She’s sitting next to me with her friend, and she’s reading a break-up letter, aloud. I assume someone has written it to her and it’s filled with juicy tid-bits about wanting to sleep with other women. She talks about forgiving each other and having better communication going forward and I am embarrassed for this woman or man who has written her, to have this incredibly personal...

“Our dad left on a jet-ski when I was eleven. We are pretty sure hes still alive today but we have never searched for him. When someone leaves like that you know in your heart that they died, or just really wanted to make a point about leaving you.” - j.h.

In which I get mad 'cause of the spells.

Got mad at The Secret Circle this week for not being true to the books, but not in a way you might expect. Cut six or more characters? Fine. Move the location? Sure. But do not, under any circumstances, change those spells. Let’s sidebar here for a second: every time one of them says witchcraft was “abolished” I want to write an open letter to Williamson and Miller, essentially saying, “I do...

Secret Circle Recap

Wrote a recap of The Secret Circle I’m particularly proud of. Please, this is supposed to be a room from 1995 and… whoa, you guys, that means that Cassie was born in 1995. She was only a one-year-old when Tupac Shakur died. (I know this is a super common way to measure age or the passage of time, and so I used it out of deference to you, the reader.) She was a two-year-old when The...

A new actor will assume the role of Don and Betty’s son, Bobby, since Jared Gilmore opted to take a series-regular role on ABC’s new Once Upon a Time instead of the seven episodes Mad Men offered. Jared’s advice for his replacement: “Be careful around January [Jones]. She’s not as…

Double Features

Tonight, went to Cinefile, got me a membership because where else can you rent both: & John and I were gonna watch Trash Humpers and Rubber tonight, make a double feature of weirdness out of it but then it got late and I got tired and we were sunburnt anyway so it didn’t happen. But I was home by myself, and kind of thinking of putting Rubber in, you know, just… to see what...

Some days you’re Pinky, and some days you’re Rose. In happier news, I found the actress I want to play Laura in Kid Sister. Because everyone should cast their movies before they’re written.

The title cards were one of my favourite bits about the entire filmmaking process. Cate stitched them up for me, and I designed all the trinkets that laid upon.

The Larry Sanders Show

Is perfection, and I’m gonna write a big thing about it for Film.com in the next few weeks, but oh MAN. On air, Hank says the full name of a woman who was stalking him, and the producer comes over and says “Don’t worry I bleeped out her last name so we don’t have a problem.” Hank says “Well I have a problem, the audience will think I called her Cindy...

“Joseph would reach out to me occasionally, the same way the desert blooms a flower now and then. You get so used to the subtleties of beige and brown, and then a sunshine-yellow poppy bursts from the arm of a prickly pear.

Always but not always.

I used to really love the song Always On My Mind, specifically a cover of it that Sam Beam did years ago when he and Calexico did a tour in support of In The Reins. I flew to Denver to see that show a few days after I saw it in Los Angeles, and it remains some of the most moving music I’ve ever seen performed live. It’s really kind of a terrible thing to say to someone though, the...

Destruction Party Day One

Day one of two went well. One of our actresses, Oona Mekas took these. I don’t have an iPhone. I do have a sunburn. Turns out making a movie is easy if you rely on the people you hired to do their jobs.
