Here Lies Joe
TW: Talk of Suicide
I love this film. I love everything about it. It's an absolutely brilliant story about suicide (although as stated above definite trigger warnings if you're currently depressed or feeling suicidal). Not everyone's been there but a lot of us have – that point where you just want to give up on everything. It's a scary point. But then, if you're lucky, you're able to pull yourself out of that deep, dark hole with the help of friends, family, therapy, meds, and mostly yourself. What happens when you can't leave that place? What's it like to have an addiction to suicide & death?
"Suicidal ideation: unusual preoccupation with suicide." In Here Lies Joe, we meet two individuals at a Suicide Anonymous group – a group for individuals dealing with suicidal ideation. Joe is the new guy while Z is the manic-pixie dream girl of the group. Z writes her suicide notes in iambic pentameter instead of trying to NOT want to die; Joe just seems out of place and unsure of why he's there or anywhere. The two seem to sense kindred souls in one another and Z manages to finagle a ride from the meeting with Joe. Instead of taking him to her home, she takes him to the cemetery instead, where they spend the afternoon. And later that night they spend hours on the phone together, bonding, each lost in their own way. What will morning bring?
As someone who has a mental illness of which suicidal ideation is a key symptom, this film really touched a chord. It was incredibly honest and open. The characters were real and tangible, relatable. Z says she wants to kill herself because she's "an ugly thing in a beautiful world", a statement which is so honest and heartrendingly easy to understand. This film is utterly beautiful. And while it is a film with dark elements and themes, they explore them with humor and pathos to arrive at the film's ultimate message: hope.
While Dean Temple as "Joe" gives a wonderful and sturdy performance, it's Andi Morrow as "Z" who steals the show (and your breath) away. Her performance is raw and something magical to behold.
I can't recommend Here Lies Joe highly enough. Visit the film's website to find out where you can catch it. And remember that there's ALWAYS hope.

Counseling: Episode 2 – Creativity
After last week's spot of "teamwork", can the boys handle a bit of creativity?
Counseling – The Webseries
What's this? The webseries I co-wrote is FINALLY here? It premiered TODAY?? Indeed it is and indeed it did!
COUNSELING tells the tale of Matt and Tom, who seek the assistance of counselor, Dr. Robbins, in order to become more upstanding members of society. Does it go well? Does it go poorly? Do they become the most upstanding of upstandingest people ever? Well…as I say in my interview:
I really wanted to write two really awful people and make people really like them.
Take that as you will.😉
So head on over and check out my interview, then watch the premiere episode of COUNSELING below! (RATED R for language and crass humor – aka E., I think you will like)
Volumes of Blood II
Remember Volumes of Blood? Remember how much I loved it? Well, P.j. and the gang are back for Round 2 and if you're so willing, they'd love your help. They have an Indiegogo campaign up right now full of fun perks so if you have a couple of extra dollars and love indie horror, head on over and give 'em a hand!
The Nightmare Code
Tag Line: It finds the bug in you…
Guys. *pssst* Hey, guys! I have a secret. Know what it is? That this movie is f*cking awesome! (What? If you didn't know, then it counts as a secret…) This is, hands down, one of my new favorite movies. Not gonna lie – I wasn't a fan of the ending but it doesn't detract THAT much from the "WHAAA-?" factor going on here.
So ya know how we live in the age of "Big Brother" (hello, 1984!)? Drones, people listening in on phone calls, Facebook messenger needing access to our birth certificate to work kinda stuff? That's what this is about. Except what if "Big Brother" isn't a person (or group of people) but rather…dun, dun, dun…a NIGHTMARE CODE???
"Nightmare Code" is a psychological sci-fi thriller about computerized behavior recognition, behavior modification and 24/7 surveillance.Our main guy, Brett, is this wicked hacker who's also a whistleblower, who's in a heck of a lot of trouble, who gets recruited to work on this super secret project that needs to be finished STAT. It's called ROPER and it's an all-seeing behavior recognition program (think Minority Report – the TV show at least, I haven't seen that movie) intended to predict future behavior. Brett got recruited super fast for this project. Why? Oh, just because the last lead programmer went on a murder/suicide spree. Yeah, no big. Cotton was his name and he was apparently a genius – a MAD genius, mwhahaha. Now Brett's holed up in this office building (seriously, he can't leave for some reason, not even to get lunch apparently? Weird…TOTES) with a super small team of 4 other people trying to race against time to get this baby done. His only contact with the outside world is via video chats with his wife & daughter and his programming counterpart in India. Fun job, eh? One small, itsy bitsy problem though…the code he's working on? It's kind of alive. Yeah.
