It has been 6 years since I first launched this blog on January 1, 2004.I am hereby officially retiring it. The past semester was extremely busy, and now that I've graduated it doesn't look like I'll have much time (or the desire) to post long, reflective posts about what's going on in my life. I'll be working full-time, researching grad school options, maintaining a new website and several

Been thinking a lot about how the media creates popular (mis)conceptions about important issues, since that's what we're currently discussing in one of my sociology classes.

The full trailer for the latest Michael Moore documentary (and potentially his last), Capitalism: A Love Story, has finally been released.Embedded video from CNN VideoI've been looking forward to this film for a variety of reasons. Not only do I happen to like the majority of Moore's films (particularly Bowling For Columbine and Roger & Me), but this one focuses on the common theme that runs

If I hear one more person at Blue Ridge complain loudly about how expensive concessions are, I'm going to lose it. If you are one of those people, here's some information that might interest you: 1) When most films are first released, the studios take roughly 80-90% of the money made off ticket sales. This gradually drops to 50-60% after a week or two, and over time declines until the theater

Don't worry, I'm still here.My trip to China went very well. I'm in the processing of uploading pictures to Facebook, and if you check my profile you can probably find a few from other people already up there. I'll try and post some more detailed thoughts about the trip when I have time.I've been back around a month, and in that time have managed to find 2 jobs, both at movie theaters. Hooray!

Please pray for my atheist co-host on Good God/No God, Kyle Burke.He was diagnosed with testicular cancer a few days ago. He is 22.After noticing some rapid swelling while on vacation, he went to the hospital, whereupon he was almost immediately given an inguinal orchietomy. The doctors have confirmed that it's definitely cancer, though they're waiting on the results of his CT scan to figure

So, after 2 weeks of extreme stress, another weekend has arrived. This weekend is still going to be a bit stressful. But at least the end is in sight.I went to Best Buy today and found that In Treatment has been released on DVD. Not only that, but the price tag said $19.99. I thought to myself, "A new HBO show that I want to see? For $20? Better take it while I have the chance."So I brought

Waiting for class to start, feeling overwhelmed by everything that must be accomplished this weekend and next week, along with Full Frame.I am overloaded. Which begs the question: how much of this my fault due to poor time management, and how much is outside my control due simply to being committed to too much stuff?Here is the paradox of the Protestant and capitalist work ethic: I'm supposed to

As I've been saying for ages: this is going to be the best movie of 2009.The teaser trailer has finally been released, and I feel high as a kite. It's like being a kid again. November can't come soon enough.

Because he's one of the few good, honest journalists left. Even though he hosts a comedy show, he isn't afraid to ask the tough questions and call out his guests on their screw-ups.For those of you who live overseas or don't keep up with the news, last week Stewart had "Mad Money" host Jim Cramer on The Daily Show and completely called him out on his mistakes leading up to the economic crisis.

Don't think I mentioned this. Last Friday, I spent around 6-7 hours in Schenk Forest, which is owned by NCSU and used to teach forestry students. It was raining. It was cold. It was muddy.Why did I do this? For the love of filmmaking, of course!Evidently, the ROTC officers at NCSU want to spice up their website by including some sort of marketing/promotional video. Or something like that.

And kill him simultaneously.Just got back from the midnight showing of Watchmen. All I will say is this: I spent the first half of the film (mostly) thinking: "Holy crap. The freakin' 300 guy has done it! He's pulled it off! He's filmed the unfilmable!"About mid-way through the film, though, things start to slip from his fingers, and he never fully gets it back.

This feels like a completely new experience. I don't have any papers or projects hanging over my head. I can sleep in. I can make my own schedule.Is there anybody out there who will pay me to sit on my butt and watch movies all day? Because I'll totally do it.

