I’ve recently moved out of LA and back to my hometown of bright and sunny (hot) Bakersfield CA. Only two hours north of LA but an entirely different world. Dating in a small town is extremely different from LA. In LA, being single at any age is pretty normal. You’re playing the field…You’re working on yourself…You’re focusing on your career…You’re gay. I was actually doing none of those things but still, there wasn’t much judgement....
As we’re all sitting in our homes watching Netflix and downloading porn … uhh…I mean Zoom, we’ve been hit with memes and videos all surrounding the craziness that is Corona/COVID-19. I finally decided to take a break from the news reports and group texts spouting conspiracy theories and went to my happy place, YouTube. The usual “suggested” videos came up: Drag Queens Being Fierce, Ryan Gosling Shirtless, and Bill Hader SNL Sketches. After watching the sex scene from The Notebook...
When I was around 11 years old I accidentally learned how to masturbate. I don’t remember how exactly but I know I was on the armchair of my mom’s floral couch. I was pretending I was sitting on Leonardo DiCaprio’s lap and making out with him. Titanic had just come out and he was one of my first obsessions. I had crushes before, but Leo was different. I ached for him. I would watch his...
I’ve never been a big fan of Horror films yet I have no hate for them; I think they do have a substantial place in cinema. I just never rush to watch them. I try and watch the ‘good’ ones. I’ve seen the Nightmare on Elm Street and Evil Dead’s. The Exorcist and The Omen’s. The Cabin Fever’s and Cabin in the Woods’s. However, for the most part I tend to steer clear of them. Some people like to...
In preparation for Avengers: Endgame I re-watched all the Marvel movies back to back. I had seen most all of them in theaters. A couple sequels slipped by me here and there but for the most part I was the nerd who saw them Friday/opening weekend so nothing would be spoiled for me. Full disclosure, I had never read any of the comics, but I went with friends who had and after every movie I...
Let me first start off by saying I know we shouldn’t rate women or people. It’s sexist and needs to fade away. We shouldn’t compare ourselves to one another physically. Beauty is on the inside. Blah, fucking, blah, blah. I do wholeheartedly believe in this sentiment but, alas, I compare myself to other women constantly. I can’t help it. I don’t want to, I don’t like to admit it, but I do. If I see...
When writing a script, location is one of the first items a writer thinks about. Doesn’t matter the budget or genre, location is always key. Do I want this scene in a hotel room? A mountain? Are my characters in a small town or a big city? The location of a film can be used as a great device for an audience to get know the characters, it can even help with the plot. It...
