and that is only after seeing half of it. Drum-roll please. . .
There are so many people in this movie. Dude from Reno 911- Yeah he is in it.
Granted I haven’t seen a lot of the other choices for the Oscars this year. Why so many? Last year I said, I was going to have an Oscar party. It didn’t happen. I am OK with that.
Definitely when I get my ballot in the mail this year, I’m writing in Black Dynamite- fool is a bad ass with the nunchucks- if you know what is good for you- you will too.
Dude has a 40 inch standing vertical jump, a 63 inch standing box jump and can do 33 consecutive pullups (among other things), and he directs and edits. Dude is like a superhero, like Chuck Norris or something.
If so National Geographic wants to talk to you. Their show Locked Up Abroad is looking for stories.
- Have you ever ended up in a foreign prison?
- Have you ever been kidnapped or taken hostage while traveling overseas?
- Would you like the chance to tell your story?
If so, they have a Craigslist Ad up. You might become famous.
Dumbworld recently took the show on the road to Chicago. One thing that we brought back with us was an appreciation for a good museum (the Field Museum and the Museum of Science and Industry were a nerd’s paradise). Museums are where they hide a lot of the cool stuff.
Sacramento has some pretty good museums of its own. The Crocker Museum is always interesting, and it is always free on Sundays, from 10am-1pm. The Crocker is a good place to take a date, especially if she is a nerd, as it makes you seem cultured and is easy on the wallet (in these tough economic times). Or if you are really trying to make a good impression (and spend little or no money), take said date out on February 6th for Sacramento Museum Day. You get free admission to a slew of museums, which I am told are guaranteed to get the juices flowing. If you can somehow pull a “hey, let’s celebrate Valentines Day a week early this year”- now you’ve killed two birds with one stone.
Sac Music Seen pairs local musicians with local filmmakers to create music videos. Dumbworld has participated a few times, and it is always good to see your work on the big screen (which is always a learning experience). The deadline for music submissions is March 26th. See sacfilm.com for more info.
This can’t be real, can it? What’s happening Mussolini?
Italy’s Berlusconi regime, already known around the world as an enemy of free speech and popular access to the tools of communication, has now floated a proposal to require Italians to get an “uploader’s license” in order to put any “moving pictures” on the Internet. via Boing Boing
