an argument about michael cera doing the same thing over and over (lots of actors do this, see brad pitt in everything since se7en, woody allen in everything) and saying he's not good but liking what i mentioned in the brackets, well, shit sir. you are contradictory.
i'm just kinda rambly/venty here. don't know what the real point is, just saying that people have opinions made up before they see it, or they're a little close minded to things, or yeah. i was watching a lot of charlie kaufman interviews today (he hasn't done many until promoting his latest film) as well as watching two of his written films (adaptation. and confessions of a dangerous mind - jen hadn't seen it yet) and he made a great point about conventional films/stories. the idea of an artist is to do something new and different and to challenge people and yeah. he's a smart man who some see as pretentious or snobby, but he really isn't. his writing is smart and funny and entertaining, while still being new and not really all that 'weird'. then again, i don't much find david lynch that weird, just enjoyable. i get so bored of the norm sometimes, you know?
anyways. i am now going to gorge a little on chocolate in hopes that my cold goes away (will that work?)
ps - my old film prof emailed me asking if i had been a student at all this year (i haven't) and thusly, i am not eligible for any non-acting nominations in the university film festival, which is fine, it is what it is. i know i got pissed when non students won awards in past years. he said i woulda had some noms though, which is nice (i'll let you kids and kiddos guess what). so that stuff gets announced this week i would think ... stay tuned for when and where you can see our little opus.
