Still Funny, People

I've read the script. I've worked on the set. I've even chatted with the Sandman himself. But what I haven't done is tell them in 100 words or less why I should be in the next Judd Apatow film.

Phalco's own Mike Roach was so intrigued by the fact that Funny People DP, Janusz Kaminski, jogs everyday during lunch that he only had to use 16 words to tell them why he should be in the flick. Will he get the gig? Most likely he will, then they will see that he is affiliated with me and send a nice email asking for him not to return to set. Deja Vu?

"Sorry bro."

Fry-Day

So it's Friday and I thought we'd throw an old favorite out there for everyone to enjoy. This little ditty came out at a time when the beer flowed like boxed wine and life was just a little easier. The world has had a long few weeks, so take five minutes this morning, eat a bagel and enjoy some André 3000. Cheers!

Boycott?

This post is in response to This Post written earlier today.  The post described an event where a group of individuals harangued a local business owner who contributed some small amount of money to the campaign to ban gay marriage.  As one would imagine, the mob and the media presence caused the business owner a great deal of distress.  The group of protesters wanted to try to force the business owner to apologize or be punished with a boycott.  

I have a couple of opinions on the matter.  One, publicly assailing a person for something they believe isn't necessary.  This kind of physical pressure is dangerous and counter productive.  It can also undermine the type of argument the protesters want to make.  If the protestors want to convey that they should be able to live their lives without interference then they are better off not interfering with other peoples lives.  At least by means of harassment or humiliation.

Yet, I would support the idea of boycotting people that publicly supported or financed the gay marriage ban.  And I support that for the sole purpose that as a society that is based on consumerism the most tangible right you possess is where you spend the money you make.  So if you disagree with someone you have no right to impose yourself on their rights but you also shouldn't be obligated to compensate them either.  In this capacity you aren't interfering with anyones life but rather expressing your right as a consumer.  

So, in conclusion, research your purchases.  If you don't want to support a particular establishment because you don't believe what they stand for then don't.  Don't light shit on their door step; just don't go there.  If you don't like black babies getting their arms cut off stop buying diamonds.  If you don't like Indonesian kids working 16 hours a day for a handful of rice stop buying 2 dollar flip-flops.  And if you don't like your local burger joint contributing to get gay marriage banned eat a waffle.

Erase The Hate

As reported earlier this week by The Boil's New York corespondent, Keith Olbermann, we here at Phalco Films obviously stand for and support same-sex marriage, different-sex marriage and marriage to a big old rhino if that is your thing. But what we don't stand for are idiots who ruin someone's life because they're angry, upset and disagree.

Earlier today my dear friend and WOW Report editor, Stephen Saban posted this. I knew a little about the situation last night from hearing things around town, but hoped that what I was hearing was untrue. Sadly it isn't. After a week of peaceful protests, colorful signs and voices being heard all through out our nation, several supporters of NO on Prop 8 have now joined together to ban and boycott the El Coyote restaurant in Los Angeles. Why you ask? Because a women took her rights as an American and supported something that in her opinion wasn't right. I decided to post a comment under one of my many alter ego's to express my opinion on how awful, hypocritical and hateful this whole situation is.

Robert Zimmerman writes:

This is wrong. I 100% disagree with YES on Prop 8, but isn't this getting out of hand? Her opinion is her own opinion and she is allowed to express that opinion because she is an American. In my opinion it is completely wrong to keep two people from being able to share in the bond of marriage, but to force someone to apologize which leads them to shaking and crying is total bullshit. I understand you're upset, and I understand that this isn't fair and I stand behind all of you 100%, but this isn't right. Be the better person and let her live her life just like you're asking to live yours. This will pass I promise you that and I look forward to when it does. But it's not going to pass this way. "The ban is on. BOYCOTT EL COYOTE and any business that supports yes on 8". -- Give me a break, you just sound like an idiot. Be the better person because the last thing our country needs is more hate. Remember what your mother taught you, "two wrongs don't make a right."

Love Me Those Obama's!

It sometimes just feels good to win one.  Sorry Karl Rove.

How would you like it if you couldn't marry who you love?

Bush Is Over

This morning I got chills as I watched President Bush meet with his cabinet to discuss the transition to President Elect Barack Obama. It felt weird to feel a chill while watching Dubya on the screen. Most of the time I am trying to figure out if it's really him or just some random SNL sketch featuring Will Farrell. Bush laid down a few jokes and reminded the crowd that terrorist stopping and freedom are still this nation's number one priority. A few cheers came from the crowd and for the first time in almost two years a twinkle came to Bushy's eye. It was like he just scored the game winning touchdown. I mean what could of possibly went through his mind there? Did those few cheers, which were almost overpowered by crickets, really make him feel confident in his Presidency? Who the fuck knows. This guy just doesn't get it. Oh well, it's over. Finally fucking over. I now look forward to running into GW at a bar in Texas someday. We can sit, pound brews and talk baseball. It will finally give him a chance to do something he is good at.

January 20, 2009 ...We can not wait.

... You know if its not raining and nothing good is on TV.

I DO want to ride it all night long.

I set my entire iPhoto library to my screen saver over the weekend and spent a lot of time just sitting and watching. While I watched Tom Cochran's "Life Is A Highway" played on repeat in my head. It was awesome.
