louise on the left (coast)

Recently, I was forwarded an interesting press release regarding Eric Schaeffer's upcoming new "dramady" called " Gravity," produced by Starz Media , and felt that it may be time to revisit this subject again. Besides, as luck would have it, it turns out that tomorrow is Schaeffer's birthday (1/22/62). How best to celebrate a filmmaker than by paying homage to his work while awaiting the premiere of his soon to be aired, Gravity . Listed below are some of Schaeffer's previous film trailers along as well as some of these trailer's "hits and misses." Trailers below: from Fall, (1997), If Lucy Fell, (1996) and Wirey Spindell, (2000) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Trailer from If Lucy Fell (1996) IF LUCY FELL trailer hits and misses: Best moment in trailer : Ben Stiller: "I -- art."

First of all: This guy can make money. Seriously. He knows how to sell ice to Eskimos, is my first reaction, because he always gets funding. And he always delive

But have you ever given any thought to who may be the scariest person you have ever met? I have. Yes, because when I'm not spending all my free time baking whole wheat things and hand-sewing doll clothing for my kids. (as if. ) I am also occasionally a thinker-of-dumb-things, which is why I realize now, just who the scariest person I used to know is: (Drum roll, please.) Eric Schaeffer. Yes. That , Eric Schaeffer . The same one who I know a lot of people have previously loved to hate . However, I actually have the dubious distinction of having gone to the same high school with him and perform in high school plays wit
