A friend of mine asked me to sit in and take pictures of an interview with Jason Reitman, the director of Juno, Thank You For Smoking, and the new masterpiece, Up in the Air, staring George Clooney, a while back. Becoming giddy like a thirteen year old girl seeing Twilight for the first time, I completely obliged.
When Reitman first walked in, he was wearing courderoy pants, a slouchy sweatshirt, and an old, beat up beenie. Everyone else and I were surprised and completely didn't recognize him at first, but soon realized it was him when we all froze and stopped talking. The whole interview was interesting, all 21 minutes and 10 seconds of it. I found it fascinating that Jason Reitman said he liked to work with characters who aren't usually liked by the majority of the public, and likes to give a personality to people who are mostly disliked. As he put it "I've made three films. The first one's about a head lobbyist for a major tobacco firm, the second one's about a pregnant teenage girl, and the third one's about a guy who fires people for a living...I enjoy humanizing tricky characters."
My picture was featured in the article online and can be viewed on the web page, as well.

Liberation.
First post.
Other than a couple articles for my high school newspaper, what have I really ever written?
Instead of writing about how this is the first post (you should know this already, it's the oldest one of the lot), I'm going to post about something different.
My fascination with the movie, Dakota Skye (2008).
This movie is a must if you loved Juno.
I cannot get the amazing concept out of my head; a beautiful, apathetic, teenage girl with the "superpower" to tell when people are lying. When a person tells a lie, subtitles at the bottom of her vision appear, telling the truth.
My favorite example: Dakota's boyfriend turns over and whispers "I love you". What appears at the bottom of the screen? "I love sex."
The movie is currently on Netflix instant, so go watch!
Currently listening to: "I Found a Reason" by The Velvet Underground.
