GOD OF THUNDER!

2010-01-14T05:43:00.000-08:00

so, thor started shooting monday, and is set to be released on may 6th of next year.

my level of stoked is immeasurable right now.

finally a movie about a god i can stand behind!

reboot!

2010-01-11T20:37:00.001-08:00

so, news is in that the spider-man franchise is getting a reboot.

to this i say, "thank the gods!"

as far as i'm concerned, so much was wrong with the first set of movies. the green goblin dressed as a power ranger, kirsten dunst as mary jane, skipping over most of peter's time in high school.

and the third installment was just a disaster.

let's get that kid from sky high in as peter, keep him in high school for at least the entire first film, if not longer. don't ignore the existence of gwen stacy. this could turn out pretty awesome.

it worked for the hulk.

christmas news

2009-12-25T01:45:00.000-08:00

so, i've had this friend for an incredibly long time. we were extremely close.

our moms used to work together, and as it turned out, their sons had a lot in common, and we became pretty close.

we worked my first kitchen job together. we hung out at this pier on private property that we weren't actually allowed on pretty much every weekend.

we lost touch for about a year, but recently started running into each other here and there. plans were to be made to take back our glory days.

those plans were never made.

this morning. christmas day in 2009, i hear at four a.m. that my friend died four days ago.

ryan and martha do a sitcom

2009-12-20T16:05:00.000-08:00

my friend martha and i have these elaborate plans to create a sitcom that is essentially about us infiltrating hipsters and drinking a lot in brooklyn.

so far, we have a few episode ideas.

prime of which is "ryan and martha kill a drifter."

premise:
ryan and martha are friends that share a shitty apartment in bushwick.
they go on many an adventure, usually fueled by drugs and alcohol.
ryan will be a barback and martha will work in an office.
there will be a steady supporting cast, including martha's unattractive wingman, eunice, and our enigmatic friend that lives in the same neighborhood, michael.

we'll be filming a pilot for this relatively soon. will be awesome.

pretending it's fall

2009-09-29T21:37:00.000-07:00

so the first day of autumn has already passed.

and tonight, the first night it feels like it, i'm taking full advantage.
cigarettes, my side porch, folk music, and a six-pack of cheap beer.

is there really any better way to spend the first night in florida that is under 65 degrees?

i think not.

unfortunately, as is the nature of my life, i'm alone.
granted, this happens less than it used to recently.

in fact, i've built myself an amazing circle of friends in recent months. gotten back in contact with some of my best friends. made new amazing friends. i might be inspired in future posts (taking a note from an old friend's blog) to tell the world about how amazing my friends are.

later days.
