Does one have a fancy? If so, how do you go about tickling it? While you consider this deep deep ponderance, here are a few items that piqued my interest recently. This is the first of an ongoing column of film-related posts that have nothing to do with me except I curated them and presented them to you.The above picture is a response to John Krasinski being up for the lead role in the upcoming Captain America film.
There is a special level in hell for people who talk during movies and here is an article about the shusher and shushee. This phenomenon is particularly prevalent at the Century 20 in Daly City.
Up until today, I have never heard of the term "Manic Pixie Dream Girl." Wiki describes this stock character in a film as "that bubbly, shallow cinematic creature that exists solely in the fevered imaginations of sensitive writer-directors to teach broodingly soulful young men to embrace life and its infinite mysteries and adventures." Think Zooey Daschanel. Here is the AV Club's 16 Films Featuring MPDG.
For all you scriptwriters/film junkies, Rian Johnson (writer/director of Brick) posted the complete shooting script to the The Brothers Bloom online. Available FREE for download here.
Some of my friends started their own production company and have been making some gorgeous music videos as of late. Clean White Lines is the name of their joint and you'd be a fool not to follow them on their website and vimeo page. Good stuff guys... now please let me work with you! haha

I own that place in hell. I'm sorry, but I just can't let watching a movie be a solitary activity. I even once purchased cards for friends to give me when I'm not shutting the hell up.
I am serious - this is a constant struggle for me to keep my trap shut during a movie. For every 20 minutes that passes without me making a comment I should get $100 or something.
Jennifer. I really don't know what to say. I feel like I don't know you anymore...
