Forgive the Ben Folds reference. I don't have a specific topic to discuss. But I have been neglecting this blog thing. So I thought I would type up something witty and interesting. Forgive me if I bore you to tears. If details of my life bore you, please go to www.ihasabucket.com instead.
So I went for a walk this afternoon over to the local coffee shop (not Starbucks) and did a little reading. It was very enjoyable. It's so easy in this city of Lost Angels to simply drive everywhere and forget the joys of a nice leisurely stroll.
I've been reading the new edition of Jeffrey Gitomer's Sales Bible. He's a pretty good writer and all of his advice comes from years of experience as a sales person. It's good, practical advice coming from someone who knows what they are talking about. Not everything in his books are applicable to the film sales industry. But overall, it's pretty helpful.
I also went and saw a couple of movies: The Fall, which I unexpectedly enjoyed, and The Forbidden Kingdom, which I didn't enjoy as much. I felt that The Forbidden Kingdom seemed like a watered down version of the old Kung Fu movies made for a Western audience. It didn't seem to work for me. Mostly because I felt that the motivation for the main character was really lacking. However, The Fall I really enjoyed. I'm about 50/50 when it comes to what they call art films. Art for art's sake really bores me. But this film had a wonderful feel to it. Plus, I enjoyed that it had a sense of humor despite the dark subject matter of the film. It's certainly a lot better than his first film The Cell, which was visually stunning but severely lacking in plot development.
Okay, enough of my dimestore film reviews. Back to playing some 'City of Heroes'.
