A Line for a Trailer

              NARRATOR
      Rethelbart Hadenschwaffer only has one problem.
          (beat)
      He doesn't exist.

              RETHELBART
      Yet.
The film then proceeds to chronicle the epic struggle of an individual who doesn't exist trying to break into existence. I'm actually trying to figure out how to make this idea work.

Miscellany: September 2007 Edition

I've begun work on a few essays and reviews that I can't quite seem to finish. Yet I still feel like making a blog entry. So here we go.

I finally got bored (enough) with the limited menagerie of background images I've been cycling through on the site here for the past year or two. So, for the proverbial shits and giggles, I drew something new for the background. It's a pretty generic young woman holding a parasol accompanied by the most half-assed of all backdrops (90 seconds, maximum), but such is the state of things. I've been spending more time drawing lately and that's a trend I'd like to continue.

Notably, good friend and brilliant musician WiL Whitlark and I have recommitted ourselves to an animated series we've been developing for nearly four years now. The new target date to begin premiering episodes is October 2008.

Speaking of long dormant projects, that seems to be the trend with us at Bombdotcom. The upcoming The Interconnection of Mr. Daily was written nearly three years ago. We've resurrected a Halloween project that we wrote while shooting Hopscotch Hotshots in September 2004. And, not least of all, there's The Importance of Tolerance. While we're at it, have another production still!


Seriously. Watch out, folks. This movie's gonna inspire the pants right off of you. Wear suspenders. With any luck, both this and the aforementioned Halloween project will be finished by the end of October (as well as Mr. Daily). If all goes according to schedule, I'm going to submit this to the 2008 LDS Film Festvial, the 2005 instance of which was actually where the seeds of this project began.

Just you watch. 2007 will have been a productive year for Bombdotcom Productions yet.

A Couple of Shout-Outs

A blogger I read regularly recently mentioned that he does not have very many readers at all. That struck me as a shame, so I decided I'd take it upon myself to refer my (admittedly meager) audience through to some blogs that deserve readership.
  • Kaiju Shakedown. In January, the sun seemed to have set on Asian entertainment coverage, as New York Asian Film Festival organizer Grady Hendrix's Kaiju Shakedown closed its doors. Yet hark! the sun has once again risen as the blog has returned as part of Variety Asia's site. If you like a good deal of snark delivered alongside American DVD sales analyses and pictures of Darth Kitty, be sure to check it out.
  • The Golden Rock. While Kaiju Shakedown was missing, I discovered this blog, covering Asian entertainment news with keen attention paid to box office reports with a healthy dose of the author's (LMFDean9 of LoveHKFilm.com) welcome personal slant. He also takes it upon himself to round up early word on various productions from Hong Kong, Korea, and Japan.
  • DINOSAUR JOE. After a hiatus, Dinosaur Joe is at it again. It's a thoroughly entertaining blog written by a friend of mine. I'm a regular commenter, posting as "Vincent."
  • The Comics Curmudgeon. At long last, my on-again-off-again obsession with the typically bland newspaper comics feels validated.
  • The Grammar Vandal. Kate lives in Massachusetts and has the cojones to do something I've long fantasized about. She patrols the mean streets with a marker in purse, ready to correct the abundant grammatical, spelling, and punctuation mistakes on the signage of businesses. A hero for our times.
  • Dinosaur Comics. Okay, so this is actually a webcomic, but it updates more consistently than most blogs and it's obscenely funny.

Sweater Vest

Who's back there? WHO?! ANYONE could be back there, looking at my sweatervest.

This is the sort of trauma men are subject to at public urinals. Craning your neck around to see who's back there would be far too conspicuous a motion. You stand there, looking straight ahead, vulnerable. Anyone in the world could walk through that restroom door. Anyone in the world could stand behind you. Anyone in the world could be looking at your sweater vest. And you would never know.
