Movies, movies, movies...

Yes, I am the only loser on the planet who has yet to see Avatar.  Aside from a bit of shopping and hangin' with the chicas, I am planning a blockbuster weekend to catch up.  I rented Avatar, Crazy Heart, Brothers and because I've cried during the trailer many times... The Blind Side.  I have tons to do for the boutique and other things but I plan on fitting-in at least two in the mix.

Obviously, my choices seem complete opposite genres of one another but I find a good mix is best.  I never know what I am going to be inspired by - I tend to find inspiration at the most random times, in the oddest things.  I may find it in a full-length Oscar winning performance, an oddball character in a short film, or a random individual from a documentary.

I guess I should also mention my Netflix picks: Journey to the Edge of the Universe and Very Young Girls - Like I said, my choices tend to be quite random.  As much as I love thrillers or horror films I've never understood why some people are so drawn to just one type of genre - there is so much out there to love, and as a filmmaker, learn from.

Oh well, enough meaningless rambling.  Catch a movie or DVD this weekend and get inspired!

  1. I'm there with you in loserville when it comes to Avatar... Netflix won't have it available to ship for another month, but I figure I've waited this long, I can wait a bit longer!
