Rodriguez was early to embrace the use of HD cameras (introduced to him
by George Lucas) and hence free up the cumbersome process of
filmmaking. His productivity spurred other directors into inquiring
what he was doing and he mentioned he was enjoying making films again
because of HD.
So speaking of gorgeous women, you would have enjoyed the little
scenario yesterday while chatting with friends on the patio at the
downtown Starbucks. A little after the noon hour and group of young
folks moved in and lined up the tables to eat a lunch brought from Panda
Express. First off, the closest Panda Express is a good 8 miles away so
that was odd.
Then this drop dead gorgeous, movie star quality, young blond comes to
our table to ask if we were using the extra chair which she took and to
sit at the table with the lunch group. My friend, who has taught
students from all over the world, asked about her accent. I told it
sounded south American, possibly even Brazilian. I have played in bands
with South American performers so got used to hearing such accents.
Anyway I could hear their conversations and it seemed that they were
probably from a film shoot. And that is not unusual for this area. We
have a number of kids who go to college, often in Los Angeles, to become
filmmakers and return here to shoot their student films. This may have
been the case.
And speaking of film, thanks for reminding me about "Blue Jasmine" which
I rented on DVD but did note that Sony Pictures is the distributor (so
it might actually appear soon on Netflix WI) and in HD (the DVD quality
wasn't the best). What was fun was seeing all the locations right here
in the Bay Area and recalled the news stories about the shoot.

... The first, co-directed by Frank Miller again, is "Sin City 2: A
Dame To Kill For," starring Eva Green, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Eva
Green, Juno Temple, Eva Green, Josh Brolin, Eva Green, Jessica Alba,
Eva Green, Bruce Willis, Eva Green, Rosario Dawson, Eva Green, Mickey
Rourke, and Eva Green is a must-see for what should be obvious
reasons. Most gorgeous woman in the world directed by one of my fave
directors...what is not to like?
