I graduated from USC film school. I learned a lot about all aspects of filmmaking, made 9 movies which could be used as calling cards, and made friends who would be connections for the rest of my life. Every job I got in the industry in the first couple of years came as a result of connections I made at USC. I also left with a college degree.
That said, about half the people I went to film school with never really made it at all in the business.
I don't think I would recommend this new York film academy. You will pay nearly as much as college, and you won't get a degree. And Deb is right, working your way up from an intern can be a very good way to get into the business as well.

Is he pointing in 3 directions in the 4th picture?
:embarrassed:
Did I just say that?

I actually say this from time to time:
"That's part of your problem: you haven't seen enough movies. All of life's riddles are answered in the movies." Davis (Steve Martin)
Grand Canyon
Not the right scene or character but it was the only one I could find

There are a couple of us who live close enough. Topanga is part of the greater Los Angeles area. I would love to go, but with my schedule it probably isn't realistic.

FYI Kate Mulgrew is back. Not this week, but she has a small scene in the episode which airs a week from wedsnesday.

I couldn't believe they had Neil Diamond in blackface for the Jazz Singer in 1980, nearly 30 years ago!!
And don't get me started about Whoopie and her remarks about Polanski. I have always been a fan of Polanski the filmmaker, but I have been ashamed of my industry and the remarks they have made about Polanski the man.

Kate, I haven't heard about any of these things. And they just sound like some individuals being stupid. I'm sure the world is not in an uproar about Australia.
#359 Re: All About Chris » 6 Degrees of Chris » 13 Oct 09 :: 07:15
This is pitiful. The only movie I can specifically remember him in is Whitnail & I and I can't remember anyone else in that movie.
#360 Re: Off Topic Stuff » Randomness » 13 Oct 09 :: 07:13

#361 Re: All About Chris » 6 Degrees of Chris » 10 Oct 09 :: 22:03
The Three Stooges were in It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (that is what I was thinking of)which would have sped it up a bit

At least you won't have to deal with the awkward situation with the guy's job.
#363 Re: Square Eyes » Mercy » 09 Oct 09 :: 08:02
Yes! Yes! Yes! I just heard we won the hour in the ratings this week, and our audience is growing.
#364 Re: Square Eyes » Mercy » 08 Oct 09 :: 04:57
Yeah, the last scene was really good.
#365 Re: Square Eyes » Mercy » 07 Oct 09 :: 22:05
She was in the first 2 episodes and she was pretty funny. I haven't seen her in any more episodes (although I am only on episode 4 right now) but I assume it will be a recurring character.
#366 Re: All About Chris » 6 Degrees of Chris » 07 Oct 09 :: 20:11
True, but it was always the 3rd stooge who changed.

#369 Re: Square Eyes » favorite crappy movies » 06 Oct 09 :: 08:12
Okay, Here are a few(I think low expectations may have something to do with why I like most of these)
A Cinderella Story (yes the Hilary Duff movie)
Dirty Work (the norm Mcdonald movie makes me laugh every time)
Not Another Teen Movie (make me Laugh)
Let It Ride (Quirky race track movie, not sure why I like it, but I do)
King Creole(it's here because it's an Elvis movie, but I think it really is a good movie and it was directed by Micheal Curtiz)
#370 Re: Square Eyes » favorite crappy movies » 06 Oct 09 :: 04:18
I saw Grizzly also when it came out. It was stupid enough to be enjoyable.
For me there are the obvious ones like Plan 9 From Outer Space, Glen or Glenda and Robot Monster that are so terrible that they are funny. For me the tougher question is the movies you know are bad, but that work for you anyway. There are some, I just have to remember them.

#372 Re: Square Eyes » In Praise of Chris's Colleagues » 01 Oct 09 :: 23:40
Agreed, but that was after Time after Time
#373 Re: Square Eyes » In Praise of Chris's Colleagues » 01 Oct 09 :: 20:31
I must be even older because I go back one film to Goin South, a dreadful movie, but she was fanatastic. That is the main reason I went to see Time after Time, where she was even better.

No problem Teejay. As I said, I don't write them. I just hope it finds it's audience, and lasts.
