Movie reviews drunk in the cab ride home
meaghano:
I love Noah baumbach. He makes me feel crazy for at least 30 minutes after each of his movies. He can do no wrong in my eyes. Honestly! I forgive him everything and adore his dialogue; I worship at the feet of his dialogue. I love nothing more than being utterly horrified— that mix of horror and recognition. Who does that better? Honestly. Im not joking. It’s painful to watch; it is...

This is long, but great. I’m always amazed at how crazy serious Dave takes his job, it’s kind of inspiring.
I also love that he spends a solid 2/3rds of the interview trying to light his cigar.

This is haunting and weird and great and it totally freaked the shit out of my cat, so win win win… win. I lost count there for a sec.

claytoncubitt:
“Those of you who watch a lot of Hollywood movies may have noticed a certain trend that has consumed the industry in the last few years. It is one of the most insidious and heinous practices that has ever overwhelmed the industry. Am I talking about the lack of good scripts? Do I speak of the dependency of a few mega-blockbuster hits to save the studios each year, or of the...

molls:
I take hundreds of photos a week (not just of myself if you can believe it) and now I’m going to post all ones that don’t make it on this blog here.
I’m sick of Facebook, ya know?
Sigh. Fine. Follow.
I guess this will have to tide me over until the next installment of the Molls show.

Nostalgia
Believe me, I hate writing about old things, because it makes me feel old.
I set out tonight intending to see a show, to do something new, instead of sitting at home and scanning in old photos and writing about things that had already happened.
I went to see Peter Kruder, of Kruder & Dorfmeister, at some club in a weird part of Brooklyn*. I’d guess that 35% of the crowd there spends a...

Give it a name
I just realized, at the same exact instant the pithy name occurred to me, that my recent bout with early spring/late winter antisocial pissyness has been happening around the same time for at least the last three years.
And so I will now be calling it March Sadness.

The benefits of being disorganized
My filing system for old negatives is fucking shameful, but I set out to find a single photo yesterday afternoon and managed to not only find it, but to stumble across four other rolls of film spanning eight years that had some of my favorite images ever on them.
Now they’re all scanned and ready to dustbust and, eventually, post here. Pretty exciting.
That's right. I'm not wearing any green today....

Ugh. St. Patrick’s. Bunch of fucking amateurs.
Or, as just Vice just twatted:
Guys who look forward to drinking on St. Patrick’s Day are like couples who look forward to “date night.”
It’s like going shopping the day after Thanksgiving, or going to the beach on Memorial Day. Why? Why do it to yourself?
Does the beer taste that much better? Were you not...

Oh, would you look at that. My last project at Method made Creativity.
Do you know how hard it was to concentrate on doing a good job on this thing while simultaneously being put through the ringer by corporate weasels? Pretty damn hard.

Making vs. Taking
I mentioned a few months back that photojournalists have a particular habit of referring to photography as “making pictures” instead of the more commonly used “taking pictures.”
It’s slightly awkward and seems more or less confined to news and war photographers, specifically. I’m not sure why this is, I’d love to find one who will sit still long enough...

Adobe fail
I bought a copy of Lightroom online yesterday morning, from a link inside the application (whose trial period has run out). I was taken to the Adobe store, into which I plugged my CC info, and the order has been stuck on “pending” ever since. There’s a ‘download’ link, but it goes to an empty page. I haven’t gotten a serial number in the mail yet either. ...
