Stuff That Makes Me Laugh


Ok, I know it's sick but I have watched this clip about 50 times and everytime I watch it I laugh my ass off. I know it's childish, but this is freakin' funny.

How honest are you ... really....

I thought this survey was particularly interesting as honesty is something I value most in the people around me.
I guess I am about as honest as you can be without alienating most of the populace around me.

You Are 80% Brutally Honest

Most of the time, you tell it like it is. Even if it's hard for people to hear.
Sometimes you hold back though, because you never want your honesty to be hurtful.

Production Update

So it's been a while but we are now T minus 4 weeks in counting before we begin principal photography on my next feature film. I have been pretty silent about this one for a number of reasons, however as we are almost completely cast and crewed up I think it is safe to talk about this one as there is very little chance of this one falling apart.

As some of you may know and many of you may not know, in my spare time (basically when I am not yelling at some agent or begging for financing) I participate in a couple of hobbies. One in which I put on armor and hit my close friends with a rattan great sword. The other hobby is One where I dress up in Red Pantaloons and a fez and recreate obscure battles from the late part of the 19th Century in the US.

Yes I am a member of the SCA and a Civil War reenactor.

There I have said it.

I am also a student of history and an amateur Civil War Historian. The group I belong to, the "5th NY Volunteer infantry Duryee's Zouaves" was one of the finest regiments that fought in the war. My friend Brian Pohanka who died last year (see blog installment June 18, 2005) finished the regimental history about the 5th a month or so before he passed away. The movie we are about to make is based on his book and with any luck the book will be published at the same time the movie is released.

This is the largest movie I have ever made. Over 70 actors and a crew of close to 40. It's huge. However I have great people working with me and for me and I think we are going to have one hell of a final product when all is said and done,

I am going to try yet a again to keep a production journal and I will post interesting or funny things that happen during the shoot.

Ok, I have procrastinated long enough.... back to work.