That's right, the big bad of our thriller is computer code! You're sitting there going, that doesn't sound scary or thrilling at ALL. NO. You just watch the movie because ROPER is freaking terrifying. It's like "Robopacolypse" terrifying. The entire movie is told from the viewpoint of the CODE. Yep, it's the first movie told from the view of artificial intelligence. This ended up being a small problem for me at times, actually, because this involved a lot of security camera footage being shown on 4 split screens at a time. There was way too much going on for me to concentrate when different things were happening on those screens so I don't know if I missed anything important. Otherwise, it's wicked cool watching our protagonist, Brett (Andrew J. West), slowly lose his mind while unwittingly (at first) battling this entity.
As I said before, I wasn't a fan of the ending. It was entirely too expected; it was exactly what you knew was going to happen. I spent the last half of the film praying it WOULDN'T happen but to no avail. It doesn't take away from the overall kickaewsomeness of "Nightmare Code" but a less archetypal ending would've set this film so much further apart from other sci-fi thrillers than it already is.
Guys, this is some good, clean fun right here (and by "good, clean" I obviously mean blood + sexy naked time), and y'all need to get your asses in gear and go watch "Nightmare Code" NOW. Remember, I'll know if you don't, because someone's always watching…😉
Happy Thankskilling!
Happy Thanksgiving, y'all! Hope it was super fabulous and delicious! As always, THANKSKILLING is an absolute *MUST* to follow up all that food, family, fun & dysfunction so ENJOY!
Stand Up Guy
Stand Up Guy is a short crime thriller featuring a mafia-like organization (or "Family", as they're referred to). With only a handful of characters, the film keeps things nice, neat and concise, which works well in it's favor, and the script is fairly tight. Things flow quickly with the end being reached before you know it, which is a shame in my opinion, as I could definitely watch more of this world and these characters.
Stand Up Guy starts with a federal agent coming to speak with the head of a Family at his "recording studio" about ratting out other people, then turns to a man freshly out of prison who seems to have a need for revenge with said Family head. The rest of the film is mostly dedicated to Roman (just out of prison guy) and Angelo's (Family head guy) confrontation, with a small interlude that was there to…I'm actually not entirely sure why it was there. To show us how Angelo operates his business? There were definitely a couple of places where it felt like scenes could have been cut without affecting the Roman/Angelo storyline but doing so would have also left the film incredibly shortened – so I guess those scenes were there as filler. The only other scene like this was the scene with the agent at the beginning. Not having that scene wouldn't have changed the main plot at all, in my opinion. These scenes neither detracted nor distracted; they just weren't particularly necessary. I would have enjoyed seeing more about Roman (because he was obviously totes cray!) and finding out who Sarge (Serge??) was. For such a small film, I though both the acting and cinematography were top notch so kudos to the team for that.
Overall, it was highly enjoyable and I was a little sad to see it end. Go become a part of the Family and watch it, so you don't end up swimming with the fishes (or something like that…)!
Total Performance
Ahhh, now THIS was a film I enjoyed! Total Performance was the total package, y'all. It had the right amount of comedy and drama; the acting was fab and I REALLY dug some of the camerawork, yo. So what's it about? Well, that's part of what makes it so fun…
The film is about Cori, an actress, but her main gig is a little bit different. She works for a company that employs actors to play opposite real people who want to rehearse a difficult conversation. A breakup, a firing, or even an embarrassing confession: the company that she works for provides a living, breathing 'sparring dummy' for their clients. Essentially, she gets paid to go around fighting with people. It's awesome. There are some obvious pitfalls, of course, like with ANY job, but for reals, how easy is this gig?? We see Cori on a few jobs…we see her on a date…we see her on an actual audition…we see hope in the comedic yet oddly touching and sad ending. The film is under 20 minutes but as time flew by, it felt as if it was only 5 minutes.
