I haven’t had a game make me feel this out of touch with society since “Dune Coon Killer 3D” (via)
Doug just posted an epic entry at BigFuckingExplosions on a favorite subject of mine: movie trailer voice-overs. Won’t you go check it out?
The Shivers - Beauty
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.

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.
Anyone interested in joining the Coalition Against Directors Ruining Their Own Movies (C.A.D.R.T.O.M.)? (via legrand)
Because it’s Halloween and because I don’t know about you guys, but I sure don’t get sick of watching it, here once again is the trailer for The Rig.
Guess Who
When two evil rich industrialists are bored, they play a game. The most dangerous game. This is the video that Jonah Ray and I showed in the Tumblr Film Festival. It stars Jonah, Jay Johnston, and the Sklar Brothers. I directed, shot, and edited, Jonah and I co-wrote it, and Elysia Skye produced it. Cash Hartzell and Jason Ruiz were the crew.
Blog / Off, the other video I made for the festival with Tess and Molls, will be up soon!

Taschen is reprinting Helmut Newton’s legendary book SUMO (albeit in a more manageable size) and I really, really want one.
I have been playing with this zoomable demonstration of the relative sizes of different microscopic organisms for the last 20 minutes. It’s fascinating.
The Fat Eyed Peas - Ghoul Night
Los Angeles Hip Hop radio station Power 106 morning DJ Big Boy created this song, and for whatever reason I seem to hear it in my car almost every morning. Now, on a scale of 1 to 10, ten being something actually funny and one being Big Boy’s prank phone calls, which are never, ever funny, this ranks about a 5. Which makes it the funniest thing Big Boy’s ever done. Or maybe I’m just a sucker for anything that combines parody songs and Halloween.
