Sexy Beast or You're a Whole Bag of Wrong
Just finished watching "Sexy Beast" starring everyone's favorite mahatma, Ben Kingsley. Now this role was a freakin' departure from good old Gandhi if there ever was one. He was a nutcase gangster who bullied people and was always in complete control of every situation that he was in. The film did an amazing job of presenting his character, as you could totally feel the suspense from every scene that he was in and just how afraid of him the other characters were. It's worth the price of a rental alone to see him in the film's many arguments. They go something like this: Character 1: "No" , Kingsley: "YES" , Character 1: "No" , Kingsley: "YES" , and so on. Trust me, it's freakin' brilliant stuff.
Myself, Jay, and Lee finished off watching "Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 1" last night. The episode with the doctor's office was quite possibly the funniest god-damned thing ever. So much of the show is surrounded by awkward situations and people overreacting. It's soooooooooooo good. I hope that one day I can make something as funny as that. The sitcom idea that myself and Jay have been tossing around for a while now has some serious potential. I just wish we could get working more on it. If I wasn't in school, I could devote more free time to the generation of scripts...
On the work front, I found out that one of my co-worker's cancer has returned and he has to take time off for radiation therapy. I hope that everything goes ok for him, as he is a super nice guy who doesn't deserve to have to go through something like this... Not that most people deserve to get cancer, but he really doesn't warrant that level of life challenge. He is one of the nicest guys ever, incredibly naive and innocent, but always well-meaning. He's like a 6 year old or something. I wish him all the best.
Ever have that feeling that there is so much that you want to be doing that it all seems too much? I mean, I want to be making so many different movies, making the sitcom, making a cartoon, getting a game out there, etc... It is all in my head, but it's just not out there yet. Tangibility factor is high... Terena said that I should just pick one thing and go all out on it... It's so simple that it just might work! Only problem is every time I do that, I come up with ideas for something else and then get all excited about that. I mean this past summer I wrote a script for a college movie and I was super pumped about it. But I haven't done anything to it since then. I've been sidetracked with school and work and other things... That's it, I need to sit down and fucking focus on it like a ....ummmmm... what is it you call something with crazy focus???? Oh well... whatever it's called, that's what I'm gonna be like...
