Jabba The Hutt Just Might Be The Only Real Hero In The Star Wars Movie Universe

Reliving childhood fantasies is always a favorite pastime of the holiday season and this year the return of the Star Wars movie franchise provides ample opportunity for a nation revisit one of the defining myths of a generation. Also, it's easier to debate the merits of a pop culture theology than talk about the much darker real world impact of religion that usually ends up in racist talk about deportation, terrorism or some other uncomfortable aspect of old world myths which aren't quite as sophisticated as content devised by suits at Disney. And so, this is the season of Star Wars wherein the struggle between good and evil gets a lot simpler than the current political discourse. Simplicity might be key given that throngs of people have made the pilgrimage to horrible movie theaters in order to witness the latest "Jedi" installment while churches and voting booths have become desolate places in the Western world. It's not a hard decision, there really is no...

Stepping Up Again And Again

The work on other projects is complete and now it's good to get back back to steady grinding. Accordingly, it's time to step up this blog. This is something we've wanted to do for quite a bit and there's even a game plan of sorts. But now it's time to commit. At the very least, and again and again, it's time to grind because dedication has always been more important than talent, study or even genius. Let's remember that this exactly a journal and it's not exactly a look behind the scenes BUT HOPEFULLY this "place" can be something that people might find interesting and check out from time to time.

Once again, as always, this is about commitment and a reminder...

Bridge To The Better

It's never a a bad deal when I'm working on other stuff and haven't had time to bang out any new stories or short movies . . . As long as the other stuff is worthwhile. This time around I'm working on a project that should produce about 20 short clips that will hopefully be somewhat important and work to inform voters before an upcoming election in my hometown. It's not groundbreaking stuff but I notice that nobody else is doing it. So it's important to me. As long as work is getting done, I'm happy . . . I've read that people still work on projects in the back of their head no matter what's going on . . . So, I'll assume that the latest story is still percolating somewhere. On the not-so-bright-side . . . Looking at some of my old notes, I've discovered that I've had this story in some form of draft for over three years. So when I get done with my videos, it's finally time to finish this tale that's been in the back o...
