I talked to my friend last night about the Malick shoot.  "Tree of Life."

He was working with the 2nd unit, so Malick wasn't even there.  They did a video call with him once a day, but that was it.  He had specific rules for shots (such as certain depths of field) and if they were not followed, the footage was "disqualified" by "Terry."  No Brad Pitt or Sean Penn either.  No actors at all, just the Icelandic terrain.

There are top secrets that I cannot reveal about unannounced future Malick projects.

R____ worked his way up during the 3 week shoot from production assistant to key grip.  He operated the crane.  He was able to repair an electronic malfunction one day and that made him a hero.  He saved a shot.

I wish I could talk about the secret stuff, but they were impressed with his work and may have more work for him in the future, so I don't want to screw it up for him.

Here he is manning the crane on a waterfall shot:

You can tell me in private. I have no one to repeat it to anyway.

Section 101
H
seats 13 and 14
= expensive

(about four times what I paid the last time I saw Neil)

[matthew]

They consider the floor seats (the ones in the folding chairs) to be "cheap seats", eh? Damnit. I only thought of that once I started the process and had I gone back I would have lost my place in queue and perhaps not even secured the floor seats. @#!$

It still would have cost me double of my tickets in 1996 (this was a pre-sale), but I have a feeling this may be the last time that Neil Young comes to Montreal.

Damn, I just remembered that Wilco is opening...was not even taking that in to consideration.

Oh shoot.. thanks for reminding me, I gotta git me some Neil tix too.   I passed on the last few times he was here.   I'm very very thirsty for it now.

[captqitn]

Yep.. like a lot of Onion stuff, the premise was humorous enough, but the follow-through makes it very special.

[captqitn]

Matt, are there any Neil tricks?   should i be going through his fan page or something?   Or is it straight up luck of the ticketmaster draw?

[matthew]

According to his page NYC tix are on sale now!

I registered for an account last night (just email confirmation) and then refreshed the page this morning until it came up with information on purchasing.

I was defeated by captcha's three times in a row.

my brother had the cool evel knievel van with tools and the wind up motorcycle and the snake river flying motorcylce.  evel and barbie did it in the van before breakfast on the tool chest ...


luke loved recording at the high school radio station; he gets a copy of the their song, six steps to counting...he told the program director of the radio station, he could ride his bike to the station and work there when he turns 13

he had a great bday and pukeface was nice to both of them...


i forgot to tell you my oldest son told me to fuck off, ... i promptly took both of his guitars, amp, effects pedals and cords and told him i might sell them  if he wasnt going to respect me....do you think i was too harsh?  made him go to bed too, he is 13

That sounds about right.    I get very bent out of shape when the boys sass their mom.    And the keyboard is what I take away when they cross the line.

Moms are special people.   They absolutely require 'spect.

So, anyone wanna place some bets on whether the Swedes press the reset button on the universe tomorrow?

I'm guessing that Trip is rooting for that.
