aaronnevins: The Seagulls and the Sea Will Still Be There Tomorrow A Profile of Aaron Nevins By AARON NEVINS Aaron is sort of incredible at writing funny, considering his age, relative intelligence and height. Here’s an excerpt to get you started. “I always thought it would be cool to have one of those in-depth, magazine-style profiles written about me,” he explained, nursing a decaffeinated Red Bull with a shot of non-alcoholic Vodka. “But I haven’t done anything noteworthy, so there’s been no demand for anybody to write one.” He was beginning to draw stares from other patrons of the bar, primarily due to the fact that he was talking at full volume to himself. “So one day, I just said, ‘Fine, I’ll write a profile about me.’” Read the rest, too.

A Profile of Aaron Nevins

By AARON NEVINS

Aaron is sort of incredible at writing funny, considering his age, relative intelligence and height. Here’s an excerpt to get you started.

“I always thought it would be cool to have one of those in-depth, magazine-style profiles written about me,” he explained, nursing a decaffeinated Red Bull with a shot of non-alcoholic Vodka. “But I haven’t done anything noteworthy, so there’s been no demand for anybody to write one.”

He was beginning to draw stares from other patrons of the bar, primarily due to the fact that he was talking at full volume to himself.

“So one day, I just said, ‘Fine, I’ll write a profile about me.’”

Some news items. My publicist has been working especially hard, so I have some fun things to share. Some clippings for the old scrapbook. Morgan Spurlock started a new company called Warpaint for making TV commercials. It’s somewhat innovative in how it handles its directors, and I’m one of those directors. It’s a separate thing from Sandwich Video, which remains intact. I hope to make an animated booger or anti-depressant commercial at the very least. Today, the new LA Weekly comes out. It’s the People 2012 issue and I’m one of the people. I guess I’d mentioned my deep and abiding love for “Kentucky Fried Movie” and why wouldn’t I, as all facets of my work can be traced to it. I’m working on something superfun right now that’s basically a shot-for-shot reproduction of A Fistful of Yen, but with karate. Shopping for cereal last week, I happened to remember that one called Blueberry Morning had been my favorite, but was absent from store shelves for months. A quick search turned up that it had been discontinued by Post, reason not cited. But I guess you can order discontinued/expired cereal from the Internet, which I did. Here’s what I can say about doing that: don’t order discontinued/expired cereal from the Internet.

fuckyeahdirectors: Ben Kingsley and Martin Scorsese on-set of Hugo (2011) MS: “And then you say these words right here, you’ll be like I USED TO MAKE MOVIES A LONG TIME AGO but say it like you’re sad.” BK: “But I’m not sad, Marty.” MS: “You should pretend you’re sad though. Just say the words like you’re sad. When we press the button on the camera, pretend you’re sad and say these words, just like on this script page. Okay, I’m filming. Okay pretend now.”

Video Arts Took some me-time to watch the John Cleese Creativity Lecture everyone was going bananas about last week and noticed the similarity of his company’s logotype to my logotype, which is unintentional but I don’t mind it at all. Let’s call it homage. Mine was designed by Tag Sexpigeon in 2011 and I love it.

the-overlook-hotel: Steadicam inventor Garrett Brown takes actor Danny Lloyd for a ride on his Steadicam just outside The Shining’s Hedge Maze set on the backlot at MGM Elstree Studios. Brown discovered that Danny was about the same weight as the camera, so he would often have him ride in a makeshift swing hanging from the device.

It brings me great pleasure to have this back in my life. We started it four years ago. Nixon was in the White House. No one knew what “post-PC” meant (I did). Scott was in short pants. Merlin was in short shorts. Woodstock.

But things change. Interest rates fluctuate. We grew apart. Editing is hard.

Long story short, there’s a new guy in town. His name is Claude Zeins but we insist on calling him Klaus, and the boy can edit. Which frees us up in a whole new way to rock the microphone. Which we’ll be doing on a regular basis, even when we’re “not in the mood right now”. The output of which, Klaus will make beautiful and we’ll release to the stream on the 2nd of every month, a strategy we’re marketing under the banner “Dropping it on the Deuce”.

The deuce is nigh, you guys.
