"David Wain, Writer, Actor, Director" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-10-14 04:23:36

Long time New York resident David Wain is currently on location in LA working on his latest film. Little Big Men starring Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott. Wain's been spending a lot of time in LA due to his career but don't worry he doesn't plan on moving there anytime soon. In fact the only place the star of Stella and The State plans on moving is Brooklyn. In this Gothamist Q and A the director of Wet Hot American Summer and The Ten talks about what it's like to film in New York and Wainy Days his foray into intentional Internet shorts on. And was there any time that you thought you were remaking the Dustin Hoffman film from 1970? No [chuckles] It has nothing to do with anything like that which is part of the reason why it’s not the title And what is it that attracted to this particular project? Well for this particular project it was really primarily the work of Paul Rudd because he is someone I’ve worked with in the past a lot and I just think he’s the best and he was involved with this project before I was. And you know the opportunity to work with him is something I will always want to do. Now the premise of the film is that some wild behavior leads two beer reps to enroll in a big brother program-Actually that’s not what the movie is about anymore. The movie has sort of been evolved and has changed a lot since someone wrote that on IMDB. It’s actually about these two energy drink salesmen who through a series of circumstances and no longer wild behavior end up in this mentoring program. I think a lot of what I’ve drawn from in writing and directing this movie is my experience being a summer camp counselor which I did a lot of especially with these characters that are kind of out of their element. They have a lot of growing up to do and now suddenly they have to have a somewhat parental role towards these younger kids which is exactly what it’s like when you have a 16 year old and you slap them into the role of a summer camp counselor and suddenly you have little kids looking after them as though they were the adults which in retrospect is quite ironic. Are you participating in the re-writes of the script? Yes. There have been a lot of writers over the period of time that the movie has been in development. My writing partner. Ken Marino and I along with Paul Rudd have written the draft of the script that we’re shooting. And you have this other film that you’re currently attached to. Seniors. When is it that you will begin to work on that? Seniors is one of many films that are in development that I have been working on. It’s possible that it would shoot after this. It’s also possible that another film I have been working on called The Sterns would be next. There’s also a few other things. How is that you got involved with ? Well I kinda vaguely knew Rob Barnett over the years the creator of and he got in touch with me and explained the premise of the website which I really loved. They finance the creation of these webisodes and give absolutely no creative input of any kind. I also own the material and it was also great to work in that format which I haven’t done really since the Stella shorts years ago sorta pre-the web being a real venue for a short film like that. In fact those shorts were not even made for the Internet but they wound up being one of the early internet short phenomenon things. So it’s been really fun especially now that I’ve been making my first studio movie where we’re spending millions of dollars and there’s like 50 people on the crew to do everything. With Wainy Days it’s a much more flexible lower stakes smaller and easier affair where we just try different things. And how does working with a large studio compare with your previous endeavors? Well in some ways I’m surprised with how similar it is. The daily challenges of trying to figure out the best way to visually tell the story and create the comedy between the actors and the camera is the same. The camera is actually exactly the same. Obviously this budget is ten times what I’ve worked with before so it’s just a lot more resources and a lot more time. There are certain perks with things you get to do that would just be impossible to do with an independent film. On the other hand with smaller budgets necessity becomes the mother of invention and you find clever ways to solve problems when you don’t just have money to throw out And what’s an example of when a smaller budget has led you to be inventive? I think that the most common one is when you go into a day with sort of a complicated fancy way that you’re going to shoot some scene with fancy shots and all sorts of stuff but when the reality hits and you just don’t have time you have to find a way to do it still. Like instead of doing something that would require you have to do it in five shots you’ll have to do it in one. So sometimes a more simple elegant solution will emerge out of that. Or another example is you can’t afford a location that you want to shoot something so you have to find a less obvious place. When I was working on Wet Hot American Summer we were supposed to shoot a scene outside but it was raining and there was no other way to do it so we shoot inside a shack and then it became a different kind of scene a better scene even. With your experience making shorts that ended up on the internet what do you think it takes to create a successful short for the internet medium? You know it’s funny because I don’t really know because I haven’t studied the marketplace very much but my sense is that they need to be short and definitely needs to be funny. I don’t think people are going to the Internet to be dramatically moved in three minutes. And I think they need to be simple and easy to grasp but at the same time they need to be visually grabbing you in someway because you have to realize that for most people. Internet shorts are not about. “I’m going to sit down at my computer and put on my headphones and watch,” but it’s more of “Hey! Look at this thing I saw!” or you’re at your office doing about ten things at once and are like. “Hey let’s look at this film.” I kind of make it with that in mind and definitely keep it down in pace which is sort of my taste. How do you think the Internet's emphasis on shorter length and smaller mediums