It is great, but it’s not as dark as some are playing up. No sexual violence for example, no sex at all really. And there was one helicopter crash that was lame CG in my opinion, but it’s pretty great for a main stream film. Cool sound design. Ledger does a great Joker, but I predict he’s already won the Academy award due to his demise, and I’m not sure it’s THAT great.
And I’ll probably never go see at film at Atlantic Station again-

Somni 451 still lives!

Hand’s down one of the coolest bookstores in America-

The fast goes well, as does the trip.

“Ah…Layla….”(drool, dribble, drool)

It’s been ready for a while now, but we kept running into technical and legistical difficulties. But certainly the best episode to date…

I got PR on this Doc from one of my tribe.net contacts, having heard about this guy before and pleased to know the film had been made. Being a fan of both buddhism and the DIY punk ethos myself, I see no major problem with combining the two, and thus find some of the message a bit heavy handed and “novice”. Also something about this From Here to Awesome format (’The Auteur’ used the same) seems to really dumb things down for my taste, but none the less, I’ll try to see this film and urge you to do the same. I guess you have to really try to make things accessible in the “modern media overload” landscape, but I say just put it out there and those who are meant to get the message eventually will.

I’ve been sitting on this juicy gossip since last summer, but now that it’s premiering at the Tribeca filmfest in a few weeks, I’m more in the “grassroots promotion” zone than the “inappropriate leakage” zone. My buddy Jason did the sound design (and possibly score) and I got to see bits of the project while staying in the Lil Hobo trailer behind his house. This clip bogs down in shameless self-promotion near the end, poor Malice seems hard pressed to memorize a PR spot. Also shame on one of the other actresses for not finding time to grant me a podcast interview while I was out there…and after all of the $1’s I’ve given her over the years. OK, so not that many…