So, the Oscars are tonight. And while, as I've spoken about on RandomChatter, this year's list of nominees is probably the worst I've ever seen, there are a few bright spots that I hope don't get ignored.One of the big ones is Mickey Rourke's performance in The Wrestler. Not only is The Wrestler a great film that should have garnered a Best Picture nomination and a nod to Darren Aronofsky as

My Singles Awareness Day party last weekend went well. About 20 people showed up. It didn't finish until 6 AM the next day. It was quite an interesting evening, which I spent sipping a martini, playing various games, and in general just keeping an eye on things and having a good time. Also, according to someone who was extremely drunk at the time, I "swindled" people out of their money and "

Congress finally reached a deal on the stimulus plan.In order to appease Republicans, spending on education and health programs was cut back and replaced with tax cuts. According to the New York Times, about $70 billion was allocated just to fix the alternative minimum tax, which doesn't really have much to do with economic stimulus and which many people thought was going to get fixed later this

So, for the past month or so I have been without an iPod. Amidst the intense and stressful period that was the end of last semester, I managed to misplace my iPod nano. It is the only iPod I have ever owned, and I've had it for a decent period of time. A couple years or so. It's taken its share of wear and tear, but it's still working as well as it did the day I opened the box.I looked in my

The first Good God/No God episode of 2009 (episode #14 total) has been posted, and it's on a topic that I've written about here numerous times and that has been in the news a lot lately: homosexuality.It is probably my favorite episode that we've recorded so far, if only because our discussion gets pretty in-depth and we talk about a bunch of little sub-issues related to homosexuality, marriage,

A few days ago the latest issue of Newsweek revealed the source that led to the uncovering of the Bush administration's warrantless wiretapping. Thomas Tamm is his name, and he's been labeled by some as this generation's Deep Throat. I find that appropriate since so many of the current administration's key officials also worked for Nixon.The piece in Newsweek can be found here. Tamm's

I've nearly finished my new short film, Lemon Meringue Pie, a dark comedy about sex and death. I made a B+ on it for class, and I need to tighten up some of the editing.

If you don't know what it's about, all I will say is that it's a Swedish movie about a vampire. It's basically the anti-Twilight. That's all you need to know. I think it's

This was too funny not to share, though naturally a gross oversimplification of the issue.

Bill Maher had the season finale of his show this past Friday. Overall, I found it to be one of his better episodes. The panel was really solid. Check out their discussion in which they talk everything from Proposition 8 to the legalization of marijuana to the McCain campaign. Newsweek editor Jon Meacham is right on the money and even Ashton Kutcher had some surprisingly insightful things to

Friday night, I went to a benefit screening of the sample reel of a documentary I worked on over the summer. I then stayed up late talking with my aunt, who was in town and crashed at my place. On Saturday night, I got 3 hours of sleep since I was up preparing to start production on my final video project. Our lead actress and her friend crashed at my place. I spent all day yesterday filming.

Remember that Cloverfield promo I did last semester when the Films Committee brought the film to NCSU? I helped film another one this weekend for The Dark Knight. Another committee member ended up editing it, and I provided suggestions along the way. I think it turned out pretty well.

In case you haven't heard, last Wednesday's episode of South Park was about the election.Matt Parker and Trey Stone, the show's creators, took a huge gamble and trusted the polls and animated most of the episode before the election assuming Obama would win. They then went back and animated some of the opening speech segments once they really happened in time for it to air the next evening.It's

Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church announced last week they'll be picketing the funeral of Obama's grandmother.I know it isn't very Christ-like, but there's a part of me that really can't wait for this guy to die.

Yes, it's late, but I have a very busy weekend ahead of me and don't know when I'll get around to posting again, so I figured I might as well go ahead and put down some stuff that's been on my mind recently. It's 2 AM, so I probably won't be as coherent as I'd like, but at least it's something.Here are some random thoughts related to minorities and American democracy:1) We may have the first

So.While CNN and the other news networks were all talking about Obama, evidently Proposition 8 quietly passed in California.This is the amendment to their constitution which bans same-sex marriage. This comes just a few months after same-sex unions were legalized.I am rather flabbergasted and upset at this news. Though I still find "gay marriage" to be a gray issue, I support homosexuals being

Obama won Ohio at around 9:15, after which it was pretty much over. Hagan beat Dole by 9 percent. I'm so glad.The NC results still aren't finalized, but it looks like we're going to end up going Obama, Hagan, Perdue and have a majority of House representatives be Democrat.I have regained some faith in America.

I'm planning on going to vote early on Friday morning. I've known for a while that I'll be voting Obama for the presidency, but I don't know as much about the state and local candidates. In terms of the North Carolina race for the Senate, I interviewed the Libertarian candidate, Christopher Cole, a few weeks ago and he seemed like a cool guy. I don't agree with him on everything (particularly

From last Thursday:Embedded video from CNN VideoAs usual, I think he's a bit close-minded when it comes to religion, but as far as political pundits go he's one of the better ones when it comes to cutting to the crux of issues.

