I mean, shit – the dude’s been posting up a storm. I abdicate.

But before I do that, a word or two…

My apologies to the pair of school’s I had to reschedule for last week. Not only did I throw my back out shooting an insert for the flick the night after the Stash Bash, but I’ve also quit smoking this week, and detoxing has taken its toll in its usual immune system-crippling fashion. Rest assured, I will make up those dates (as well as make tonight’s appearance at Franklin Pierce).

There was another test screening of the flick last night – this time in Connecticut. I wasn’t there, but Scott was, and he said it went well (though the scores dipped from the last test – normal for a challenging flick that’s not really mass-audience entertainment). This is the locked picture now, clocking in at around 2:07, without credits (of which there is only a backend run). Tomorrow, we head into NYC to hear Howard’s rough score (played by a small ensemble and synthesizers, I’m told), and at month’s end, we head to London to record the score itself. Following that, we’re back at Skywalker for the final mix.

After well over a year, the finish line is finally in sight – and not a moment too soon. You spend this much time with any flick, you start to lose perspective. Scooter and I were just about to hit that wall ourselves – that place where you can’t make heads or tails of the thing anymore. Thankfully, we’ve been granted a stay of execution, and negative is being cut as we speak. Huzzah.

Glad to see everyone enjoyed the event as much as they did. It was a pleasure having you (except whoever dropped the gum on the store carpet, you bastard!). Next event – the ‘Dogma’ sneak, sometime in Sept/Oct.

And that’ll about cover it for now. I’ll turn you back over to the webmaster himself, Jay Mewes.
