hope sets sail

for those of you who are subscribed to this feed, I migrated this blog to wordpress tonight. this means there won't be new entries under this feed.

I'm still at lightrotation.com/hss/ but you should go ahead and get your subscribe on where the feedin's at now.

thank you and good night.

file under: holy fuck.

ever watch a clip on your windows media player and you see a shot you really like, and you're like "oooh I wanna do a screen grab!" but when you try you fall flat on your face?

well fail no more!

hooray!

addendum: turns out this won't work with dvd playback.

as hilarious as this is, what's not hilarious is reading the video comments made by the myspace using youth of america. for instance, I can't believe to this day there are people who believe obama is muslim. what?

I'm mainly pumped for the two dudes who are slightly out of focus in the back: john cho as sulu and my main man simon pegg as scotty.

the third and final presidential debate, also known as 大統領候補討論会 in japan, is airing tonight at 9pm.

...which is also when the season finale of project runway season 5 airs.

america, you have to make a very tough decision tonight. and then in a few weeks you'll make a very easy decision.

so I hadn't mentioned this yet, but principal photography for megaman finally ended in early september. we shot for SEVEN MONTHS on this thing.

immediately following megaman I started working on a new project the eaters. it's a feature-length film about a band on the run from zombies, trying to get from brooklyn to long island. it's a great script and has a very tight cast, and I enjoy working on this film a lot.

but so here's where the irony comes in. like I mentioned we shot megaman for SEVEN FUCKING MONTHS. megaman is a sci-fi action film and there was TONS of fighting involved. I came out of it without a scratch.

yesterday, on the set of the eaters, I was about to go up a small flight of stairs when I somehow lost my balance and fell off the first step -- which was like 1/4 the height of a normal step -- and sprained the living CRAP out of my ankle.

what the fuck.

update: it's not a sprain, it's a CUBOID FRACTURE. it's a rare thing to happen apparently, and I'm finding a real hard time finding a good resource on it online (other than people with this fracture posting on forums). anyway, there's your update.

that's all I gotta say.

so the final finishing touches are being made to my short film I told you about.

I present to you...

there's not much there right now but come check it out anyway!

unless you've been living under a rock, or simply do not care about professional basketball, you are aware that the Seattle Supersonics' new owner upped and moved the team to oklahoma city.

you know, this sort of stuff happens now and then. as you can imagine it really sucks if you're a local fan of the team.

me? I'm not affected by it, really. but what offends my sensibitilies is the new nickname and the team colors.



to me the logo looks and the name sounds like a team from the nbdl (the nba's minor league). examples include the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, the Reno Bighorns, and the Fort Wayne Mad Ants. not to mention the Albuquerque Thunderbirds.

so not to be That Guy who just bitches about things in a blog and have nothing else to offer, here's a list of my suggested teams names right off the cuff.

The Oklahoma City Obliterators
The Oklahoma City Oscilloscopes
The Oklahoma City Octopi

and my personal favorite:
The Oklahoma City Ombudsmen

there you go.