It seems like all of my major projects are all occurring around the same time. Here's what I've got going on:1) Still finishing up a short film for my video production class. We finally finished reshoots last night. Still have to finalize the edit.2) Despite the fact that this project isn't finished and won't be due for another week, our teacher went ahead and told us to storyboard our final

I attempted to gather a group of theists and atheists together to go see it tonight, but unfortunately the Homecoming parade was tonight and everyone was busy, so I ended up going by myself.

Hopefully they won't interrupt each other too much and this will be fairly easy to do...THE BAILOUT BILL:Biden: Way to be political and not answer the question.

I have no idea how much sense this transcript will make, but here it is, exchange by exchange, in order according to the question/issue.THE FINANCIAL CRISIS: Obama: A good overall plan, but nothing we haven't heard already.

So I finished reading Pagan Christianity by Frank Viola and George Barna.Wow. What a book. Viola has been called the leader of "a new Reformation" by some, and I can definitely see why. This book is basically a giant middle finger aimed at the institutional church. Well, it's not that disrespectful - Viola really does seem like he wants to help bring about positive change, and doesn't want to

So, an interesting idea was brought to my attention today.Isn't Sarah Palin really just Laura Roslin from Battlestar Galactica? I mean, Laura Roslin didn't have much political experience. But she was thrown into leadership after the Cylons wiped out the human race, and though it's been a bumpy ride, overall she's done a great job! Who's to say Palin can't do that?The answer: No one.

Found this story while looking for news for GG/NG.The Pope isn't as classy as people think.The very fact that this is deemed news-worthy boggles my mind.

Cool experience of last week: I was at Barb's when Lucifer attacked.By Lucifer, I mean a snake. And by attacked, I mean slithered around and looked menacing.Barb and I were getting ready to head to a local thrift shop to hopefully find me some furniture. I was following her around seeing if there were any last-minute things to take care of, when she walks into her room and out of nowhere

George Carlin is dead. 71 years old. Heart failure.I haven't heard a lot of his comedy, and what I have has been hit-and-miss, but the dude will go down in history. I'll always remember him as the cardinal in Dogma. He was very honest and outspoken in his opinions, and did a great job of pointing out the humorous, offbeat and at times nonsensical things in life. Not to mention raising

Work's going fine. Lately I've been watching and summarizing a ton of news clips from the past few months. Bush should be impeached, or at least investigated. Seriously. When you see all the stories lined up one-by-one that indicate there's probably a great deal of lying and corruption going on, there's not much room for doubt. If Clinton can get impeached for lying about a blowjob, surely

I mentioned a few posts ago that I've been listening to a lot of atheist and Christian podcasts, both to know the various sides of arguments so I'm better prepared for Good God/No God, and also for my own personal benefit and knowledge. Today I watched an anti-Christianity documentary for similar reasons. I had heard it was pretty good, and they interview Robert Price (the "Bible Geek" guy from

I just finished watching the mid-season finale of the fourth and final season of Battlestar Galactica.Though it had a few small flaws, this was overall a great episode. I had predicted how it would end from the very beginning of this season, but the final seconds threw in some interesting details I hadn't expected. I think I'm finally starting to understand what is meant by the show's

Found an interesting article adapted from a longer work published by Barbara on independent filmmaking in a capitalist society. She goes into a lot of detail about her experience in Panama filming The Panama Deception. Check it out here.Crashing at her place for 2-3 nights starting tomorrow. I'll be away from my Mac and won't have a television in my room. Maybe I can use my time there (when

I saw a tape of the segment we filmed a week ago that was aired on HITN (the huge Spanish network). It turned out pretty well. Unfortunately, it's not on the website so unless you caught it on television you probably won't be able to see it. Bummer.In other news, I just saw the trailer for Bill Maher's documentary, Religulous. I will definitely have to go see this movie, and maybe talk about

My apartment is starting to come together. I've got a full-sized bed, a recliner, a computer desk and a chest of drawers (with tv on top) in my room. And I have space to walk around. This is so much better than living in a dorm room. The other day I found a bookshelf in prime condition that someone had just left out by the dumpster. It is now sitting in my closet (might as well use it for

Sydney Pollack is dead. I didn't even realize he had cancer.I stood inches away from this guy at Full Frame three years ago.He was a talented actor and director. I am sad.

