THE SYNDROME

ENTERTAINMENT OBSESSION // 2009

Stuff About Lauren...

I'm Lauren. I have two brothers, a crooked spine and I usually read magazines from the back to the front. I don't really know why; it just feels better that way. For a while I thought I'd devote my life to putting things in print (hard news, feature articles, new American fiction) but, about eight years ago, I realized that I've secretly been in love with film all my life. The crooked spine isn't going anywhere. I'm still kinda angry about that.

About the Blog...

I used to be a film critic for a newspaper. I got to immerse myself in entertainment and dissect it for other people. I miss that. Look ... there's other stuff going down on planet Earth that seems a little more life-and-death, but I love film because it taught me how to be a moral human being. Movies were my third parent. So this is why I blog THE SYNDROME.

RSA's Exquisite Corpse

Last year Ridley Scott and Rhea Scott launched Little Minx's Exquisite Corpse series, a group of 5 shorts by 5 emerging directors that were produced under the following circumstances: each director picks up the last line of text from the previous director's script and uses it as a jumping off point.

Check out the shorts at littleminx.tv

I'm really liking she stares longingly at what she has lost and with the eyes of every man riveted upon her. The cinematography in she walked calmly disappearing into the darkness is also worth a special note. Not surprising given who directed it -- Malik Hassan who's shot for Spike Lee and Kubrick.
