Begin To Begin

Hello out there to users of "the Internet." Flippo here. For those of you bored enough to come by the Weekly Flippo, I welcome you. For those of you who are actually excited about stopping by, I encourage you to adjust your expectations accordingly.

I’ve been in Los Angeles for what I believe is my fifth week and, for the most part, I have found it to be an enjoyable experience. My internship with Double Feature films has offered me plenty of experiences and, as a direct result, plenty of cool stories I can tell (and some I can’t).

Based on my whopping five weeks here in Los Angeles, I have compiled what I believe to be a pretty decent overview of the Los Angeles hierarchy.

1. Movie stars (like Pitt, Clooney, and Wall-E)

2. Movie producers

3. Directors

4.Agents.

5. Various production staffers

6. Freelancers


7. Assistants

8. Waiters

9. Teenager at Carl’s Jr.

10. Guy asking for change

11. Writers

12. Film students

13. Some sort of bug

14. Interns (like me)


Okay, next order of business. The Dark Knight was amazing. There is no way around it. Ledger was great, the writing was flawless, and Nolan was at the top of his game. From now on, I’m using this film to find out which women I want o date. Sorry, ladies. If you’re not a fan of The Dark Knight, well, you’re just not the woman for Chris Flippo.


Here are some youtube videos I'm digging this week.

1. The Hold Steady on Letterman

2. Pineapple Express trailer

3. House of 1000 Muppets

4. Kermit the Frog sings "Once In A Lifetime"

And with that, I leave you to wander around aimlessly in that great void that we call "everywhere else." I hope you come back next week. If not, well, you get what you paid for.
