Movie Reviews

The English Surgeon

A good documentary does more to stimulate my mind than the best fictional films. The English Surgeon is above and beyond a spectacular documentary. Most scriptwriters couldn't dare compete with the sheer drama and uncomfortable tension filmmaker Geoffrey Smith captures in his real-life story of English neurosurgeon Henry Marsh, who became fed up with the inability of Ukrainian doctors to treat patients in need of brain operations and decided to do something about it. When a young Ukrainian man needs an operation to remove a tumor in his brain, Doctor Smith is his only hope for long-term survival. Unfortunately for this patient, modern luxuries are nowhere to be found in modern-day Ukraine and the only the way the operation can move forward is by using nothing but local anesthetics to reduce the pain of drilling thru the scull and scraping away the cancerous cells growing on his brain--In other words, doing the entire operation while completely awake and conscious. Beyond the unbelievable situations throughout the film, the simple message of humanitarianism shines.  In today's consumerist smorgasbord of a world we live in, it can be easy to forget the simple things that make being a fellow human being a rewarding experience. This film helps remind us. -Clayton Hauck

Podcasting

Brain Stuff.
(itunes link, web link)

HowStuffWorks.com offers a nice variety of interesting podcasts but the first one I stumbled upon was Brain Stuff. It's a short but sweet look into, well, how stuff works. Each podcast gives a straight and to-the-point explaination on a wide variety of topics of which you are sure to find a few that interest you.

Issue #53: It's been a while. Things in everyoneisfamous land have been in flux these days. I've had less and less time to spend in the dance clubs, DJing or taking photos, and have been focusing more and more on photographing things in the daylight hours. Perhaps you've noticed the complete lack of website updates lately. Change is good, though, and things will continue on with more of a focus on photography, music and the occasional fun event. So there you have it, thanks for all your support in the past and be sure to keep your eyes on us in the future. everyoneisfamous.com

Secondly, if you know me well you've probably heard my frustrations with throwing good events in Chicago. It's a tough town and all too often well-deserving touring artists end up playing to empty rooms. When I heard Drop the Lime, a favorite DJ of mine from New York City, told his booking agent to skip Chicago on his last tour, it really bummed me out. Stories of this nature are common for one reason or another we don't need to get into now. That said, I made it a goal of mine to give Drop the Lime a worthwhile show here in Chicago. I've seen him destory rooms in Los Angeles, New York or points in between, but here in town he's only ever played to a few loyal fans. Which brings me to...

Just Desserts #11 with Drop the Lime, Ghetto Division & Dark Wave Disco this Thursday at Lincoln Hall. We've teamed up with Willy Joy to hopefully give Drop the Lime his Chicago show he deserves. And that's where you come in! Come dance with us to the sounds of Trouble & Bass founder Drop the Lime from New York City. If you can't afford the cover, enter to win a pair of tickets below.

In addition, we're also involved in a killer private event on Tuesday, November 2nd at House of Blues with Andrew WK performing as part of The Most Interesting Show in the World. More on that and everything else below.

Thanks for reading, hope to see you Thursday night!

Issue #50: Hot time, summer in the city! Yes.. it sure does feel like summer around here these days and that's a good thing! As always, there is plenty going on in everyoneisfamous-ville. We're working on a bunch of awesome parties in the coming few months (look for Phenomenal Handclap Band, Ninjasonik & other rad stuff!) plus our weekly Tuesdays Are Famous at Beauty Bar! And of course, there's the regular blog goodness and hopefully if everything works out, a photo show and a book in the not-too-distant future. Until then, enjoy the summer!

Q: What got you started in taking photos and where do you hope to go with it?
A: I started taking photos with a digital point and shoot in junior high, and it all went from there. It would be awesome to take photos for a living, but I'm concentrating on school right now. Although, working with big clothing companies and magazines in the future is my dream! I don't want to get my hopes up or anything!

Q: Your work looks very analogue. Are you shooting film or just processing your digital files?
A: All of my work is film, and most of it is slightly processed, too. I only do digital at social gatherings and such, when I don't want to use up too much film.

Q: Care to elaborate a little on your process? What camera(s) do you use? Any ideal camera setup that you maybe can't afford just yet?
A: I work with my closest friends, and luckily, they're all stunning! I mostly use a nikon n80, but sometimes i'll use my canon sure shot or just a disposable. When I'm not broke, I'm going to definitely buy a yashica t4 though.

Issue #49: Welcome to the new everyoneisfamous.com newsletter. It's been a while since I've sent one of these out and that's because I've been slowly re-working the everyoneisfamous.com website and redefining what it is we do. If you have not been there in a while, check it out!

There will still be a heavy focus on nightlife here in Chicago and across the country, but we are mixing things up and attempting to be more well-rounded. This newsletter, along with the main website, will cover music, photography, design, guest blogs or whatever we find interesting along with the normal servings of party photos, ticket giveaways and all the stuff we've been doing for years.

Also, TONIGHT is Tuesdays Are Famous at Beauty Bar Chicago (1444 W Chicago Ave.). As always, there is no cover and affordable drinks. I will be spinning along with Black Holes. Hope to see you there!
