I’ve got a bunch of California Bays in my yard, and they smell great. I through hell of one in my stews, and it’s a kick ass flavor that I love. Don’t cook with those pansy-ass Turkish leaves. Bah.

One thing I think religious folks have in common, for good or ill, is a common story to tell and organize around. Communities organize around the stories we tell, whether it’s the story from the MCU, the Bolshevik revolution, West-Coast rapppers, or the Bible. I grew up on Greek mythology, Broadway show tunes, and…

There is a story in South America that the armadillo wanted to make music, but wasn’t able to. He wanted to make music so much, that he would give his life for it. So in South America they make a type of guitar OUT OF THE BODY! Yikes! Happy fairy tale ends in death. So sad for guitarmadillos.

What would be really cool is if we could clone those magnificent creatures from the DNA they left behind. Imagine them majestically roaming the streets of Chicago.

I picked up a pack of pumpkin spice Oreos to punish my coworkers. Those stupid enough to try one got through a 1/2 to a 1/4.

Oh I gosh, I thought it was Danny RAND from Iron-Fist, and was worried I couldn’t watch the show in good conscience.

This is the same TSA that lets guns go through so deranged veterans can unpack them at the baggage carousel and massacre others. Wouldn’t want to hurt anyone’s 2nd amendment rights.

Haha, when I first started with filming my sound was output from a zoom H2, using Apple EarPods, and a construction headset to block out noise. I ended up having to ADR the whole thing later. But my film got made!

I picked up a set, used, for field recording, and have been delighted. The sounds are crisp and lively at all levels.

No. No, no, no, no, no! These are our allies. These are the people who we need to win. These people actually voted, they actually give a damn, in a nation where that’s becoming more and more rare. These are the people who live n Georgia, Arkansas, Alabama, and Texas. Are you going to move there? I doubt it.

The people who voted out of pure self interest, knowing Trump only cares about keep the rich, rich—that I understand. It’s amazing how many of the other folks are deluded.

Ok, I gotta take the low road. Ahem. “If it’s a Nazi base, I’m surprised it wasn’t called pussygraber.” >rimshot<

We all know how he prepares. With a few pounds of Uncle Sigmund’s Peruvian Nasal Medicine.

As a filmmaker I listen to a LOT of film music. (Tonight Cloud Atlas & Argo.) I’m always telling other filmmakers to not be afraid of silence over dialog, otherwise there’s nowhere for the music to tie into the emotions of the actors.

There was a story on Radiolab talking about how the Greeks were color-blind Tomthe color Blue because it wasn’t in the Homeric literature. The idea seemed ridiculous, considering how many blue things there are in the world. These statues would seem to agree.

I read that it had a glass BEAKER in the handle, which would be completely useless, unless you were harvesting the blood of your enemies.

I was in high school when the Perez Teen Titans booted. My sorta girlfriend at the time was a fan of the books, and appreciated that Starfire and Raven represented different aspects on the emotional scale. One was free and open and sex was part of her culture. The other was repressed and unable to break fee of the…

107 MPH? I expect to see this on the roads in 20-nevitty-never.

This is one of the things I’m having to get my head around. When I was a boy in the 70s, I was expected to ride the wave that the sexual revolution created. When it came to sex, my parents were basically raised with zero, and I mean ZERO information. They had to invent a language, a way of living, and a morality that…

Marnie was a lovely film. If it wins an Oscar it might go into wide release. On the other hand it won’t win the Oscar because it never went into wide release.
