Everyone is Talking About Cannes But My Mind’s in Paris

Everyone is Talking About Cannes But My Mind’s in Paris

Cannes may be on industry minds but my mind is stuck in Paris. Specifically, the 1830s Paris depicted in the film Children of Paradise. Before I recommend this film, let me disclose a few ugly truths: It’s in black and white; It’s in French, with subtitles; It’s over 3 hours long (two DVDs); It’s...

For Voyeurs & Readers, With Love.

Have you ever read someone else’s diary? Do you peruse PostSecret or the rants and raves on Craigslist? Did you like The Jolly Postman series or The Griffin & Sabine Trilogy? Are you a bibliophile? If you answer “yes” to any of the questions above, I highly recommend taking one to two hours to...

Talking to Strangers

In one of my favorite dialogue exchanges within the movie Ghost World, Enid (Thora Birch) visits her friend Rebecca (the much-hyped Scarlett Johansson) at work in a hopping mainstream café, ala Starbucks. Rebecca is behind the counter, taking coffee orders from the no-nonsense snobs who are vehemently opposed to being offered biscotti. “God, how...

Paper or Plastic? That is the question.

April 6, 2009

Being a busy college student, I hardly ever do the unnecessary 100+ page readings my professors assign me. (That’s a lie, I’m OCD and do all my work but it seemed like a good opening sentence). Anyway, despite my tedious work habits, I continue to do poorly on my not-so-pop quizzes in my Introduction...

Brilliant! But…never seen?

So, as you may all know, I’m a communication arts major in college. That being said, I have “labs” just like physics, chemistry, and biology majors have labs. These labs, however, are not boring and do not involve chemicals, pig livers, or chloroplast. Instead, we watch movies and TV shows. So, all semester long,...

Friends of the Family Launches – Hilarity Ensues

The internet is full of funny.  This is a fact.  It is home to sites like failblog.org and funnyordie and a million bazillion others.  Sometimes this site even gets a slice of the funny pie.  I’m a big fan of the “digital shorts” format and I’m happy to say that there is now one...
