Re:Episode 7: COMPLICATED MAZES

""good going"...great ending line and good definition of my feelings for this one.I love how I can get lost in the intimacy of the moments and I'm not even distracted by plot. It's really refreshing. I love the growing (at least cinematically and informationally..is that a word?) the relationship between Ron and his coworker and their interactions and "locker room" conversations. And of course, the Ron and Mary stuff just makes me smile. I could watch them interact the entire episode and be happy. At first, I was hooked by the under current of detective plot then driven to be far more fascinated by Ron and Mary's relationship, now I think I'm starting to feel a balance between the two halves of the show. I'm starting to be equally challenged by the detective conversations and the stuff at home. It's a really nice, patient build and I'm looking forward to it coming to a full bloom. "

"Tonight, at midnight, which is technically tomorrow morning...I am premiering the second season of my web show: The Really Cool Show. Its like a fictional Vlog meets reality tv...in the comedic mockumentary style.It's about three friends that decide to embark in a romantic relationship together...and document it all in the world wide web. Season two focus's on the groups struggle to stay online as they are attacked by a web-based censorship group know as The Young Americans Association for the Preservation of Family Values. You can watch the show and read more about it at www.thereallycoolshow.com In season one, we were inventing the characters, as we went, and putting them in different situations and just playing around, season two is way more plot driven but with the same silly characters and a few new friends. The Show is completely improvised and began production using just a macbook webcam and now we are shooting on a sony hdv camera.Check out the show. It's silly, ... "

"First, I love Michel Gondry...He makes amazing movies and both Eternal Sunshine and Science of sleep, are on my top five favorite films list.Be Kind Rewind has a simple plot. And to me, thats the point. In so many ways, Be Kind is the exact kind of movie that Mike and Jerry would want to remake. It's simple, its silly, and it follows a basic story format...introduction of characters, conflict, resolution.What I I love about it, is that Michel has the unique ability to work so well within the realm of that simplicity...he can take funny characters, a silly situation and spin it around his imagination to pull out a whole magical world.He stretches beyond the story and into the core of creativity..the imagination. He says, within the frame..."make whatever you want, from nothing" and that message, especially in the days of hollywood where movies like "juno" win "best" screenplay...its great to see a director take what hollywood could fuck up and just ...

"This movie was a beautiful trip through the land between dreams and reality. There were times i laughed and times i cried. Mr. Ghondry has the unique talent of making something so imaginitive that it feels real. I love the use of multiple languages, its like well orchestrated music, yet feels so "in the moment" and spontaneous, that I am happy to give in to my imagination.See this Film. Share it with your friends. "
