Why Milliennials Won’t Get A Cold War...

Why Milliennials Won’t Get A Cold War

Recently over a long holiday weekend, I had the opportunity to see Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy the movie, an adaptation of the now famous John Le Carré (nom de plume of David John Moore Cornwell) novel – part of a series that focuses on character George Smiley. Gary Oldham is in an Oscar-worthy role as George Smiley and is the number 2 in command to Control, played brilliantly by John Hurt.  While I strongly recommend this very character-driven movie, I realize that it is not for everyone. Especially if you are into blow-em-up Hollywood blockbusters – this one is meant for those bookish types who prefer politics and intrigue to titillation and special effects.

Guilty Pleasures

Last night I read a great tweet…”I’m not watching the Oscars – I’m watching Twitter watch the Oscars.” – @ChrisPirillo#Oscars.  It came from Social Media Insider and I thought, “yup…that’s    about right.” I just got a smart phone, thank you, and am finding my way around Twitter, Facebook and other social media that I use.  Watching the Oscars was the first time I tried my had at Tweeting an event while it was happening.  I received tweets from Toby, Jen Bonet, Liz Straus and other tweety-birds. My phone-typing skills are still not great so I want to take a moment to give you my take, as a filmmaker, on the Oscars.  First of all, I love award shows.  I sit and put on my best Joan Rivers dis of the fashions, listen to inside...
