And I'll try to be more diligent about posting to the blog and adding clever videos for all to see.<br /><br />See you in the Spring.RADAR[THEORY]http://www.blogger.com/profile/08025177292757369444noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250852626310777395.post-82059690978250669812008-12-24T09:49:00.001-05:002008-12-24T09:49:05.637-05:00A Christmas Story- Gangsta Remix<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><p><object height='350' width='425'><param value='http://youtube.com/v/wIEFTlNYnVw' name='movie'/><embed height='350' width='425' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' src='http://youtube.com/v/wIEFTlNYnVw'/></object></p><p>HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!</p></div>RADAR[THEORY]http://www.blogger.com/profile/08025177292757369444noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250852626310777395.post-35342636432970791082008-12-15T15:18:00.000-05:002008-12-15T15:19:01.554-05:00Special Holiday Seasonal Affective Remedy Episode<div>Happy Holidays everyone! </div><div>If you're into that sort of thing.</div><div><br /></div><div>For those confused and depressed by the increasingly gloomy and cold days and nights of winter, I've come up with a special Holiday Seasonal Affective Remedy Episode;</div><div>an evening of fun, silly and colorful short videos guaranteed to brighten your spirits, holiday or otherwise.</div><div><br /></div><div>It's also the final Secret Movie Night of 2008, a most historic occasion indeed.

Obviously quite short. This week I'd like to mix it up with either a couple shorts and a feature or a selection of longer short works. Still undecided on this.

No, more like incredibly frightening.<br />But I was heartened to see <a href="http://www.thenation.com/doc/20080929/goldberg">this article</a> in The Nation. It only supports my belief that Sarah Palin represents merely the far right fringe of American women. Pro war, anti-choice, anti teen pregnancy support (clearly she is no fan of irony). Nothing like turning back women's rights a few decades.<br />So I'm glad to see that an anti-Palin rally in Alaska can be so successful. If only the rest of country can get motivated on this. If not, Secret Movie Night may be moving to Canada.RADAR[THEORY]http://www.blogger.com/profile/08025177292757369444noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250852626310777395.post-48525550357887624842008-09-12T16:44:00.003-04:002008-09-12T17:06:15.811-04:00This one is for RoseOn Monday my friend and coworker Rose Long was the unfortunate victim of a hit and run while cycling with a friend. <br />I say victim because this was clearly no accident. The driver, 22 year old Adam Desjardin, was driving his SUV on a suspended license, failed to yield on a left turn and drive through Rose. After this, instead of taking responsibility for his criminal actions, he fled the scene.<br />Read the <a href="http://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080912/NEWS02/809120311&s=d&page=1#pluckcomments">Burlington Free Press article here</a>.<br /><br />Amazingly, this asshole actually pled not guilty. As if he had somehow had the right as a vehicle operator to drive into another person.<br /><br />While Rose will certainly recover (she's an amazing person and incredibly positive and resilient) she is currently dealing with severe facial lacerations, a collapsed lung, a broken wrist and a broken jaw, nose and pallet, shattered bones in her forehead and alot of missing teeth. On Thursday she underwent reconstructive facial surgery.<br /><br />There may be no limit to my utter sense of anger and disgust at this tragedy. If justice does not prevail in this case then what chance does this world have for survival? <br />But most of all, my thoughts will be with Rose and her family as she recovers.<br /><br />I'd love to be able to focus on movies right now. But there will be time for that later. Rose was also a fan of Secret Movie Night. And I'm sure that everyone at SMN wishes her the best.RADAR[THEORY]http://www.blogger.com/profile/08025177292757369444noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250852626310777395.post-63720034814856656952008-09-07T18:51:00.001-04:002008-09-07T18:51:18.936-04:00GREMLINS vs. BATMAN....sort of<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><p><object height='350' width='425'><param value='http://youtube.com/v/REGCV6z3VkM' name='movie'/><embed height='350' width='425' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' src='http://youtube.com/v/REGCV6z3VkM'/></object></p><p>Filmmaker Sacha Feiner has made a fun short with some rather clever insertion of Gremlins into various popular films, including Batman, Goonies and the Exorcist.</p></div>RADAR[THEORY]http://www.blogger.com/profile/08025177292757369444noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250852626310777395.post-64922233353017193192008-08-27T11:45:00.000-04:002008-08-27T11:49:02.723-04:00Get on your bike for polo action<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://burlingtonfreepress.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080827/NEWS02/80826048&referrer=FRONTPAGECAROUSEL"><img style="display:block;

The crowds are fantastic. Standing room only and the film programs well-received. The last screening was perhaps the most successful yet. One of the largest crowds and possibly my tightest program yet.
