Rehearsals Are Rolling Along!

Last night the rehearsals and the documentary kept on rolling. The more footage I get the better the finished story will be....or at least that is the theory!

Chianti was kind enough to print off the forms for The Lot contest and drop them by my house yesterday. I frantically filled them out and placed that and the DVD with my hideous intro to Hard Drive Cafe inside. Today they will start the odyssey to Beverly Hills and the contest will begin!

I've decided to take a drastic turn regarding the way I purchase DVDs.
Anyone who knows me knows I have a library of a collection but the fact is that I don't really care for many that are coming out today. I guess it is the same for most theatrical movies right now. There are some that peak my interest but some I could care less about.

There are some I want but just aren't released yet such as The African Queen.

So I have decided to sign up to Netflix. From now on I'll sample before I buy. This is only an experiment at this point and it might only last a month but we'll see how it goes. I have subscribed to the four movies at a time plan.

I do watch a lot of movies so four at a time isn't that much for me. Anyone who knows me knows that I tend to watch more classics. I LOVE most of the movies offered by the Criterion Collection and have several in my library.

Ha....Library. It is more like a money pit! But with the amount of movies I have, I can tell you that it is like having a film school in my living room. I have learned the art of filmmaking with teachers like Akira Kurosawa, Alfred Hitchcock, John Huston, Sam Peckinpah, Frank Capra, and contemporaries like Robert Rodriguez, Steven Spielberg, David Lynch, and the great Ridley Scott.