I found Tory Berner (Cori) utterly fantastic. Her face is SO expressive and she has this almost wide-eyed naivete about her that's completely charming. I would watch her in just about anything. My favorite shots were done during the date scene. They weren't anything fancy but something in them resonated. In fact, I think you'll find that the whole film resonates as it's so easily relatable to all.
That said, you should head over to Facebook and give 'em some love, and to find out where you too can watch this stellar TOTAL PERFORMANCE!
Please Punish Me
PLEASE PUNISH ME, is a super cute comedy about a guy getting his ass whipped. Yeah, I realize that the words "ass whipped" and "cute" aren't typically used together but really, trust me on this one, guys. It's the story of a businessman who is so overly blessed, that he seeks to be "punished" for his curse. Thus entering the "Punish Me Palace" in the above photo. Cute S&M, who knew?
PLEASE PUNISH ME is just under 15 minutes but it gets its job done well. The characters were more well-rounded than some I've seen in recent "features", and while the film doesn't necessarily take us anywhere new or special, that's totally fine because you'll be enjoying the ride nonetheless. The businessman is a fabulous character – love the actor (David Sackal, I believe) – who is just so miserably unhappy because of his neverending happiness. It's a fun concept to play around with, for sure. Then there were the secondary characters of the "Punish Me Palace's" receptionist and (I guess) head dominatrix (?), who were both equally funny and stole their scenes. You've also got some REALLY nice camera work going on here. I absolutely LOVED the closing shot of the businessman's dominatrix laying her mask down on the bed. It doesn't sound like much, I realize, but it was beautiful. And you can never go wrong with whippings. Just sayin'.😉
Kudos to writer, Tom Paolino, and director, Chris Esper, on an incredibly well-made (and funny) short. Keep up the awesome work guys!
Portland Film Fest About to Hit!
*This one's a little long but bear with me guy's 'cause this festival is totally worth it!*
Okay, if any of y'all are near the Portland area September 1-7, I am going to have to HIGHLY recommend that you hit up the Portland Film Fest. How can this little ole Southern Belle recommend something so far off? Cause I've seen the line up and guys, it looks AWESOME. In fact, I'll be covering festival films right here in the coming days!
It's not JUST the films though – there's so much more. There are special tributes to visionaries in certain fields:
1) Will Vinton – Will is receiving a lifetime achievement aware for his innovative contributions to the history of animation. He's a world renowned Claymation® pioneer and Academy Award winner – you might recognize the name from his legendary stop-motion classic, THE ADVENTURES OF MARK TWAIN (which will be having it's 30th anniversary screening at the festival along with his Academy Award winning short, CLOSED MONDAYS). I have to admit I'm not totally familiar with the guy but we all know I love my stop-motion animation (mostly in the form of Jan Svankmajer but whatevs) so this sounds pretty cool to me.
2) Wendy Froud – An American doll-artist, creature sculptor, and puppet-maker, Wendy Froud is a profound contributor to the history of pop culture and cinema. She is best known for being a member of the fabrication team of the iconic character Yoda for the 1980 film "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back" and also fabricated timeless creatures for the Jim Henson films "The Dark Crystal" and "Labyrinth". In appreciation of her work, LucasFilms will generously share unique behind the scenes archival images from her Star Wars work, and Wendy will be honored with a lifetime achievement award. GUYS, she helped build Yoda!!! And she worked on LABYRINTH!!! I die. Seriously. I want to go to here SO much.
*sighs* So yeah, not just amazeballs films but ya know, STAR WARS awesomeness too. BUT it is a film fest and the films ARE important and SO many of them look SO good, it was hard to pick out which ones I wanted to see. Here's some samples from the lineup that I'm excited about!
1) Aimy in a Cage/ U.S. A creative teenage girl is placed into a mind-altering procedure to civilize her, while news of a virus epidemic spreads throughout the world. (Um, YES. Apparently they made a movie about my hometown…😉 )
2) Touched with Fire/ U.S. Two manic depressives meet in a psychiatric hospital and begin a romance that brings out all of the beauty and horror of their condition. (Cannot WAIT to see this. Also Katie Holmes, y'all. Katie Holmes. I don't care what anyone says, girl is talented, and I for one would really love to see her come back from that whole Cruise debacle.)
