More Fetusi

Just a brief entry.

The semifinal cut of the Fetus Joe movie is up online at Sam's Web site. The clip he's waiting on is of me, so I need to get off my ass and do it. If anyone knows someone with a video camera in NYC and a tripod, send them my way!

Fetus Joe vs. the World!

Rumor has is John Williams is signed on to do the soundtrack.

Fetus Joe in 3 D

I know I've been conspicuously absent from this blog for the last month or so, which sucks for the two people out there still reading this thing. Sorry, but as it turns out, there's actually a lot of work that goes into school. Something along the lines of three or four hundred pages of reading a week, not counting the stories I read for my workshop.

That's not to say I'd rather be back doing nothing at a desk all day...not a bit. I'm just a little bit tapped, is all. If I'm being honest, I'm starting to question whether I belong here, really, as a writer or as a person. Which is silly, but is something that weighs on me.

Enough of that. While I've been staring at my screens and wondering if anything I write is actually any good, Sam has been working on the Fetus Joe movie, which is undeniably good. He's got some hack on to write voice over narration for a good deal of it. Some kind of stream of consciousness bullshit...who knows what these Hollywood desk-jockeys write about these days? Anyway, the rough cut is up at Sam's blog, and rumor has it, there's footage out there of an exploding cat. Here's the rough cut. The aspect ratio's wrong, but I'm pretty impressed by the fact that he got the rubber fetus puppet to defy gravity like that. Also that he made a rubber fetus puppet...that's a skill you can take to the bank. Or David Cronenberg. One or the other.
