VIDEO. PYTHON LIFE OF BRIAN DEBATE

Funny to think the LIFE OF BRIAN Concept started as Eric’s joke of “Jesus Christ Lust for Glory” WOW how wonderful to have found this. I truly have felt inspired by the amazing creativity of Graham Chapman, Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin, John Cleese, Eric Idle and Terry Jones over the years. Amazing stuff. Just stumbled upon this on youtube after watching something dry about...

WRJ ON SCTV. I GET TO BE ON HALLOWED GROUND MAR 1.

I am so thrilled to yet again be going back to do a TV spot at CTV in Edmonton on March 1, 2013. This is the amazing place where SCTV was shot. Yep, Bob and Doug McKenzie, Bobby Bittman, Earl Camembert, Count Floyd, Dr. Tongue’s 3D house of Beef… and TEX AND EDNA Boyle! This truly is hallowed ground and I just loved that show (as some old blog postings will show (I even posted the...

BURNING MAN IMAGE. REMINISCING.

Hey wow. Just found this on my computer… This is me in my Utilikilt working on the computer inside of my tent at Burning Man a few years ago. That dust you see on my feet and kilt and computer is… well… everywhere! It is so highly alkali too that many creative sorts have an array of treatment recipes to stop feet from cracking. As I recall Vinegar worked well. I could post an...

BUILT A STEADY CAM RIG FOR VIDEO CAMCORDER. EASY PEASY.

Hey, so this is not going to replace a super fancy steady cam rig of any sort, but this works well to minimize some jarring movements. I found the how to on the web and it was easy and cheap to build $10 max I bet plus hockey tape cost. Anyway the three grip points allow you to spread out how the camera is held and it can be moved more gently. I think it works just fine. A steady cam rig that is...

VIDEO. 7 PSYCHOPATHS WORTH SEEING.

Wow. I was so impressed. I love a complicated story too. Saw this flick a couple nights ago at the Rio theatre (which is so much more fun than Cine-dork) and was really entertained, shocked and amused too. Laughed out a loud more than a few times too. Great flick. I was not as giddy for In Bruges, but this really hits the mark. Interested to hear what others think. Although I think you should...

VIDEO. COMEDIANS IN CARS. MEL BROOKS!

You have to see this great little piece that Jerry Seinfeld has been doing… Comedians in Cars getting Coffee. This is 17 minutes long but worth seeing. Mel Does not show up still second half, but just great stuff. I hope you like this too. They talk about Blazing Saddles, Get Smart, etc.

VIDEO. ROMNEY SINGS CONCESSION SPEECH.

Mitt Romney Sings his Concession speech! Maybe failure for him isn’t so bad. Can’t help but add that I was relieved things went this way. BTW for those who didnt see my Grand Canyon blog post… this HOTEL I saw on Route 66 last week seems all the more topical now.

RUNNING THE GRAND CANYON. A GRAND ADVENTURE.

What a grand adventure indeed! Last week I had the exhausting pleasure of running most of the Canyon and back. 28 miles from Phantom Ranch to North rim and back. I did that in 6:30 and am pleased with that. The real full deal is doing Rim to Rim to Rim, but with the North rim being closed, and with that being 70 plus km (44 miles) if I did Rim to rim to rim, I would not been able to do much else...
