OR LACK THEREOF

SO, MARAL WAS SITTING IN THE AISLE OF EMERGENCY EXIT ROW… THE GUY NEAR THE WINDOW WASN’T LISTENING TO THE ATTENDANT’S INSTRUCTIONS.. MARAL WAS CONCERNED.. SHOULD SHE SPEAK UP??  SHOULD SHE NUDGE THE GUY TO PAY ATTENTION OR TELL THE ATTENDANT..”I DON’T FEEL CONFIDENT THAT THIS MAN CAN GET US OUT OF HERE SAFELY!”

MARLA.  SAID NOTHING!  WHAT A DOOF.  I WOULD HAVE KICKED THE GUY AND SAID “HEY, SORRY JERK, BUT I THINK YOU SHOULD BE LISTENING CAUSE IF WE GO DOWN IT’S ON YOU!”

YUP.

OR I WOULD JUST ASK THE ATTENDANT TO BE MOVED.. I CAN’T BE WITH THIS GUY.  IN FACT, I THINK YOU SHOULD GET HIM OFF THE PLANE!!  HE’LL. KILL. US. ALL.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRING.

I LIIKE CARAMEL.  CARMAL? CA?

SHOULD WE APPLAUD BEFORE OR AFTER THE FILM?  WHAT IF I APPLAUD BEFORE, BUT THEN REALLY H.A.T.E. THE FILM? I CAN’T TAKE IT BACK.  I’VE MADE THE COMMITMENT!!!!

OOPS

WHY APPLAUD YUP.

WHY APPLAUDJ IF THE DIRECTOR’S NOT HERE? WHY APPLAUD FOR NO ONE?  IS IT FOR THE OTHERS IN THE AUDIENCE? MAYBE IT’S FOR THE HUNGOVER PROJECTIONISTS.. THEY SHOULD APPLAUD THE PROJECTIONISTS.. BETTER YET, MAKE THESE “ARTISTS” DIRETY THEIR HANDS  ME TOO.

AND PROJECT THE DAMN FILMS THEMSELVES.

IS THERE AN EROTIC CAKE SHOP IN OTTAWA?  CAN THEY MAKE ME A CAKE SHAPED LIKE A PENIS?  IF I ATE A PENIS, WOULD THAT MAKE ME GAY?

Hey kids,

So the Pimp publishers asked me to do a sort of daily blog from this year’s Ottawa International Animation Festival.
It’s Saturday, Sept 15. I’m at home with a stuffy nose, remnants of the flu, taking care of young Harry. I feel like crap. The Festival is a weird space for me. My ‘festival’ time is May-July when I’m doing selection. Then things really quiet down for me until festival time when I ‘appear’ and do media interviews, become the ‘face’ of the fest. etc. So I stroll in real casual while the rest of the staff are in crazy mode. These days Kelly (wife/Managing Director) doesnt come home till 11-12 at night.

Anyway, yeah, today. Kelly and Jarvis (eldest son, age 9) have headed to the office to do the delegate bag stuffing with the volunteers. Me? I’m gonna take the vomiting dog to the vet and see what’s up with her. Then I suspect Harry and I will bus it to the office to see what’s going on.

I watched Spidey 3 last night with the kids. Enjoyed it. Nice theme about taking responsibility for your life and choices. PEter could easily have been bad but CHOOSE in the end to be good. I think that’s an important theme. We all have good and evil within us. We make the choice to go one route or the other.

That’s about it. I’m glad I’m sick now. Usually it happens during/after the festival. I aint got time to be sick. Got stuff to do.

Hey, I might do my Opening Speech online live. Sit at the front and type what I say immediately. Or not.
more when I feel like it.
