Friends of the Cinefamily
Cut Chemist & Cinefamily's Tom Fitzgerald LIVE!
There’s a very special event happening tomorrow I want to tell you about. Tom Fitzgerald — one of our main programmers and practically a Cinefamily founding father — is performing down the street tomorrow, Wednesday the 17th at the House Of Blues, as part of Cut Chemist’s “Tunnel Vision” show. There’s more than a couple reasons you should check this out, the very first of which is Tom’s completely awesome trailer for the show, found below!
Since you probably know who Cut Chemist is (and that’s already a good reason to go, but if you’re unfamilliar, click here), let me tell you a little more about Tom, of whom we’re all extremely proud. There’s no one else who’s had more influence on the feel, tone, and content of Cinefamily than Tom. None of us at CInefamily had any background as film programmers before we started, but it’s no coincidence that the person who took the quickest to this new gig, and the person I’ve learned the most from, was someone from a completely different background: DJ culture. That’s Tom, who’s been working as Cut Chemist’s visual guy for years.
Dumb Names In Movies!
One of the most consistently funny new Tumblrs we’ve seen in a very long time happens to be done by someone dear to the Cinefamily’s heart! Everyone get ready — here comes Dumb Names In Movies!
Evan Husney — a longtime appreciator of the goofy, the inane and the totally maddening — has just started a genius screenshot collection of movie credits featuring crew member names so fitfully wrong-sounding that it seems as if someone made them up! It’s a game we’ve all played at one time or another, after the end credits roll on something you’ve just watched at the multiplex — but Evan’s taking it to a whole other level, as he scours the entire world of cinema for the craziest, the silliest and just plain insane names buried in the dark, dusty realm of the End Credits Brigade.
As Evan simply puts it:
There is a reason people like you and me sit and wait to watch ALL OF THE CREDITS at the end of movies. It’s because we want to see who has the dumbest name of all. This blog is dedicated to archiving all of those names. And we WILL get them all. Everyday a name will be named!!
