Collaboration
Creative Genius Spike Jonze (Where the Wild Things Are, Adaptation, Being John Malkovich, former husband of Sofia Coppola and director of every cool music video you can think of) has directed a 10 to 15 minute short film inspired by Kanye West song See You In My Nightmares.Kanye and Spike previously collaborated for the music video of Flashing Lights.
MTV breaksdown the short film which will be released on iTunes on September 8th.
"In the film 'Ye plays a drunk, belligerent and boastful version of himself at a club, where he keeps informing fellow clubgoers that the song playing over the speakers is his. He then wanders into an adjacent room, starts having sex with a woman and passes out on her, only to come to in a VIP room where he is getting amorous with a pillow. He's so disturbed by the scene that he runs to the bathroom and vomits rose petals, cuts his belly open with a bowie knife, which produces more rose petals, and then rips out a little furry demon that is living in his guts, who then is handed his own miniature bowie knife so he can commit suicide.
The movie will feature a remixed version of "Nightmares" worked over by N.A.S.A, which features Jonze's brother, known as Squeak E. Clean (a.k.a. Sam Spiegel). The Swarm described the film, written by Jonze, as walking the "fine line between aggrandizement and self-mockery that runs through all of Kanye's endeavors." The cinematography and sound design is reportedly such that it "authentically renders that feeling of being really disoriented in a nightclub.""

Rest in Peace John Hughes
Filmmaker John Hughes died today, August 6, 2009, at age 59.
Hughes created some of the most influential movies in my life. He wrote, directed and produced Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Planes Trains & Automobiles, and Uncle Buck, as well as writing Home Alone.
Hughes lived the last 20 years of his life in mystery (a la J.D. Salinger). Retiring to an easy life in the midwest. He has been noted as a huge inspiration by filmmakers Wes Andersen and Kevin Smith.
Rest in Peace.
Hughes died of a heart attack in Manhattan during a morning walk, according to the Associated Press.
"What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal."

Avatar
Avatar, James Cameron's first narrative direction since Titanic, is coming out December 18, 2009. This 3-D Science-Fiction Fantasy film is reported to have had a filming budget over $240 million. There is plenty of information online about the plot, how the movie was filmed and actors starring in, but I'm going to recommend to all to appreciate the mystique of the poster and to wait for August 21 when the trailer will be released.
Cameron also directed The Terminator, Aliens, The Abyss, Terminator 2: Judgement Day and True Lies.

When's the Last Time...
...you were this excited for a movie?I remember exactly where I was when I first saw this trailer, Corpus Christi, Texas on spring break.
Even after getting out of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (a great movie) all I could talk about was how great the Lord of the Rings was going to be.
