I would say this is also an explanation of why Inception is my most anticipated film of Summer 2010.

“Look what movies are coming out this summer: Sex and the City 2 (sequel to a movie based on a TV show based on a book based on newspaper articles), Iron Man 2 (sequel to a movie based on a 2nd-tier comic book), Jonah Hex (based on a 5th-tier comic book), The A-Team (based on a campy 80s TV action show), Macgruber (based on a series of TV comedy skits based on a campy 80s TV action show) Robin Hood (beyond being basically a Bible story in terms of freshness, it’s also for all intents and purposes a sequel to the film Gladiator), Step Up 3D (sequel to a sequel… in 3D!), Toy Story 3 (sequel to a sequel… in 3D!), Shrek Forever (sequel to the sequel to the sequel to a movie based on fairy tales and fart jokes), Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (based on the sequel to a computer game), The Karate Kid (remake of an 80s movie that spawned several sequels, starring the sequel to Will Smith), Ramona and Beezuz (based on children’s books which have already inspired filmic adaptations), The Last Airbender (based on an animated TV series), Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (based on a graphic novel), Nanny McPhee Returns (sequel to a movie based on a series of books), Piranha 3D (remake of a movie that was based on ripping off Jaws), Predators (you know, like the movie Predator, but plural!), Dinner for Schmucks (remake of a French film from a decade ago), Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore (sequel to a movie called Cats and Dogs that I’d never heard of until I Googled it so I could write this). That’s not counting films whose plots are just lazy retreads of previous films. And that’s also not counting the Marmaduke movie.”

Video Updates!

So I’ve recently been posting about a video per day, but have just realized that I’ve missed updating THIS site with those videos. Here they are!

More from the shooting of our new short.

We couldn’t sing at him, and we couldn’t ignore the ridiculousness. The internet was our only way to call out the grade 11 kid acting *way* too cool.

2. Vlog Seven | On the Set of “Jinx” (Part Four)

We’re done Day One of filming. Just lettin’ loose.

3. Vlog Eight | On the Set of “Jinx” (Part Five)

Our second and final day of filming. We find an AV cart and things get crazy professional. But crazy first.

4. Vlog Nine | Vancouver 2010

The opening ceremonies of the Olympics? More like the opening ceremonies of the future.

In retrospect, they had to pack a lot of things and people into that beemer. But we were wasting gasoline.
