Striking Colors
I don’t know that I have ever seen a one-sheet with this depth of color. Somehow, Sony seems to have gotten a real sense of texture in these one-sheets, even when wall-sized. The image idea is ok, but the color really hit me…

It shows how out of it I was in trying to be in it, acknowledging that I was out of it to myself, and then thinking, “Okay, how do I stop being out of it? Well, I get some legitimate illogical narrative ideas” — some novel, you know?
So I decided on three writers that I might be able to option their material and get some producer, or myself as producer, and then get some writer to do a screenplay on it, and maybe make a movie.
And so the three projects were “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep,” “Naked Lunch” and a collection of Bukowski. Which, in 1975, forget it — I mean, that was nuts. Hollywood would not touch any of that, but I was looking for something commercial, and I thought that all of these things were coming.
There would be no Blade Runner if there was no Ray Bradbury. I couldn’t find Philip K. Dick. His agent didn’t even know where he was. And so I gave up.
I was walking down the street and I ran into Bradbury — he directed a play that I was going to do as an actor, so we know each other, but he yelled “hi” — and I’d forgot who he was.
So at my girlfriend Barbara Hershey’s urging — I was with her at that moment — she said, “Talk to him! That guy really wants to talk to you,” and I said “No, fuck him,” and keep walking.
But then I did, and then I realized who it was, and I thought, “Wait, he’s in that realm, maybe he knows Philip K. Dick.” I said, “You know a guy named—” “Yeah, sure — you want his phone number?”
My friend paid my rent for a year while I wrote, because it turned out we couldn’t get a writer. My friends kept on me about, well, if you can’t get a writer, then you write.”

“That was the most disappointing thing to me in how this thing was played. Is that I’m on the phone with you now, after all that’s been said, and the fundamental distinction between what James is dealing with in these other cases is not actually brought to the fore. The fundamental difference is that James Franco didn’t seek to use his position to have sex with anyone. There’s not a case of that. He wasn’t using his position or status to try to solicit a sexual favor from anyone. If he had — if that were what the accusation involved — the show would not have gone on. We would have folded up shop and we would have not completed the show. Because then it would have been the same as Harvey Weinstein, or Les Moonves, or any of these cases that are fundamental to this new paradigm. Did you not notice that? Why did you not notice that? Is that not something notable to say, journalistically? Because nobody could find the voice to say it. I’m not just being rhetorical. Why is it that you and the other critics, none of you could find the voice to say, “You know, it’s not this, it’s that”? Because — let me go on and speak further to this. If you go back to the L.A. Times piece, that’s what it lacked. That’s what they were not able to deliver. The one example in the five that involved an issue of a sexual act was between James and a woman he was dating, who he was not working with. There was no professional dynamic in any capacity.

the myspace thingy is eyecatching too even if you aren;t interested in the movie.
Lota, what’s the link?
Is there any non-insider buzz on this film at all? The trailer seems to get no reaction from the audience every time I see it.
They’ve been waiting to push after Pirates, but they are screenign it extensively, including tomorrow night outside at the John Anson Mount with the LAFF.
I still don’t think it looks any good. The people looks god damned creepy as all hell.
non-insider buzz is that some of the Emily-fans like it because it’s goofy. Some of the hello kitty folks too but I don’t have a straw poll. or a Gallup.
Palmtree–I just sign into myspace and I see some freaky stuff that looks like the one sheet has come to life…door to door. It looks better than the Chicken Little ads thats for sure. There’s something odd about the colors that makes you LOOOOOK, so it isn;t just the one sheet.
I’m in a Fawlty Towers place (the mosquitoes have more authority and sense than the frickin staff) right now at geek convention hell so now that I have high speed access back again, I can sign in to myspace and see if the teaser is on some sort of loop.
well when i signed in this time I got Talladega Nights and Will Ferrell isn;t looking very pretty; I also got Open season.
So it looks like some films have “featured profiles” in the little letterbox cube, but they aren’t trailers necessarily. too tired to keep hitting reload on different pages to see if I will hit the loop. maybe Columbia did a little featured profile for myspace, because it did not look like the Monster House trailer. (or maybe someone is pimping Columbia on myspace and made their own little “ad”).
if I see it again i will hit it and see what the link says.
Harry Knowles like this movie.
I mean, “Harry Knowles love this movie.” Sorry.
Well, if that isn’t THE seal of approval, then I don’t know what is.
It certainly looks more impressive on the side of a building.
I strangely am anticipating this film very much?
^ I don’t know. Are you?
Nice one Cloud.
Lol. Thanks, Camel.
