Ephemera 2
- Over the past two months I've shocked a handful of people by casually mentioning that, excepting Home Alone and its sequel, I've never seen any John Hughes movies. Jaws literally dropped, without fail, when I'd make this pronouncement. A trip to the video store and a marathon viewing session in Park City was organized by several highly concerned individuals, but I wound up being too busy to partake. I don't know why I've never seen them; I just haven't. They're on that list of pop cultural necessities that, through a combination of age, lack of television and older siblings and general bad timing, I've entirely missed out on, like The Goonies and Jaws.
- Last night, as tornado sirens blared around us, I watched Clay's first pass at the color-corrected version of St. Nick. It looks pretty gorgeous. This evening I stopped by Jeff's studio to check in on the sound mix. So far so good; I can't wait to hear where it's at in two weeks. In spite of the film's incomplete state, I mailed off seven screeners to select members of the press today. Hopefully this wasn't premature on my part; I'm trying to be smart about this, and I'm pretty sure the film's rough edges aren't going to put it in the red; but it was a little bit scary all the same to seal those DVDs up and drop them in the mailbox. Here goes nothing.
- Today is my friend Alexi Wasser's birthday, which reminds me that I've been meaning to link to her blog, Boy Crazy, which I've become an ardent fan of. Mainly because I imagine her reading every post out loud, and that just makes me laugh a lot.

Nope. I've been sorta waiting to see it on the big screen. That and Lawrence Of Arabia. That's my excuse, at least...
