Since I’ve yet to receive the fourth book in George R.R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” series from Amazon, I’m reading the book The Devil’s Candy: The Anatomy of a Hollywood Fiasco by Julie Salamon, which describes the production of the movie “The Bonfire of the Vanities,” and I have to tell you, […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Hi. My name is Mere, I’m 36, and I watched the MTV Video Music Awards last night. (Hi, Mere!) I know it sounds silly — maybe even wrong — for someone my age to watch the VMA’s. (And given the average age of the performers, possibly a little pedophilic. After all, I am biologically old […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
(special thanks to @buffywrestling on Twitter for the topic tip-off) An article appeared in “The Hollywood Reporter” on Tuesday, written by Rebecca Ford, called “Fewer Women Are Working In Primetime TV”. Too busy to click on the link? Allow me to summarize: According to the Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Numbers. Those fuckin’ cocksuckers. I can’t get numbers out of my head these days. They jump up and down on my brain, digging their pointy-sharp integer fingers into the backs of my eye sockets, slamming their fat numeric asses against the sides of my skull until I feel like screaming: “NO! NO! ABSOLUTELY NO MORE […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Flashback: 1983 I’m on my first date. This would be a rather boring memory, except for the fact that I’m 8. I am sitting in a movie theater with C.M., a boy from my second-grade class, who is 7 (I’m always older than the kids in my grade — the curse of a November birthday), […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
So here’s the problem with trying to be an InterWeb Writer/Producer: You actually have to understand how the InterWeb works. Which sucks, ’cause I don’t, really. I mean, I get the blogging thing (obviously), the Twitter thing, the YouTube thing, the Amazon thing, and even the Kickstarter and Indiegogo things… but not much else. In […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Working hard on the Web series. I’d give y’all a preview, except I don’t trust a single, shifty-eyed one of youse guys… (Sigh. Points off for using two different accents in one sentence. Bad Writer! Bad!) (Or maybe just… cosmopolitan?) Got an email today from some Producers — let’s call ‘em The Supergals — about […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
If ya’ll will just excuse me one second, truly, I apologize, but…. BAAAAHHH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA! (*hunched over*) Oh sweet swinging ballfuckers! Oh Jesus ham sandwich on the cross! (*wipes tears out of eyes*) Okay, I’m— No, wait— Oh— No, okay. I think I’m good now. I think I’m done. It’s just not often you laugh so […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Hi! (exhilarated sigh) Oh my god, I can’t believe I’m up here! Man, this thing is– everyone says the trophy is heavy, but you always think they’re exaggerating and– oh jeez, fifteen seconds left, I’d better hurry. Anyway, I’d like to thank… …the goddamn fucking Muses for that huge case of Writer’s Block they picked […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Ahhhh…. Coming back from a weekend in which I did… are you ready for this? no, seriously, are you ready?… absolutely no writing. Knowing me, you wouldn’t think such things possible, but I swear to baby Jesus in the manger, if you put your mind to it (and have your significant other hide your computer), and […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
