Closing Time

I usually don't curse people out...but I feel like doing that right now. If this is what we are coming to in our so-called civilization...I really am at a loss at what to do. Perhaps we're already too late. Maybe it's time to just quit and move out.

This article is not recommended for those of you with faint sensibilities etc.
On the other hand...this is what those of us who still try to hold on to common decency and kindness are up against.

Perhaps this would only make me sink to his level, but if I saw the man pictured above, Mr. Anthony Anderson on the street, I'd be tempted to beat him within an inch of his life. Think that's too drastic...just read the article.

Sorting Out Chaos

The last few months have been completely chaotic between music videos and plan changes and getting ready for next year. I just got back from Poland this morning, and I'm hoping that marks a slight slow-down in pace for me and a return to this space...I've missed it quite a bit. I'm thinking of posting a few short stories/screenplays of mine on here every now and then. Any opinions? It wouldn't happen too much, but once in a while I'm in a sharing mood.

On a completely different note...ever do something that made you feel a bit sick for a few hours after you've done it? I had a quease-inducing moment. tedMEDIA has to travel with a lot of extra luggage, and so we usually try to negotiate for a lower price on the overweight baggage. Leaving Poland this morning, I flashed my sweetest smile, flirted, batted my lashes (so on and so forth) and got the price down a good bit. Now I know many airlines give their check-in clerks the freedom to shift the price depending on circumstance, but apparently, this wasn't the case because as I was leaving, the clerk mentioned that she could get into trouble for this. Now obviously she knew this and went ahead with dropping the price, but I don't really care. I will gladly negotiate something if it's in your power to change it; but I never want to convince you to do something you shouldn't be doing, even if that's at a cost to me. I didn't feel great about that.

Welcome to the O.Z.?



I discovered this over at Jeffrey Overstreet's blog, and he gives a great commentary that I'd rather avoid stepping on or repeating; but I will say this:
The idea of a daring remake of any classic is exciting to me. Stage plays are re-imagined all the time. Why can't we do the same with films instead of poo-pooing and whining that a good movie should never be revisited?
