I'm Just Sayin'

Eric Bana has always been regarded as a great actor, and now I can say with full confidence that he has sex appeal as well. Playing the lovable bad boy Huck Cheever in Lucky You with Drew Barrymore, we saw a lighter side to this deep, dark and emotional actor. He was scary as shit as Mark Brandon 'Chopper' Read in the Australian film Chopper , consequently the first thing I saw him in. The Hulk sucked, but not for lack of a great performance by Mr. Bana, whose range is never ending. From Hoot in Black Hawk Down to Avner in Munich , to Hector in Troy , you can always count on a solid performance from this brilliant actor. In the Time Traveler's Wife he was both lovable and truly sad. His character, Henry has a gene that causes him to involuntarily time travel and he never know when or where it is going to happen. This makes for a tragic character which Bana portrays beautifully. The chemistry between Rachel McAdams and him sparks from the first moment they are on the scre...

The Ugly Truth starring Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler is neither romantic or a comedy. It is, however; completely stupid, boring, predictable, NOT funny, not believable, or romantic even for the biggest fan of the "RomCom". Recently I read a bad review of the film and in that review they talked about the formula used; strong independent-man-hating-self-hating-single woman desperate for love and romance falls for bad boy obnoxious jerk type~BORING. That said, How To Loose A Guy In Ten Days also has these two people in the leads, yet it is both funny and romantic. You've Got Mail, When Harry Met Sally, Bridget Jones, etc. etc. . . need I go on? This film wasn't even remotely interesting, and even the worst offenders of "chick-flicks" are better than this. The story was full of holes and weak. The acting was fine, but nothing comedic about either of them. The scene when Abby (Katherine) has an orgasm at dinner because she is wearing vibrating undies is so b...

How do complete morons get these jobs in customer service? Seriously! I think there must be some test that you have to pass that requires you are really stupid, can't think for yourself, and are rude.

I just found out that this "snake in the grass/Darth Vader incarnate" EX friend of mine has taken ANOTHER one of my story ideas and passed it off as her own. (That is 3 now that I know of) A few years ago we were great friends, but she just never ceases to surprise me. Soon she will run out of people to steal from and have to stand on her own and she will fall. I believe in Karma and that the truth always comes out. To this person I say this: A) Putting a Copywrite 2009 next to something you have stolen does NOT make it yours! B) Taking a chapter from a book that has already been published changing the names and submitting it as an "original" story, makes you STUPID. C) Using your friends to steal their creatively, makes you a BAD PERSON. D) (This is obvious) Lying, stealing, cheating, backstabbing and trying to take work (money/food off table) from your close friends just shows complete LACK OF CHARACTER. E) Taking other people's drawings/sketches, or doodles f...

Sorry I have been so bad about posting. When I started this, I meant to write an article twice a week.. where does the time go? Oh yeah to my next two screenplays, my series, spec scripts, my day job~animation, looking for work, writing shorts, submitting to every studio for animation and writing, the occasional yoga, sleep and food! LOL I did manage to finish AIDS WALK SF and am heading to the Con for more networking! Have a great one~

I find it amazing that people have no problems absolutely lying outright about work they have done. I find it more amazing that these same people then post their work on a public website. It is one thing to finesse a resume. Example: a maid could say she is really a household technician, or a nanny could say they are an executive childcare facilitator, and even the old secretary is now an executive assistant. To out right lie just always amazes me and then to take work that others have done and post on a website and claim it as their own..wow! I just saw something that I am still shaking my head it and if any of the work was mine, this person would be looking at the business end of a lawsuit. Fair enough, once a friend of mine took a chapter out of one of my novels, changed all the names and published it as a short on a public website, so I sent the creator of the website my novel with a post it on the chapter and a note saying to read closely and of course the publishing date being 2 ...

So, I have been swamped with animation work of late, and that is why I haven't had much time for writing in my blog. Tonight I was scanning some job sites for writing jobs and I shit you not, this is what I saw.. "if interested, tell me about you as a person and as a writer, anything else you can send me. Please don't send writing samples. Just want to work with somebody who is smart, has an enthusiasm for grownup comedy, understands dramatic narrative structure, and wants to spend a few days helping and learning. (Also, somebody who doesn't freak out at the potential smell of 420 would be helpful, but not mandatory. This is why we have the candy here.) " So tell this to me like I'm a 6 year old? No writing samples and doesn't mind the smell of pot; we have a lot of candy? Yes this is a real ad.