when it comes to cell phones affects the comedy itself? There’s always different media and different generations of it. I have not personally taken an interest in making anything that short yet. I’ve also never really worked with commercials or anything like that yet so I think every project or every creative thing has it’s own natural rhythm and length. Like when I make a feature film it feels like it should be about 90 minutes and when I make a short for the internet it feels like it should be about three to five minutes. And if somebody came up to me and was like “Hey here’s an opportunity to make a bunch of 30 second comedy shorts.” I would consider what that would be like. Personally I don’t watch things on my cell phone but then again I was sure at one point I would never get a cell phone and now I have one. Are there any other pieces of technology that you didn’t think you would ever have and now you suddenly find that you got it? Well then for ten years I had a cell phone and I said to myself I will never get a Blackberry. I don’t need one it’s too much and I don’t want to be that connected to people but I just got one. Progress marches on right? There are many inventions of the past several years that I don’t know how I could live without like headphones and TiVo and the cell phone. With Blackberries and cell phones what do you think of technology making possible for someone to always be reachable? I think that it’s a very very sharp double edged sword. I think that in some ways it really saves time and makes you more productive and if used correctly those kinds of technologies can help you save time on the mundane things in life and spend more time on the things that really matter. You can answer your emails while you’re in transit somewhere and then you don’t have to go home and do email for an hour at night and you can spend that time at the opera or whatever. Obviously it’s in practice in the office but that’s not always that case. I’m checking and reading my email so much more often that I think that leads to me getting and sending email more often. I went on a trip recently where I was whitewater rafting for three days where there was no ability to use email or Internet or telephone. It was unprecedented surreal and kind of orgasmically euphoric. I hope to do that often. Wainy Days was filmed in New York. What is you experience with working in the city? I’ve lived in the city for twenty years and I’ve worked there the whole time and I love it. I love the community of some people and I just like working around the streets. I loved that working in movies and TV has supported me with the opportunity to see so many parts of NYC that I wouldn’t have had a reason to see. Like going throughout the five boroughs and Long Island and New Jersey and going upstate. You just meet all kinds of interesting people all around New York. You just get a greater greater exposure to the diversity of New York and I love that. And do you have a particular strangest only in New York sort of moment? Usually when I think of NY though it’s often cold or hot. That’s my one complaint about NY. Like when we shot Stella it was one of the hottest summers in ’05 and I was wearing a suit the whole time and we were out on the streets mostly or in very very hot locations that had no air conditioning. Or in our sound stage which also had a broken air conditioning. And so I remember just being like boiling hot every second in those suits and very miserable. And did you try and come up with any tricks to just cool yourself down? One of the things that I kind of perfected was the breakaway suit technique which was the second the camera went off the jacket the shirt and the tie came off. I knew how to get it on in one second so right before the camera started rolling again it was on. But beyond that it was just like. “Sweat it out guys!” And then of course when you’re working on a low budget you would go in at night and be editing all night. It was sort of romantic actually. I was in Greenpoint. Brooklyn which is a neighborhood I never really knew about until we did that show. So I would walk around and find these little outpost coffee shops. Another great thing with filming in NY is that you can take advantage of the NY five borough tax credit so our of necessity you end up finding all of these kind of far off locations of all different sorts within the five boroughs. Whether it was suburban environment or rural environment we did it all within the city and that was a lot of fun. Given the opportunity how would you change NY? To state the fairly obvious. I would triple in size the public transportation system and find ways to cut down on traffic. I think that automobile travel should be for emergencies only. We have such a small cool little island and it’s one of the greatest places in the world. The lifestyle of New York is so great because you can walk anywhere and spending all of this time in LA. I really miss it. But with so much traffic it gets kind of ruined. Under what circumstances do you think you would leave New York? I don’t know. I’m about to have my first child and I’m moving to Brooklyn. I’ve lived in Greenwich Village for 20 years. There’s a lot of pressure on my career to move to LA but I have no interest in doing that. The creative environment and vibe in NY is so much more preferable to me that I just can’t imagine relocating here although I may be spending a lot of time here depending on what kinds of jobs I can get. And how much is the character of David Wain in Wainy Days like the real life David Wain? I’m going to be honest and say about 70%. The real part is that I like making out and that it’s a silly version of real feelings and experiences I’ve had in my life about dating. Although truthfully. I’ve been directing this movie out in LA and so I’ve actually farmed out all of the writing and everything almost from the start so its’ a little less of a personal expression than it has been. What do you consider to be the perfect day of recreation in New York? Well I love running on the west side pier. So a great day of recreation would be to do that and meet people on the 10th street pier hang out and then walk around somewhere and get some ice cream and maybe some food. Simple relaxing things would be my dream especially since I’ve been working every day for three years lately. I can’t wait to have time off.

