RIP estelle getty, even though you should have died like a hundred and fifty years ago, we’re still sad to see you go.
but hey, take some consolation in knowing that you lived to be a millllion!
now when joe isn’t borderline suicidal from watching the lakers lose to the celtics in the NBA finals, or getting sucked out on digusto styles for 20k pots playing online poker, he’s running his own streetwear company, franco shade.
he just put up a great post on their site about the history of the company. read all about it!
check my man KGs emphatic post game interview where he shouts me out and hollers at michele tafoya.
so myself being from boston, and my friend joe navran, one of the most hardcore lakers fans ever, decided to make a bet on the celtics v. lakers NBA finals in which the loser had to take a picture wearing the other teams jersey, and make it their default myspace picture for a month. so stay tuned to joe navran’s page to see him in a beautiful, luscious paul pierce jersey.
HOLLA!
root for my hometown peoples tuesday!
(keep tabs on joe navran’s myspace page for he and i’s prop bet)
hello friends, here are some short films i just released.
some behind the scenes junk at victorsolomondotcom
we got it for cheap VOLUME THREE
instead of having a traditional fashion show for his upcoming fall collection, Stefano Pilati presented his new line with a projected triptych which is hauntingly beautiful and amazingly done.
so during my time at film school i was apart of and witnessed some of the worst films in the history of cinema.
i found this film synopsis, and couldn’t help but share:
“Jack and Diane, two teenage lesbians, meet in New York City and spend the night kissing ferociously. Diane’s charming innocence quickly begins to open Jack’s tough skinned heart. But, when Jack discovers that Diane is leaving the country in a week she tries to push her away. Diane must struggle to keep their love alive while hiding the secret that her newly awakened sexual desire occasionally turns her into a werewolf.”
I thought it was funny until i found out that its a real feature film, with a real budget and i’m really going to see it when it comes out.
Checked out Anton Corbijn’s Ian Curtis biography, ‘Control’ last night. Whether you are a die hard Joy Division fan, or just a casual listener, it’s an amazing picture. Beautifully shot, perfectly acted and successfully void of the traps many musician bio-pic’s tend to make.
Check this one out asap. Trailer here.
this is real and looks weird…that is all.
Here’s a set of amazing spots Wes Anderson recently directed for AT&T
I was talking to a very accomplished producer today about these spots, and he told me that when the agency that commissioned them contacted Wes, he said, “well, I don’t really want to do commercials any more, but i’ll do them for 100k/day”. Making him one of the highest paid directors probably ever. (when ridley scott does commericals he typically gets 40-50k/day, which is double the ‘typical’ rate for ‘middle of the road’ commercial directors, at 15-25k/day). Good to know ridiculous style is worth something…
I for one want to say, with conversion rates being what they are, it’s way baller to flip a stack of euros. well played hov.
This is so fascinating that nothing I could say would do it justice. Read for yourself!
big homie adam squires put me onto the ‘beer + emo = busted career’ blog today. beautiful and hilarious graphs about whatevs!
So I was watching TV last night, suffering through beautifully shot commercials for medications to keep me from spreading herpes, when a new one came on for a medication called REQUIP.
REQUIP is the ‘first FDA approved medication for treating restless leg syndrome’. First off, I didn’t know that that even existed; secondly, I can’t believe that it’s so bad that a medication is necessary.
As usual, 20 of the 30 seconds of the commercial were spent explaining the side effects, and that’s when I heard something very strange.
Oh yes, “Increased Gambling” is a side effect. I’m gonna go on REQUIP just as excuse for the gambling problem I already have. What’s the point of going on a medication for restless leg syndrome when it seems like it makes the rest of your life restless?
