Diablo Cody at the New beverly!
One of my favorite theatres in LA is the New Beverly because it reminds me of the trashy "art" theatres of my college days.
I grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah and there was one art house that was in the basement of this building close to downtown SLC.
We'd watch old movies, weird new movies, disturbing animation and foreign films and then go to the IHOP and talk about life, philosophy all the amazing films we had seen.
So, i just read, (i know, i'm behind! but i've been watching film submissions all night for my job)... anyway, just read that Diablo Cody is guest curating a week or so of films at the New Beverly.... yay.
check it out!
I'm spending Pioneer Day with Diablo and Pretty in Pink!
If you don't know what Pioneer Day is... you have to go to Utah on the 24th of July - you will forever make an annual pilgramage.
JULY 23-24 - Chick Night
DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN
PRETTY IN PINK

RIP George Carlin
Just heard that George Carlin died. So sad, I used to memorize and

David Lynch 55 second short!
David Lynch rocks, this is David Lynch's 55 second short filmed with an original Lumiere camera. 40 international directors were asked to make a short film using the original Cinematographe invented by the Lumière Brothers, working under conditions similar to those of 1895. There were three rules: (1) The film could be no longer than 52 seconds, (2) no synchronized sound was permitted, and (3) no more than three takes.
You can see more awesome Lynch videos here.
Oh my god! I can't wait.
I just heard from the awesome staff at Cinevegas that as a juror I'll get a reserved seat to go to this show at the Wynn! I can't freaking wait!
As a part of the 10th Annual CineVegas Film Festival, a site specific installation featuring an animation piece by renowned international artist Takashi Murakami will be featured at Wynn Las Vegas for one night only on Monday, June 16, 2008.
I have dreams of doing something like this at AFI FEST on the Cinerama Dome or at the Kodak.
Last week to catch California Video
The amazing video show California Video that has been running since May in Los Angeles ends June 8th!
It's not too late to catch a few more of the pieces and installations.
some super cool work - check it out.

Cannes Poster
I love the Cannes 2008 official poster with a photo taken by David Lynch, so gorgeous.
I absolutely adore David Lynch and I wish I could have seen the art show he did this summer in Paris with the fetish artist Louboutin where the Cannes image came from.
Here are two more of the images from the show.
Also, if you aren't familiar with the David Lynch Foundation take a look at these links! Trust me, it'll change your life.

Volcano in Chile
I was reading this article on the National Geographic Site about the volcano in Chile.
This photograph is just extraordinary. I hope everyone is okay there, I remember when Mt. St. Helen erupted, it was terrifying. Still this photo is just amazing.
