“So, that woman, see her? The one with the white hat. Notice her arms. She’s hugging herself, and shivering at the same time. Now, notice exhibit A, her fur coat, which proves that she was shivering not from cold, no-no, not by a long shot. That’s ju...

Today.
Today’s the day. It’s finally here. A test screening at 6 in the evening in Sherwood Cinema, a massive multiplex.
Sherwood was built by a friend of my Dad’s and when it was facing bankruptcy, daddy dearest, the ‘kind’...

“Janice?”
“Janice, it's me! I’m sorry Jan, I’m-I am sorry Jan, I panicked and just…” I rambled in my drunken haze, as I moved around the dark living room with my camcorder in one hand, recording my face from my r...

“COME IN!” I called out.
And in he came, my boy… all grown up. Wearing a suit of all things.
Damn it.
For context, whenever he wants to discuss anything work-related, he always wears a sui...

“OUT OF ORDER? I’LL SHOW YOU OUT OF ORDER!” He reacts passionately, as he proceeds to stand up from his chair.
His face masked with fury and indignation as he held up his walking stick above the desk. “You don’t know w2hat outta order is, Mr. Trask! I’ll show you but I’m too old, I’m to...

Who is crazy enough to break their wrists against the door when there is a perfectly good doorbell?
“RICKY! OPEN UP! IT’S ME!
Ah of course, Missy.
“COMING!” I yell back as I hastily put on a shirt before opening the door.
Hey, don’t judg...

"So…"
"Hn?"
"It's good."
All I got was a deadpan from my son.
"Good? Really? That's all you have to say? You are Ambrose Stirling; you've produced over 30 feature length films… and 'good' is all you have to say?" He narrowed his eyes at me. "Mind elaborating a bit?"

"-creation of the three-strip Technicolor camera provided a momentous boost to the films in 1930s. This era that continued till the 50s was defined by the three-strip Technicolor. Technicolor could now offer studios a full range of colors as opposed to the red-green spectrum of previous films. Now, can anyone here tell me how...

“We have received confirmation from Dildon regarding the post production of ‘Fixer Upper’. He’ll finish it in time to submit the final version to ‘Toronto’.

I love my job. Really. No matter how many times I have yelled at the Almighty about how much I hate it, I don’t.
But there are some instances where, being in charge of some of the buffoons we’ve got here, it gets tiring after a while.
Not that it’s been a while now, has it? Why I remember the ceremon...

The Cadillac came to a smooth halt outside the office building.
"We are here Mr. Stirling." The driver said, turning around to the backseat where I was reading a brochure.
I looked up at him, "Please, call me Ricky. Mr. Stirling is my dad." The words came out of my mouth as I prepared to disembark from the car.

THUNK – THUNK!
The dull, heavy sound had been playing out for several minutes now. It seemed to be coming from the Astro Turf.
Sigh, now what new spectacle is little Richmond the cause of? Perhaps, it’s something harmless, such as going back to his roots and polishing his football skills. But then aga...

I cast a quick look at the rustic Grandfather Clock, before seating myself at the coffee table. It was Sunday morning and neither me nor my father were in any rush today.
“Morning kiddo.” Dad seemed to be overtly cheerful today.
“Good morning, and please, please, don’t call me that.” I put some emphasis on the se...

Sigh, what time is it yet? I ponder at my question, before I pick my head off the desk and turn my wrist to glance at the wristwatch on my left wrist.

What is the ultimate meaning of life? Is it to continue and evolve endlessly in a hopeless quest of survival through selective reproduction? Is it perhaps, to maximize happiness and minimize suffering of oneself and others? Or, maybe, life doesn’t have a predetermined purpose. And we as homo sapiens must create meanings and purp...
