Film School: Beowulf

\I heard something yesterday that incredibly angers me, but that might be for a later time. Here is a new episode of film school about the movie Beowulf. Jay is getting pretty good at the editing. Now if only I were to improve we might have something here. VIDEO DELETED

Film School: Calm Down

This episode is devoted to a movie made by a co-worker’s cousin. There is a prize for any person can figure out what word has been censored. VIDEO DELETED

American Gangster

This blog is 89 views away from 10,000! That might not be many views for you, but it is a lot for me so bugger off. No, I don’t mean that. Keep coming back. What a great weekend to be a Cyclone! In reality it is always a great Cyclone… Read More »American Gangster

Wristcutters: A Love Story

Just to explain what is going on in this video, somehow the original recording was lost. Jay recapped what I said with my good buddy Emperor Solar System. VIDEO DELETED

Michael Clayton

Here is another episode of film school. Ummmm . . . I sure like to ramble and I think I actually discuss this movie for about 10 seconds of the 2 minutes of actual screen time. I need to start preparing for this stuff. Apparently I can’t just sit down… Read More »Michael Clayton

Clearing My Head

I’ve been sick lately. Without going into too much detail, about the color and size of things that have been extracted from my body lately I will just say that I’ve never been one to let me body dictate to me my social engagements. That is unless my body just… Read More »Clearing My Head

Calm Down

I work with this guy that has a cousin that makes movies. He recently loaned me a copy of his cousin’s most recent epic. It is about vampire and a gang of high school kids killing the vampires. No matter what prism you look through, it just isn’t very good.… Read More »Calm Down

Darjeeling Redux

Here is the “completed” version of the Darjeeling Limited review. It is in two parts and is still way too long. The only real difference is Jay threw on some and some credits. There is hopefully 5 new reviews on the way. Principal photography has been completed on reviews for… Read More »Darjeeling Redux

The Hot Hand

I’m not a big gambler, but the last two wagers I have participated in, I have been the victor. This entry is really just a reminder to Jesse that in a little more than 2 months we will be sitting in theatre watching the movie below on his dime because… Read More »The Hot Hand

FTP Issues

So a guy I work with hosts my website on his server. This is a pretty good deal for me because he doesn’t charge me a plum nickel and I get pretty much all the space I could ever want. However, he recently moved my website to a different server.… Read More »FTP Issues

Prison Overcrowding

I don’t want to pile on, but what has been happening with the Iowa football team this season is a disgrace and an embarrassment to the state of Iowa. I’ve always thought that Ferentz was a great coach and I know that nobody can control 125 or so hormonal, young… Read More »Prison Overcrowding

Curious

So I’ve begun the task of creating the Photography 139 calendar. I printed out a few test images and hung them on my wall at the mine. I took some sticky notes and numbered them 1 through 12. Then I thought about my very general rules for selecting pictures to… Read More »Curious

Experiment

Tried some stuff tonight. I can’t really explain it. Except to say that these are not manipulated in Photoshop.

A Great Saturday

Many great things happened on Saturday. Iowa State beat Kansas State I got to take my nephew Johnathan to his first ever Cyclone football game. I got to tailgate with the Fausts, Willy, Jay, and Derrick. Then just to put icing on the Great Day Cake: Kansas put up over… Read More »A Great Saturday

B.B.A.T.

This is a small collection of 4 different stories about 4 different people. Monica I really only wanted two birthday presents this past year. One was stained glass from Jen. I got that back in May. The second present was a painting from Monica. I got that on Wednesday. She… Read More »B.B.A.T.

Costumes

It was Beggars’ Night in Boone on Wednesday night. Thought I’d post a couple of pictures of some people who showed up on the porch.