3) Audition/ U.S. A romance is portrayed by one hundred actors who compete for two lead roles and a chance to perform the final terrifying scene. (As if I WOULDN'T watch this one…)
4) Kings of Kallstadt/ Germany, U.S. A humorous documentary about German small village life and its famous American relatives: Donald Trump and Heinz Ketchup. (Okay, not entirely sure about this one but c'mon…you've gotta be a little curious…😉 )
5) Batkid Begins: The Wish Heard Around The World/ U.S. The Make-A-Wish Foundation and the city of San Francisco join forces to grant a five-year-old boy's wish to become Batman for a day, drawing worldwide attention. (Remember Batkid??)
6) Dude Bro Party Massacre III/ U.S. A hysterical and bloody twist on 80's slasher flicks, in which a dorky loner must infiltrate a party-centric fraternity to solve the murder of his twin brother. (Um, do you SEE that title? BEST title in the history of titles EVER. TOTES.)
AND…there are a TON more (80 feature films and 134 short films to be exact). But that's not all! (I know right? You'd need, like, an extra 5 hours a day to fit everything in!) There's also 75 Master Classes going on (if I was there it would seriously be a dilemma between going to the classes or going to see films, I kid you not, because the classes look really awesome!) so my peeps in the industry, I suggest you get y'alls selves over there. At the least, go take a class for me and then come back and report on it? Please and thank you?
AND…oh I've been saving the best for last…AND on Labor Day…a special all day and night event will set a Guinness Book of World Records for "most extras in a short film". Director George Cameron Romero, son of iconic horror director George A. Romero, will direct. Award-winning makeup artists will oversee effects for an anticipated cast of thousands. Event will also include a nighttime surprise zombie film screening. You read that correctly, friends, there is indeed a ZOMBIE DAY!!! With a Romero, nonetheless! *squee* STAR WARS and zombies all in the same festival? Be still my heart…*sighs*
Okay, I'll wrap this up now with a little "About" portion on the Portland Film Festival and links for the schedule and tix, but in all seriousness – somebody go take pictures of stuff for me!!!😉 If you do go, have an absolute blast and please do come back to this post and tell us all about it because we'd love to hear. And for those not in the area, never fear, you'll be catching part of the lineup right here at CinemaSchminema. It's gonna be fun, guys. Mwah!

Bible Reading: Psalm 119:1-16
Thursday, July 28, 2016
One time I was in a different state. My GPS broke when I was between the airport and my hotel. I had no idea what to do. I did not want to make any turns because I was afraid of being even more lost!
That's how it is with people who want to follow God but do not read and study the Bible. Our Bible verses remind us how important it is to study God's Word. Verse 11 says, "I study your teaching very carefully so that I will not sin against you." When we follow the Bible, we can know that we are on the way that leads to God. Then we don't have to worry. We can concentrate on doing things that please God.
You can have a life of peace and confidence when you follow God's Word. — BL
"'I will study your instructions. I will give thought to your way of life. I enjoy your laws. I will not forget your word." Psalm 119:15-16
PRAYER: Lord, thank You for showing me in the Bible how I can follow and please You. In Jesus' name. Amen.

What a great crockpot dish, Adria82. It was very easy to make, and it was quite good and filling. I'm always on the look out for new crockpot meals to make on busy nights, and this one will definitely be made again. Made for Spring 2014 Pick-A-Chef.

Yuppies Want Camden Town
posted by Will Wilson On Tuesday night, I had the pleasure to participate in a focus group conducted by the team that will be designing ...
On Tuesday night, I had the pleasure to participate in a focus group conducted by the team that will be designing the new Old Convention Center space in DC. The group consisted of about fifteen 30-somethings, most of whom seem to have been chosen for their purchasing power and taste for flavored vodka.
I won't go into the particulars of the design plan -- you can find more on that elsewhere. Instead, I want to note some observations I took away from the meeting.
First, yuppies want Camden Town. The design team broke the group into four smaller groups and had them pull pictures of "what they wanted in their city" from magazines. Invariably, each group ended up with the same Camden Town/Soho/Haight selection of images. (Ironically, at least to my mind, no one in the focus group actually fit the "personality mold" of those neighborhoods. A desire for vicarious youthfulness was the esprit de corps -- people whose determined upward mobility forbids tattoos want to be near tattoos.)
