Saw 1.5 episodes (saw all of ep 1, but came in on the 2nd half of episode 2, will have to watch all of it later) of this new HBO show - pretty good (i'll watch pretty much anything that's half decent & shows NYC a lot :) Here's a 10 min. video about the making of the show:   - S ::  :: ADVERTISEMENT Alfonse Maiorino - Italian Genealogy, Public Strategy Group, & more! - http://alfonsemaiorino1.blogspot.com/ Blogger: User Profile: alfonse maiorino http://www.blogger.com/profile/01850766319936497029 Alfonse Maiorino / Al Maiorino blog -  almaiorino .blogspot.com/ Alfonse Maiorino - Linkedin http://almaiorino.blogspot.com/2012/04/al-maiorino-linkedin.html New Projects COMING SOON at: Alfonse Maiorino blog 2 http://alfonsemaiorino2.blogspot.com/2012/04/blogger-user-profile-alfonse-maiorino.html Alfonse Maiorino blog 3 http://alfonsemaiorino3.blogspot.com/2012/04/blogger-user-profile-alfonse-maiorino.html Alfonse Maiorino blog 4 http:/

Saw The Hurt Locker & The Great Raid tonight. Locker was like a weird art movie, except set in "Iraq" (maybe it was because I knew that it was shot somewhere in the US - I believe - that the environment in the movie did not "feel" like Iraq - not that I've been there, but just from watching other movies & TV shows & news), and pretty much all I learned from watching the movie is that bomb disposal is difficult & deadly work (which I knew already). There was really no plot to the movie - it was like a mumblecore war movie - except with even less of a plot than most mumblecore movies. Basically you see soldiers at war & off duty, and you get to see - in some detail - the challenges encountered by battlefield bomb disposal units - but there wasn't any story - just a few characters & a situation. But a lot of people are really into the movie, and it's nominated for an Oscar or two I believe, so, I guess Locker was just not for m

Why do I think Smith will or should highlight what is, at best, horrible customer service by Southwest Airlines recently in one of his future movies? Because the attention may cause Southwest to keep an eye on their customer service practices. Because only one out of many unhappy customers or clients will speak up against a business or a government agency and when that one person finally does speak up the misbehaving or allegedly misbehaving entity usually (hopefully) reviews their policies & may end up, at least for a while, putting a new focus on providing better customer service - which may benefit many people. Now, a wealthy (right?) & famous (somewhat? at least in the indie world) movie director being inconvenienced & made to feel bad about himself is definitely not a good thing, but this Southwest vs. Smith episode makes me think of a recent, somewhat similar incident I witnessed - and was somewhat a part of - re: a NYC Medicaid office vs. a poor woman - so now is

In a couple of weeks it will be March; warmer weather, more sunlight, & time to break out the cameras & start shooting outdoors. This March I am looking forward to completing Brooklyn Fantastic (working on script for story 2 now, story 1 was filmed in early '09). And before that, this month, after I get a whole bunch of day job work done, Date Number One & Indie Film Blogger Road Trip on DVD. And in March I need to release Unlimited Dreamtime . That's the near future forecast for Wild Diner Films . Be back in a week or so with some goodies. Oh, and happy Valentines Day for all you romantics - in celebration here's some video from Holloween '09 NYC ('cause Holloween is a more visually interesting semi-holiday than Valentines, & no doubt some romantic action happens on Halloween too): :: :: ADVERTISEMENT Alfonse Maiorino - Italian Genealogy, Public Strategy Group, & more! - http://alfonsemaiorino1.blogspot.com/ Blogger: User Profile
