The Blog Wars are coming. I’m opening the invitation to 2 teams. 1) Red 2) Blue Four bloggers per team. I’ll be the one that kicks off the prompt. Red team continues the story, blue team throws the story for a loop. What story? Well, it’s simple. I’m going to have the chosen CHUD bloggers … Continue reading
“I have come to understand that all language is but substitute vision and, as Teilhard de Chardin has observed, ‘The history of the living world can be summarized as the elaboration of ever more perfect eyes within a cosmos in which there is always something more to be seen.’“ – Gene Youngblood, Expanded Cinema, 1970 … Continue reading

It’s almost an in-joke for all those that follow fellow blogger Ron Panarotti’s entries and adore them for their simplicity. I don’t come here to shit in Panarotti’s cereal. I come here to praise the man … Continue reading

McCain’s strategists hoped choosing Palin would accomplish two objectives: bring in … Continue reading
…get/like/understand popularity of etc that everyone else seemed to. These are the films where I and others don’t see eye to eye. I’m not talking about critics here. I’m talking about the greater web movie-community. Not site-specific opinion, more a general feel, a consensus. First up; Pineapple Express. It’s so, so, stupid to feel … Continue reading
