A Dark & Moody Production

Okay, so, the Machinima section of Films & Videos is MOSTLY done. I need to do screenshot galleries (that may be done as a big epic Flash slideshow thingamajig), along with a page for the half-started projects such as The Spree, Killer Kim, and The Security Guard. Well, yeah, there is a Dead Run page that needs to be done. If I ever find the time to like, ya know, finish that dang flick. >_>

Work-wise, I’m going to HOPEFULLY have the NOBAS recut done by the end of the month. Opportunity is still set to get rolling. Test shoots and some coverage pick-ups will be snagged up in the coming weeks, getting the movie into motion with a proper start to shooting in August. I’m also getting back to the Three Bullets script, which hopefully will have a nice ‘n’ complete draft by the end of the year. Pity it’s gotten so out of hand. (if you know me, you’ll know that’s pretty common)

ALSO! I wanted to give special attention to my friend Vanessa, who has gotten her superawesome new website going! I highly recommend you check it out, tell her how awesome it is, and bookmark it in anticipation of her fantastic comic in the fantasy/adventure genre which, after having followed it for the last 5 years, I can say is shaping up amazingly!

And for now, I think that’s it. Enjoy, y’all! Til’ next time.

So, okay, bit of a hiatus as I had a Baha’i Service Project to do (VIVA PROJECT ZAYNAB!), but I’ve returned and gotten most of VOTW’s stuff finished up on the site here. Unfortunately, the pictures page will take some doing. Meh, I’m working on it when I can.

The Final Gunfight’s next.

Oh and NOBAS re-edit is in progress still. Here’s hoping my PC maintains stability long enough for me to keep it rolling. Once it’s done, however, that section should be pretty epic as well.

Additional Movie Recommendations:

L’armée des ombres
Jean-Pierre Melville doing a WW2 French Resistance film? Wow. It’s serious and dramatic, yet he allows himself to get into the action in a way that’s both exciting and horrifying. Has easily the grisliest strangling I’ve ever seen, more from the setup to the scene than the actual strangling. Genius film. Highly recommend it.

Città violenta
Sergio Sollima doing a great Italo-crime movie set, ironically, not in Italy and with a high amount of Hollywood actors (Charles Bronson, Jill Ireland, and Telly Savalas). The result is a great movie, helped by an excellent screenplay and some grin-worthy performances.  Full of intrigue and desire, with the right blend of moodiness and entertainment. A bleak, dark, twisty little crime picture.

And I do believe that is all for now.