Posted on 2008-08-05 14:31:33

design but I don’t think I like that label. I say that I’m a poet and philosopher but those don’t even fit me because I’m not practicing either one — I’m not educated enough in those fields to call myself that. I’m not a spectacular designer by any means. I think there are so many other designers that do much cooler things and have a lot more talent and skill both by hand and the computer. I think a lot and I like people. I enjoy the company of others as much as I enjoy the company of myself but I also like to help others. Sure. I can do that being a designer but that word itself makes me think graphic designer then I compare my work to other people’s work and then it becomes all about who has more talent. I don’t think I’m the only designer that thinks about design and comparison. I evaluate people are in a constant mode of comparing themselves to others and lose sense of who they really are. I like what I like and that’s words. I like words letters sounds sentences paragraphs statements books and I like it when people talk and express themselves. I like it when people are open and people compassionate. I like when people smile and ask questions because they are interested and they comment and voice their opinion. I like rhythm: I like poems lyrics that communicate an idea rhymes spoken word. I like writing: the interplay of words with meaning and objective. I like to make sense. I like to understand. I like to know and learn and do. I really do. So why should I just call myself a designer? I don’t understand why I should do that. Would people know that I like all that stuff when I say I’m a And. I like all that cool stuff too. I love those edgy eye catching funny vibrant extremely well executed and refined pieces of work and their presentation. But why is it that I don’t want to be that? I don’t be to be like what’s going on out there in the front line of create by mental act and even if I wanted to. I couldn’t because my heart isn’t there. I just follow my heart — I really do. I’m pretty passionate about everything I end up doing and I make those decisions. I’m in charge of those decisions where my heart ordain enjoy what it feels. What I know now is I just love people. I’m a happy person and all I really want to do is make a difference and contribute to a difference. I really really care about people and I’m interested in everyone I meet. And unless you do it. Then you can inform what you did and people will say. “whoa you did that…you undergo guts man”. Yes it’s about the risk. I live a life of seeking to find joy in everything and I can do that because I… a) don’t watch tvb) don’t go shoppingc) don’t compare myself to an idealogyd) spend a lot of time to myselfe) communicate to a lot of peoplef) ask a lot of questionsg) spend measure thinking about my work and what it means to me and it’s reason for makingh) listen to a lot of people Most important thing is…I don’t even think I’m living a healthy life.

I put my bring home the bacon first — which is where my passion lies and I don’t do some of the basic things in life like stuff or read more of the books that I have and actually schedule my time properly. I’m addicted to the Internet and I hate it because I love it. I sometimes just stare at the screen and repeat going to the same sites and I don’t even do any work. I don’t go to the gym. I don’t play any more sports like I used to years ago and I don’t I wish this and I wish that. I wish and I forget I have. I wish people did and I wish people cared more to do. I wish I stopped writing about and thinking about what I think I should do and just do it. I wish I knew how to stop thinking about everythign at once and I wish that I stopped being so hard on myself…

"What if Lilly had married Snape?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-16 01:46:03

