I know I bagged on Lou Dobbs in an earlier post, but he just did something that made me love him. A gentleman just said something that he didn’t quite agree with, so Lou screamed “Balderdash”!!
And he meant it.
And I like that.

I love you Lou Dobbs.

EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY

Be sure to check out their amazing music at www.ExplosionsInTheSky.com and www.Myspace.com/ExplosionsInTheSky

If you were a fan of Paul Giamatti’s work in Sideways, American Splendor, Man On The Moon, Private Parts, or Cinderella Man then you’ll love him in “PRETTY FRANK: THE MUSICAL.”

It just doesn’t get much better than Paul Giamatti. Does it?
Daniel Day Lewis is always called the ‘greatest living actor’… I would argue that Giamatti could give him a run for his money any day. Sideways, American Splendor and now this? I know everybody hated “Lady in the Water” (I didn’t), [...]

Hey Frankies and…..Annette?

There was a discussion about the difference between Goth and Emo.

Enjoy.

I watched a horror movie called “shrooms” last night. It started good then sucked big time. Like almost all modern horror films.

Poncho refuses to be housebroken and she loves the taste of a fresh cat turd.
Poncho will bite off your fingers if you happen to be holding a cheese soaked nacho chip.
Poncho enjoys the smell of her own stink.
Poncho hates wearing clothing and will stand motionless like a gargoyle if you put a [...]

I DON’T READ PART 2

Speaking of reading…..

I DON’T READ PART 1

I’ve never been an avid reader, mostly because I have an extremely short attention span and I don’t have the time or discipline or patience required to sit down and read a novel. I envy those bookworms that have the focus and discipline to dedicate an entire afternoon to reading a novel without passing out [...]

This summer I’m teaching an abstract painting class at the Wichita Center For The Arts. The class is intended to be an exercise in creativity and an ego destroying experience. In other words, I want my students to free themselves from their own preconceived definition of art, and create art without allowing their ego to [...]
Lou fuckin’ Dobbs

I hate his stupid fuckin’ android smile.
I don’t trust his smile… there’s something hiding behind those perfect (doll) teeth. Watch how he laughs and tell me he doesn’t hurt small animals in his garage.
Don’t get me wrong, I do actually agree with Lou Dobbs on some things (my fear of the North American Union), [...]

So, a friend of mine was telling me about HBO’s John Adams mini-series, and it got me to thinking. This is by no means a new discussion or line of thought, but I hadn’t really pondered it this hard in my own brain. So, I began to wonder, were these men (our “fore-fathers”) [...]

While working on my next screenplay, “The Dead Can’t Dance” (which, by the way, is Wade’s awesome title), a friend of mine has lended me the book “The Zombie Survival Guide.” It’s hilarious! And very insightful, too (since I’ll be making a zombie movie, of sorts). I’ve just started it, but very excited about it. [...]

THE MONSTER CRIES

The Frankenstein Monster was abandoned by his creator. He was left frightened and alone. He was an outcast. He was completely unaware of who or what he was. He had no name. No home. No identity. He sought affection and understanding but his disfigured appearance inspired revulsion and fear from everyone he encountered. Despite all [...]

The lyric is: “Whataya mean I don’t believe in God? I talk to him [...]
