Journal, Opinion and Rants!
I’m heading out to Lexington Theatre in Los Angeles for Carlos Alazraqui and friends show. Sean Corvelle will be the host for the evening. We’re planning to spend the rest of the evening somewhere in Downtown Los Angeles after the show.
I picked up Apple TV on October 1st, 2010 and I have been watching a few movies from the past few years. For this installment, I’d like to say a few thing about Star Trek movie. The one with young Kirk and Spock. The one from J.J. Abrams.
I would like to focus a few things about the future that I learnd from this movie.
OK, back to watching the movie.
Getting ready to capture Jill-Michele Meleán show on the camera tonight at the Irvine Improv.
I will be using at least two cameras for the whole show. More info to come.
Separating from the “news” and personal opinion, that’s why I’m posting this on the blog part of 37prime.com.
Jason Calacanis is an attention whore.
For sure that Calacanis is not getting that much followers on Twitter as much as he hoped. I, Cringely picked up Calacanis’ tweets as story. Calacanis’ failed attempt at humor does show his true character, nothing but an attention whore. The only smart thing Calacanis ever done is selling Weblogs, Inc. to AOL for millions of Dollars. Since then Calacanis has been living large on the payout.
There I said it.
I don’t have any Blu-ray players and I’m buying “Up” Blu-ray. It comes with the DVD version for a much lower price compared to others.
I paid $19.99 for the set.
Amazon is selling the “Up” Blu-ray+DVD+Digital Copy (4-disc) set also for $19.99 this week. This price won’t last long.
I don’t have SyFy channel on my TV. New episode of Stargate Universe is on tonight. I’m going to watch it on Hulu.com.
New Sourh Park episode titled “Dead Celebrities” premieres tonight. It spoofs “The Sixth Sense” and takes on the high profile Celebrity deaths in Summer 2009.
So I snuck in to Sony Pictures Office on Monday and managed to snag the final draft of “the social network” script. This version of the script is the one David Fincher will be shooting starting this late October.
The final cut of the movie is estimated to clock in at 2 hours and 12 minutes of Mark Zuckerberg as portrayed by Jesse Eisenberg non-denial denial about the events described in “The Accidental Billionaires” book through Zuckerberg’s Facebook Wall.
Seriously, do you really want to see this movie?
Even David Fincher doesn’t want to see this movie.
OK, I didn’t sneak into Sony Pictures Office, but I did visit the pre-production office for this movie.
This is silly, but not as silly as casting Justin Timberlake for this stupid movie.
On Monday May 4th, 2009 I had a remote recording session with Carlos Alazraqui and Cedric Yarbrough. Some might ask why I put Carlos before Cedric. The answer is pretty simple. Alphabetically Carlos Alazraqui comes before Cedric Yarbrough; be it by the first name or the last name.
We recorded a simple video using a Polycarbonate MacBook built-in iSight straight into iMovie ’09. Carlos and Cedric recorded their parts while I was 40-something miles away. Yes, we were using iChat to set-up, edit and encode the video.
After the video was done I uploaded it to a server so it can be downloaded by someone in the East Coast.
That was a great use of technology.
I think I have enough for tonight. I’ve been color correcting the video clips for a while now. I can’t really make the colors of the videos from three different cameras to be exactly the same. They are close enough.
I’m going to email Carlos some test footage for him to review.
