We were pulling twenty+ hour days and there were plenty of tense moments. Admittedly, the thing was a temper fueled money eating gauntlet we only barely survived. That being said, we conquered this shit. We stole its women and burned its village. All its treasure is ours.

Here is the team. From the left: Writer/Producer, Andy Martinez. Director, Jonathan Pulley, Director of Photography, Jason Kelley.

Here is director, Jonathan Pulley, on set during a contemplative moment. This setup was the first of a number of epic rigs.

Jason has a gift. In terms of raw creativity, I’m not sure I know anybody who can match him.

Justin Harrington. The face of Junk Tank.

You don’t even need to meet this guy to know he is the shit. Actor/Father, John Pulley.

X-factor, JorDan Fuiller.

Actress, Dana Blackstone. She rocked our world.

Jonny and Jason have known each other sense grade school. They are totally Matt Damon to each other’s Ben Affleck.

And as a bonus…here is a creepy mask…

Thanks to everybody who sacrificed, pitched in, and made it happen. It isn’t done yet but a big part of it is behind us. The sheer number of you who helped put it all together floors me. I have a great friends and a wonderful family. I’m very lucky to have worked with you all.

This peasant risks his life searching in this horribly polluted river for glass bottles and other things he can sell for a small profit. He will use the money to buy more bomb ass hats.

This image is so interesting because it mashes up a couple of different styles making it hard to pin down. The landscape is sort of crude impressionism but it’s really serving as a backdrop for the woman to cover up. That means what we are looking at is actually a painting of a women painting over a painting (or if you want to get super technical actually a digital photograph on your computer screen of a painting of a women covering up a painting). That sort of self-referentialism moves it into DaDa territory but limited only to the “this is not a pipe” kind of DaDa.

It’s not exactly a Venus or anything but it is the female form. The upskirt angle is certainly provocative I would say borderline porny. And what does it mean that she’s white washing over nature? Does she look so caught in the act because her underwear is showing or because we caught her covering up the mural?

I couldn’t find anything about the artist other than it’s part of flickr user Trentcall’s series of similar images. Check them out.

I don’t know exactly what happened, but this website was hacked. According to my Mom, at some point yesterday there was a weird message (she called it “Goth”) stating that I had been hacked. It took a few days, but now things seem back to normal.

I don’t know if it was my host or the hacker but now we’re back up. I’m just happy I didn’t have to reinstall anything and I didn’t lose my posts!

We’re working on a little side project at the moment. We did some filming the other day.

The Harrington Brothers are the most hardcore people I know at the moment. They’re like a couple of shifty outlaws I met in a saloon or some shit.

Chris is pure evil. But Justin has a soft side…

It turned into a jam session at some point. I didn’t know this until recently but Jason is an awesome songwriter.

Stay tuned.

I’ve really wrestled with who I want to be president. Since the beginning I’ve been for Hillary but I couldn’t figure out why. She voted for the war, she is a corporate candidate who unapologetically accepts money from lobbyists, and worst of all was recently all but endorsed by Ann Coulter!

It is also discouraging to hear who else supports Hillary Clinton: old people! I was devastated by this New York Times article titled: Is Obama a mac and Hillary a PC? Crap! I thought I was a Mac, I am definitely not a PC! Obama’s website is so awesome, the “features and elements are seamlessly integrated, just like the experience of using a program on a Macintosh computer.” I can’t even make it past the first page of Hillary’s website. Everything is written in all caps, it’s like the page is shouting at me and I need to run away.

To my great relief, Jack Tapper at ABC News has come to my rescue and articulated exactly was is so off putting about the Obama campaign:

Joe Klein, writing at Time, notes “something just a wee bit creepy about the mass messianism” he sees in Obama’s Super Tuesday speech.

“We are the ones we’ve been waiting for,” Obama said. “This time can be different because this campaign for the presidency of the United States of America is different. It’s different not because of me. It’s different because of you.”

Says Klein: “That is not just maddeningly vague but also disingenuous: the campaign is entirely about Obama and his ability to inspire. Rather than focusing on any specific issue or cause — other than an amorphous desire for change — the message is becoming dangerously self-referential. The Obama campaign all too often is about how wonderful the Obama campaign is. “

Wow, exactly right! Then he quotes somebody else:

The always interesting James Wolcott writes that “(p)erhaps it’s my atheism at work but I found myself increasingly wary of and resistant to the salvational fervor of the Obama campaign, the idealistic zeal divorced from any particular policy or cause and chariot-driven by pure euphoria. I can picture President Hillary in the White House dealing with a recalcitrant Republican faction; I can’t picture President Obama in the same role because his summons to history and call to hope seems to transcend legislative maneuvers and horse-trading; his charisma is on a more ethereal plane, and I don’t look to politics for transcendence and self-certification.”

For real! When people talk to be about Barack Obama they do it with the same sort of giddy idolation usually reserved for over hyped musicians or movies. If Barack Obama was screenwriter instead of a politician his name would be Diablo Cody.

@ Cinematical.

Ever since I was a little kid I’ve fantasized about getting in shape. Usually it involves some sort of long vacation or absence from my friends and family over which I work my gangly arms into thick man branches. When I return everybody is blown away by incredible transformation and visibly frightened by my awesome hulk.

Alas, I’ve never had the discipline necessary to stick to a strength program. Many times I’ve worked out a complete month only to gradually quit. A gym membership would be helpful, but I know it doesn’t even need to be overly rigorous; a daily habit of push-ups and sit-ups would go a long long way.

ABC-of-fitness.com is a free website with lots of cool animated tutorials on the proper way to do simple exercises like push-ups and sit-ups. The little flash animation of the man doing a push-up makes it look so easy! His tousled orange hair and muscle shirt are really inspiring.

I can’t tell you where this came from, but I assure you it is real.

Dear [redacted],

I know that at this point in your search for an assistant you might have encountered prospects that are more experienced and perhaps even more qualified then myself. I would therefore like to take this opportunity to share with you what sets me apart from them, something that in retrospect I may have failed to do at our last meeting. In response to your looking for someone who’s job it was to make your life easier, I would like to offer an addendum. I would also dedicate myself to helping you do your job better. I am ready and eager to commit myself fully to helping you make the most of your career and your art. I see this opportunity to be your assistant as more than a job, I see it as an apprenticeship to a professionally successful artist, and I can assure you with utmost confidence, that you have not met with anyone who will work harder for you then I will. These words might of course ring hollow in your ears seeing as how that last statement has become something of a cliché, nevertheless it is as true a thing as I am capable of communicating to you through this barrier of professional anonymity. Also I would like to touch upon one of my more unique skills in order to better represent what it is I can offer you. As you might recall I have developed quite the working relationship with the company I interned for last summer (references I urge you to call), most notably because of my ability to quickly master new tasks through observation. You who are no doubt a practical man might find the concept of paying for a dog masseuse for your two aging dogs laughable, however should you commission these services just once from a professional and I were in a position to observe it, I could acquire this new skill in order to provide it for your animals in the future, and perhaps make their trips up and down the stairs a bit less painful. A little strange? Yes. But I feel myself forced to make an impression after the “cold read” that was our first meeting. If though, you are simply looking for a run of the mill assistant to handle odd jobs and office work I doubt I am your man. If however you are looking for one whose skills are a bit more expansive I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

[redacted]
