“Blago Blago: One Island, One Man”

August 18, 2010

So Blagojevich was convicted on one of 24 counts of being a douchebag. And now he shall achieve ultimate celebrity! He'll film a reality series from his own jail-cell island. The island will be called Blago Blago. Just like Bora Bora. And Tora Tora will perform Wild America as Blago's hair whips in the tropical winds... Coming soon to Bravo. … [Read more...] about “Blago Blago: One Island, One Man”

The Arts of Life Band

August 18, 2010

So I'm working on a story about The Arts of Life Band — made up of musicians both with disabilities and not — and I filmed and edited a short video (54 seconds) of their performance the night they opened for Bobby Conn at one of the Pitchfork after-parties.

And I was thinking that hmm, could that add extra germs to … [Read more...] about Toilet Paper Roll Reflections… And Art?

Shhh…”Shutter Island” Not the Shit

March 7, 2010

Seriously, the creepy woman whispering “Shhh” in the trailer — that’s the best part of Shutter Island. But the end even ruined that part because you’re like — this woman’s really crazy, how could they get her in on this whole orchestrated plot? I love you, crazy woman. She should get an Oscar for “Best Featured Performance In a Trailer To Get People To Go See a Lackluster Movie.” … [Read more...] about Shhh…”Shutter Island” Not the Shit
