I Am Become Wenz: December 2005

http://shinybitterpeople.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html

Thursday, December 22, 2005. Esquire regularly does a feature called "What I've Learned," and here we stand with another year gone by. In their January 2006 issue, they compiled lists from Bob Saget, Neil Young, Ariana Huffington, John Kerry and others. I don't hate sentimentality. I hate cheap sentimentality, and the "What I've Learned" feature veers from this. So here, to wind down 2005, I write my own list. Things I Learned in 2005. Everything is just a name and just a label. Arkansas is humid every d...

I Am Become Wenz: April 2007

http://shinybitterpeople.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html

Thursday, April 26, 2007. I made two trailers for "Carraway Lane," the "hit" movie. One uses the theme from the Dario Argento movie "Profondo Rosso" ("Deep Red") by Goblin; the other uses a library score. Although I love, love, love Dario Argento and Goblin, the library score synchs up really unintentionally well. At least I think so. But it's all just prologue. This summer, I will be working on two very amateurish films - "I, Death Bot," and . (drum roll) . Carraway Lane II: Twilight of the Elastic Dead.

I Am Become Wenz: HADRON is our death

http://shinybitterpeople.blogspot.com/2009/05/hadron-is-our-death.html

Tuesday, May 05, 2009. HADRON is our death. In other news, I attended a great HacDC. Workshop where I got to do my new favorite activity - dick around with oscillators and other electronic noisemakers. The best was one from Ciat Lonbarde. As those who had seen the site before noted, it looks like a UFO conspiracy blog. So go, check that out. This. Was the particular one that we played with, among other (non Lonbarde) devices. And then look at the Jonas Brothers:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

I Am Become Wenz: Prop 8

http://shinybitterpeople.blogspot.com/2009/05/prop-8.html

Wednesday, May 27, 2009. You are going to get sick of Prop 8 blog posts. They are going to make you want to run far, far away from the Internet. I mean, c'mon, teh gayz marrying? What's next, gay divorce? That will threaten the divorce of every other American! Or maybe marriage is absolutely nobody's business. What is marriage? Why do we cling to the tenets of it so much? Is it not a more logical solution to ban marriage entirely as a public institution? It'll take the pressure off society. I had a littl...

I Am Become Wenz: January 2006

http://shinybitterpeople.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html

Saturday, January 21, 2006. Squid and the Whale. After waiting, waiting, waiting, then throwing in the towel, giving up and saying "fuck it, I'll wait til March for the DVD" a miracle happened - my local theatre monopoly. Finally brought in The Squid and the Whale. The movie is essentially the story of a marital dissolution. Director Baumbach has already worked his way through this - sort of, barely, or at least touched the surface of it - in Kicking and Screaming. Saturday, January 07, 2006. As I watche...

I Am Become Wenz: The Pregnancy Comedy Non-Issue

http://shinybitterpeople.blogspot.com/2009/06/pregnancy-comedy-non-issue.html

Tuesday, June 09, 2009. The Pregnancy Comedy Non-Issue. So, pregnancy comedies are the new thing. They're cool, they're hip. Fuck, professional blowhard Dave Eggers even wrote one with his wife called "Away We Go." I saw it last night. Considering his involvement, it wasn't that bad. Certainly better than "Juno," but it also was about 30-somethings instead of a teen girl with bullshit slang. But when "Juno" came out, the Internet was alight, much as it was with "Knocked Up." What's that? Wow, that was si...

I Am Become Wenz: October 2006

http://shinybitterpeople.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html

Wednesday, October 18, 2006. 24 Hour Comic Day. I occasionally like to work under the pretense that I have artistic talent. This is only remotely true, at least in my head. I took art lessons as a kid, and was fairly prodigious at the time, but anymore, I hate half the things I draw. But this is a digression. Recently, I felt well enough about my meager talents to participate in the Lincoln Edition of 24 Hour Comic Book Day. One of the few true theory books about comics. This. In Lincoln at 8 am, and got...