So, for those of you who don't know, I got the job in Chapel Hill. I'm working for Barbara Trent and David Kasper over at the Empowerment Project. They both won Oscars for directing and producing the 1992 documentary The Panama Deception, and are super cool.The first week of work has gone pretty well. I've mainly been transcribing footage from Kasper's latest project - basically, I'm watching

The first episode of Good God/No God has been released. It's just an introduction to the show and what it is all about. Hopefully a real episode will be out next Friday.So yeah. You should all subscribe to the show through iTunes and listen. All the cool kids are doing it.

I have a job interview tomorrow in Chapel Hill. I'm really hoping I get the position.Haven't been doing much except eat, sleep, watch movies and work on getting this study abroad promotion video edited. Also, this is rather random and out of nowhere, but a guy I know online and I are starting a religious-themed podcast. Hopefully we'll be able to stay consistent with it and it will be an

Yay.Also, for those of you who haven't heard, please tune in to the podcast I am co-hosting, MovieChatter. I also make occasional guest appearances on its parent show, RandomChatter.

Today I met Sean Astin - that's Samwise Gamgee in the Lord of the Rings movies, for those of you who don't know - on campus. I was walking down the hall and saw a flyer saying that he was going to be at NC State to promote the Hillary Clinton campaign. How was this not advertised? About forty to fifty people showed up to hear him speak, and I think a lot more would have come out if they had

My exercise in spiritual discipline is going well, though I'm having mixed results. I stayed perfectly on schedule for the first half of the week, but during the second half got off schedule and would miss either the meditation or the Scripture reading every day. I've stayed on schedule with the calls to prayer, though. Here's the lowdown on every element so far:Calls to Prayer - These range

As mentioned yesterday, I have been thinking about engaging in a spiritual experiment/exercise in order to improve my spiritual discipline and hopefully come to a richer encounter with God. After careful thought and prayer, I have decided to go ahead with it. I feel like though I am constantly thinking about God and reflecting on spiritual matters, there is something missing in my spiritual

Monday night, I went to a screening of For The Bible Tells Me So, a fantastic documentary I had already seen at Full Frame in 2007 that brings up interesting issues related to the intersection and conflict between Christianity and homosexuality. I also interviewed the director, Dan Karslake (you can read the article I wrote for the paper on my blog), who is one of the nicest filmmakers I've ever

Full Frame was great. I'll try and post a detailed recap of everything on my film blog within the next week or two, but it'll have to wait until after this week, since I'm insanely busy - to give you an idea, I just pulled an all-nighter writing some articles for the paper and getting some recordings ready for the podcast. I've got a paper due tomorrow on a book I haven't read, and a paper due

It's 4 AM, but at last I'm organized and ready to go.In less than 12 hours, I'll be with James watching the first of 15-20 films at Full Frame.See you on the other side.

So the other night I was hanging out with Mason playing Super Smash Bros. A bunch of people were there, including some girls I had never met before. I got to talking with one of them (whose name shall remain anonymous) and we kinda hit it off. Turns out she's studying film at Peace College a few miles down the road from State. We talked about movies, life at college, her family, etc. Nothing

I just realized that Season 4 of Battlestar Galactica premieres this Friday, not next week as previously thought.The problem: I will be at Full Frame this weekend. I can't have both things. FRAK!I guess I'll have to wait and watch the rerun before the second episode. Noooooooooooooooooo!

And now it's time for further reflection on the statements I posted yesterday.Christianity is the craziest of all religions.This thought came to me when I was pondering how I often see other Christians (as well as myself) characterize certain aspects of other religions as "crazy." By that, I mean they assume that the main reason another religion can't be true is because its beliefs are simply

So I was walking along today thinking about Life of Pi and other religions and how as Christians we often characterize them, and I had a sudden thought:"Christianity is the craziest of all religions. This is okay."And a few hours ago, I was walking back from small group, and had another "epiphany." I like walking alone in the dark, it gives me a short time to reflect on things without a lot of
