making movies, seeing movies

Tuesday was my first day on a film set ("Budgeting Basics"---look for it to blow away Casino Royale at the box office). It was so cool, and I'm learning so much. I ran lines with actors, coached the voice-overs, made decisions about wardrobe, settings, and if the students look really hard they can see me as an extra in a coffee shop scene. And I only clumsily tripped over a chord and spilled the director's Coke once...not bad for me. In short, I helped make a movie, and it was freakin' cool.

I've seen quite a few movies recently...so we're going with the Haiku Review!!!(click on the titles for more indepth and less syllabically constricted information on the films)

Casino Royale

Daniel Craig is hot
charismatic and bad-ass
Best Bond film I've seen


Stranger Than Fiction

determinism?
or is it all just free will?
skillfully acted


Borat

sophomoric but fun
people caught being themselves
ignorance exposed

What a cool job. And they pay you how much to have fun???? Let me know when you get to say "action" and "cut" and "Mr. DeVille, I'm ready for my closeup".
