My article about Armageddon’s earth-saving technique linked to by RopeofSilicon. The geek in me is rejoicing. http://is.gd/22ci
This is my favorite episode of the /Filmcast: After Dark ever: http://is.gd/22jO Paul Scheer is SO the man…
Geez, I’m still trying to get through that same video and still mad at VIMEO. VIMEO, you are truly a piece of crap.
VIMEO: I HATE YOU SO MUCH. Why are you so f*cking choppy all the time? You destroy my enjoyment of short films, which was already limited.
This must be the slowest film news day ever….
Just finished writing a huge project today. Huge. Like 25-pages long. Finally have one night to relax a little bit.
Had a really troubling dream last night about about two old friends who I’ve lost touch with. Very sad.

J Yamato from Rottentomatoes hated my Tropic Thunder piece. Kind of like hearing that someone you admire thinks you personally are a moron.
Oh man…I think justin.tv is down. And on the day that we’re supposed to broadcast the /filmcast on them…..
I wrote this essay about Tropic Thunder last night while I was at the airport. Debating whether to post it on Slashfilm…
