Happy 35th to Star Wars

 Star Wars, my dear old friend *sniff*, how you’ve kept my imagination spinning constantly - thank you!

Like a P-I-M-P

 Everyone who knows me, knew this was comin’. Star Wars info: here and here

Amaru Action scene Test

Want some AMARU footage? Here’s a quick Rough cut of  a scene I’m working on:  No post audio (there’s 2 characters yelling outside that I haven’t added, and ambient sounds/breathing) and  no Color Correction/Grading or subtitles yet. I’m starting to roll her out - Enjoy!

Balderassi and Waits sandwich? DON'T hold the Mayo.

I may not agree on some of your policies and politically strategies (nor your party…or the other party for that matter), and if this is a strategy, well at least it’s the right one:

President Obama openly supporting Gay Marriage, thanks. Let’s see what happens in November - D’oh!

Oh, very special thanks to Joe “Where’s the party?” Biden.

Inspiring a lil' Cuad toward adventure

Imagine a fiery lil’ precocious kid, building canoes and paddles from cardboard boxes, paper rolls and broomsticks, and suiting up in his warmest pajamas, ready for his journey down the shallow creek near the back of an old italian farm…Thanks, Maurice…without reading any of your books, that five year-old plopped in the middle of a foreign country would have never ventured out. By the way, the boat sank;)

Maurice Sendak (1928-2012)

Nationalism is Dead

I thought this was pretty funny…then pretty sad.
