Hello everyone! There’s been slow goings at the blog because of all the stuff that’s happening with film school. Speaking of, I wanted to tell you all about a project I’m helping produce! The film, directed by graduate student Ethan Speakman, is called Cute Girl Uncertainty Principle and it’s about a guy who uses quantum mechanics to make a girl fall in love with him. As a producer on this project you might think I’m being biased when I say it’s a great project to get involved in, but unequivocally it’s one of the best graduate thesis projects I’ve read and I’d love for everyone to contribute to help Ethan get his film off the ground. You can go directly to this link if you want to donate. Need more convincing? Check out the short video and full synopsis after the jump!
Things have been slow going here at the blog because of some server issues (or the CH stans who got mad at those photos I posted lol) but the world has continued on.

He also mentions that he’s tapped Alex Pettyfer to be the white half of the interracial couple. So…now that you’ve re-read that a couple of times I have some thoughts.

But for all of that intensity and virtuoso filmmaking, there’s something that just doesn’t quite connect. It makes for an interesting contrast that the film doesn’t quite manage to make work.
Y’all…like what in the world has happened to the Oscar race? I mean everything seemed so clear just a week ago and now it’s like the world has gone to hell. I feel like these movies studios came and said fuck your couch and I couldn’t do anything about it. So with all this, I thought I #minuswell update my Oscar predictions. Check them out.
Don Jon, Joseph Gordon-Levitt‘s directorial debut, certainly means well. However just because a film means well doesn’t mean that it’s guaranteed to be a good film and unfortunately for audiences, Don Jon isn’t one. Despite its sterling supporting performances and interesting subject matter, the film feels like little more than an exercise for a man
