So Downhill

Somehow in the midst of catching Josh up on the whole flesh-eating robot situation, I caught sight of this INCREDIBLY PROMISING headline:

Hugh Jackman Might Join Robot Boxing Flick

Key words here? This sentence is composed ENTIRELY of key words.

However, keep reading:

In between performances of his new Broadway play, Hugh Jackman is negotiating to star in DreamWorks ‘bot flick Real Steel for slapstick auteur Shawn Levy. Should he decide to sign on, Jackman would play a former boxer who promotes matches between 1-ton android gladiators.

Sigh, sigh sigh.

Here, just in case it's not clear why I'm diaspointed, are examples of acceptable loglines for a Hugh Jackman robot boxing movie:

"Hugh Jackman stars as a down-and-out weapons fence offered one last chance in the cuthroat world of ILLEGAL ROBOT BOXING. With Viggo Mortensen."

"Marooned in deep space for 7 years, Hugh Jackman and Clive Owen lead an elite cyborg paramilitary wing whose only outlet is BRUTAL INTERNECINE ROBOT BOXING. But as the men's psycological turmoil simmers they seem more an more hell-bent on their own destruction, until an army of deadly clone assassins (played by Milla Jovovich) must remind them of their will to live--the hard way."

"Hugh Jackman is a robot that boxes."

Ledo and Ix 2: Casting Call

The second adventure of Ledo and Ix is in the final phases of production!

Not to give too much away: In this episode our heroes arrive in a town. A town which, as of now, is woefully underpopulated!

I would lovvvvvvve you to contribute a character (or a few!) to fill up the town! It's easy:

Save one of the files below and open it in Photoshop, or just make a new file that's about 50 pixels tall.

Create a new layer for your character and use the pencil tool to start drawing! You can turn the original bottom layer on and off if you want to have one of the exisiting sprites as a guide.

Save your new layer as a .png and e-mail it to me or post it to the comments!

Guidelines:

Characters should be approximately to scale--to give you an idea, Ledo is 49 pixels tall (counting her black outline) and Ix is 45 pixels tall counting his.
You can make a few poses or just one
Styles are a mix of medieval European/Japanese/pan-Asian/really kind of anything goes!

Below are the original, full sized pngs:

Also, if anyone gets an urge to decorate the town--signs on the shops (in japanese or english), pixilated flower boxes, anything--that'd be awesome! Just open the .png of the town and start a new layer for your edits--that way I can put them right on top.

Boyfriend In A Coma

Josh has had Girlfriend In A Coma on repeat for 15 minutes which prompted a string of tweets from me about why, exactly, "girlfriend in a coma" is such a perfect 4-word pitch for a pop song, and subsequently such a great pop song.

Is it, actually, serious?

I guess I've always heard it as a smooth, infectious joke, but am I wrong?

I feel like I understand deeply and precisely the degree to which for instance "No One Else" is serious. That wasn't true the first time I heard No One Else, actually. Me and my brother had the following conversation:

Me (pubescent feminist rage): This song is DISGUSTING.
My brother: It's brilliant.
Me: Have you HEARD it? "Who will laugh for no one else?"
MB: It's about male jealousy.
Me: "When I'm away she never leaves the house"???
MB: It's a COMMENT.
Me: It's-- oh.
[long pause.]
Me: So it's like... making fun of that/
MB: It's--rrr--it's not--
gaah--
you don't understand.

Wednesday, September 2, 2009

I have a lot of travel coming up in the fall of 2009 - mostly for work, some for pleasure. The pleasurable parts include trips to Louisville and Dallas for close friends' weddings. My usual airline doesn't fly to Louisville, where the first wedding takes place in October. But hell, it's not that far from New York. Why not take the train?

I'll zip south through the Mid-Atlantic, through fields and forests with cows and grass and trees just starting to turn golden. I'll stretch out, have a glass of wine, maybe take a nap. I won't have to take my shoes off unless I want to; I can brush my teeth with a jumbo-sized tube of toothpaste; I can clip my toenails with abandon. I might even be able to spray paint something. I'm sure I have lots of things around my apartment that need spray painting.

Training: it's the wave of the future.

I visit the Amtrak website and request a trip from Penn Station to Louisville. The following itinerary pops up:

At 9:30 AM on the 10th of October, I'll take the 141 Northeast Regional from New York to Washington, DC. It's a three-and-a-half hour ride.

Then, at 4 in the afternoon, I'll hop on the 29 Capitol Limited and head for Chicago.

Yes, the one in Illinois.

That leg of the trip takes over 17 hours and arrives the following day, Sunday, at 8:40 AM.

Granted, the wedding takes place that day, but I'll have seven hours to wait for my next departure, so I might as well visit the MCA. Maybe get some Indian food on Devon.

At 3:55 PM, around the time I imagine my friends will be exchanging their vows, I'll hop on a bus - a Greyhound bus - and head for Louisville. I guess they don't have trains there.

I'll get in at 11:55 PM and hitch a ride (hail a cab? Do they at least have cabs in Kentucky?) to the reception, where I'll proceed to get drunk on the fumes of the other guests' bourbon breath. Because by that time, the open bar will be closed.

