Our Living Room
I was going through some pictures on my computer and I realized I haven't put up any pictures of my apartment. Not many people really know what it looks like now that it's ... well ... now that it's nice. So check it out. Nice, isn't it? Thought so. It's where I spend most of my time. I have found that it's a comfortable place to write. It's also good cause when I'm not writing, I can be watching movies on that hugegantic TV.
I'm working on writing about four projects right now, producing and directing my own, raising funds for my film (which is just beyond what any film student ever does as a producer - the only reason I count it as a separate job entirely), working as a sound mixer on Shaun's project, and possibly producing Kent's narrative project. In addition to that, I have classes, so my posts have become short and relatively ... boring ... as of late.
However, today I got to meet Bryan Singer. He was at the school for our Contact Series, and he brought Dan Harris and Michael Dougherty with him. They talked about Superman, Logan's Run, X-Men and The Usual Suspects. All three were really funny, and Mike and Dan are unbelieveably young. They're only 25! 25!!!! That could be me in four years! It will be me in four years!
So, apparently, their visit to NY was not just for the Contact Series ... they were getting a feel for what Metropolis should feel like. They even toured The Daily News to get an idea of how The Daily Planet should look. Bryan said that they are going to cast an unknown as Superman, and immediately after that comment someone asked if Jim Cavaziel was in the running; Bryan didn't miss a beat, saying, "He's known, so that automatically disqualifies him, doesn't it?" When asked about casting of supporting roles, Bryan said that they were concentrating on casting Lex and Superman simultaneously, then they'd take care of the other roles. But he also said that he had a pretty good idea of what he wanted in those characters.
Kent got a picture with Bryan while I talked to Mike and Dan about writing. The funny thing was that, and they pointed this out themselves, the three of them represented all three of the major film schools in New York City. Bryan went to School of Visual Arts, Dan went to NYU and Mike went to Columbia. Being as polite as we were, none of us made any derogatory comments about Columbia, but we all laughed at the idea that Columbia teaches film production.

Pictures of slain hookers, of course.
Well, if Dave doesn't take any active role in the continuing decoration of our apartment, the most likely wall dressings are going to be movie posters. My movie posters.
