John Q. Phats Entertainment

I said there would be some new footage by now.  As you can see there isn’t any.  I lie a lot.  I did write something though that I’m pretty pleased with.
I just got done watching the finale of Dexter.  Ho-ly shit.  Words cannot describe how good it was.  I’m going to bring this up, because I love Jennifer Carpenter, but that scene with her and Michael C. Hall where they are talking was one of many absolutely amazing scenes.  I know I seem to kiss her ass a lot on this blog, but she is fucking phenomenal.  I read a tweet by SHO_Dexter that they should just give John Lithgow the Emmy right now.  They really should.  Everyone who’s seen that show would probably be absolutely fine with that.  OK, I’m going to stop.  I hate the fact that I have to wait so long for a new season.  That ending was an absolute shock.  OK, I’m stopping.  While I could write a whole page just on Jennifer Carpenter, I think this is enough.
It’s tough for me to concentrate after that show but I’ll do my best.  My new script still needs to be revised, but I like it so far.  I’m going to try and commit some time to it every day.  I hold on to projects for way too long.  Or I lose interest or something and start working on something else.  See, I’m OCD and ADD at the same time.  I’m OCD about film making and stuff and I’m obsessed with it.  But my ADD makes it so I constantly get really excited about the next idea.  Only I’m not done with the first idea, so it doesn’t really work.  I need to focus on one project from now on.  Or maybe I just need to write constantly to keep up with myself.  I suppose that couldn’t be a bad thing. 
In other news, Do Nice Guys Finish Last got a fully operational IMDB page:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1561452/
They listed me as a stunt coordinator.  OK, whatever, sure, I’m a stunt coordinator.  It’s also listed as being in Post production.  Nope, it’s done.  Chris is on there and so is Caine.  If you go to my IMDB page, I now have two films listed there.  I’ve hit the big time now people.  It’s all smooth sailing from here.  In all seriousness, it’s kind of cool, but that’s about it.  It does sort of add to my legitimacy though.  I’ve had conversations like this before:
“So, you do short films?”
“Yeah.”
“What kind of short films?”
“Mostly comedies.”
“really?”
“Yeah, I’m on IMDB and everything.”
“O my God!  Really?!”
I don’t know why, but that’s sort of how it is.  Almost like they thought I lied to them or something.  I’m not a liar, it’s bullshit. 
Note: See title of blog.

I entered Censored in to a film festival that makes it IMDB appropriate.  I didn’t realize that I didn’t have to actually be accepted in to the festival, I just had to submit my short film.  So, I get the E-Mail that tells me I can fill out the form to create an IMDB page.  I go to IMDB and start the process of filling this thing out.  It was the most unnecessarily complicated thing in the history of unnecessarily complicated things I’ve ever seen.  First off, every section (even the title) has it’s own guidelines page that’s roughly a page long.  Really IMDB?  Seriously?  We need an entire page explaining how to type in the title?  Are they explaining this from the point of your computer being off or what?
“OK, there should be a big power button on your computer, push it and wait for your computer to load.  Once it’s loaded, open up Internet Explorer, or Firefox, perhaps Opera, any Internet browser will do.  If you’re accessing this site on a cell phone, there may not be a big power button on the front of it.  That’s ok, just load up the browser.”
That’s what I pictured when I first saw it.  I found it hilarious, because if you were reading that, clearly your computer was already on and the browser was already open.  You see what I did there?  Jesus, I’m such a clever bastard.  Anyway, it’s actually rules and regulations behind each section.  It’s somewhat mind numbing.  By the end of it your like
“What the fuck?!  Am I disarming a nuke?!  I just wanted to type in the title!”
It makes you question everything about what you are doing.
“Did I type in the title correctly?  Does it meet all the guidelines?  It looks good.  Can I move on?  Is everything ok?  Where am I?!  What the fuck is going on?!  Who am I?!”
It makes you kind of afraid of the next section.  And when you get something wrong it like highlights it in red.  Which is just as effective as having a person stand there yelling
“You got that wrong you stupid asshole!”
So, after you fill everything out, it gets sent to a representative at IMDB to check over.  So I’ll probably get an E-Mail in 2 weeks regarding all the crap I filled out wrong. 
Currently, I’m waiting for responses from The Action On Film International Film Festival and Woodstock Film Festival.