Trickier still, I imagine the newlyweds will have taken off to do whatever newlyweds who've lived together for years do on their wedding nights (watch Nick at Night reruns), but I'm sure I can just text them a congrats message with clinking champagne glasses or something.

It'll all work out in the end.

Oh, and the price? For my 28-hour trip, which, incidentally, will last sixteen hours longer than it would take to drive?

$164.00. One-way.

I go to Expedia. There's a one-way from La Guardia to Louisville for $108. It will take two hours.

I buy the fucking plane ticket.

Cause honestly, I don't know how well that congrats text would go over.

Thesis Research

Last week I drove out to Lucerne Valley, a hot patch of sand, craggy peaks, and Joshua trees in the California desert about an hour north of the San Bernardino Valley (where I grew up). It's home to miscreants, misfits, misanthropes...

And Bob.

He's an old family friend.

A few years ago, Bob got sick of living in stagnant, gang-infested San Bernardino and decided to break free.

He began to build a home - an ecologically friendly dome - that would provide a safe haven and a new beginning for himself and his son, Eli.

Bob and his older children, Sarah and Louis, learned to mix concrete with earth and stuff it into long recycled plastic tubes that they coiled, tamped down, and secured with barbed wire.

The shots I've posted here are two years apart: they date from August 2007 and August 2009.

One year from now, in the fall of 2010, I plan to shoot my thesis film at the dome. There are a lot of stories to be told in the desert, and I might trek out this November to do some research.

Question is: can I come up with anything more unique, more dramatic than what's already there? (It's a question any filmmaker must ask herself.)

The answer is probably no.

In which case I would have no choice but to make a documentary.

I wonder what will happen?

In a word: YES

I'm really, really tired of the assertion that humor can't exist without offending someone, or when stated by Jack Shaffer as a question: "Can humor exist without routine crossing of the line?"

Yes.

I mean, duh, yes. Go read Calvin and Hobbes. Go watch Juno. Go watch Much Ado About Nothing (and um... close your ears when cruel comparisons are levied at female anatomy. Or when equations are made between virginity and female worth.) I mean Jesus, read my stupid comic strips (and then post comments being like, yo, why aren't more comics online.)

And you know what, I'm trying to pick really carefully here (so no Pixar movies, which we all know are casually fascist,) but if the only criterion is that something be neither racist nor sexist then um... most of the celebrated comic output of the past 100 years is once again back on the table.

(For the record I have ABSOLUTELY NO OPINION AT THIS TIME about whether or not it is offensive to suggest that Mad Bitch is an appropriate beverage choice for Hilary Clinton. I DECLINE TO OFFER COMMENT.)

There are many, many more jokes than just "ohmigod! I'm violating a racial taboo!" and "women in pants make us feel wierd!"

Okay there are not many more. There are like seven. But they're the seven best ones.

Also, unrelated: are the words "shameless" and "self-promotion" robust enough to be surgically separated at this point? Because they're approaching puberty, and they want to start going on dates.

Addendum: What am I saying. It is clearly sexist to call Hillary a mad bitch. Especially with the "Mad" modifier, which suggests she has flipped off the prime minister of a potential nuclear power or attempted to bring a gun into the senate chamber. I'm not very up (um, up at all) on the political happenings of the country in which I live, but it seems to me all she's ever done is wore some pants, referenced her balls, and been slightly more hawkish then her democratic opponent in the primaries.

Very Old Posts: sins of graphic design

Okay. So all this contemplation of my limitations as a blogger has brought one more thing to mind--my tendency to obsess over perfecting posts until I lose interest in them and they lose all temporal relevance (such as they had.) In that spirit, I am shoving all my backlogged posts into the world, no matter how unfinished they may be.

1:

I really, really like giving my opinion on things. I want to even when not invited or even allowed to do so. I frequently click "contact" links to, for example, advise the designers of these posters to use the popular English contractions "he's" and "what's."

But this is bad, and I should not do this. So I'm just going to use this space to say the following:

It is not, in my opinion, advisable to put fake sparkles on your products, even if those products are, in their best light, sparkly.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Okay so since this timely, vital post was first conceived, the company responsible for the offensive confections, and for many other more egregious examples of faux sparkelry, has apparently disappeared. THE ORIGINAL SPARKLES WERE FAR, FAR MORE UNACCEPTABLE.

Women In Refrigerators

Okay here is one of my problems as a blogger.

I'm not like, current. I don't scan the web each day to be the first to republish and spread interesting information and media.

For example, I JUST ran into this description of Women in Refrigerators, which is a decade old as of last March. I've always had the feeling that women end up unconscious on camera far more then men. Not that men don't get knocked out plenty, but we're just more likely to wake up with them instead of lingering over their beautiful prone forms. (The meeting of Wolverine and Jean Grey in X-men being a notable exception. Hey Jackman, nice prone form!)

Anyways, enjoy the links if you are like me and it takes you a billion years to know about things.

