The 2007 Fall Lineup has been announced and the theme for this year seems to be the interest in capturing the hearts & minds of Generation Y.
HBO is replacing the Sopranos time slot with the following new show.
Oprah is adding another show to the Harpo brand
After a year of wanting to finish a small video of last years Madhatter’s Ball in Chicago and many starts & stops I figured just to cut it where I left off and just post it. I didnt have alot of useable photos anyway so in celebration of last years Ball and this years coming one (which I cant make) here is the 2005 Madhatters Ball Revue. Just click the image to the left to start the show.
Here’s hoping everyone has a good time this year even without the art…..
The series on the other hand concerns me. There were two things that the Bond Series needed to do after the Brosnan run:
Two, James Bond needs to enjoy the job. You don’t need to watch the guy grimace and sweat every moment, or worse yet find no pleasure in the work. The 2 things that should be part of any Bond is a Tux and a smile. Connery did it best because he didn’t flinch much and had a devils smirk every now and then.
I know how I see the Bond character is not how everyone does and I don’t sacrifice the endless hours and money that Barbara Broccoli and her people do, but if the comic movie revolution has taught hollywood anything its the simple fact that if you don’t love and value a series and its small rules and qualities then the viewers will not come out to see it. The comparative profits from a Bryan Singer film as opposed to a Uwe Boll is quite large so if you cant understand the qualification of film-making hopefully people are not dense enough to miss the quantification of film box office receipts. If your too tired to be a guarding fan, hire one.
Back in 2003 I had a series of paintings put to video with music. After going through the archives I thought this also would be interesting to post agian and get feedback.The idea behind the series is a celebration of the people in our life, both good and bad. How they bring light and energy to our lives in much the same way as a dim and old film on a black wall. We have them and the dancing light they give off even if only for a second at a time then the rest of it we wait in the dark eager for the next sequence. Think of the people that give you hope, enjoyment, change. The people that even if they dont do everything you would want, when they are gone you want them back. Everything changes, life and moments are fleeting and always in flux. So remeber those who make your life brighter both pro and con. Even if its in the abstract cherish what you have and look forward to what’s to come.

Be in any industry long enough and you have to sit through a film crudely produced by a company in hopes of selling you some product, idea, or entirely new paradigm (or even the use of the new word paradigm). They often have graphics produced by preschoolers with clip art books and Elmers glue. Then add music ripped from a movie theater pre-show trivia soundtrack. One of the more interesting a friend sent me was for the “new” Dread Gun that is being produced in hopes of eliminating the need for chemical ammunition. Watch, enjoy and see the future of tomorrow just as the previous generation did when they saw the Jetsons.
