Wow. I love Dash Shaw's low-fi sci-fi psychedelic aesthetic, and this animated film he's been working on looks amazing. Music is solid, building building building. It looks like a dream with a plot. Can't wait to see the final product, here's a trailer…

A couple of things here. One, I love the word raga. It's so great. Two, this film looks pretty amazing, and you know, I've got a birthday coming up in a couple of months.
hey you guys know that story about GZA being at SxSW and showing up really late for his set and being completely drunk and forgetting lyrics and just generally giving an awful show? did you know it was because he had been partying it up big style with Bill Murray getting wasted in the middle of the day? true!
check the relationship below from JJ's Coffee and Cigarettes, which you don't need to see really…bu this scene is so amazing. The way he cuts to the close-up when BM says "Wu Tang Clan!" And the little augmented "ting" when the tea cups clink…so much fun…"I wouldn't hold my breath on Ghost"…
When I heard about this film, I thought, it must be a joke. But apparently it's not. The true story of the creation of Facebook. Written by Sorkin, directed by Fincher, starring that guy who was awesome in Adventureland. And Timberlake. I don't know what to think, but it's def got me interested.
I give this to you on Thursday, specifically not on Friday.
playing in the drone band, I think about that phrase a lot, "too many notes", 'cuz we try to stick to one note per song…and when I yt'd up that scene, I was so impressed by how amazing it is…there is so much going on in it, from the politics to the jealous composers to the genius…I love that when the Emperor is finally prompted to say that there's too many notes, Mozart doesn't hesitate to hit him back with "there are neither too few, nor too many." ZING!
Joseph Gordon Levitt, aka the kid from 3rd Rock From the Sun, aka the main guy from Brick, aka by all accounts a pretty awesome guy, turned his camera on the paparazzi and made this short film. It's pretty entertaining…

Some of the stuff we were shooting in Seattle reminded me of this scene from Hudsucker Proxy…probably the best scene in the whole film…
I may have to get this DVD. There are so many cool images and ideas packed into the first 1:00 clip reel part of this…stimulating to the extreme…
sometimes the net just kind of makes you chuckle. and that's ok.

sometimes the links move so fast, and the internet works so quickly and fierce, and I end up emailing things to myself, and then I have no idea how, where or why I came across something…
so here it is…
To say that I am geeked for this would be an understatement. In fact, I am so geeked for it that I'm already trying to de-hype my own brain so the film has a fighting chance of being actually good. Perhaps the idea of this film is better than any film could ever be. They've got tons of the same folks working on it, Jeff Bridges is in it, and it's in 3D. Whay do we have to wait until next December?
This is kind of spellbinding. I don't know where I came across this…the intro is kind of long so I cut it for you…make sure to see the bit with PIglet as Dennis Hopper (or vice versa)…
This vid has a fantastic soundtrack, and a story that feels like a Saturday morning cartoon gone all pcp demented. It moves from weird to weird with a beard, and this is a good thing. In another universe this would be a big hit.
It's basically about this vulture guy who has a dream that he builds an inter-dimensional car for this evil pilgrim snake, who is in turn thwarted by Magnificat who has a magical cane that can turn into things (clouds, saxophones). I think that was one of the plots Shakepeare was considering for Hamlet, but he went with the whole ghost/king/death/crazy instead.
I offer this to you to help you get through your Wednesday. Use it liberally.
this should feel good, but it makes me nervous…
really well done tho…make that tea!!
