Marvelously Dull Life

So in digging through the videos saved on my computer I found a complete gem. A film I made when I was 13. It was shot in one take with my laptop's camera, it is 47 minutes long and was performed with Barbie's. Also the entire thing was improv. My mom was in charge of music and Rapunzel. Basically these four friends go to the middle of the forest at night to pick a pumpkin for their Halloween party. Then after four ghosts show up telling them not to pick pumpkins a vampire appears and kills one of the guys. Then the vampire fights a cat who is the guardian of the pumpkin that keeps humanity alive. The story concludes with two of the side characters dancing to Joker music with a cameo of an Orca. That is just a brief summary. I just got done watching and I am still processing what I just saw. I mean, what was 13 year old me thinking? It was made with such purpose and concentration. I was very serious about my art. Unfortunately I can't post my film here because I accide...

First of all I would like to add that my mother is not Debra Winger. In fact she wasn't even in the credits. But she was in the movie. So my mom's school got asked if any teenagers wanted to be bused off to be in a movie (and miss school) my mom was like 'heck yeah!' and signed up. My mom got bused with a bunch of other High Schooler's to a professional sports stadium in LA. There were a bunch of kids from a bunch of different High Schools. My mom was in her Sophomore or Junior year at the time. They were told to sit in the back and be really enthusiastic. Also to not wear stripes because camera's and stripes disagree. The crowd was so blurred out in the movie however that it's just a mass of colors. So they got to see filming, and see Billy Crystal yell at a guy who was like, three times taller (or two Billy Crystals stacked on top of each other) than him because Billy Crystal is short. For lunch they were given sack lunches with lame food inside (my ...

There are too many people who don't know about Phantom Of The Opera. Everyone should know about it. When my best friend once texted me that she had finally watched the movie after me pestering her about for what seemed like years and I felt an immense sense of pride. She loved it. I mean who wouldn't? It has the best love triangle ever and Rock Opera . Oh you heard me, Rock Opera . You know what's better than hearing people reach crazy high notes and sound good? Having drums and electric guitar along with it. Don't believe me? Phantom Of The Opera Theme Music of the Night (a.k.a. the one that makes me swoon) All I Ask Of You (a.k.a. one of reasons the love triangle is so difficult for me to pick one ship) and finally  Point Of No Return (a.k.a. the risque one that makes me blush listening to it) This musical was made the genius, Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber (Yes, he is a sir! Officially). In case that doesn't have you hooked here are some pictures: From the m...
