Mothers, Mongeese & Techno

July 29, 2009 · Leave a Comment

In the course of the past week, a hand-full of (and by hand-full I mean three) projects have crept into my schedule.

Myself, along with fellow Neptune Theatre Pre-Professional Training Program graduate Sher Clain have been cast in DaPoPo Theatre’s upcoming production of Christopher Hampton’s “When Did You Last See My Mother?” which will run this November at Theatre Nova Scotia (The Space). Steven Bourque will be directing.

On Sunday, I met up with Dan Jardine (director of Scanner) for an expirimental tecnho dance shoot, where we ran around and got sweaty. Hawt. Like I said, it’s an experiment, so he’s messing around with the footage as many ways possible. Stay tuned.

Sean Grady’s bounty-hunter mockumentary “Operation Mongoose.” (produced by cool guy Matt Chisholm) is currently in the final stages of post production. He got me out last week to do a voice over for the minor character of DJ Daryl, which earned me another illustrious IMDb credit, and subsequently up’d my popularity by 311% last week; this week however, I’m down 13%. Horseshit.

Below, is a still frame from “Operation Mongoose.”, I’ll post the trailer when it’s made available.

Quick update, I’ve gotta head into work: yesterday, the best nerd show EVER, Attack of the Show featured TREEVENGE as it’s #1 internet video of the day! Have a look below…

Sadly though, super-nerd-queen Olivia Munn was gone for the day…

I feel like I was on Live with Regis & Kelly and Jerry O’Connell was there instead. Damn you O’Connell…

TREEVENGE Online!

July 13, 2009 · Leave a Comment

The day has finally come! The Sundance Selection TREEVENGE, from Jason Eisener has been released online (via Twitchfilm)! Check out the carnage below.

It’s a big file – and looks rather good full screen – so give it a moment or two to buffer…

Remember, you can get your TREEVENGE goodies over at Pretty Things Boutique (attractive females not included).

Life Management Skills

July 8, 2009 · Leave a Comment

One whole month without an update is downright dispicable! The reasoning behind this is (A) I’ve got nothing going on right now, and (B) I’m not getting off of my ass and creating anything right now.

In the past month, I have moved into a new apartment in North End of Halifax, celebrated my birthday in Montreal, worked too much at the movie theatre, and submerged myself into NHL09 on the Xbox 360.

It has become a problem.

I have always been for the most part a casual gamer (aside from a couple Final Fantasy games), but in recent years, EA Sports’ NHL series has mercilessly been tearing the essence of life straight out of me. I have no idea how many hours I have spent playing this game, but I know the number would surely tarnish my family name.

What I do know is that Glen Matthews, #45 Captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs (which is weird because I hate the Leafs– SPORTZ TALK!) just came off of his best season yet recording 61 goals and 31 assists, capturing the Art Ross Trophy and the Conn Smythe Trophy in the process… and somewhere deep down, I know I’m proud.

My alter ego…

What an a-hole.

So in an attempt to win back my life, I recently bought (for $0.99) the iPod Touch application Total ToDo that allows you to create checklists. Pretty minimalistic, but I need it.

So I feel I have my gaming habits under control now that I can divy up my day into random tasks, that is until Batman Arkham Asylum (oh-em-gee) comes out in August! FYI: For years I’ve had recurring dreams where I’m Batman.

IN OTHER NEWS:

  • As of one week ago, I have put on 25 lbs since the beginning of Operation Beefcake.
  • I switched the blog back to it’s old format. Simple. Sleak. Sexy. Hope you like!
  • Tomorrow, I’m filming something for a show on Discovery HD where I get to dress up like a Spanish Conquistador and get shot with an arrow! Pictures to follow!
  • I have an audition in a couple weeks for a theatre production. I’ve read 3/4 of the script and love it thus far. My technique: I’m not allowing myself to read the last portion of the script until I actually get the part. It’s that good! Fingers crossed.
  • A week from tomorrow is July 16th, AKA Andrew WK in Halifax day! I’ve got my ticket, do you?…

Hit or Miss

July 7, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Glen: Hello blog! How are you? It’s been a while, I know.
Blog: It’s been a month… What have you been up to?
Glen: Oh, I’ve been really busy this last month; too many projects to name!
Blog: You’ve been Twittering, haven’t you? I can smell it on you.
Glen: …Yes, a little bit more than usual. That, and Xbox.
Blog: Xbox! You don’t even have Xbox Live; what kind of loser plays single player?! You’re pathetic.

And with that, I have returned to my blog to post a video from the GlenJM Vault. From the year 2006, I acted in Jason Grant’s short flick Hit or Miss that he produced in NSCC. More blogging soon! Enjoy!
