I was surprised to see this in my inbox this morning, a little missive from ShootingPeople.org that my film, "Dark America: The Final Abortion Debate," was removed from the site. Maybe "unimbedded" is a better term, as the film is actually hosted by YouTube. Read on: Hi Allen, I've just...

Man, I loved this film. Comparison's to DePalma's "Scarface" are dead-on. It's got a similar character dynamic, and the early 90s upper-class wealthy party world of Saddam's Iraq has an awesome Miami-retro vibe. I welcome this kind of film, especially as DePalma seems incapable of being DePalma...

Thread started as response to public dare by brianluce: http://indietalk.com/test/posts/205678/ I'll begin with a key example: "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End." The only reason that this film wasn't automatically the biggest turd of 2007, was that "Transformers" was released that...

Puppetry and violence -- two great tastes that taste great together! A celebration of the grotesque. NSFW, if you're employed by a pro-life clinic, kindergarten, or fundamentalist church. Basically a pilot ep for a web series. Since I closed my studio space, don't know if I'll make more. It...

It's all about the art direction and the gorgeous 1940s art design. Some lovely FX work as well, such as the whole skinny Steve/muscular Steve effect, which is flawless. And Hugo Weaving as the Red Skull does a dead-on impression of Werner Herzog -- I'm absolutely not kidding. Herzog fans will...

If you live within driving distance of the Bay Area, you should know about this screening -- it's a BIG fricking deal. If you've heard about this 1927 silent film, you might know that it is only properly screened by projecting three simultaneous prints. It is, as for previous screenings...

Gorgeous, super-ill short celebrating the cute/evil nexus of the Let's Go Out to the Lobby concession characters, and done with extreme attention to the detail of its retro-aesthetic and Lynch-ian satanic panic. Be sure to check out the "Making Of" short as well. Truly great work...

This really gives me a hollow feeling in the pit of my stomach: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/07/06/DD4O1K6O74.DTL Another rep house bites the dust. I was at the Vic recently, for a test screening of a friend's feature, so I'm glad I got to visit one last time. At one...

Other than eBay customers, who buys Super-8 gear? I have a really amazing old Elmo projector that allows for dubbing onto mag-striped film, but I'm not sure eBay is the way to go. It's in perfect condition. Has anybody had (good or bad) experiences with resellers of film equipment? Other...

"Godzilla vs BP" is both a parody of Japanese monster movies, and a sharp critique of the Deepwater Horizon disaster. The film is edited from appropriated and altered footage from movies, TV, and web video, and pushes the boundaries of Fair Use in order to make its political and comedic points...
