I've got a new blog, which is basically me making lists of my "important" thoughts on films, books, TV, etc. I always find myself making compulsive lists of stuff anyways. Why not blog about it?Check it out:"The List Compulsion"

I'm sitting in a Days Inn in Rexburg Idaho tonight after an interesting day. This morning I woke up (in Provo) and decided that no matter what happened, I was going to drive to Rexburg this afternoon. I've been trying in vain for the last few days to rally people to go with me, but let's be honest, despite having great and supportive friends, some things are only important to yourself. No matter

When did my blog become so boooooooorrrring? It's all adult, and reflective and what not. Here's to more immature endeavors in the future.

I've been hearing an argument a lot lately about why people put up a stink when there are nude scenes in a movie, but hardly blink an eye to all the violence. My thoughts...The violence 99.9% percent of the time is fake...Michael Gambon who plays Dumbledore did not actually fall to his death in Harry Potter, Mel Gibson did not get his head chopped up off at the end of Braveheart (though some

I've been reading a book called "The Lives of the Great Composers" for some reason. It's just been sitting on my shelf for about 5 years, a remnant of my "spending ludicrous amounts of money at Barnes and Noble per month in college" phase. Anyway I don't have a TV or a computer at my house anymore so when I get home at night I read. It's a pleasant habit from a bygone era. Sort of like a child

I haven't written in a while, but I'm beginning to think that my life has become made up of a series of axioms that manifest themselves in my brain in the form of what I like to call "psycho-tweets" (perhaps "neuro-tweets" has a more pleasant ring to it and is more accurate, but I'm not prepared to establish a scientific justification for my own adorably invented buzzwords). This has become a

Last night as my old friends Matt Mattson and Adam Borg stood in the kitchen of my house, I remembered when we all lived in the corner house across from the Provo library back in the day. They were fun times when we would sit in circles in one of our rooms and play the guitar and the occasional Halo, and last in order of importance maybe have girls over. I said to them "We never do anything

So I'm starting to do art again. The other night I just randomly sat down and started an illustration based on a picture of my friend Trevor Hill from back in the day. I thought it would be fun to post it. Let me know what you think!

This was our 24 hour film festival entry this year. Our team was:Garrett Batty, Jake Van Wagoner, Matt Mattson, Matt Gerow, and Will Rubio (plus me). The theme was Sacrifice believe it or not, and we had to use the words "Let me be your..." and the object was a match.

There is a relaxing security in working too much. No worries about cleaning your room, because there simply is no time. I can't think about the girl in my life, for obvious reasons, but also because I have to keep working. For three weeks straight I've woken up at 7:30, which, no joke, is a big deal for me. I've committed myself firmly to the ideal that I am a man who gets things done. Today was

Hey there friends. Been making call after call to friends and random people to get these commercials produced and I feel like taking a break, so this is a break in the form of work. Anyone know anyone who owns a house or a cabin or some land on which there are Aspen trees? It's a snobby aesthetic choice for a location but it would absolutely make all of my dreams come true.

Hey everybody. I'm off to LA in 5 hours to spend the week finishing my screenplay, 'Scrappers', that I've spent 4 months working on... and by working I mean stuttering. I have a complete outline, and a great story, but I have yet to actually finish a draft. I'm about 30 pages in, and hopefully by weeks end...scratch that...by weeks end I WILL have a draft completed. My screenplay is a children's

Check out those legs! I just acted in two commercials for the Utah Division of Tourism. I played a snowflake who is lucky enough to land in Utah. It was a major blast to shoot them, as I got to do two of my favorite things, dress up like a goof-ball and hang out with improv friends for two days. Friends include: Matt Mattson, Gavin Bentley and Jake Suazo as well as some cool new buddies I met on

I woke at 9:15,in the p.m., and my room being the degree of H-E-Double that it is in the summertime, I slipped into a bath of sub-arctic temperatures, and promptly fell asleep. I awoke, and discovering that despite my lack of feeling I did indeed still have legs. I dressed, and tried to determine what to do with the rest of my night. I checked my email and in the corner I saw a banner ad for The

I'm not sure I understand what dreams are all about. Are they a manifestation of your self-conscious? If so, my self-conscious is full of contradictions. Por ejemplo, according to last night's dream, apparently I want to live in New York City, so I can ride horses.

Okay so I was a foot away from finishing "No Country..." when it disappeared. It just up and left. Grew legs and left me. Then today when I put the seat down on my toilet....AAAAAWWW!!!!(This was meant to sound like a heavenly choir). It was good. I have to admit that the last 20 pages slowed down considerably which was similar to the movie. In the end however it was substantially better than

I plan on posting a few more of these over the next few months, hopefully with the Quinn boys because they're cool...check out Ben's blog at TheUnmighty.com Also I HAVE to mention that the awesome music was done by Micah Dahl Anderson.

