There have been tons of election videos, but this one really made me laugh and you can send it to your friends with their face on it! What could be better? Check out the link - http://sendables.jibjab.com/sendables/1191/time_for_some_campaignin#/teaser/1191

If you can't get in to see The Dark Knight this weekend, here's something you can watch until then:

Shooting a Road Movie! It's over a week since I completed the 48 hour film project. I took off for a few days in Las Vegas to recooperate. I can now reflect. It was an insane 48 hours. I got about 5 hours of sleep in two days. I started becoming delirious...and yet I kept going. We only had 48 hours! So, it was utter insanity, but a lot of fun too. I'd recommend it to anyone. You should do it!

This may sound like a delusional blog, being that I'm writing it on 2 hours of sleep. It's about 13 hours into the 48 hour film project. Everything is still quiet...for about another hour. It was smooth sailing, at first. For those of you not in the know, the 48 hour film project is basically writing, shooting, and editing a film (with music!) in 48 hours. You get a genre, prop, line of

For those of you that are like, WTF is this?!?!?! It's Maniac Mansion - another Lucasfilm game (like Monkey Island). And, this person solves it in NINE minutes!!!!! I never even FINISHED the game and I spent hours on it. Craziness. So, I just had to share. And, maybe you can only appreciate it if you were an 80s/90s Lucasfilm videogame nerd, but hey, whatever. You can at least laugh at the

Woo-hoo! I'm a winner! I wrote a script in a month! I finished Script Frenzy! Woo-hoo! I'm just taking a moment to gloat, being that I wrote 25 pages in the last few hours in order to try and finish my script tonight. My thought for today: You can do anything you set your mind to! Okay, it's time to go do some cartwheels. I've looked at the computer screen enough for today!

Google is great! Every once in awhile, when I think of something long lost in the past, I do a google search and suddenly, there it is again! I took a moment today to look up one of my all-time favorite video games, Monkey Island. I know I wrote a blog about it last year, but here I am thinking about it again. I was thinking about old school video games, having talked with friends about the

It's a hot day in LA today. Just felt like sharing. And blogging. If only for a sentence or two.

It's April and you know what that means? SCRIPT FRENZY!!!!! For those of you not in the know, Script Frenzy is basically your own personal challenge to write a 100 page script in a month. And, this year, it's the month of April. You don't have time? Yeah, well, that's the point. You make time. You stay up late. Get up early. Just write the script. It's only a month. Surely one can survive one

Fans of the television show Moonlight are trying to save their show. For those of you not in the know, it's a show about a vampire detective. So, this time, it's not nuts they're sending to the network (Jericho) or tabasco sauce (Roswell) ...but blood! And, they're not exactly sending it to the network, they're donating it to the Red Cross in the name of the show. I thought that was pretty cool.

It's St. Patrick's Day and here's a fun film with Leprechauns - "Darby O'Gill and The Little People" Happy St. Patrick's Day! Wear green! Drink green beer! Eat green eggs or other fun green food! Find a four leaf clover! Follow the rainbow to a pot of gold! Have some Lucky Charms! Watch a movie starring Leprechauns!

YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO BE LIKE ROCKY! (Tony Robbins tells the Rocky Story...) It's ALMOST time for SCRIPT FRENZY - aka write a screenplay in a month! It starts in April. That gives you at least 2 weeks to gear up, get ready, and convince yourself that it's the best idea for you EVER! Oh, come on, you KNOW you want to! AND, all my Hollywood friends, COME ON! This is HOLLYWOOD - everyone has a

The ORIGINAL Lost Boys! I read a random article a couple weeks ago and I just had to share it. For anyone who loves 80s movies (and I definitely do!), the two Coreys (Haim and Feldman) are part of 80s movie history. And, they will be together again in Lost Boys 2. I know they had a reality show, but that doesn't REALLY count. This is a movie! It's exciting! I really just had to let everyone

Every once in awhile, at the Academy Awards, there is a moment of inspiration. A moment where you go, WOW, they totally deserved to win and not only did they deserve to win, but it makes YOU feel great that they won. Like maybe one day, you could do something that great in your life and have one of those moments too. In the past it's been people like Cuba Gooding Jr winning Best Supporting

It's a day for romance.... And, what says romance better than the movies?!?!?!?! Here's my tour of romance in the movies, thanks to youtube, and lots of free time: I started with the most recent movie that made my heart go - Yeah, true love does exist! Even if it was a fairy tale. :) "Enchanted": And, when thinking of fairy tales, one can never get too far from "The Princess Bride," a fairy

Will it be a go (two thumbs up!) to end the WGA writer's strike today? The WGA is making a decision today whether or not to accept a deal that would end the WGA writer's strike. Exciting!

Sometimes I think it would be nice to be a cat. Cats don't get stuck on writing novels or screenplays. Cats sunbathe, take naps, and play with string. Perfection. When I get stuck in my writing, I tend to want to go and do something else. Anything else. Raid the fridge, eat a chocolate bar, make tea, clean my room, dust shelves, do laundry, make cupcakes, take a walk, go to the grocery store,

I just read a blog by James Rocchi from the huffingtonpost.com about the inspiration of Roger Ebert as a writer, film critic, and supporter of independent and foreign film. I am a huge fan of Roger Ebert, having read his reviews ever since I can remember, as well as watching his television show with Gene Siskel. I always look at his reviews if I'm unsure about a movie...or even excited about a

This is me, procrastinating. Ah, the fun of photobooth. I've been procrastinating on writing this blog. I'm not quite sure why since I actually enjoy blogging. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I want this blog to become something different this year. Last year, I had just started a blog and it was more about just writing something...well, anything of interest that I thought

There will be changes coming for this blog in the coming week and perhaps the entire year. It all has to do with things that I hope to accomplish in this bright and shiny new year. More to come soon!
