Mafferties

I've been mad busy for the past few days.

I was obsessively writing on my feature, re-writing the other two features and helping my little sister write her first screenplay. On top of that, I had school (great fun, like a brick in the head) and I'm writer/producer of a film for the Vancouver Film Race '08. THAT is also great fun and keeps me crazy busy almost all the time.

I have a good crew for it - my DOP and Editor works for YTV, and my Director keeps calling me to brag about how he worked on Battlestar Galactica last night (grr).

Today is an off-day. I took the entire day away from life because I'm getting a tattoo, on my arm, of the Seal of Rasillon (it's a Doctor Who/ Timelord thing).

I've been on a John Cusack kick lately. We studied Con Air in class and he's just adorable in it, so I got hooked. I watched:

"High Fidelity"
Good storyline, good acting, good ending. Kind of emo.

"America's Sweethearts"
Very sweet, good storyline with a lot of good comedic moments. Sometimes the comedy goes a bit too far, but the relationships are great, and the whole staying with Monks and the what follows as far as that goes is rather well done.

and "1408".
A 'Stephen King' style movie. The character is very well flushed out, it has some BAM! spooky moments, some really cheesy moments... but the ending is kind of blah.

I also saw Kung-Fu Panda which was very cute and deffinately worth watching.

I should go now. Cirque Du Soleil is in town and I have to go acquire an Illustration job so I can afford a ticket xD
