Rogue Cinema & Stuffs
So I’m having a problem wherein I keep trying to watch movies, ALL the movies, and my heart just isn’t into it. It’s entirely frustrating. I have more free time now but every time I turn something on, I just can’t seem to get into it no matter how good (or ludicrous) it may be. So as a result, I’ve been either catching up on tv shows on Netflix (Walking Dead, Chuck, that Breaking Bad thing people seem to love) or just not watching anything – I’m in a really big reading mood lately (probably because this is honestly the first time I’ve had a chance for reading in like, 6 months and I’m somewhere a step beyond the “avid” reader type so not being able to read has been just devastating. Yes, that’s melodramatic, I know. ;)). So I dunno, maybe I’ll throw some book reviews up on here at some point. I’m finally reading Doctor Sleep btw – the book I got for my birthday TWO MONTHS ago. I’ve missed blogging though and missed the interaction so I’m trying to blog and read you guys’ blogs as much as I can.
What else? Well, filming on my web series is almost complete. One more day of filming this Sunday and we move into post. I’ve seen some of the footage and it looks good. 🙂 There’s small things of course – I think I’ll have to make it a game when it comes to continuity errors – we tried our hardest but sometimes trees will have leaves and sometimes they will not… 😉 But it does look good and I hope that it actually IS good and I REALLY hope that you guys enjoy it. I just started writing Season 2 as well!
Other than the web series, I’m about to start work on a short film, something dark and artsy and gritty and a whole 2 minutes long, with one of my favorite directors…and I can’t wait. 🙂 Then in January, we start pre-production on the movie version of our updated Hamlet where I’ll be playing Horatio again. And I’m waiting to hear back about one more project. So there’s definitely no lack of work happening here! I love it. 🙂
And other than that, I’ve been sick – really sick. Like rushed to the ER one day kind of sick. I’m okay now, much better, but these issues are going to be ongoing (it’s a combination of a lot of smaller issues – some physical, some more on the emotional health side of things). I’ve got a team of doctors though and am considering switching out some doctors and yeah, am doing what I can to get back to 100% but it definitely affects blogging and movie watching (may be the reason I’m having trouble watching things as of late).
I HAVE watched a lot of stuff I can’t review, lol. I watched the newest Star Trek last night and saw the new Thor on Sunday. Watched Pacific Rim a couple of weeks ago along with This is the End. So yeah, I’ve actually been mainstreaming it more lately (shhhhh! Don’t tell!!! ;-p). Light and fluffy seems to be the way to go at the moment. Ah, well, I’m sure the conflicting movie emotions will get resolved right? Probably just similar to writers’ block.
Anyway, for the moment, here’s this month’s Rogue Cinema offerings. Hopefully you’ll find something you like!

Hope you get to feelin’ better : (
Thanks, E. 🙂 Me too.
Good to hear from you. Hope you feel much better much faster. Can’t wait to see your projects!
I just finished Doctor Sleep last week. Pretty good stuff.
Thanks Bri! And yay!! I’m excited you can’t wait to see them!! 🙂
I’m only about 75 pages in but I’m definitely loving it so far.
The movie watching thing may just be the result of burnout and you might get back into the grove of it in a few months. Some other movies fans I know that watch a lot of movies will go through periods where they get drained from watching so many and have to take a break from it and then after a certain period of ‘abstinence’ they get back into it.
That’s an excellent point. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced movie burnout before – so sad making. 😦 But maybe I just need to spend some time concentrating on the acting and editing my novella and photography (because I’ve been itching to get out with my camera) and then like you said, maybe I’ll get back into it. Thanks!
We are here, whenever you are! Love your blogs, whether they are about movies or your big toe, I’m engrossed whenever I read them, so please continue! Love you much.
Thank you, Mandy Carter! :-* That means so much to me! Love you muchly too. ❤
Reading is always a great comfort to have when you don’t feel like you’re shining as bright as you possibly can. Keep at it though, you’ll be shining at maximum force again in no time 🙂
Aw, thank you. 🙂 I love that term “shining” – I like what it evokes. Much appreciated.
It’s so exciting to read a milestone like that. Great job!
Thanks! 🙂 I’m very excited. I’m trying to enjoy each milestone before getting too involved in reaching the next one – I’m so terrible about that, lol.
The End of the earth…. looks interesting. Japanese?
It’s actually Irish but filmed mostly in Asia and based off, I believe, Chinese tales of a Monkey King. 🙂
maybe this will help when i cant seem to settle down and do the task at hand i take a time out do something else that you enjoy or even something new – one thing is for sure if you try to force it you will only avoid it more -hope this helped
That does help – it’s excellent advice. Thank you, Zoey Lee! 🙂 And thanks for stopping by!
Welcome back around again!! Please get better soon, I want to see these films ASAP! 🙂 🙂
and by ‘film’s i mean your projects that you’re working on. 😀
Awww, thanks, Tom! That is super appreciated!! 🙂
Oooooh, enjoy the reading! I get phases like that where I just want to read, or watch just movies, or just series…
Thanks! I’m about halfway through Doctor Sleep now and LOVING it. 🙂
Oooooooooooh that I really, really want to read. Should go get it sometime! I am so glad to hear that you are enjoying it!
