Hollywood is a small town. You see the same people again and again. Like today, we sat next to Corey Haim at the pool exactly as we did one year ago. Corey, if he was before your time like he was mine, was a child star in the 80’s, and he did movies with Corey Feldman. Haim starred in THE LOST BOYS and in my opinion had the best lines in the movie- he rocked it! Sadly, he is like the child actor’s cautionary tale… big success, then drugs, leading to being broke, and no real transition from child star to roles for the adult Corey. When I watch LOST BOYS, I see such a talented actor… but that doesn’t mean a lot in this town. Read the rest of this entry »

Well it was a beautiful sunny day in Los Angeles – isn’t it always? – I arrived to LAX airport after spending what seemed like a lifetime on the airplanes. As I was putting on Sid’s padlock, adjusting my studded belt, putting on the wristbands, putting the skull hankie on my back pocket, getting more tattoos – wait a second that didn’t happen outside the airport arrivals?

How did you get involved in Trippin’?
Paul: “We got involved with Trippin after Devi contacted us via email about using Catfight in her film. Amy, Jon and I looked over the contracts with our high powered legal team and then signed on the line. (We three wrote Catfight together in Jon’s basement apartment.)”

While the idea of starting a whole new decade is pretty effin’ cool, I find my own life seems to evolve in trienniums personally. Up until recently, I called it my “3 Year Itch,” because it would seem every 3 years, like clockwork, I’d have a major life reboot and start a whole new era. Like a snake, I’d shed the skin I’d been donning and slip into the next.
And, having been involved in academia for most of my life, for me “the new era” always seems to begin with the start of a new school year. So New Year’s Eve has never been nearly so monumental as Labor Day weekend somehow. It’s always the time when my life seems to transition into the next phase.
How to make a Fake Turkey
Posted in CrewDecember 29th, 2009 by Ian Strandberg (S/VFX Mastermind)
Whatever your circumstances is life, it’s pretty likely that at some point you’ll need to construct a fake turkey from scratch. Here’s how you do it:
Get yourself a block of foam. You can buy insulation foam from the hardware store and laminate it together with some kind of non-solvent, non-aerosol adhesive, the film-ey double stick tape (as in, NOT mounting tape) or some kinds of spray glue (3M makes some specifically for bonding foam).
