MAYBE TOO MANY MOVIES CAN MAKE YOU SICK

Ugh … something happened to me last night, and I think I now have a cold. Hopefully, it will be a short one, but it is likely causing me to miss a show at Bowery Ballroom tonight that I was really looking forward to. Meanwhile, I have a ridiculous number of New York Film FestivalContinue reading “MAYBE TOO MANY MOVIES CAN MAKE YOU SICK”

NO TIME TO SLEEP, WHO HAS TIME TO WRITE? (A MINI-NYFF PREVIEW)

Exhaustion has set-in, and I haven’t even started the actual job yet. The past week-and-a-half have been filled with New York Film Festival press screenings. Four on Monday, four on Tuesday and two today, plus another screening this evening. Thankfully, things start to ease up tomorrow, and I’m planning to start the waterfall/diarrhea (take yourContinue reading “NO TIME TO SLEEP, WHO HAS TIME TO WRITE? (A MINI-NYFF PREVIEW)”

I’LL BE BACK WHEN MY JAW SHUTS AND I STOP SEEING RED

BITS OF FOCUS: IT’S MY BIRTHDAY AND I’LL CRY IF I WANT TO

Ooops, I did it again. Three days without a post. My bad. I’m sorry.

On Sept. 21 2004 andContinue reading “BITS OF FOCUS: IT’S MY BIRTHDAY AND I’LL CRY IF I WANT TO”

LAST WORD ON A FRIDAY

Well, I managed to disappear for another week-and-a-half. How did that happen? Especially with the Emmys smack dab in the middle and all these things left to write. I’m going to chalk it up to August sucking royally, and now that we’re in September, I’m going to try to suck less … or, at leastContinue reading “LAST WORD ON A FRIDAY”

PILOT POST: DAY ZERO – I know, I know … I’m late to the party!!!

Welcome to my blog! Why a blog? Aren’t blogs sort of over? Or at least, new blogs. I mean, all the cool kids have been doing them for years, and as usual, I’m a little bit late. I’ve actually been writing this blog for several months now, as long as you recognize (as do I)Continue reading “PILOT POST: DAY ZERO – I know, I know … I’m late to the party!!!”
