A Letter To 24-Year-Old Drew
Drew,
I know this is impossible, I can’t believe it myself, but I’m sending you this from 2 years in the future. Crazy right? I know. Apple released a thing called an iPad this year (2010), and though it’s a stupid name and it sounds lame, you will want one. Trust me. I hope this letter arrives on your birthday and finds you in good health (which you were, and wasn’t that...

Canon Announces 120 Mega Pixel APS-H CMOS Sensor
umuima:
I hope this means we can get high quality, uncompressed and aliasing free video in the future… Yeah right…
Books
I’m on a young adult book kick, not sure why, but the book I’m currently reading is quite good. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins… Check it out or something…

life sucks
Not for me it doesn’t. I smiled while writing this. Maybe I’m an idiot, but I enjoy looking at my life through a microscope and asking questions. The unexamined life is not worth living…
BTW, I wish Sleepwalking was playing near me so I could see it.

Things I Wonder About Myself
If I was better looking would my banter with women be considered (by them) flirting?
Why do I look like a pedophile when I wear baseball caps?
Should I start being a dick?
Is being somewhat self-deprecating good or bad for me?
Am I girl kryptonite?
Why can’t I get this music video done?
Can I start being a dick, or is it too late for me?
Why do I fall in love with every woman I see...

Justin Bieber slowed down 800% →
umuima:
“You totally hate Justin Bieber, right, because you’re a rebel, or whatever? That’s just because you haven’t listened to Bieber slowed down 800 percent. Now his new single “U Smile” is a 30-minute epic. And it sounds awesome. No, really.”
It’s the new soundtrack to my dreams.

Dropbox →
It’s one of my favorite websites lately. It’s basically a service that allows you to store 2gb online and share the folders across the internet and other devices (it creates a folder on your computer and automatically uploads it). This means you can stick a picture, video or song on a folder in your computer and then view it on your iphone or android. Whatever.. it’s only...
Film/Music Video Director: E-mail Discussions With... →
Hi (Cool band manager I respect),
So the ice cream parlor where we shot the music video is getting a write-up in the Chronicle, and the owner wants a link to the music video (he’s going to mention how a local indie band supported the indie ice cream parlor). Pretty cool I think. Is it OK if I give them my vimeo link to the music video? Might be good exposure for the band. I’ll make sure to have...
“Take that absolutely free promotion off the internet”
– Me, in response to hearing about how short sighted some promoters/managers are. The internet has never helped promote any band before anyway.
Drew's Completely Unqualified Guide To Getting...
I’m clearly unqualified to tell you how to be arrested. I’ve never been arrested. I hope I never am. That said, I know how I’ll act if that day ever comes. And I want this guide to help dummies who find themselves in this position (god forbid), so they don’t get shot or beaten.
I respect cops. To some of you that might ring true, to others that might seem misguided. Either...

Andrew Dominik "remaking" Tell No One →
So let’s get this straight. Tell No One is going to be an American remake of a French film (check it out on Netflix Watch Instantly, it’s great) that was adapted from an American novel (by novelist Harlan Coben). That’s the kind of convoluted globe hopping that Hollywood loves. Luckily I really like Andrew Dominik (Chopper & The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward...

The Importance of Being a Theater Goer
Set aside the gimmicks and outrageous concession costs that many theaters use to lure people in the door and make more money. Set aside the occasional obnoxious crowd members (which would get a taste of my fist if we didn’t live in such a litigious society) who can occasionally ruin an experience. The real reason to go to the theater is to support films and filmmakers that you like. Saying...

My Shared Stories →
I just got into using Google Reader, so now I have more amazing news stories then I know what to do with. I didn’t want to spam my followers, so I createda separate tumblr for the purpose of sharing those stories. Also check out my other tumblr for my long running “Best Videos on the Interwebs” style thingy.

Here’s the trailer for I Hate You, Dude. The song is Day Go by Brazos, just in case you were wondering.
