i only remember useless things [20 Dec 2009|10:47am] cinemahoodlum i was trying to think of the decade in terms of what's happened in each year but i couldn't separate them. i couldn't remember what year i graduated high school. i don't know if my dad went to iraq in '03 or '04. i couldn't figure out when i moved into a house or made my first movie or when my step-grandfather's funeral happened or when i lost my mind and tied ribbons to trees and lived in the backyard for a couple of weeks. everything just kind of jumbles together. but it's weird because i know what year i saw monsters inc. in theaters, when i first saw the royal tenenbaums, when charlie kaufman melted my mind with adaptation, and all of that shit. i can't remember what year my grandmother died but i know i saw donnie darko: the diretor's cut in the city on july 23, 2004 on the day it opened. i mean jesus, i graduated in may and can't remember which day but i know i saw a matinee showing of hostel on january 11, 2006. post comment

[16 Dec 2009|04:02pm] cinemahoodlum "With the exception of the famous actors, every person we see fired in the film is not an actor but a real life recently laid off person. The filmmakers put out ads in St. Louis and Detroit posing as a documentary crew looking to document the effect of the recession. When people showed up, they were instructed to treat the camera like the person who fired them and respond as they did or use the opportunity to say what they wished they had." the more i think about up in the air, the more i really, really loved it for more than just george clooney knowing how to rock a suit. post comment
