Why Movies Need Movie Theaters
I saw “Jurassic Park” last night at midnight with John C. and a lot of work friends in honor of this gentleman’s birthday.
I’ve never seen “Jurassic Park” on a screen bigger than a TV. Watching it on a 70 foot screen, sitting in a theater with hundreds of strangers was exactly how it was intended to be seen.
It’s an experience I can’t really describe, but I can say that it completely reaffirmed my love for filmmaking. And dinosaurs.

Really, Golden Globes? Really?
It’s often been said that the Golden Globes give an idea of what’s going to win big at the Oscars, so here’s hoping that’s not true. “Avatar” won Best Picture - Drama at the GGs, and if “Avatar” wins Best Picture at the Oscars, I may quit film school in disgust and become a farmer. Or write an angry blog-post. One of those.
Also, read this funny abridged version of the “Avatar” script (the-editing-room).

Saw Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus last night with John C. Heath Ledger was pretty good, but I fell asleep at the beginning, if that’s any indication of the film as a whole.
