Cigarette Burn Pictures

I could speak much longer on the subject of this film, but it's better to keep it short and sweet. Therefore here are a few other (short) thoughts and tidbits regarding this film.

The opening includes a slight reference to the Dark Tower Series of books by Stephen King.

The idea for this short came to me one night while my girlfriend and I were getting ready for bed. It came to me in pieces and after a few minutes I bounced a few ideas off of her and said, “What do you think?” She said, “Yeah, that could work.” We tossed a few more ideas around and I wrote up a preliminary “treatment”, so to speak, in one of my many writing journals strune about my apartment.

These past several weeks have been quite stressful for me.  Between two beautiful wedding ceremonies (Congratulations Geoff, Amber, Sis and Rick!), my day job (10 hours a day is a common occurrence), looking for a new place to live (Finally got one!) and the news of attending the Philadelphia Filmathon, I've been worn down to a bloody nub.

After a year of Film Noir Classes and writing several papers on the subject, I finally get to put into words my feelings on the film Brick (2006) Dir. Rian Johnson.
