PRETTY EPIC IF YOU ASK ME

I like it.

Sundance

Alright so I need to write this fast because either one of two will happen: 1) I will eat myself to death, I just ate a whole bag of Snapea Crisps and now I'm on the prowl for something else to munch on. 2) I will pass out, as I just took a melatonin pill to help me fall asleep in approximately 30 minutes.

Now down to the point. I was checking out IMDB.com the other day and they have a special Sundance Film Festival section, so I went to check it out and they had some images from the movies playing there so I picked out 5 that I would like to see when they hopefully and eventually make it so theaters. The 5th one I actually found just on Sundance's website.

1) The Future directed and written by Miranda July
"When a couple decides to adopt a stray cat their perspective on life changes radically, literally altering the course of time and space and testing their faith in each other and themselves." - IMDB.com
-Um, sounds adorable, and I just bought Miranda July's book "No One Belongs Here More Than You" so I was excited to see this on the website. I also need to netflix her first feature Me You and Everyone We Know if I am becoming her biggest fan (before I actually delve into her stuff)



2) My Idiot Brother
"A comedy centered on an idealist who barges into the lives of his three sisters." - IMDB.com
-This features Paul Rudd, among other stars, being what I assume the idiot brother. I love Paul Rudd therefore I will most likely love this movie.




3) Salvation Boulevard
"Set in the world of mega-churches in which a former Deadhead-turned-born again-Christian finds himself on the run from fundamentalist members of his mega-church who will do anything to protect their larger-than-life pastor." - IMDB.com
- Sounds epic and hilarious I love psycho over-the-top religious freaks, bring it on.



4) Martha Marcy May Marlene
"Haunted by painful memories and increasing paranoia, a damaged woman struggles to re-assimilate with her family after fleeing an abusive cult." - IMDB.com
-Sounds like a tough subject to make a film about, but I'm interested. Also the photos on IMDB are beautiful.



5) Another Happy Day directed and written by Sam Levinson
"A wedding at her parents' Annapolis estate hurls high-strung Lynn into the center of touchy family dynamics." - IMDB.com
- I watched this little video featuring Sam Levinson on Sundance's website and hearing him talk about his film made it sound pretty awesome. He says in this little video "I'm fascinated by communication and by the desire and the need to communicate and how often communication fails." Check out the video below:

Flash Mob Wedding?

As weird as this sounds its oddly touching and reminded me of the wedding where everyone danced to Chris Brown's "Forever".

Fan Mail

Fan Mail from Sean Christensen on Vimeo.

This video reminds me of my weird habit of saying that I'm gonna write people fan letters, and then I never do. I don't think I ever have... OH WAIT. I wrote Michael Phelps a fan letter. I wish I photocopied that shit, its probably pretty funny. And just to clear things up, I've been a HUGE Michael Phelps fan since his debut in the 2004 Summer Olympics. I was 14 at the time, and I got on a swim team right away in hopes of becoming an Olympic swimmer and meeting him (or something). Anyways I did NOT write this letter when I was 14 and I no longer swim on a team or anything, I did the team thing for a year or so. Anyways, right before the 2008 Summer Olympics my feelings about swimming and Michael Phelps came swarming back. I decided I needed to write him a letter before the Olympics started. So I did, this means I was 18. HAHA. I'm sure this letter was cheesy, and I was thinking about the same things Sean Christensen brings up in his film. Oh well. I asked for a signature at the end of my letter, and I waited, and waited for a long time. Then one day, last Fall (2009) I got a text from my mom telling me a got a letter in the mail from Michael Phelps. I was beyond stoked, I was at some dinner with my friends and I got so excited I almost cried (I'm such a weirdo). Anyways eventually when I made it home, I opened the letter and I received a generic letter and a post card size photo with a printed signature. Sad. I still love Michael Phelps, but I was kind of disappointed.

One of the fan letters I said I was going to send but never did was going to be to Hal Fishman from KTLA news. I seriously said this FOR YEARS. Every time my parents watched the 10pm news I would tell my parents I was going to send him a fan letter. I was going to write to him to inform of how intelligent I thought he was and how he should run for president because he seemed to know everything, and had a legit solution to the world's biggest problems. Sadly, I never got the opportunity to send this letter because he died in 2007. Which is why I decided to send Michael Phelps my fan mail in 2008. And seriously, I would nominate Hal Fishman to be president of the world. He was so great.

Dear LOVELINE with Mike and Dr. Drew,

actually let me readdress this letter/rant/complaint:

Dear Dumb Bitches who call in to Loveline,
Why must you all complain about not being able to orgasm during sex?! I rarely listen to Loveline, the only time I hear it is when I am driving home from work late at night or for some random reason am driving at night time. But let me tell you 5 out of the 6 times I have listened to Loveline I hear some "DB" complain about not being able to orgasm, and how she feels its ruining her relationship. THEN, I always get to listen to Mike and Dr. Drew explain "You know its very common that woman can't orgasm from just penetration alone, there must be clitoris stimulation." I HAVE HEARD THIS OVER AND OVER. So now I will ask you DBs WHY ON EARTH DO YOU CALL IN WITH OUT LISTENING TO THE FUCKING SHOW?! You must've heard it AT LEAST ONCE! AND I GUARANTEE YOU HEARD SOME OTHER DB COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM YOU HAVE. I swear, I'm under the impression that Loveline requires at least one woman to call in per night to complain about orgasm. Another point I would like to make, is HOW DO YOU WOMEN NOT KNOW THE ANSWER TO YOUR ORGASM PROBLEM?! COME ON. I MEAN, SERIOUSLY YOU ARE MAKING US LOOK BAD. And here is another question I have for you, why are you calling Loveline a talk show hosted by MEN for the answer to your body problems. YOU ARE DUMB. AND TO QUOTE ANTOINE DODSON "YOU ARE REALLY DUMB, FO'REAL". Get a new question, I'm sick of hearing the same thing over and over am losing faith in the female race as a result of this radio show.

Love,
Paulina


P.S. If you peeps have no idea what I'm talking about: http://www.lovelineshow.com/

Willow Smith is a BAD ASS

She's 9 and probably cooler than I will ever be.
I wish I was just cool enough to be in the music video, the toddler is even cooler than me.
I can't wait to see what other music/fashion choices flow from this young lady.

FAV FILM STILLS

So I'm a huge nerd when it comes to film stills, I follow a blog where people post film stills that they've captured on their computer. I love how each still is packed with loads of meaning and emotion whether the viewer has seen the film or not. I've always been interested in the phrase "that photo looks like a film still" (because I am interested in photography also) this is usually a compliment, and it must be because the images are so loaded. I've done my own captures of two films so far (I will post later) But I thought I would post my favorite images/captures that others have done.

Enjoy!

(100 points to whoever can name all the movies)
