if you’ve ever said “I really wish mtv would play music videos like they used to” then here’s their shot at redemption: mtvmusic.com
it’s still in beta, but you can go on there and look for that music video you haven’t seen in years. pretty much what you already have been doing on youtube, but with better video quality.
the first thing I checked for on this site was this video.
this is a very worthwhile read.
not convinced? how about some excerpts:
Do the math. If one week you state, “‘Mr. Untouchable’ makes ‘American Gangster’ look like a fairy tale,” and the next week you say, “American Gangster” was “Goodfellas” for “the next generation,” then you must conclude that “Mr. Untouchable” is better than “Goodfellas.”
A trailer is not a movie. Thus, when urged to select your “picks of the week,” you must never pick a trailer for an upcoming film. You must actually wait to see the film itself.
I usually don’t watch the soup, much less anything on the e! channel, but by pure accident I caught this segment:
if that doesn’t summarize the dynamic between jon and kate I don’t know what will.
it’s migration season and hss is not immune to the ways of the bird — it has left the barren lands of blogger and settled in the warmer climate of wordpress! and it’s definitely not flying back in the spring.
if that made absolutely no sense to you, what I just proudly announced was that I switched my blog publishing system from blogger to wordpress. for us nerds it’s kind of a big deal.
I gotta credit mike for giving me the last nudge to push me over the edge to make the change. tack!
file under: holy fuck.
ever watch a clip on your windows media player and you see a shot you really like, and you’re like “oooh I wanna do a screen grab!” but when you try you fall flat on your face?
hooray!
addendum: turns out this won’t work with dvd playback.
as hilarious as this is, what’s not hilarious is reading the video comments made by the myspace using youth of america. for instance, I can’t believe to this day there are people who believe obama is muslim. what?
I’m mainly pumped for the two dudes who are slightly out of focus in the back: john cho as sulu and my main man simon pegg as scotty.
the third and final presidential debate, also known as å¤§çµ±é ˜å€™è£œè¨Žè«–ä¼š in japan, is airing tonight at 9pm.
…which is also when the season finale of project runway season 5 airs.
america, you have to make a very tough decision tonight. and then in a few weeks you’ll make a very easy decision.
so I hadn’t mentioned this yet, but principal photography for megaman finally ended in early september. we shot for SEVEN MONTHS on this thing.
immediately following megaman I started working on a new project the eaters. it’s a feature-length film about a band on the run from zombies, trying to get from brooklyn to long island. it’s a great script and has a very tight cast, and I enjoy working on this film a lot.
but so here’s where the irony comes in. like I mentioned we shot megaman for SEVEN FUCKING MONTHS. megaman is a sci-fi action film and there was TONS of fighting involved. I came out of it without a scratch.
yesterday, on the set of the eaters, I was about to go up a small flight of stairs when I somehow lost my balance and fell off the first step — which was like 1/4 the height of a normal step — and sprained the living CRAP out of my ankle.
what the fuck.
update: it’s not a sprain, it’s a CUBOID FRACTURE. it’s a rare thing to happen apparently, and I’m finding a real hard time finding a good resource on it online (other than people with this fracture posting on forums). anyway, there’s your update.
