See, this is what the blogging mindset does to you: just because my pal Piper tagged me with this Alphabet Meme nearly a week ago - which is roughly four months in blogging years - I feel haunted and vexed and tormented to respond, despite the fact that I’ve been unable to craft an exciting, [...]

Leave it to my blog-pal Piper to roust me out of the too-much-working, non-blogging malaise I’ve been experiencing lately by tagging me with one of his ever-loving movie memes. What a rascal!
In Lazy Eye Theatre’s 12 Movies Meme, Piper challenges me and a handful of others to program two weeks’ worth of movies if we [...]

Hi, Sharon Stone. It’s me, Burbanked. I figured, as a fellow western Pennsylvanian and an accredited member of the burgeoning Pittsburgh film bloggers community, I would take the initiative to reach out and bestow upon you the kind of true kindness that only kind people can give so freely and kindly.
Sharon Stone, it’s time for [...]

You wouldn’t be reading this right now if you didn’t have some kind of a passion for blogging as a writer yourself or as a reader of the format. With that in mind, ask yourself this question: do you get more of a thrill out of writing your own site, posting and sparking a discussion [...]

Dedicated screenwriting 101 here: From an interview with Harrison Ford on the MTV Movies Blog in which the inevitability of another Indiana Jones movie is mentioned:
MTV: Is the ball in George’s court at this point? Ford: It is. That’s the process. With some general input he goes off and searches for the MacGuffin and then stumbles into a story. And at some point we have a chance to take a look at and give some input.
Now granted this is Ford’s opinion of Lucas’ “creative process”, yet still: when one of the three principals of the Indiana Jones legacy classifies the story creation process as a haphazard, one-man effort that only superficially seeks outside input, it’s hard not to feel frustrated. Not surprised, just frustrated. Dear Mr. Spielberg: please put your foot down and either demand a coherent story or walk away. Just do us all a favor, could you? Maybe? (found via FilmDrunk)(2)
11.19.2008Okay, I need your help here. Sonny, Michael Corleone and Tom Hagen keep bringing up the fact that they want to go see Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa.
How do I get out of this? I love going to the movies with my boys, opening up their minds to the great pleasures of cinema and all that, but this is a hard one. Please help me: do I suck it up and just go, or can anyone out there provide me with a plausible, kind-hearted, permanent way out? (10)
11.14.2008I’m not sure how to say it nicely: This one-sheet is crap.
(additional thoughts about Apatow/Sandler’s collaboration here) (3)
10.23.2008What an excellent tribute to the late great movie voiceover guy Don LaFontaine. No need for more words, because the Voice already says it all:See more funny videos at Funny or Die (5)
