“Witnessing this was a draining feeling being terrified for other people’s lives all day long, it’s life or death. Letting go of that rope one time can change your life and not many people will ever experience that in their life.” - Kelly Slater
This is awesome.

This sums things up nicely. Also interesting is the idea of crowdsourcing demands, which points to how the internet and social media have shaped the thought processes of the younger generations. We’re not only used to constant chatter and differing opinions every single day, we have to make sense of them. It’s changing the way we think. VIVA LA CLOUD!

Agreed! If this happens in a scene, it will definitely be fun to watch and fascinating. It might be hilarious, too. Weird, broad scenes are rarely either.

“It’s like saying this glass of water is a glass of beer. Well, you can call it a glass of beer, but it’s not a glass of beer. It’s a glass of water. And water is what water is. Marriage is what marriage is.”

Dear Photograph! A cool new tumblr! People send in photographs of the past, that they have taken in the present. (That dippy sounding sentence will make sense if you click the link.) Worth it, I promise!

All the examples are heavily influenced by geek-culture, but the concepts are universal. I want to be an improviser and writer that creates “Fuck Yeah!” moments.

There’s an 80 year old woman, Pete, who lives in the brownstone (originally bought by her father in 1923) that’s next to my boyfriend’s apartment. Pete spends all day sitting on her stoop, saying hello to the neighborhood, and chatting with anyone who cares to stop. As she recovers from a bad fall…

I was just telling some friends about this podcast! It’s a lot of fun, even if you haven’t seen any of the movies they cover (I haven’t).
As far as clapping goes, I would take that any day over talking or texting or taking pictures of the screen. When simple movie etiquette is breached, I become a foaming at the mouth crazy person. I think its because its one of the only real...

I was in this show, and I am pretty excited about this. Thanks to everyone who works on Baby Wants Candy and everyone who has come to see us.

Thoughts: Won’t Gattica be completely plausible in ten years? Also, Minority Report is considered Sci-Fi, right? The Pre-Crime oracles are far-fetched, but everything else looks and feels right. Also also, Star Wars isn’t included and therefore I will infer that lightsaber technology is within our grasp.

Spider-Man: Turn Off the Bat-shit Crazy →
I think I want to see this? I love Spider-Man and I a have special place in my heart for U2 (judge away) and I know this will throughly ruin these things (more than Spider-Man 3 and the last U2 album did) but I still want to see this shit-show. A serious question: can a musical be so bad its good? Please let me know.
