Had slow day today as I went to pick up my girl at the airport. We’ll be hitting some movies tonight and early tomorrow, and I’ll be putting up a couple of more reviews.

Everyone is talking about Napoleon Dynamite, that clearly has the most buzz at the festival. Garden State has good buzz, but most of the people I’ve spoken to say is just good.

Based on my friend Peter Sarsgaard’s recommendation I went to see “Down to the Bone” yesterday. It is a very subtle film about a women in upstate New York dealing with drug addition, an unsupportive husband as well as a lying, hypocritical lover. The film is not for everyone (dark drug films usually aren’t), but it is uncompromising and powerful for anyone who has been impacted by substance abuse. I’ll have a review for tomorrow.

Hello, my name is Jason. Welcome to my blog on the interwebs. You can reach me on twitter @jason and by email at jason@calacanis.com. My Skype is jasoncalacanis, and my mobile phone is 310-456-4900.

I only pick up numbers I recognize, and in terms of emailing me, the best strategy is to write short, blunt and to the point requests. I can quickly respond to short messages, and many times I simply don't have the time to read five page pitches. In terms of taking meetings, I only do that after reviewing an actual product (not a business plan). So, the best time to ping me is when you have mockups or an alpha site. I don't read business plans, and I've never written one.