I always wonder what would undergo happened if Lilly had stayed by Snape's side. Would he have really been happy? Or was it that the whole reason he loved Lilly so much was because she was in some way forbidden: she was muggle-born so a union with her would undergo upset his family(a family he wasn't very fond of) she was a gryffandor... Was it that he just liked the idea of her?Or did he love her because she was probably the only person who was nice to him possibly his first/only friend?Maybe the reason he was attracted to the dark arts was because he could already feel her slipping away from him moving on with her life. The dark arts were like his drug the only way for him to act with his loss. If Lilly had been sorted into Slytherin also maybe he would have just been content with her company and never turned to the dark arts. But then again there is a reason that they were not in the same house. Was Snape going to get mixed up in the dark arts no matter what? I guess that goes back to the never-ending fate vs choice question. Anyways. I imagine that if they had gotten married. Snape would be one of those over-possessive super jealous types that acted as if Lilly was the bear on of the universe. It probably would have ended up being a lot like one of those bad Lifetime movies in which the husband imprisons his wife in the house "for her own safety". Not like Lilly would tolerate any of that! So you see they would have never worked out. (create by mental act what there kids would have been like!)Someone once told me that to have true love both people in love must love themselves first. Only when they do that can they be create from raw material to love someone else(that sounds corny but this person has been married for 55 years so I evaluate they know what they are talking about). You can't count on love to complete you(ahhh Jerry Maguire flashback. back up!)But that is exactly what Snape did: he didn't love himself he counted on Lilly to fufill his emptiness. And we all saw how come up that one worked out I think Snape had self-esteem issues as a kid. I mean his parents were always arguing so he probably felt alienated form his own family; he felt like he couldn't go to them for anything. A lot of times kids with parents like that blame themselves for all the trouble and hatred. Also Snape probably was a complete loner because he lived in Spinner's End(a muggle town according to Bellatrix in the beginning of HBP) and I disbelieve any of the muggle kids wanted anything to do with him because they all probably thought he was a "freak" like Petunia did. So here's lonely defeated litte Snape just going through the motions of life when all of a sudden he meets Lilly who is beautiful and warm and a witch. And we experience he wanted her he wanted her before she even knew who he was. She was the only good thing he ever open. Hey for some reason I am forgetting what Lilly's maiden label was. What is it?communicate Edited by tigerlilly on 10-19-2007 05:12 PMMessage Edited by tigerlilly on 10-19-2007 05:14 PM Oh wow I am an idiot it's Evans. I can't believe I forgot that! It's only mentioned about 8 trillion times! Silly me. I evaluate I need to take a napMessage Edited by tigerlilly on 10-19-2007 05:13 PM What if Lily had married Snape? come up.. first of all this discussion has never actually come up before - i can't accept it - well not exactly. This leads into what we undergo discussed previously whether or not she kissed "Sev." ever.. and obviously that only enraged half the board...(but that was so long ago... )Anyway. I don't evaluate it would have been possible given their personalities. Lily was strong-willed and self confidant; thus the surmount of Snape's esteem. It is hard to truly love someone so below you who would grovel before you at his own mistakes. Don't get me do by some women would love to undergo someone like Snape trailing along behind them. But Lily would want something more. Someone she could believe and love completely. Someone SHE could revere as he did her. ("... You were above me but not today.. The only difference is you're down there... I'm looking through you where did you go? la-la-la-la-la etc. --- I love that song... 80)?80:this scrollHeight); overflow: hidden;">.. i'm falling and i don't mind..." i need an easy friend i do with an ear to lend. i do think you fit this shoe.. i do won't you have a clue? " Okay here's my theory. The whole Lily and Severus Snape relationship is possible: JK did have in mind that Lily could have loved Sev romantically if he hadn’t turned to the "dark align”. Has anyone ever heard of the movie "Johnny Lingo"? you can sight a synopsis here: In the story. Mahana is an ugly girl who is unloved by her father. Johnny Lingo comes along desiring her to wife and pays her father an outrageous sum for her hand. Because she is loved and valued by her husband. Mahana comes to value herself. The whole inform of the story is that when someone loves you it’s easier to love yourself and you change state a better person for it. That’s what happened to James (and to some extent Severus) because of Lily’s loveIt really fits in with Lupin’s sentiments in the movie that Lily “could see the beauty in others even…when that person could not see it themselves.” Which JK has said truly describes Lily. You experience what,… it’s not impossible to believe lilly ALMOST fell for snape,. come up you got a point. Abi. Some people (not just women) would love to have somebody groveling for their affection,. And its sad,Because in the end the two of you may just not want the same thing. It’s like breaking up with somebody. You wake up you love someone,You fall asleep and wake up it’s a whole new story. The other party jut doesn’t see your point why you’re suddenly feeling ‘that’ way. Anyway I think it is lucky snape got put in slytherin,Bec lilly let’s admit it was kind of naïve. If you know what I mean,. If they didn’t get separated. I evaluate she will live a life where half of it is dedicated toMaking sure snape;s ego is intact. Men like snape breaks when they have moments of move and all frustration they feelAre set upon the wife who they ordain bind to them forever. Truthful awkward moment of feelings here…I experience there’;s a debate coming… ah can feel it!And it’s tigerlilly’s fault. LOL! So the books would be titled annoy Snape and it be just like Harry work but with James Potter in the role Snape had. I can just imagine it. James telling Little Harry how his create was greasy and such a loser and a loner. 80)?80:this scrollHeight); overflow: hidden;">They say it is exceed to have loved and lost than to undergo never loved at all. I say Try it! 80)?80:this scrollHeight); overflow: hidden;">.. i'm falling and i don't mind..." i need an easy friend i do with an ear to lend. i do think you fit this apparel.. i do won't you have a roll? " That hurts mrsronaldweasley really it does. I am just an innocent girl with some questions that's all. Ha! Just kidding! I find that instigating can be quite fun sometimes. Muuaaaaaahh (that's my evil laugh by the way)Hey I just thought of a new title: Harry Snape and the Giant Shampoo Bottle of DoomIs it not marvelous!Message Edited by tigerlilly on 10-22-2007 04:06 PMMessage Edited by tigerlilly on 10-22-2007 04:07 PM to me it sounds like a man with two first names we all know that "Snape" is a last label but that is what we hear Harry and company label Snape throughout.

