Conan O’Brien’s 60 Minutes Inner Monologue
| Nick: | That disc reset my AV settings. I've been displaying 480 video with stereo sound for who knows how long. |
| Nate: | OMG 480!!!! The humanity! |
| Nick: | It might as well have been in 4:3 over coax passed through a VCR with bad v-hold! |
| Nate: | Ew, coax. Stop. I'm going to be sick. |
Third full Last Airbender trailer is out.
| Me: | Hello? Finally, I've been on hold for an hour. |
| Cable Provider: | How my I help you. |
| Me: | Why the hell was my internet shut off suddenly without notice?! |
| CP: | Let me see. Oh. Let me transfer you to network security. |
| (another hour) | |
| CP: | Hello. |
| Me: | Yeah, I've been transferred around and waiting forever. I would just like to know why the hell you guys shut off my cable. And without any notice. Seriously, who does that. |
| CP: | We noticed activity on your account. |
| Me: | Still no notice? I used to work in IT. My network is pretty secure. |
| CP: | No. On 3 months ago sir. |
| (typing) | |
| Me: | What? |
| CP: | We show someone at your IP downloading torrents of... Gossip Girl Season Two. |
| (long silence) | |
| Me: | Uhhhh. |
| (more silence) | |
| Me: | Yeah. I'll, uh. I'll talk to my roommate about that. |
Personally I’m open to the trade off of individual hero’s franchises lacking slightly, hoping the sum will be greater than the parts in the end. No doubt there will be problems (like Norton potentially not returning for Hulk), but ultimately I think it’s a really ambitious plan I’d like to see play out.
Forgot how incredible this scene was. Just kidding, I could never forget.
Wow. When Pixel’s Attack! A fantastically conceived and executed short film!
How have I never seen this totally badass Gattaca poster?
Beautiful short film.

I dig the Tron: Legacy trailer. Of all things to note, I think the sound design of the trailer is really good. I love how the lower end sounds bridge into electronic distortion.

Pretty funny…but in a sad way :(
Who’s IHOP targeting? Stoned chipmunks?

Some pictures I took while I was shooting a short.
‘EXT. THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING - DAY’
Uh… you know what ‘EXT.’ stands for, right?

Characters crying over exes while looking at old photos is clichéd enough. But it is WAY too soon for characters to be crying over said photos on...
You know those first 3 minutes of your movie? You could have told it in 3 shots of 3 seconds each.
