About MorrisonFilm
Hello, my name is Shawn. This is where I put things. This site has been active since 2002. A lot has changed since then but basically I'm still writing ridiculous articles about ridiculous things. You can also look at my Flickr photostream which is a lot of fun if you aren't blind.
This site uses Simplelog, a simple Ruby on Rails weblog application. I explain why I use it in this entry. This site is hosted by Dreamhost.
I've made 4 short films that are currently available online. I also host a semi-regular comedic podcast with Garrett Murray that has a 5 star rating on iTunes!

ESPN baseball analyst Rob Neyer perfectly captures how I feel about the Super Bowl:
[…] I’m sort of pulling for the Colts because I like Peyton Manning’s TV work – both in commercials and press conferences – and I’m sort of pulling for the Bears because a lot of my friends are Bears fans.
Being the baseball fan I am, I’m not sure how I ever missed this video of Randy Johnson killing a bird with a fastball… during a real game.

While Roger Ebert recovers in the hospital I found myself reading Manohla Dargis’ review of You, Me and Dupree. Overall her style is a bit too dense for me but I particularly enjoyed this extremely harsh summation of the film:
There are several problems with “Dupree,” not least that there is no filmmaking to speak of, just a progression of competent-looking scenes in which the actors appear to have successfully hit their marks. The directors, the brothers Anthony and Joe Russo, have made a few other features, including “Welcome to Collinwood,” an unnecessary redo of “Big Deal on Madonna Street” that nonetheless looked like someone was paying attention to the lighting and how objects and bodies fit in the frame, which isn’t the case here. That said, they do manage to shoot Ms. Hudson most attractively in a fantasy sequence that finds her promenading in a bikini, thus fulfilling her primary function in the film as a decorative accessory.
Sadly this paragraph could describe most movies Hollywood puts out these days.