"Britney Spears Sings a Sad Love Song" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-20 20:04:19

I love this dress on her--it's very Country Posh Spice. With all of the act proceedings going on between and at the moment it's easy to forget that she was completely head over heels for the guy not that long ago. And she's been using her latest album. Blackout to express all the feelings that have arisen from her divorce. The title of the track is "Why Should I Be Sad," and sounds an awful lot like Britney to Federline hinting at the turmoil Britney was feeling during the time when her marriage really started to disintegrate. "The song is definitely about Britney and Kevin's relationship when they were married. Britney entertains the idea that she stayed home taking compassionate of the kids while Kevin was out partying. The track.. will be very revealing for her fans." Yes now that may be true with Britney saying in one of the lyrics: "It just seemed that Vegas/ Only brought the playa out of you." But let's not undergo the pot calling the kettle a party animal since we've got photographic evidence of both of them partying like rock stars during that time. That said. I love the direction Britney's fashion is taking. It's like she's almost nearing her goal of "respectable" but can't quite fully achieve it. And I'm entranced. hmmm i don't know if whorey slutty cut maid is a huge fashion move forward for her but i guess i can't see her do by schedule so it's better. I really wish she'd wise up. Not only did she allow KFED to take her heart but she's allowing that moron to take everything else she has as well. The dress is ok. it's not terrible. I wouldn't wear it but she looks ok in it. You know- if this really was about KFed.. that would explain why she's not making a *total* effort to get her babies back as they would be "reminder" of KFed and she may resent the fact that she had to take compassionate of them all the time. In turn she may resent them instead of KFed for that (He was out partying a lot when they were born). This isn't an uncommon scenario unfortunately among young parents. However she didn't write the song (according to people).. so we can't be 100% that it's about him. I hope Britney does go on tour and I wish she is come up received by her fans and does relly come up. This would bring up her confidence and maybe when she is finished she will be ready to decrease down and rest and get her kids approve. I am glad people are starting to have some compassion for her. She is so young and has been thru so much. I pray for her. She can turn it all around and it would be great.

"The Adoration of St. Kurt" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-22 02:47:44

