Transformers 2 Teaser
note: this teaser is so epic it covers the right-hand column of this site.
Well, folks are superpumped about the new Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen teaser that has just hit the internet (and will be on during the Superbowl tomorrow). Personally I really like effects shots/teasers that are slow and take their time. But whatevs; enjoy - and definitely click the little arrow in the...

Just saw the first ~45m of Slumdog- I think a lot of ppl love it because it’s not set in NYC, LA or generic US town. Doesn’t happen enough.
Oh, you’ve *got* to be kidding. Stephan Manpearl is going to be teaching marketing and distribution @ #FSOD (filmschooloondemand.com). YES.
That said, my twitter followers + YouTube subscribers are steadily increasing, and I just throw up good content regardless of viewers there
Anyone have good web-traffic increasing tips? I’d love to write/podcast a lot of great stuff, but need to pass the catch-22 of readership!

If I were an actor, I’d like to work for David Fincher. I take a while 2 get “into” it, and he does enough takes that I’d actually be good.

I am really having fun using Final CUT Pro to “write” a silent film. It’s like Previs, but with words for shots!
Well it’s time for Mr. Obama to prove himself, but he’s sure done a pretty fine job of inspiring a lot of people (myself included)

I don’t think Eric Roth knows what “unfilmable” means. If he did, we’d all be without some amazing stories.
Ben Button is one of those films that really makes me want to make films for the rest of my life. Fincher always does that to me.

Interest-Free Student Loans A Reality?
A few MBA students from Waterloo have made it to RBC’s innovator challenge. They have made the case for RBC to start providing Shariah-Compliant student loans for Muslim students. Alhamdulilah they have made it to the Top-5 list and now need your voting to win the competition. If they win, they will be able to present the idea to the RBC executives and there by increase the chances of...
WatchThe Golden Globes, Live.
Looks like it’ll be another year of not watching the Golden Globes - I never have, but always want to, then lose interest on the day.
2 things I remember from last night’s dream: John Lasseter had an Indian accent (he doesn’t) + Kung Fu Panda was a 7 day rental (it isn’t)
I might had just had a major breakthrough in my 1st feature film story. Took ~3 years of constant yet passive thinking to get here, though.
