Sometimes, you just gotta

BLOG.

Listen. I'm sorry. Not for the fact that I haven't blogged in a million years (six weeks), but that I don't really have anything to say right now. Just a desire to say it.

My life is absurdly, profoundly, obscenely busy, and I'm barely keeping up with the weekly commitment I've made to Rhombus. Poor them. Because I'm awesome.

I DO have good news. A week and a half ago, we finished shooting "One Item or Less." That means that it's at least possible it will be done (meaning ready to SCREEN) in December. That's the goal. And if not that, then January. JANUARY. I'm not sure how, um...good...it is, but I think that it will be engaging to some degree. The footage is really pretty, and some of the concepts we've come up with for sound design and transitions are very, for lack of a better word, neat.

Can I say how incredible this has all been? By the way? Writing a screenplay, organizing a crew, taking the script through pre-visualization and pre-production, casting it, finding a place to shoot it, getting everything pulled together...and then shooting it! It's quite wonderful. And completely, consumingly addictive. I want to do this forever.

I would talk a little bit about the films I've seen recently, but why? You can read my reviews on Rhombus.

What WON'T be on Rhombus is that I watched (with a group of very attractive people) Nacho Libre again last night. If you haven't seen it, fix that. And if you have seen it, but only once, and you didn't like it too well, then watch it again. If you have seen it at least twice...it's pretty great, isn't it? Jared Hess is the man.

And speaking of him, Gentlemen Broncos comes out this weekend in Salt Lake, at the Broadway Theater. That's the most important information I have to share, assuming you didn't already know it. Critics almost universally hate it, and I can't wait to see it.

Anyway.

On a parting, unrelated note, I (and I'll provide no context for this statement at all) love girls. Women. Female human beings. They're awesome.

That is all.