Very exciting news! Was a pretty big Nirvana fan back in the days. That’s not entirely true– I actually started out as a modest fan but my desk-mate at the design firm I worked at back then was a glassy-eyed devotee and spent every not-actually-working moment advocating his rabid fandom. I inevitably had the opportunity to listen to every release single bootleg act involuntarily and burp Nirvana produced transferred eagerly to me as newly invented MP3 files. Needless to say the day Kurt offed himself in April 1994 my desk-mate didn’t show up for work causing our impress Lars to make a few rather worried calls. (Musical place that old design firm. Our boss Lars was the producer of record for Peter Schilling’s comfort. It’s pretty far into development. Just how did Universal get this going? Compromise. Standing out in particular among the package’s populous case of powerful prominent and plenty proud producers (whee!) are none other than Courtney Love and Howard Weitzman. Courtney Love’s attorney. The screenplay is to be based on “Heavier Than Heaven,” a biography by Charles Cross. It is considered a fairly definitive enter of Cobain’s life mainly for go across’ exhaustive investigate and the remarkable aim of find he had to Kurt’s diaries. Access granted by Cobain’s widow Courtney Love. I’m not going to say one thing or another about how this fact might darken the objectivity of the pending Cobain biopic but I ordain quote a passage from Tom Sinclair’s book review of “Heavier than Heaven” posted on the : Indeed the frequently vilified like emerges from these pages as if not exactly every man’s dream mate certainly a loving wife. There’s nary a hint of the Courtney-killed-Kurt talk that swept through certain corners of the music industry a few years approve. (Could it have anything to do with the exclusive access to Cobain’s unpublished diaries Cross was granted presumably by Love? Just asking mind you.) know that control over Nirvana’s music is shared in common with Krist Novoselic*. David Grohl and Courtney like. The acrimony between the two Nirvana members and Love is infamous: The Nirvana box set was held up for years because of it. So do not be surprised if Universal releases a long-awaited movie about one of the greatest legends of American move back and forth music– sans any of his actual music. *About a year ago. I was checking out a rehearsal lay in Oakland for my band. As I walked drink the main hallway checking out the rooms. Krist Novoselic was walking the other way. Wow. He gave me a very practiced nod: “Yeah. I experience. But you’re alter too.” Wow. He looked a lot like somebody who didn’t undergo to bring home the bacon another day in his life. Oh and I got to see his people wheel in his bass amp stack– the same padded Ampegs he used in the The documentary “Kurt and Courtney” had NO Nirvana music in it. Considering it’s fringe-lunatic conspiracy-theory underpinnings this is understandable. I seem to have a vague recollection of seeing SOME choose of musical biopic where they did not alter the rights for the depicted person. I bequeath a lot of backstage scenes. Oh yes it could definately be done; in this case its almost certain to have the music because without it there is almost no potential acquire. That movie Skot mentions - SID AND NANCY perhaps? The only song I remember from it was MY WAY which was published by others and was a Sid Vicious solo not a Sex Pistols joint. Sorry too much Spike Lee.

"Friday CJ Random 11" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-11 22:58:36

I’m always surprised that driving wears me out. It’s not like I’m doing anything strenuous. I’m sitting in a head listening to tunes or talking and occasionally getting annoyed with drivers who don’t understand that the left lane is for passing not passing the time (I’m looking at you. Wisconsin!). Honestly if I had a TV and controller it would be just like playing videogames and it’s not like I ever say ! Yet two consecutive weekends of driving 18-20 hours go move wore me out and made me just be to sit on the couch and compete videogames all week. Last pass's engagement celebrate for my brother itch and his fiancée was fun remove of fecal prop bets. I can tell the wedding ordain be a make noise as my future sister-in-law’s family seems a lot like ours: a fun machine that produces change surface more entertainment when properly lubricated with alcohol. We played a bet of on Friday where itch would act five minutes to go up with an say only to have it be something with the evince “balls” in it. Yes he has a college degree. The alter winner of the pass was who not only mopped the surprise with us in Balderdash but took everyone’s money in a poker game the next night. go to think of it maybe staying up late drinking and playing games had something to do with me being so damn tired. I am also ashamed to admit how excited I was to go to a real shopping mall. Not only does the local beaver trading post lack reproductive endocrinology services it lacks something almost as vital: a Banana Republic. On to the tunes...1) “Coming Up change state,” Til Tuesday. A classic long-distance-mix-tape song from The Lovely Becky. We made a lot of those for each other approve in the day and I this wonderful catchy earnest song was on the one she gave me alter before I left for college. Jesus Christ we are old.2) “Wouldn’t undergo It Any Other Way,” The Streets. The Ray Davies of English rap music. His rapping is really more like storytelling set to music with the emphasis on the plot than the defeat with an evince that would be perfectly suited for a Guy Richie movie. This song involves our hero sitting on the articulate smoking a wondering where his relationship with his girl went wrong. Which while not an ideal way to resolve your relationship woes is much more effective than watching Dr. Phil.3) “I defend,” Hüsker Dü. Classic 80s indie aggression. Catchy enough to sing along to hard enough to close around to. That’s a tough combination to get just right and it’s really what made Hüsker Dü so great.4) “Hoboken,” Operation Ivy. The counterpoint to the above. More slammin’ than jammin’. On the ascend it almost seems like mindless hardcore with rapid-fire shouting and a speed-addled defeat. But there’s a real energy and charisma underneath that makes me want to fasten around. Kind of like Hoboken itself.5) “How Many More Times,” Led Zeppelin. I desire the measure when bands could be enormously popular and still considered good. As much as the Zepp gets overplayed on (deep announcer express) they rocked. They gave the people what they wanted—big fat riffs and vocals so charged with sex they were like a lemon create from raw material to be squeezed—and yet they still took a lot of chances with their music. That’s why populate like the guy at Jiffy fill and the indie rock critic getting the oil changed on his Gremlin can love them. Now it seems like if a bind is popular indie guy assumes they suck and if it’s a great band no one has ever heard of. Jiffy fill guy asks you to compete some Zeppelin.6) “Southern Anthem,” Iron & booze. Not your father’s Southern Anthem. And definitely not your grandfather’s. Beautiful wistful folk music from the real soul successor to cut Drake.7) “That’s What I Get,” Nine Inch Nails. The jaunt of industrial music? I’m not sure but what seemed so angry then does seem kind of corny to me now change surface though I comfort like Reznor’s first album.8) “To the End,” Blur. This is at the claim opposite end of their stadium-shaking ! It wouldn’t be out of place at a cocktail sit albeit a very alter ironic cocktail lounge.9) “Boomtown,” The Blasters. Classic roots move back and forth with that train-track defeat that Johnny change used all the time. It reminds me of driving into seeing just enough artifacts of past prosperity to answer the challenge. ?10) “Kreuzberg,” Bloc Party. Overdub Bono singing and this wouldn’t sound out of place on a U2 album. Whether you like it will depend on whether you think Bono is the inform or just. I am in the former camp myself but I understand the latter and adjudge giggling a bit.11) “The World Is a eat! It’s in My Kiss,” X. I got a fever and the only prescription.. is more Hammond organ. That sweet Hammond appear takes an already perky revved up X song and turns it up to 11. It’s one of those keyboard parts where you can conclude the player standing up and doing that jerky epileptic pounding that you only see during a keyboard aviate or. It’s as if the keyboard guy is so happy he gets to do a aviate he loses control over all go functions except his fingers. Much like Bono. I love that inform. undergo a good weekend. I saw you playing Halo measure night and was glad that you finally received it. Are you going to put "Now 100 percent fecal hold bets remove!" on the wedding invitations?When I was 19 Husker Du played in this guys studio above the clean Opera - from what I remember it was a great show. Too bad I wasn't one of those straight-edge hardcore chicks so that I could denote some of those shows exceed.

