Collection finished or Film Nearing Completion
I went to the Comic con this weekend and managed to find all the missing issues for my original Transformers series. I now have all 92 comics that were made in the mid-late 80's. Yeah hooo. I am so cool. At this point, I don't know what I will do with them, but I'm sure that reading them again will pop into the equation at some point.
I've been continuously working on the feature film and it's nearing completion. There are a few sound issues that I'm working on at this point, but I think that for the most part it's good to go. Not perfect, but definately watchable. I hope that it's received ok when we finally show the damn thing.
On another note, I finally found the complete Rick James discography! I've have some of them on record for a while now, but CD! It's the wave of the future I hear! Seriously, Rick James ruled. He had something like a 80-20 ratio in his songs. 80% of them were about having sex or wanting to have sex, while the other 20% were about drugs and his love of them. That's it. Nothing else. Even social commentary songs like "Ghetto Life" were at some point talking about having sex. He was so hardcore!
Saw "Borat" last night. It's funny, but I definately think a tad overhyped. I've been hearing people say he's the new Andy Kaufman and that he has more commitment to a gag then he ever did. That's a bit much. Kaufman would do things without cameras and purposely did things that were in no way "funny" or trying to get laughs just because he wanted to. He once read the entire Great Gatsby to a crowd of college students just to fuck with them. He also worked part time as a busboy just because he thought it was funny when people thought that they recognized him. Now THAT's commitment. Back to Borat.... it worked best when it was "unscripted" reactions, when it was trying to hard to force things it fell a little. There were also some scenes (the college kids) that people seemed to think were real, but were so obviously fake it boggles the mind as to how others could be so duped. He had multiple camera angles for that scene. There is no way that it could've been done for real like that. They were in a cramped space. The one kid who kept rambling on about women controlling men and minorities having all the advantages seemed really forced too. I didn't buy that entire scene. The movie is still worth seeing though. That is all.
