1974

"It's a perilous time in film exhibition and there are fewer independent theaters than ever. The equation has flipped and streaming has become the primary delivery system...Many films today are perfect products manufactured for immediate consumption. Many of them are well made by teams of talented individuals. All the same, they lack something essential to cinema: the unifying vision of an individual artist. Because, of course, the individual artist is the riskiest factor of all."

Paradise lost.

Just watched the new short documentary on Netflix, ‘FIRE IN PARADISE’ about the devastating surprise wildfire that obliterated the beautiful town of Paradise, Ca. 85 ppl died with no roads opened to escape from the brutal surrounding flames. The town was totally destroyed and burned to the ground. Not sure how I’ll sleep tonight being reminded that all it takes in life is one ‘bad day’ to permanently change the course of a person’s life, forever.

   La Notte Salva (excerpt)

 CNN truly has turned into a one-sided 24-7 ‘President bashing’ channel that focuses more on trying to make celebrities out of ‘journalists’ than delivering important world news that affects us all. If folks want to know what’s really going on in this world we are in, turn the tube channel to BBC or C-Span, because CNN has turned into an aberration of the MTV channel without the semblance of music except for the droning of boring scripted reality shows they have started to pump out. It’s pathetic and sad because once upon a time I loved CNN for getting my news. Now, I find them... ‘deplorable.’

Georgia Time - Civil War 2019

p.s. in preparing for tonight's debate, and after observing a new trend of senators gettin' their beard game on - I've opted to shave. Soooooooo, my campaign motto is    #shavehappened2020!

                                       bye.

p.s.s. brace yourself, Tulsi. You trashed Clinton and called her 'rot', so you're going to be taken out tonight and devoured like a National Geographic episode. Brace yourself, lil' soldier girl patriot and expect the blows and poor screen time. bye again (part2).

p.s.s. I love my facial hair and will prob grow it and scratch it once again, immediately. bye part 3.

p.s.

           The‘Indiewire Toolkit Podcast’ is excellent.

Is it just me, or is basically every single country on this planet ‘protesting’ their government? The BBC feels like some WWF 'action news' channel every morning. Perhaps protest is the new flu? If so, someone needs to blow their nose already. It’s getting old, routine and hard to really see what’s going on in the world besides Molotov cocktails. No wonder everyone’s getting Netflix and Disney+. Yawn.  bye.   #aworldspoiledrotten

500 pounds of shaving cream was used for the practical Special FX in the movie, Ghostbusters, as the giant marshmallow man explodes upon defeat. Who knew!? God bless shavin' cream (and the Ghostbusters, too). bye. #F...CGIfx

Geez Louise.

The deep state is now on prime-time tv. Petty politician bickering decorated with the shallow character of some mind-numbing Jerry Springer show on steroids. All that this impeachment hearing nonsense is doing is simply educating the entire world- on an internationally scaled broadcast - of just how terrible our two reigning political parties are at this very moment, and that the ‘United’ states of America are not as ‘united’ as they should be literally 3 days after Veterans Day!  I’m certain that all of our great enemies are laughing the hardest at us right now rather than respecting us, as they should be. Embarrassing how petty people with power and enormous egos can be. Shameful. And pathetic, most of all. Pathetic. Like the Romans were, before they fell.

Bye.
