If a Tree Falls In the Forest, It Better Make Some Noise

As lame as it seems, this makes Hot Baby real (even though I was there, we shot it, we recorded it, we spent the money).

So the movie is being edited, and I haven't seen a lick, but I am anxious. Jeff (the director) says it looks great (especially for the little movie it is) and he seems happy. I am hoping to get an assembly edit within the next few weeks. (BTW - I can't believe I figured out how to do the screenshot thing in like five minutes).

Also, My Brother will have a Spotlight screening the evening of Friday, October 6th (complete with after-movie reception) at the Harlem International Film Festival. Anyone in NYC is invited. The screening is being held at the Magic Johnson Theatre.

Thanks Dawny. We worked very hard.

Jill said...

Good work Grumpy! I almost feel accomplished by association. :)

ab said...

Hey, who taught you how to do a screen shot anyway?!

ME!

Just sayin :)

Congrats.

Did you ever get any topics for the VL's?

Grumpy O. Selznick said...

No you didnt steph. I asked but u never told me. taught me plenty else tho.

wc- still waitin

ab said...

Hey, can you change my link back now? Please. I'm not a wrestling chick. At least make me a hot Rock chick or something. But no tat's. I don't like tat's.

wcdixon said...

Might be boring to most, but a insiders look at post production on a low budget movie and dealing with the 'trickle in' factor from a producer/business standpoint could be interesting...and to spice it up you alternate with the next big date quest. Or perhaps draw an analogy between the two?

Grumpy O. Selznick said...

all hot rock chicks have tats, no?

wcd - i'll give it some thought.

Jill said...

Grumpy: are you ignoring me?

Okay, so you're looking for a weekly them post. Hmmm...I don't have one either but let's see...I would love for you to provide a weekly tip to single girls on what to do/not to do to make a guy happy. This could be illustrated with a story from your dating past or something that a friend has shared with you. Maybe this is too girly but I kinda dig it. Or, it could be the opposite where you ask for advice each week re dating and the girls can chime in.

Jill said...

I made typos just now but I'm too lazy to fix'm. :)

Grumpy O. Selznick said...

Jill - how would i be ignoring you? do you need my attention? shall i bring my kneepads.

I do like your ideas -maybe doing one and then the other would be good. I have written quite abit about dating, and asked ppl what they think, w/o huge response. But the ASK GRUMPY column sounds like a good idea, and I wouldnt be the one coming up with all the ideas. Of course, we've dry run this concept on your page, Crazy. I mean Curly.

Jill said...

Knee pads?? So, it's that kind of party, I see...;)

Ask Grumpy sounds great to me but...us VL's need to be somewhat spoonfed so if you just make it a post where we ask you random stuff it probably won't work. A topic/theme will be required.

Grumpy O. Selznick said...

I think what I would rather do is request questions, at any time. Question would be a situation, full described, I'd pick one and respond. Kinda like Dear Abby. But the question box could stay open, and I would respond to one per week, two per week, whatever seems to work.

How bout that?

Grumpy O. Selznick said...

Difference being, that I am totally unqualified, and I believe she has a master's degree.

Jill said...

Well, it's worth a shot. Where do we send these questions?

Jill said...

Oh, and I have one: Please describe your concept of a "perfect" first date with Curly. :)

Grumpy O. Selznick said...

thats not the type of question we were talking about jill.

and can't people email me through this blog privately? or do i have to set up a link?

Jill said...

There's def. a way to set up an "email me" thing in your profile and on the main page under your little profile. Also, why is your info so low on the page? It should be at the top.

Also, you said to ask anything. I could change what I wrote from "describe" to "what would be" and that would totally constitute a fair question.

Don't be a chicken.

ab said...

She's got a point, Grumpy. I think you need to answer the question.

Answer the question!!!

heh.

Jill said...

Nice!! Are you pulling that one from Breakfast Club?? If so, I'm totally stoked that I recognized that! "Answer the question, Claire, just answer the question".

Grumpy O. Selznick said...

Funny, when you first wrote it, I was totally thinking, Curly, dream date ends, calvins on a bunch on the dashboard past ten on a school nite.

No idea why that came to mind. Crazy friday quote post coincidence gods.

Jill said...

Haha! Awesome. :)

Looking forward to taking the family to the red carpet premiere on Hot Baby too - can lil Emily come?

Gus

Jill said...

Hi Gus! :)

Grumpy O. Selznick said...

Dont know what kind of premiere I expect from Hot Baby, and Im think Em might be a little young for a blood-drenched comedy.

Curly you stalker.
