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!
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!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree there are so many good movies out there. You should not just pick one type. Also I thougth I was the only that has not seen Avatar. PS I am on Twitter @mheat12.
