What would Larry David do?

About Me

Trying to make my own films (how fucking original), while working freelance to pay the bills. Currently I am pitching a dark romantic comedy, a time travel story, and the greatest zombie film you have never seen. I think you can walk the line between art and selling out.... and I would kill to sell out. I believe comedy is the best way to get out real points about life, and as far as shock value...use it. I made a comedy about coat hanger abortions...need I say more.I may be a neurotic mess but at least I know it."All directors have huge egos, matched only by their huge insecurities." - George LucasHome | Browse | Search | Invite | Film | Mail | Blog | Favorites | Forum | Groups | Events | Videos | Music | Comedy | Classifieds

My Interests

Watching films, making films, talking film (while trying not to be too pretentious), writing, the N.Y. Yankees, playing baseball, sitting around doing nothing, walking around doing nothing, complaining angrily, having long conversations with interesting people, repeating myself over and over again, Sardo's, telling stories, listening to other people bitch, sodomy, mini golf, repeating myself over and over again, being a neurotic mess. All in all I sound great...in that self-deprecating kind of way.

I'd like to meet:

Someone who loves film and loves talking about film. Someone who understands jokes about misogyny. Someone who thinks Annie Hall is a perfect film. Someone who thinks people who talk in the movie theaters should be dragged into the streets and shot like dogs. Someone who appreciates the different interests of others. Someone who thinks Peter Sellers was a genuis. Someone not disturbed by the movie Happiness...and that fact I wish I could have made it. Someone who can make a good pedophillia joke. Someone really neurotic so I don't look like the crazy one all the time.

"Are American audiences always to be coddled by fantasy?"

For the better part of a week now I have wanted to write a blog on my thoughts and feelings about United 93. I doubt I will see a better film this year and I know I will not see a more powerful film....
