one last thing before I quit

Last week my favorite art gallery of choice had my favorite yearly exhibit hosted by my favorite movie director. Yep that's right, the now legendary Crazy 4 Cult show took place. And in traditional fashion, there were a ton of pieces that I love and shall share.

In 2008, I was blessed to see a god on stage. I am fortunate enough to get the chance to see him once again. Neil Young is coming home in July to play back-to-back gigs at the wonderfully fitting Centennial Concert Hall.



I am unbelievably stoked for this show. After seeing him in '08, I never again imagined that he'd make it back to Winnipeg. There's too many words that can be used to describe Young and his imprint in music and politics. He's fought through polio, diabetes, epilepsy and divorce. He's compiled 46 studio albums, 6 live albums, 43 singles and has even directed 5 movies. I'm forever grateful that I've been able to share in part of his 5 decade shining career.

These couple of videos are from his Heart of Gold DVD. Without a doubt, this is the best concert DVD that I have ever seen. It's truly a showcase into his heart. I could no recommend enough for everyone to watch the whole concert.

I don't quite know how you'd describe JJ Abrams these days. I'm one of those mass amounts of people that believe he can do no wrong. I seem him as an adult geek that tries to always treat his audience as a very intelligent breed, and I appreciate it.

Even though his beloved Lost officially wraps in a a mere couple weeks, we'll continue to see his name everywhere. He has a new TV series that NBC picked up. It's called Undercovers, and it follows a married couple of retired FBI agents that have to go back to the job. I'm not quite sold yet.

But his other new pet, is a movie called Super 8. There was a teaser that came out during the previews of Iron Man 2 this weekend. It's the same sort of release that he did with Cloverfield a few years back. I've watched it a few times now, and I'm sure we all can't stop thinking about how this looks like it'll be a Cloverfield sequel. Little is known about Super 8. Abrams won't leak any info and he's just letting the buzz grow and grow. But the one thing that he has stated is that Super 8 is NOT a sequel to Cloverfield. He has not denied it being a prequel though... Start the countdown to 2011.

Just watched Clerks again. I honestly don't know how many times I've watched it. I don't think that there will ever be a movie that gives me as much hope and acceptance to make my own. Friends as your cast. Hockey sticks as boom mics. General nonsense, yet intelligent banter. Cheers to one of the most stolen VHS movies in the US.

Jeff Anderson is not a name that will ring many bells. He's 40, from New Jersey and has appeared in only a handful of movies. But when I simply say that he plays Randal Graves, you'd better know who I'm talking about.

A little while Jeff met a man named Devin in a bar and they became friendly with each other. Not that kind of friendly. They bumped into each other again a few weeks later and had some good laughs. A while later, days or weeks, I'm not too sure, Devin was killed while sleeping in his bed as a tree crashed through his family's home.

Jeff learned about this shortly after the accident. He decided to try and help using his fame in the cult-movie industry. He made an offer to everyone, donate a minimum of $10 to a fund to help the family rebuild, and he'll send you a signed page from his Clerks II script. The minute I head of this, I jumped on-board. Not only can I help a family, but also get a thank you in the form of an authentic piece one of my favorite directors' movies. I waited many weeks, thinking that maybe I was too late, as there were only 103 pages in the script. Or maybe he just wasn't going to spend the extra money for international stamps to send a piece of paper to Canada.

But hell froze over and I got my gem!Pages 46 & 47 from a real on-set Clerks II script. Signed by Jeff Anderson. Awesome. I also have my name, amongst other things, in the credits of the movie. Unbelievable.
