Henry Poole: You sound like a fortune cookie.
Esparanza: [laughs] Cookies can’t talk.
Henry Poole is Here
AMC Stony Brook - August 21, 2008
By now, my love of independent film should be apparent to the Orgconfuz audience, based on the variety of reviews ventured on thus far. May it never be said that I did not give a fair shot to the poor yet earnest filmmakers of this world. The plight of the independent filmmaker is a noble one, an uphill battle the whole way. Getting films produced - particularly in an struggling economy - is hard enough even before it graces the big screen. And for that I applaud you. May Hollywood continue to take a chance on the underdog!

August 19, 2008 at 9:00 pm | In DVD, movies, music, orgconfuz, tv shows | No CommentsThe time has come to expand the Orgconfuz Family…Introducing the Incomparable Turtle!
Jon/Jack/Turtle has been added as an Author to Organized Confusion and will now be contributing movie and TV reviews! Turtle and I have been friends for a long time, and I trust that his reviews will not only be informative, but entertaining!! He has graciously included me in Friday Movie Night, an unbreakable tradition between he and another friend, Brian. Many of the films referenced at the AMC Stony Brook Theater have been included on the Organized Confusion roster as a result of this precious time together. 
As far as a personal bio, I’ll leave the details (if any) up to him to share.
He has also expressed interest in dueling reviews between Turtle and myself. Could be an interesting concept. Move over Siskel and Ebert!
Pineapple Express = Stoner Gold
August 17, 2008 at 9:00 am | In movies | No CommentsDale: You’re gonna go off to college soon… and you’re gonna start listening to bands like Godspeed, You Black Emperor! and the Shins… and then you’ll dye your hair black and become a lesbian… and then you’ll dump me… so go ahead and have fun!
Pineapple Express
AMC Stony Brook - August 15, 2008
Seth Rogen has become the next go-to funny guy of Hollywood. It seems that instead of succumbing to typecasting, he has decided to embrace his personality and make films that he himself would want to see. After all, he and his writing partner Evan Goldberg are responsible for the teen comedy hit, Superbad. Bringing their experiences with “certain extra-curricular activities” in a fictitious yet hilarious odyssey was enjoyable, but also challenging. As quoted in a recent interview, “Pineapple Express is the highest budget stoner comedy ever made, but it’s also the lowest budget action movie ever made.”

The Freak Power Base (GONZO: The Life and Work of Hunter S. Thompson)
August 13, 2008 at 9:00 pm | In movies | No CommentsHunter S. Thompson: I’d like 3 margaritas and 6 beers.
Waitress: Are you expecting additional parties, sir?
Hunter S. Thompson: Well, you can find out what the people next to me want, but I want 3 margaritas and 6 beers.
Gonzo: The Life and Work of Hunter S. Thompson
Cinema Arts Centre - August 3, 2008
Unfortunately, I have come to realize how rare it is that I venture on a film documentary or as the industry deems it, a “bio pic”. Not the biggest fan of PBS or the History Channel, I tend to focus more on fiction rather than fact, for no particular reason really. So when I come across a subject of interest - like a crazy but brilliant writer like Hunter S. Thompson - the opportunity to learn perks up and this review is the result. Now, it would be nice to think that this may turn into a 9th grade book report on Hunter’s life and work, but that’s what the movie is all about. That and the many shocked and inspired reactions that come from witnessing a life lived beyond the edge.

The Animation Show
IFC Center, NYCÂ - August 10, 2008
Year Four of the Animation Show! This will be a short review as I doubt many will have seen it (or will be able to see it based on limited runs). The Animation Show website has all the information on each animated short featured in the 2008 (and all previous years) programs. There is also a Wiki dedicated to the Animation Show.

Justin Survived the Japanese Game Show, MAJIDE!
August 6, 2008 at 9:00 am | In tv shows | 1 CommentA quick follow-up to my I Survived a Japanese Game Show Review to congratulate Justin Wood for winning the competition. Truthfully, my money was on Donnell to win as he was a very worthy competitor. Interesting as I saw no further announcements of this win on any of the daytime talk shows today. Not even ABC’s Live with Regis and Kelly or Good Morning America… You would think that the TV station would want to promote the winner of this great show, even just to wrap-up the season. Hmmm, does that indicate lack of popularity or no second season in the works?? That would be a shame.

The Organized Confusion Playlist
August 3, 2008 at 9:00 pm | In music, orgconfuz | No CommentsOrganized Confusion has long awaited the opportunity to include music alongside its many film reviews for the past 6 months. (Wow, has it been that long already??) By poking around the internet, I was able to find a free way to include mp3’s on the site! Yay!
To celebrate this, a glass of champagne has been raised to the inaugural Orgconfuz podcast celebrating the first of many entitled The Organized Confusion Playlist. Click the link below and bookmark for future reference.
http://www.orgconfuzmusic.wordpress.com
Also a quick reminder to friend Organized Confusion on Myspace to receive bulletins on post updates for both blogs, as well as an image archive and see other Orgconfuz readers! I may even be able to stream the podcast straight from Myspace. (Haven’t figured that one out yet, so all advice is appreciated.)
Since schedules have eluded me recently, the weekly post structure has yet to be set. So maybe we shall just play things by ear to start out with… The goal is for a weekly update of some kind, so please stay tuned!
