you think you're such a free radical
i worked on a film this weekend involving lesbians in prison.
it's a pilot for a new "edgy" drama called "eden." apparently both HBO and F/X are interested in picking it up. we shot in an abandoned jail just north of downtown. kind of creepy. if any of you have seen "session 9", and i know some of you have, that's where we shot. at least it felt like it. any minute i expected crew members to start disappearing strangely and then reappearing dead or in zombie form. the pilot itself was pretty intense. try to wrack your brain for what could possibly be included in a TV show about lesbians in prison gangs...
don't let your kids see this show.
in other news, went to a screening for a rare 1969 french film about government conspiracies and coverups. oliver stone and leonard maltin were there as moderators, so it was pretty interesting. stone introduced the movie because it apparently heavily influenced his work in JFK, another film about government conspiracies. as i knew it would, the q&a soon turned into a bush-bashing contest. stone remarked of richard nixon, that "he made mistakes, but atleast he had a conscience!" to which the valley crowd of film enthusiasts exploded into an almost giddy frenzy of claps and "OMG BUSH SUCKS! LOL!" now, i have my problems with him as well, but it seemed a bit over the top.
ah well. Platoon was still amazing, oliver. even if you are an insane conspiracy theorist.
in other other news, jon and i have found the perfect solution to L.A.'s "Waffle House-less" problem: Norm's. Norm's is a 24 hour diner in the WH tradition. excellent coffee and breakfast all day, of course. and wait, a five dollar meal??? WHAT??? THIS IS LA!! i pay on average eight bucks a meal usually when i eat out. this means i'll eat at Norm's for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. every day.

hey ethan! guess who has a blog now? yes, me. although i'm kinda retarded and can't figure out how to put links on my page.. but it will come in time i'm sure. anyway, just wanted to say hey.
hey ethan,
enjoying your blog
nice to know that you're alive despite the lack of WH
I can't imagine...
ash was over here last night hanging with J
didn't see them though
Rand took littles to a movie and I went & got a pedicure
they (Asher & Josh not Rand & littles) hung out at Starbucks to be cool - literally.
ironically enough our AC downstairs was out too.
must be a brotherly shared experience thing.
oh, and they took care of my horse while I went out to dinner with Rands.
nice to see him (Asher not the horse) - even if it was just a fleeting glance.
i'll let you know when the garmon blog is up
just a slight learning curve with iLife and I'll have everything in one place
right now garmon stuff is everywhere - so messy!
look us up before you head back to Athens
you know i will.