I realize that this is the 10 millionth blog about American Idol...So, I've been watching American Idol for some reason for the third or fourth season in a row, and been catching up tivo style. I'm constantly amazed at the audition process, and how unabashedly cruel it is. Today they not so subtly disguised their "freak exploitation" as a hallmark moment with a large girl named "Temptress" who

I finished "The Road" in three days. For me that is very fast. It took me three days to read my last book "Things Fall Apart", but that was because I had to for a class. It takes me about 2 to 3 weeks to read a book I really like. Even that is a rare case. For example it took me about 2 to 3 months to read "The Lovely Bones" and "Heartbreaking Work..." which are both books I totally loved, and

So I've had an interesting two days. I don't spend much time in cemeteries, but I spend even less time in them eating copious amounts of Doritos. I came home from California early, to film a "spec" commercial on Tuesday for this huge nationwide contest. It was a funny script about a guy who is mourning the loss of someone he loves, (actually when I write that it doesn't seem all that funny) and

Okay so watch this. I'm used to being scooped on music selection, by my hipper 'East Coastier' friends, and this is probably no exception. Just watch this video though. It's directed by Eric Wareheim one of the guys who makes "Tim and Eric: Awesome Show, Great Job!" which is a delightfully weird, and often "too disturbing to turn away from" show. This band though is to use a critic word "hypnotic

I've been wanting to write about stuff I've been reading, watching and listening to lately. I recently finished reading a book for a history class I'm taking called "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe. It disturbed me. It's about a tribe in turn of the century Nigeria, and the changes they go through as they are invaded by Christian missionaries. I say "invaded" because that is essentially what

I find it interesting that the crack team of security people at the Salt Lake Airport held up the line to search my bag to remove the toothpaste I had accidentally stowed in my bag, and while doing so failed to find the 8 inch box cutter that I had also accidentally put in there. NO JOKE! I had been using it to cut up dry wall, and somehow it ended up in my bag. WHAT? What else is getting through?

So I've decided that I had too many blogs. I had three different movie ones, and other random ones. In the interest of making life easier I put all of my old entries, advice column stuff, movie reviews etc into this blog. All movie reviews in the future will also go to this blog. Also my "serious" writing blog, Writer's Cramp will now be a part of my main blog "Deceptive Small Cars". My totally

My passion is writing. Also my passion is not saying "my passion" anything, because it's pretentious. But anyway, starting November 2nd, I've challenged myself to make a small entry on each of these 4 blogs for 31 days in a row. Check out the results on each of these blogs below.

...with a new resolve to blog some spectacular things. Wow...It's bee A YEAR! I kick against the "blogs" because I often feel they make me sound selfish. I will put all that fear of pretense aside however to make this work. I'm more resolved to not shut myself off from the world. Even if no one reads it, it still makes me happy to know as a good friend put it tonight, that "I'm leaving something

Wow...this movie was kind of disturbing. The writing was really interesting, and the animation was awesome (although I still think the only animated film to get cartoon humans right was "The Incredibles") but wow, it had some pretty adult themes, and the last 20 minutes of the film all I could think about was "did the house really eat and digest those cops and Jason Lee?". Anyway, I find myself

This one is weird yet intriguing. First off let me say that Orson Welles is probably more in love with himself than a nomal person should be. Then again Orson Welles never was considered a normal person. So this is a pseudo documentary that tells the story of Elmyr De Hory, and Clifford Irving. De Hory who was the probably the world's greatest art forger, (a concept I'm not sure I completely

Wow...more on this later. Got to go to bed for at least 8 hours. It's later now. So this movie was beautiful and yet incredibly violent. Probably a safe bet to say that it's not for everyone. I have a feeling, perhaps a bad feeling that I'm falling more in love with quiet often slow paced films, spotted with moments of violence, embraced by the artistic elite. Gosh I hate critics, especially when

Been out of sorts lately with ComedySportz, but tonight felt good. I invited this girl that I barely know at all and somehow I still performed well. Which is crazy because usually when I invite someone I don't do well or at least I don't feel good about it.One thing I find sad however is that sometimes when I feel like I have a good show I worry that my performance was at the expense of the other

So I've been gone friends. I've been gone for quite a while. Where have I gone? I don't know. I've been working on my movie for a while now. I'm beginning to wonder if it's worth it. All that money, all this time. All I want is the chance to make something better, with a bigger budget, and the kind of crew that I can trust (not that these people I worked with weren't great.

They've joked that we all live in a bubble. I don't know how, but I haven't thought about September 11th in a week. Remember what happened there? That was the last time I was scared. I talked about it. I told my Mom I was scared. How could it happen? People now make jokes about it. Who could make a joke about that? I understand jokes about serious things sometimes.

Today was not a good day. I opened up a Snapple excitedly because it said on the cap in capital letters LOOK UNDER CAP! WIN INSTANTLY. Now normally I wouldn't get excited, but that exclamation point at the end broke down my defenses. It sounded like a promise! WIN INSTANTLY! Nothing waivered. No "you COULD win." Well let me tell you something. I DIDN'T WIN (exclamation point). It said "SORRY, not

So I'm going into surgery tomorrow, (which reminds me I better call the doctor to see if we're still on). It's not major surgery. I won't say what it's for, but let's just say that "team lifting" is more than just a novel concept. I've had surgery before, but never "torso surgery". The last time I had it was on my nose. It hurt. I figure the farther away from your brain though, the less painful

Wednesday, August 24, 2005Movie Review - Layer CakeFor some reason I have been slightly obsessed with all things UK for several years. The Office, 28 Days Later, Groundskeeper Willie. Among these I could include an entire genre of British gangster films, not least of which were directed by Guy Ritchie (Lock Stock...Snatch, though I liked the first better), so when Layer Cake came along, a film

Why am I having such a hard time with this blog? It seems that I cannot create a "first real post". I guess the root of my problem is the term "blog". What is that term? "Blog?" People can't just say "Web Log", or even "Online Journal" or perchance you want to throw caution to the wind and say "Web Diary". What is this obsession for shortening and cute-sifying things, especially online. LoL, BrB
