I recently received an expensive camera as a belated birthday gift, and it makes HD-quality videos, so basically, I can shoot my very own vodka advertisements, and other important things like that for Youtube.

But filmmaking is hard. Apparently even Woody Allen, the miniature king of cinema, does not yet have sufficient funding for his next film, Midnight in Paris. It’s supposed to start shooting this month in Paris with Rachel McAdams, Adrien Brody, Owen Wilson, Kathy Bates, Marion Cotillard, and France’s first lady, Carla Bruni.

Not even the pimpest director in Hollywood and a cast of super-egos can brave the trenches of the financial crisis. Or maybe Woody’s just busy blowing his funds on expensive Parisian apartment rentals and foie gras for the under-21 club.