The Magic of Google Alerts

Google Alerts is a lovely, inscrutable service that lets you know when someone blogs about you and when yet another imdb clone springs up which refers to your films. (It also, in the charmingly piecemeal and desultory fashion of a highschooler discovering Bhuddism, informs you that you have a webpage.)

However, nothing previous could prepare me for the following gem. (link is below, but I actually feel sort of bad driving traffic there so check out these screenshots. Click to enlarge.)

Matthew Walker's "John and Karen"

We saw this short animation screen alongside "Ledo and Ix" at Rooftop Films. It's sweet, simple, and short - three minutes well spent. It's also very funny, as is just about anything that pokes fun at awkwardly polite and stilted conversations between British folk (or, in this case, British-accented arctic animals).

Benh Zeitlin's "I Get Wet"

My entire artistic life, thanks to Josh, has just been transformed. He just showed me Benh Zeitlin's short film "I Get Wet."

I Get Wet is the story of a boy and his best friend Superdog, a girl in his class whose "real name is a secret." It's shot at 30fps with child acting that's incredibly bad, completely unselfconscious and absolutely winning.

Good short films always feel like something new, but it's rare to see a movie that's actually made of completely different building blocks than what we usually think of as "good production values" and "sound directing."

Countertransference at SXSW

High on my list so far is Countertransference, a hilarious short about "an unwell woman and her deranged psychiatrist." A lot of the dialogue is improvised and Deb Margolin, starring, is absurdly hilarious. Some of the most laughing I've done in a long time.

Advice: Do I owe my cult a clitoral piercing?

im a nineteen year old college sophomore. im bisexual, and the dorms were not gay/bi friendly (its a rural school). my few good friends are part if a larping group that i belong to and i decided to move into a large house that several of them already shared. kefka, another guy we played with, lived in the house, though i didn't like him too much. he takes it very seriously, and is always talking about how magic is real.

since i moved into the house, i discovered that not only does he believe magic is real, but prticipating in his ceremonies is a part of living in the house. he'll gather everyone around at night and then wave his staff in the air and chant mystical symbols. sometimes house members cut themselves or collapse in religous ecstasy, and some of the people act as though kefka can hurt them with his mind. my friends rose and locke moved in with me, and they dont seem disturbed at all, they just play along.

this weekend, kefka approached me about the subject of genital piercings. i've always considered having mine done, and admitted as much. kefka said that he had been planning an important ritual for a while, but that it required the sacrifice of genital blood, and as long as i was intending on having mine pierced, i should just do it on saturday at the house.

i said that i didn't want to, because it would be unsafe and unsanitary. mostly i didn't want to because i felt like that decision was a personal one, and not one for him or anyone lese in thehouse. but now my roommates are all pressuring me, saying that they know how to make it perfectly safe. i dont want to alienate my friends my continuing to refuse, but i feel like i should have some say over the boundaries of my body. also, if i continue to refuse, i'm worried i'll be asked to move out of the house or possible leave the group, and i don't know what i would do at this school without my friends. what should i do?

feeling pressure about new tribe in college

Just to make sure we're on the same page: You know your friends are being crazy, right? It sounds like you know they're being crazy. In the worst case scenario, they're cult members, in the likelier scenario they're just being weird and lame about you opting out of a wacky social experiment that happens to involve a hole in your clitoris.

Now, sometimes it can be advantageous to compromise with crazy people, as long as you do some thoughtful cost-benefit analysis. This is not one of those cases. First of all, I don't like Kefka either and you shouldn't let him have any more power than he already has (or allow him near your privates.) Also, you do realize that he has his own genitals, right? He is totally free to stab himself in the penis any time he chooses, if he really needs a sacrifice of genital blood, which by the way, also sounds totally stupid.

If your friends are approximately normal social beings, they will forget about the whole thing in a week or two and you can live out the rest of the school year in peace. You probably have to decide next year's housing at around this time, and you'll probably opt to live with the crazies again, which will leave the first half of junior year for you to play out the widening disconnect between yourself and them, and the second half of junior year to flounder unhappily in social limbo and take up interesting extracurriculars. Then, senior year, stars say you meet a cute girl who plays the cello, leaving you free to enjoy the non-infected, not-possessed-by-occult-forces clitoral piercing that you are about to get at the mall.

Chances your post is made up:
Almost certainly, but boy do I love you for it.

I am sick and tired of not being an advice columnist

Okay here's the thing. IT IS QUITE HARD TO BECOME AN ADVICE COLUMNIST. Not just hard to become a PAID advice columnist, but hard to position yourself to receive enough decent/stimulating/fucked-up questions from which to create an advice column. I've tried craigslist, to no avail--how is it that nearly a hundred people want to sound design my film, but not one will send me embarrassing questions about genital piercings?

Wait, actually--that's probably exactly how it should be.

ANYWAYS, I have decided to give UNSOLICITED advice. I am currently combing the nets for people without problems, people who don't know they have problems, and people who have not asked me for help with their problems. Your problems will also be entertained, if you WILL JUST IF ONLY PLEASE E-MAIL THEM TO: advice@kidcandrive.com
