"Authority is not Truth - Truth is Authority" - JUST SAY KNOW!

Runaway Productions: A Letter by Mark Vuille (Chief Lighting Tech)

Greetings Fellow Filmers, I thought you might like to read a report on what we’ve already known for a few years now. The loss of our employment opportunities, coupled with the ‘bust’ of 2008, plus rising inflation (now noticeable in our food and fuel prices), …

Rally To Restore…. Cat Stevens?

The “Rally To Restore Sanity” was a blast! I felt compelled to make the event. I am a big fan of Stewart. I do not share a lot of his views.

Background Actors? Let them eat cake... and Shrapnel!

I have often decried the treatment of Background Actors, also known as Background Performers, Atmosphere and Extras. My thoughts are, as they apply to SAG, is that we should judge our Guild as we judge society. And that is how we treat the people "at the bottom".

Killing in the name of Allah or God is not new, using Nukes is!

Below is a series of quotes that I was asked to compile regarding Islam and specifically regarding the many references to violence. My first thoughts were that anybody could pick a major religion, pull some random quotes and make them look bad.

If Nuclear Power is the Answer, We are Asking the Wrong Question

So even some former “Green Warriors” have been jumping on the Nuclear Power bandwagon. Talking about subsidizing 7 to 10 Billion Dollars per new power plant. The price and the need to subsidize alone tell us that this is not the system for us.

Press 1 for English, Pay Double and Sit in the Back of the Bus

I’ve experienced discrimination most of my life. Most of the time I just laugh it off. Not as some form of defense but because I truly found it amusingly ridiculous. I’m sure it helps that I am white. Or at least makes it easer to dismiss.

Suggested Viewing for Actors

Looking for something to watch on a slow night at home? Why not watch something Industry related. Furthermore any show can have a lesson built in. The more you know about production the harder it can be to watch anything.

The Republicats have got to go!

The Republican game-plan is to obstruct every issue. Even ones that once were their own, as the country goes down the drain, just to blame the Democrats. I think it will work well for them, just not for the country.

The Simpsons Internet?

I count myself as a fan of The Simpsons. Some around me think I am a supper-fan. But it is the longest running show on television because it has a lot of fans. And has a lot of fans because of the great writing.

I Welcome Gay Killers

Here I am once again, a lonely Moderate who happens to believe that Gays can, do and should serve in the military. This of course makes my conservative family and friends a bit crazy.

Late Night TV Wars – Not a Laughing Matter

Talk about much ado about nothing! Lets just let the funnier hosts have the prime spots. Leno has always been a mainstream funny host with broad appeal. Letterman is so dry that the laughs are few and his bandleader seems to dull any moment he is on camera.

No Flu Shots for us!

I have been doing a bit of research and asking a lot of doctors about the flu vaccines. We have been leaning towards NOT vaccinating our children or ourselves but I want to do the right thing especially for our kids.

Stop trying to Save the Planet!

It is well past the time to STOP trying to save the planet. It is a bunch of talk, it is an emerging industry, it's a lot of bumper stickers... it is NOT working! It is time to change the focus to SAVING THE HUMANS!

Showcases / Cold Reading Workshops: Should you PAY to PLAY?

Tired of waiting for your manager/agent to get you an audition? As an actor I was always aware that my agent got 10% and should be counted on to earn it, also meaning that I should be doing 90% of the work. I never expected my rep to care more about my career than I did.

F U - Yusuf ... (and Ticket Master too)

As a big Cat Stevens fan I was appalled at his complicity in the decree of death known, as a fatwa, against Salman Rushdie (even though he later tried to deny it) followed by his admittance that his religion forbid his kind of music but was allowing it as he would be giving the p …

Andrew Jackson needs to be removed from the 20 dollar bill.

An image from our National Parks, monuments or most any other President, would be a better choice than the shameful choice of Jackson! Better yet, lets put Tecumseh, Sitting Bull or other Native on the bill.

Gay NOT Happy

So the California Supreme Court has upheld Proposition 8 and the gay fascist are all in a tither. Twice now we have voted to keep the definition as is. Our vote should be respected. It should not come as a surprise that gays can be as intolerant of other views as any other group.
