Things That Are Happening



These are the filmmakers from Indie Comedy, "The Foot Fist Way". From left to right, Ben Best, Jody Hill and Danny McBride. They made this movie for $70,000 (which is paltry for movies, I've worked on tightly budgeted short films with budgets more than half that), and it is hilarious. Credit to Gary Sanchez Productions for believing in these guys, and putting this film out there for everyone to see. It's only in LA and NY right now, but it should be expanding soon. Do a Google News search for these guys to read more about how they did this, and what they're doing now.



Parties like this were ALL over LA this weekend. When I went to the movie theater this weekend it took me at least 30 minutes and a handful of illegal maneuvers to find parking. Groups of girls and highly stylized men were dressed to the nines, and there was no mistake that they were out to celebrate. I don't even want to know how many Cosmopolitans were sold this weekend. Bravo ladies, you wanted your big weekend, and when you got it, you took advantage of it. But I think the really story is not how many of these parties there were, and the huge business that the movie did, but how many fights were had. With all these parties, dresses, and cosmos you know there were some fights about who was invited, what was being worn, whose boyfriend could come, why is she here? I'm not riding with her! Etc. Etc.