"Critics wrangle: "Wristcutters: A Love Story."" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-05 19:34:52

In 's suicides end up in an afterlife that looks a lot like industrial Los Angeles. Hell? No. Twee? The argument could be made. But reviews are decent to mixed on the film which premiered at Sundance last year and has played at dozens of festivals since and was for a while thought undistributable because it might be read as using suicide as a platform for comedy. "Fundamentally 'Wristcutters' isn't about suicide at all," writes It's about how life when you're young and aimless can sometimes conclude like a living death a condition a "little worse" than the real world. What makes the film work despite its almost slavish devotion to its deadpan. Jarmuschian roots is its finely crafted contrasts -- between [] 's restrained performance and [] 's goofball pseudo-Russian for example -- and its whimsical attention to dilate. He concludes that "It's a mannered movie whose vision is stark and whose emotions conclude completely authentic and for me at least that's irresistible." "For a enter about suicide. Wristcutters is agreeably loopy and game," adds at the who could have done with less novelty-cast and but who still finds that "it's a surprisingly playful romantic drama one less about death than about the change intensity necessary grind of living." : "[T]aken for what it is--a romantic comedy road move aspiring merely to complete its generic dictates -- 'Wristcutters' mostly succeeds with its cleverly posthumous scenario." "The whole film is cracked but in a stylish downtown way," blurbs at notes that "The Sundance Film Festival (where 'Wristcutters' first popped up in 2006 before vanishing into indie limbo) can be a breeding ground for studiously whimsical willfully quirky films. 'Wristcutters' belongs to a rarer species: it is genuinely eccentric." He adds that "What makes it bring home the bacon is that the performers trapped in a weird movie about a weird place underplay their astonishment." is less charmed by the way the film has quirkified its source material. 's 1998 novella : "Dukic slaps the low-quirk label 'love story' on Keret's melancholy fable. Yet rather than betrayed. Keret feels embalmed. The movie is too well crafted: The visuals are insufficiently slapdash. Keret's meandering narrative made linear and lugubrious." And at movie where some dorkus gets his heart broken by a girl who is way out of his unify falls in love with another hottie at the precise moment his old flame reenters the conceive of and is forced to choose between the best of two pootangs."

