THE LAST KISS

Hmmm...films like this one, twenty to thirty something (even forty something) writers/directors trying to remake "Beautiful Girls," fooled me for a few years, but now I know what to expect. And I loved Beautiful Girls when I saw it in the theatre and I love it today. It's a great film, but not that popular...kind of a strange thing that it's spawned so many "Garden States"

Anyone who can make a film...that is one hell of a thing. Having just made a film, I have a whole new respect for the process. It isn't easy...unless you have millions of dollars, and then it's REALLY fucking easy. If you have two credit cards screaming past their limits, it can be a bit more challenging...still, it is one hell of a thing to make a film. Stars have to align and all of that.

I LOVE Casey Affleck as an actor, and he is SO GREAT in this film. Underused. Had he been the lead, The Last Kiss might have been alright. The editor could have easily chopped fifteen minutes off of this thing.

THE WRAP PARTY

Things are so hectic...I don't have time to call my good friends, and I don't have time to plan the wrap party...but man, I could use the wrap party. I wish there was a hall or a legion, or something...a gym...a common room in someone's building...anyplace where we could unwind and watch a trailer and maybe some short films.

let's figure this thing out...
