New Dirs to add

You should just take a bus and spend the whole weekend there and see it like three or four times (unless you end up not liking it)...

Oh, don't even speak of such a thing. I will like it, I know I will. I mean, how could I not? I love David Gordon Green, I love Zooey, I love Paul Schneider, I love the trailer. I couldn't take that kind of disappointment. That would be the biggest disappointment I've ever experienced movie-wise.

Anyway, I've considered the bus idea. I just don't think I could ever get away with it. My mom would kill me.

Well, all I'm sayin' is...don't build it up that much for yourself. Consider the fact that it COULD be a sophomore slump film...

Then when you'll see it you'll like it a whole lot more.

I remember when I was about twelve I started taking my bike to the movies to see everything my parents normally wouldn't have let me see (starting with 'The Crow'). Once they realized that, they pretty much let me do whatever I wanted...but I wonder if they'd have let me go to NY when I was sixteen. Well, probably. They let my brother go to Ireland when he was seventeen.

You guys are just lucky then. I mean, I thought my mom was pretty lenient but yours are fucking awesome. That is really cool.

So I went to open up my local paper this morning, and what do I find but a HUGE interview with David Gordon Green. It says ALL the Real Girls opens at a theater about twenty minutes from my house on Friday. I guess my town's not so bad after all. In the interview DGG makes fun of Macy Gray being in Spiderman and Fiona Apple's speech that one year at the MTV awards.

Macy Gray in Spiderman = not cool

Fiona's speech = cool

He also hates DV, which is a count against him. But damn, George Washington is good.

Why is it a count against him? I hate DV its too raw.

ebeaman, can you cool out a bit?

[Ghostboy]

You shouldn't HATE anything. I personally prefer to use film, but I think DV is one of the best things to happen to indie filmmaking.

An actor whose name I won't mention (because it might discredit the following quote) said that aside from making it easier for poor filmmakers to get their movies made, DV filmmaking will force indies to be that much better, because there will be so many more being produced.

I agree completely.

Okay, Ethan Hawke said that. Chelsea Walls wasn't that good, but he's got the right idea about DV.

[Cecil]

thats true. of course film looks better, way better, but ignoring dv as a possible tool for filmmaking is foolish (im pretty sure i stole that line from someone).
