| Xanga actually emailed me saying I was missed because i hadn't touched their site in so long. The movie is nearing completion. Rough cut is done, clocking in at 93 minutes. I'll trim a few things, adjust some sound, add a little music here and there, polish the credits, and that should be the end. It's a lot better than I expected. Meaning it is not the most boring, retarded, oblique, garbage cellphone-quality video ever produced, which is what I thought was going to come out of all this. No, it's entertaining and hopefully a little ingenious. School is starting. Snap. | | |
| Holy, been that long huh?

| happy 7-7-07. Killrockstars.com is having a sweet sale, all KRS and 5RC vinyl is only $7. Akina got the Elliot Smith New Moon 2xLP and I got Hella's The Devil Isn't Red 12" for a grand total of $17 including shipping (media mail is delightful).
We got back from our film road trip thing on sunday. We drove up to Preston, Idaho and back in 4 days. Barstow sucks, we bought a williams sonoma spoonula for $3, got pushed around by a Frye's salesguy, got the foulest smellling car wash ever in Vegas, drove through the crazy canyon in the corner of Arizona at night both ways, arrived and slept at Zion national park at 2 am in a new walmart tent after passing on overpriced motels - $16 for the night because we managed to avoid the park entrance fee due to our early morning arrival time, drove through utah which is better than nevada, salt lake city is weird and home to only one black person (as far as we know), arrived in preston idaho, visited napoleon filming spots, bought a fashlight and a couple t-shirts at napoleon's DI, drove to and filmed at spiral jetty where brian caught wild sea monkies, filmed lots of smooth slow-mo on our Sony HDR HC7, drove straight on from spiral jetty home with a couple stops in joshua tree and redlands, for example a goodwill where brian and I each got a brown 3-piece suit and a tie, and I got a 90's neon TMNT carrying case. The trip was fun despite several instances of flipping out due to not knowing what the hell we were doing, and what to do with the project. Brian even got a piece of a mammoth tusk for free. California>(is greater than)Arizona>Idaho>Utah>Nevada>Barstow Keep a lookout for the movie that comes out of all of this. It should be pretty odd and endearing. | | |
| We moved near Los Feliz. It's nice. Hardwood floors, high ceilings. Akina is an intern at Black Dragon Society, and I might be soon. I got a $2500 grant from the Alumni fund to make a movie about three kids raised in a cult who drive across the desert in an old volvo going to thrift stores. I'll probably be shooting on a Panasonic DVX-200. A notch below the HVX-200, but almost my ideal. I need to hammer down a schedule. And maybe script some of it. We are working on canvas totes in addition to all the other stuff that I haven't finished yet.
Tomorrow there is an opening at Black Dragon in Chinatown, as well as some other galleries. Come, it should be fun.
Also, Mike Mills sent me these links to five videos he made for the new Blonde Redhead album 23. They are some of the best videos I have ever seen. You will laugh, you will cry, you will not puke. This is not Wayne's World. Check them out and show all your friends.
This one has Miranda July doing one pose per second:
Top Ranking
This one is incredibly visual:
Silently
This one made me cry:
The Dress
This one is beautifully subtle:
Impure Hair
This one is a recut of Titanic:

Good stuff, no? | | |
| Insult to injury! And further proof of Michael Bay's down syndrome! Now, in the live action Transformers movie not only does Optimus Prime have flames on the nose of his incorrectly shaped cab, but he has a flippin' mouth!
The two not-completely-retarded parts of this movie were that Optimus' head still looked reasonably alright, and Peter Culllen is doing his voice. Scratch that down to one thing that has not been violated. and about a zillion that have. Bumblebee a freaking camaro? Megatron made out of silver thorns? SHIA LABEOUF?! Michael Bay, I hope you stub all of your toes.
In other news, Akina is awesome, and baked some bangin goods lately, including but not limited to Biscotti, baklava, lemon sugar cookies, cofffee cake, and mango losse.
Also, I am about to print a skelekid limited edition serigraph, which looks cool as chuck norris in a black leather members only jacket and aviators carrying a pair of nunchuks.
