COWARDICE AT CENTRAL OFFICE: School Board plays games with outraged citizens on school uniforms, refuses to acknowledge public outcry
Cowardice.It's an ugly word. It's not one to lightly employ. It's certainly not one that I've ever felt comfortable with using, regardless of the situation. In fact, I don't know if I've ever used "cowardice" in a piece of serious writing at all. Ever. It doesn't show up when I scan this blog for it. It certainly isn't something that I've been chomping at the bit for the chance to get to use it someday.I've tried my best to avoid it.But sometimes,...

Comparisons between Ron Paul and 300
So Saturday night I saw 300 again, this time in Raleigh with my friend Chad. And I think that of all the movies that I have seen so far this year, 300 is easily my favorite, and the best overall in my opinion. I just found out that it's coming out on DVD next month, too!If you haven't seen 300 yet, remember how riled-up a lot of us got when Braveheart came out? 300 is that kind of blood-stirring good. This is exactly the kind of story we need...
Crazy good weekend! Report from Pixelodeon and the Ron Paul video becomes a YouTube hit!
Most of this weekend was spent in Raleigh. I left Reidsville at about 4 p.m. on Friday afternoon and reached my friend Chad's place a little after 6. For the past five weeks I've been studying my brains out for the Praxis exam: that's the big series of tests given to prospective teachers. It was actually two exams that I took on Saturday: one that morning for content knowledge, and the second later that afternoon on teaching methods. And, I think...

My first commercial will be shown at Pixelodeon at American Film Institute this weekend!
Just one more post before I really absolutely do take a self-imposed sabbatical from blogging for the next few days: it was first mentioned last week that the first commercial from my school board campaign - the "zany" Star Wars-inspired ad - will be screened this weekend at the first-ever Pixelodeon Independent Video Festival at the American Film Institute... in Hollywood!...
My first video for the Ron Paul cause
It's late. I've been working on this video since yesterday afternoon. Had some weird encoding problems. But the first "political advertisement" I've made in support of Ron Paul for President is all finished now, and uploaded to YouTube for your viewing pleasure. I call it "Sick and Tired and Needing a Doctor" ...This is like the third or fourth production I've done lately that involves me being shown with a toilet: parse that as you will. But...
First trailer for I AM LEGEND
I Am Legend by Richard Matheson is one of the most haunting novels that I've ever read. The project to make a modern-day film adaptation of it (it's been turned into a movie twice already, the last one being The Omega Man with Charlton Heston) is something that's been simmering for over ten years now: yeah I still remember the days when Ridley Scott was going to make this...

Illegals amnesty dead in Senate (but could still come back)
It's down for now, but it sounds like the bastitches trying to push this through are gonna come back around for another pass.This bill is just one more indication why Ted Kennedy is about 40 years past any real usefulness in the Senate (if that muc...
"Autobots are watching you!"
After starting to feel so much good vibe the past few weeks about Transformers coming out next month, only to find this... thing.It's a 2007 update to the "Transformers" theme song (MP3 file in .zip format) on the Sector Seven promo website for Transformers.This doesn't raise my hopes any about the movie, y'all...
Live free or DIE HARD!
voteronpaul08 at Ron Paul Forums asked if I could do a Ron Paul thing with the Live Free or Die Hard poster. Here's what I came up with...
Now they're re-making THE THING and making a movie out of EMPIRE?!
Some days it just doesn't pay to take a look on the cultural front...Ronald D. Moore, the guy who re-created Battlestar Galactica for the Sci-Fi Channel (and did an amazing job of it from the looks of things), is now working on a remake of The Thing......which might not be an altogether bad thing. John Carpenter's 1982 The Thing was already a remake, and Moore is a pretty capable guy. But it's going to be darn awful hard to top what we saw in the...

Shirley Phelps-Roper arrested for letting son stomp on American flag
Remember this lady? It's Shirley Phelps-Roper. It will be a year ago next week that she and her family - the infamous Westboro Baptist Church - visited the TV station that I worked at. This is that "God hates fags church" that does those rabid anti-homosexual protests... most of them quite bizarre and all of them crossing the boundary of good taste. If you missed that...
He's got as good a chance as anyone else ...

WARNING: The following blog post may trigger seizures and nausea
They unveiled the logo for the 2012 London Olympics earlier this week and it's so magnificently malformed that some are claiming that it could trigger seizures in people with epilepsy...It reminded me of something that happened almost ten years ago. On December 17th 1997, Japanese television broadcast an episode of the popular Pokemon show. During the episode there is one...
They are re-making CONAN THE BARBARIAN
That's it. Hollywood is officially a depleted sow. The field has been plowed and planted so many times that nothing fresh is growing in it. It's dead, Jim.Find out about it here, in a story primarily about another remake (of Brian De Palma's Dressed to Kill).Incidentally, I watched last year's remake of The Omen a few days ago on HBO. That was another classic movie that never warranted a remake, at all. The same is true for Conan the Barbarian...
VIDEO: Giuliani staff uses police to arrest independent journalist
If only YouTube had existed in 2000...In October of 2000 I was a reporter with an independent newspaper. And - through legitimate channels mind ya - I had been given an invitation to attend a rally for George W. Bush during the presidential debate at Wake Forest University. I was hoping to get a chance to ask Bush a few questions: nothing rude mind ya, but I was gonna try to make the most of the opportunity.Bush staff found out that some "non-corporate"...
Need an extra-large version of the Ron Paul/Matrix graphic?
Since last night I have received numerous requests for a much larger version of the Ron Paul graphic that apes the poster for The Matrix (which also features some not-so-subtle commentary). Seems that some folks are wanting to make full-size posters of this...If you need (or just plain lust for) a far larger version of this graphic, e-mail me at theknightshift@gmail.com with...
