Super bufundo on the early eve of your day.

Mini Media Fest:


If you haven't seen Waking Life yet, you are missing one of the best movies of the last century. It's old news to some, I know, but easy access to this film is difficult to come by in many places in this world. Namely, Oklahoma. I wanted to rent it for my nieces last time I was in the heartland, but couldn't find it anywhere. I talked to one librarian, and she said it dissappeared each time she replaced it. A community that censors togeather stays togeather...

Speaking of censorship:


The aniversary of the Peoples Revolt in Tieneman Square just passed. In this Documentary on the man that stood in front of the tanks, I discovered that current students that attend the school that started the revolt had never seen the picture of Tank Man, nor did they know much about the revolt. Mind boggling.


Just watched a great documentary on the only Heavy Metal band to come out of Baghdad. "Heavy Metal in Baghdad" is an amazing look inside Iraq, and the outside that the Iraqi's have been forced to flee to. These documentary film makers are my heros, just as much as those young men in the band, Acrassicauda. Part 1 of 7 above from YouTube (You can find a better resolution version of all 7 parts [5 to 6 min each], and extended clips @ VBS.TV



A strange little gem. This was a scene from a show that I had never seen, American Inventor. This clip struck me as a metaphor for what we, as a nation, could have done to George Bush and the Neo-Con agenda if representative politics still worked on a national level. In this clip, W and the Neo-Con base are represented by the Cowboy, and the four judges represent, say, a real representative Govenment.


Ok. One more Waking Life clip (I have a feeling I'll be posting them on a regular basis for a while).
