Manhunter wallpaper for iPhone I made using the brushes app while I was bored on the plane today. Enjoy.
The teaser trailer for ‘Salt’ (via danhacker)
Consider me officially excited for this.
On the left, a frame of film from The Rig, showing the character Freddy Brewer after he’s been viciously attacked. On the right, the costume worn by Caisha Hinnen for Halloween, sent to me by Stacey Hinnen, who portrays Freddy in the movie, with the following message:
I thought you might enjoy my wife’s Halloween costume.
I didn’t know what she was going as and when she walked out of the room I couldn’t believe it. It was awesome. One of my proudest moments.
This is probably the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. I hope this isn’t the last time I see a Halloween costume inspired by a film I direct. Thanks for making my year, Stacey and Caisha. Now if only the movie was available for sale…

Guy flies from Denver to Singapore. Guy wears camera around his neck. Guy takes picture every few minutes and assembles them into a photo montage. Guy is pretty cool. (via)
» Abe Sauer's Epic Cintra Wilson Smackdown
Wilson’s slamming of JC Penney was merely the use of her usual tactics at an extremely loud volume. Contempt for even the most modestly utilitarian values—for icons popularized in “real” American locales where people are not concerned with updating their wardrobes more than once a decade—is itself a terrible cliché. I doubt this bothers her, as she adopts for herself a special kind of clichéd creature exclusive to our nation’s factories of pretension: the unapologetic, mean-spirited, spoiled big-city kid. In mundane, feel-good movies for the masses, such people travel a character arc that results in them seeing their behavior for what it is. In real life that rarely happens; instead they carp themselves into old age, their act finally becoming the actual.
The Awl presents some required reading for your lazy-writing indictment of the day.

It’s nice to have somewhere you’d rather be, but it’s better to have someone you’d rather be there with.

I directed a really fun 1 hour special episode of Web Soup today with Weird Al, Chris Hardwick, and Playmate of the Year 2007 Sara Jean Underwood. It won’t air until December, but don’t worry internet, I’ll remind you.
Blog / Off
It’s a hard life for a Tumblr star like Molls. People are always harassing you for internet shout-outs, and occasionally they kidnap your dog in a desperate attempt to get a book deal. Sometimes you have to take the law into your own hands to stop them.
Short film written and directed by me for the Tumblr Film Festival. Starring Molly McAleer and Tess Lynch (and Wags). The other short I made for the festival, Guess Who, can be seen here.
