellers: Lindelof On LOST...

I loved LOST... Still do. I LOVED the ending. A lot of people don't.

I do wonder though, of those who HATE the ending, how many people just flat-out don't get what happened.

I was reading a LOST message board a few weeks ago, and one guy got all pissy saying he should have been a writer on the show, and that he's written TONS of fan fiction episodes that are far better than the episodes we were given. He finished his post by stating that he had actually written a great final episode that didn't have all that "They were dead the whole time" shit.

Fer fux sake.

So although I hate posting on message boards, I basically had to crap on this guy and say that if he thought everyone was dead the whole time, he had no business writing ANYTHING about LOST.

I figured this kind of idiocy must be rare, and then I saw the following interview...



This guy is actually interviewing Damon Lindelof and tries to give him shit about his crap ending to LOST.

However, the interviewer doesn't understand the ending AT ALL, and Damon has to explain it to him like he's a child.

Any way, aside from the idiot interviewer, this is a great watch... I like this Damon Lindelof guy. He should have taken a crack at The Dark Tower when he had the chance.

The Garage...

An article about a show I was involved in a while back has surfaced....

"Garage" - TV series from Sam Chou on Vimeo.


The show is in limbo right now. I actually had a lot of fun writing short episodes for it, but I guess it needed less "The Wonder Years" and more "Farting".

You know... one of these days... I'm gonna work on something that actually gets distribution, heh.
