01/22/2006: ""The "Dark Whiskey" Dream by Christopher Folino"

We start the blog off with a look at our weekly ranking on IMDB.
“Gamers” has slipped down for a second week straight, it’s ranked 5765 on the IMDB MOVIEmeter.

That’s 327 movies points we dropped in a week! Not really bad considering the two major indie festivals that hit are happening this week.

On the IMDB comedy MOVIEmeter we are ranked 2293 that’s two above the classic “Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise!"

However, if I was a gambling man, I’d say our numbers will go down for next weeks ranking. Then again, I thought the Seattle Seahawks would lose to Carolina today.
Speaking of Seattle, I had a great dream last night, for some reason Michael Caine was our producer for the movie “Gamers” and he was in Seattle and they were naming off all the movies that got into the Seattle Film Festival.
I remember walking in this huge football arena with Michael Caine to get this packed bar where for some reason the festival was announcing which films were accepted.
It got down to the very last film and they announced “Gamers”! It was so cool, the entire bar erupts for “Gamers” and I was so happy!
Then Michael Caine goes up to the bar and orders a "dark whiskey" and I sense he the bartender have some sort of history. Well, the bartender makes Caine a glass of dark whiskey. However, Michael rolls it back without taking a drink telling the bartender “It’s not dark enough.” Caine is pissing the bartender off really badly, and now Caine starts chugging the “Dark Whiskey” and he keeps telling the bartender it’s not dark enough!
I’m like pleading in my dream with Caine to just shut-up the hell-up and drink his “Dark Whiskey!”
Then I woke up with the feeling that the festival took back the invite for “Gamers”
I know I’m only getting three hours of sleep each night, and I rarely remember my dreams so now I get to figure out what the hell this one was about! Serious, what the hell is Michael Caine doing in my dream as our producer? And I’ll have to go see a shrink to figure out the dark whiskey!

And lastly I share with you the last five songs I’ve added to my IPOD.
I’ve decided to take a new approach “If I’m in public, what songs won’t I be embarrassed to have on my IPOD. “ I was getting so much smack talk for having “Say, Say, Say” on my IPOD! That’s classic baby! A little Ebony and Ivory classic!
So I wiped off my IPOD, and have started over. Here now are the last five songs I’ve added.

Squeeze –“Up the Junction”
Billy Bragg & Wilco –“California Stars”
Credence Clearwater Revival –“Cotton Fields”
Tom Petty –“Roll another Joint”
Ramones –“California Sun”

Have a great day! Monday’s blog will be dedicated to writing about the latest behind-the-scenes stories.
I'm going to go have a dark whiskey!