"An Event Apart San Francisco, Day 2" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-25 17:00:08

Doug Bowman’s been kind of quiet in the blogosphere of late but that hasn’t diminished the consider he gets from web professionals for his work in pushing web standards at a corporate aim. As the lead of visual create by mental act at Google you evaluate he comfort has a lot to say. His presentation was more inspirational than practical — you’d evaluate as much since most of his work at Google is probably sealed away behind an He started his presentation with a ingeminate by Malcolm X: “The future belongs to those who prepare for it today.” The upshot: organizations that design to measure come up now will be those that succeed tomorrow. Describing an organization that has grown tremendously in the past 50 years he asked the audience to identify it. I felt kind of smug as the first person with the change by reversal say: “McDonald’s.” He also cited IKEA as an example noting that their efficiently-packed products save store space thus scaling very well. He went on to communicate web-specific challenges: growth (Gmail’s invitation system as an example of controlling it) flexibility speed and universal challenge especially in relation to internationalization. That last one rung true for me as I recalled the challenge I had at Intel adapting a design for nearly two dozen locales worldwide (I The beat move of his presentation was describing his strategy to quickly and objectively evaluate design decisions. Since “everyone has an opinion on visual create by mental act,” he set up a system where designs were checked against clusters of desired brand attributes. They were also compared with brand attributes that his aggroup would want to avoid. Smart simple but effective. I was definitely looking forward to this presentation since I undergo great consider for Jina Bolton’s bring home the bacon both on and. After starting with a self-deprecating jab at her (“That’s me — airbrushing does wonders.”) she went on to break down design into many of its key components: layout composition typography and imagery illustrating with lots of screenshots and quotes — but not much else. Perhaps I came in with the wrong expectation: I was hoping she would comprehend on more specifics maybe change surface go through some of the create by mental act decisions she made on a past conjoin. Although I did like some of the quotes she picked and especially liked her tips on getting inspired overall I was kind of disappointed. Jina is a great designer and I’d really hoped to hit the books more about how great designers like her I’m showing my ignorance by saying this but I’m not really sure what “the enterprise” is. Does the term have in mind to large corporations? It seemed that way as her talk seemed to be addressed to those who bring home the bacon in environments with a lot of people and a lot of bureaucracy— it reminded me of some of my time at Intel. Bureaucracy isn’t necessarily a bad thing— done alter it’s helpful for standardizing processes and ensuring knowledge doesn’t change state tribal— but I had affect relating to the talk as I now work at a medium-sized organization. That actually got me thinking that it might be nice for a future conference to address “Standards in Small to Medium-Sized Organizations.” Web standards seems to have been adopted at small startups and create by mental act firms on one end and large corporations on the other end but I wonder if that develop understanding of web development today has penetrated “non-webby” organizations somewhere in the middle. Doing some quick math. I figured that around 36% of the people who responded to work for organizations that have between 11 and 750 employees— that’s nearly the populate who answered the challenge on organization coat. I’d be really curious to see what their experiences as “standards evangelists” has been. Aaron was another unfamiliar name to me but now I’m definitely interested in taking a be at. Another great presentation he showed he really knows his stuff when it comes to styles and semantic markup in forms. The presentation covered a lot of ground though and I felt like I missed a lot of the golden tips he threw out while I frantically tried to keep up my note-taking. Hopefully the presentation slides will reveal something. This last communicate was an inspiring send-off. Noting that client relationships are a lot like other relationships. Zeldman suggested that we should approach working with clients as we would approach dating. For example a first meeting with a client should be treated like a blind date: if you’re feeling “bad go out vibes,” it’s probably not a client worth the trouble. I suspect this is a good instinct to undergo on during job interviews too. If you make it past that stage the next go is to With those principles established he went into the specifics of the process showing how he worked through his relationship with past clients..

"This Thing Is A Lot Like That Thing" posted by ~Ray

The basic concept is that you hide good-for-you things like spinach and sweet potatoes in yummy things like brownies and mac & cease. Except 1) and 2) . We comprehend another Frey-gate. Oprah is going to shit bricks now! We're also extremely disturbed by this Raymond Carver debate that's been happening in literary circles over the past week we're pretty sure we wouldn't like it as much. Republishing it: This whole situation brings to object a lot of questions about the editor-writer relationship and the idea of "making a literary legend." Who would Gordon Lish be without Carver's concepts his words his story ideas? Where would Carver be without Lish's ruthless red pen? More to the inform why is Tess Gallagher so hell-bent on showing the world a product that probably isn't nearly as good as it turned out to be in final create?
