The Whiteman Brothers are at it again and I can’t wait to see their latest work in its entirety. I guess I’m going to have to wait because all I got was this little teaser that I nabbed from Jesse’s space. Maybe this is all I’m going to get- a trailer to loop for an hour and a half and make up my own story to go along with it. Perhaps it’ll be some wonderful Space SciFi fantasy piece where we discover that we’re really mutated souls on some in-between plane where live beings who look completely different than we do (because we’re now disfigured mutated souls… we’re what happens after you die) they’re telling chilling stories about us from tales that stem from a man who happened upon our kind several centuries ago- a rip the in fabric causes us to be spotted again and this time we see THEM. Our truth spilled into our world where we find the portal into death is what we’ve always thought was the beginning of life… or hopefully I can just watch the film when the time comes and not get into screen writing at all.

Here’s the trailer/teaser/they can see you and you can’t see them- you think you’re looking at a trailer of an upcoming indie film but in all actuality they just threw some thing together so they could steal your stuff while you’re not looking (I made that up I think)

Evil Spirit From the Sun - TEASER from TheWhitemanBrothers on Vimeo.

I’ve yet to get my laptop fixed. My mean, cruel, idiotic, stupid, horrid, dumb, moronic… you get the picture. There is ONE benefit in using my HDTV as my desktop computer monitor (because sitting in the middle of my living room- typing so the whole world can see what I’m writing is not a benefit.) I can watch films/shows off the internet properly.

Amazon sent me a link to their new “Videos On Demand” and I was able to watch (for free) the new pilots and season premier’s of shows yet to air! Yay me and all the other people who have done that. The bonus part of going there other than seeing shows before they air? No commercial interruption (unlike Hulu)! The rest of the viewing… well it’ll cost you a little to watch shows/films et al. I don’t think it’ll be worth it considering the films run the same to rent as it does at the local video store and much more than Netflix or Blockbuster. This poses a problem for people such as myself. Usually when I rent a DVD I don’t watch the entire thing the same night. In fact, it may take several attempts to view one movie (depending on what’s going on in my life).

Tonight I had the daunting task of telling a young fan of the King that he… “The King” was dead and had been dead for a very long time- 31 years ago to be precise. I remember because it was the year my sister was born and I blamed her for his death.

I was standing in the living room singing some Elvis again while we looked at the Isla pictures and Jonathon asked where he was. I looked at him with a suspicious mind and told him that he was dead. “WHAT???? HE’S DEAD?!?!?!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When did THAT happen????!?!?!” I guess with so many platforms to keep a memory alive these days- perhaps one might overlook a 3 decade long death? Either that or just plain old bad parenting! BAD MOMMY BAD!

I think I’ll wait for the weekend before I break the news of Bruce Lee.

Here’s a little something in honor of The King.

Finally children get their voice heard when it comes to Health Care issues. For years, including many moons ago when I was a child, the pleas of not going to the doctor fell on deaf ears. Thanks to the Onion News Network, light is finally shed on this oh so dark issue that is filled with forced vaccinations and well child check ups.

Today was a wonderful day. I took my offspring out to lunch and then some shopping (and getting toys for little Isla who will be born any day now… little Winnie the Pooh- old style- finger puppets that I plan on tickling her little tummy with ) and then after I dropped Ashley off demanding that she give birth STAT, Jonathon and I came home to play some old school video games from Namco.

Yes, it was a very good day- and a very tearful evening. (sniff) It was another evening where I stepped on my exercise machine to work during a film and the film I happened to pick was one that taunted me the majority of the day. I hadn’t heard about it, but while I was tryinig to search for a movie to use my free Redbox coupon for (I bought a large iced coffee at McDonalds) I saw ‘An American Crime’. The more I couldn’t find a copy on Redbox, at Hollywood Video and it was a short wait on Netflix… the more I HAD to see it!

I won’t tell you *how* I came across the film… I’ll just say “Barbwire fences, shotguns, trenches, 3.4 corpses and some moonshine.” and I’ll leave it at that and allow your imagination to figure out how I happened to get a hold of a copy.

The remark I made about Ellen Page after seeing The Fragments of Tracey or Tracey Fragments or Fragile Rock Tracey… something like that… I take it back.

An American Crime is haunting, captivating, disturbing and I cried non-stop the last fifteen minutes of the film and seriously… I need a hug

I have the trailer to share and synopsis, and I beg everyone to view this movie. Not because it’s disturbing or mentally damaging… but because it teaches a valuable lesson of stepping in.

Here’s the trailer…

Here’s the Synopsis:
Based on a shocking true story, director Tommy O’Haver’s grisly drama centers on Indiana housewife and mother Gertrude Baniszewski (Catherine Keener), who imprisons and tortures a 16-year-old girl in the basement. When Gertrude takes in boarder Sylvia Likens (Ellen Page), she has no idea that her life will soon become a horrific nightmare. The supporting cast includes Bradley Whitford as the prosecuting attorney at the ensuing trial.

I saw a thumb drive that had some of the NYC pieces on it (Joe Simon and Stan Lee) and then I noticed an entire folder I some how missed! Jenn’s NYC footage of parts of the trip. I’m going to *try* to upload it and share what I can It waas soooooooooo nice going down memory lane.

Here are the first two I’m sharing to test while I see how well I can upload videos on WP from my domain.

Empire State Building Elevator Ride and Wednesday Night Fights (when we just sat down)

More to come… if I can get this to work

First things first: I started my subscription to WoW- I hope I get to change my name… DawnMasuoka doesn’t sound too- World of Warcraft-y. I’m just waiting for the authentication keys to be sent and then I can start.

Second and last before I get to go finish God of War2:
We saw these troupe in April and despite some flaws that popped in my head pertaining to saber fighting, I thought they were pretty cool, especially in the off stage playing/practicing mode. SO- enjoy. I have three sabers, I can start my own troupe! Anyone care to join? Every scoffs at my light saber chandelier idea, so I might as well *use* them… as much as you can use lighted plastic sticks.
