Thanks to Rabid Dog Press and Wicked Channel for their enthusiastic reviews of TRIPPIN’ and the compilation DVD (coming out soon!). My Sundance report will have to wait until next week as I’m steeped in production, writing deadlines AND finals for my last semester at the Academy for a spell (sad, but necessary with all the projects and upcoming travels, alas. Professor Snively will return before too long, I hope.) Suffice to say for now, the Sundance adventure was a fairy tale trip with some fun reality thrown in to keep the momentum going. More soon…or later. It’s hard to tell these days. Thanks for your patience!

So, after putting a moratorium on Hollywood films earlier this year (in protest to all the soulless, unoriginal garbage I kept subjecting myself to), I finally ventured back to the Arclight to give her another chance. I’m so glad I did! THE ARTIST is a wonderfully successful black and white, silent film in this day and age. That unto itself is a remarkable feat. Read the rest of this entry »
Irony Revisited, Dissected and Alanis Publically Dissed
Posted in Diary of a DirectrixDecember 2nd, 2011 by Devi Snively (The Directrix)
It’s not ironic but, only weeks after I dissed Alanis Morissette and shared my student’s humorous essay on “irony”(found HERE), the L.A. Weekly has dissected her semantically offensive song line-by-line. It’s a hoot. Check it out: http://blogs.laweekly.com/westcoastsound/2011/1/the_worst_song_of_the_90s_a_li.php