I have to believe that raises a problem for the developers. When I think of those neighborhoods, the common theme seems to be compact, heroin-chic grittiness. The Haight offers one heck of a shopping experience -- those who haven't been back since the 60s may not realize that tragically hip boutiques line the boulevard -- but it resists economies of scale. Camden Town became a shoppers' delight only after authentically aggressive punks of the 80s ceded to upscale cheeseries and wandering Belgians.
Are clean trash and nice scumbags for hire? How does one manufacture "well-worn grimy smallness?" And supposing one could, what developer in their right mind would want to plunk down a big chunk of cash in order to underdevelop a space?
photo via Flickr, from Rob Inh00d
At the same time, not doing so could be development damnation. One (brilliant) comment about another recent DC development area was, "Gallery Place is fake-seeming." The Gallery Place area seems to do decent business, but unless there is a game in the arena, it shuts down after 10 PM. No consumer conspicuously loiters in Gallery Place, as they would in the Dupont Circle area, or in Haight, or in Soho.
My hunch is that the "big development plan" nature of the Gallery Place project causes a lot of deadweight loss because development committees can't efficiently capture the best utility on the marginal square foot. That's what I think the person meant by "fake-seeming." Perhaps over time the area will develop the space with more organic efficiency. Perhaps. But it seems darn near a metaphysical certainty that no developer could construct an "authentic" arrangement.
Because developers cannot truly reproduce what focus groups demand, the group adopted a "careful what you wish for" mentality, hesitating about word choices and design suggestions. One fellow declined to use "diverse," no doubt because nothing is gaudier than diversity-by-committee (faux antiques, ersatz international bric-a-brac).
Finally, perhaps the most interesting thing was that no one mentioned the federal government. In Washington, DC, a city marked by bland institutional architecture (except the monumented Mall, of course) and a building height restriction! Keep in mind that at the end of the day Congress calls the shots in the city -- regardless of what the mayor or citizens or focus groups may want -- and it seems pretty clear that denial was the order of the evening.
All of which makes me wonder why developers, especially big space developers, still bother with focus groups at all; surely there is a better way to track revealed preferences.

IRS Phone Scam Continues
Published on Thursday July 28, 2016
(Deming) – At least one more older Deming resident has received telephone calls in the last week from someone claiming to be an IRS agent informing the residents of a potential lawsuit.
The 82-year-old woman told police that the caller told her she owed $5000 in back taxes and needed to clear up the matter.
She told the caller she only had a few hundred dollars in her checking account. The caller then told her she needed to go to Walgreen's and purchase an Apple card, and mail it to them. She hung up and phoned police.
IRS officials remind residents that they will never call to demand immediate payment and will not call about owed taxes without first sending a bill in the mail.
Also, the IRS will not demand that taxes are paid in a certain way, for instance with a prepaid debit card, nor will they ask for credit or debit card numbers over the phone or threaten to bring in police or other agencies to arrest someone for not paying.
Anyone receiving such a call is encouraged to report the call on the IRS Impersonation Scam Reporting web page or call 800-366-4484.

Following yesterday's news that Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back director Irvin Kershner has died at age 87, George Lucas has issued a statement on behalf of his late friend and colleague, describing the man as "one of the most genuine people I've had the pleasure of knowing."
"Irvin Kershner was a true gentleman in every sense of the word," said Lucas. "When I think of Kersh, I think of his warmth, his thoughtfulness and his talent. I knew him from USC — I attended his lectures and he was actually on the festival panel that gave the prize to my THX short. I considered him a mentor."
Lucas goes on to explain why Kershner was the ideal candidate to direct Empire, saying he didn't want to direct the movie himself following his experience on the first Star Wars.
"I needed someone I could trust, someone I really admired and whose work had maturity and humor," he said. "That was Kersh all over. I didn't want Empire to turn into just another sequel, another episode in a series of space adventures. I was trying to build something, and I knew Kersh was the guy to help me do it. He brought so much to the table. I am truly grateful to him."
"He was a friend as well as a colleague. He will be missed."
a touching tribute by the master of the star wars universe. over the lost of one of his friends and the guy who helped make luca's vision the power it still is.

Jailed pastors ordered to take part in occult rituals
Jailed in Laos since September, the three pastors have been subjected to a series of ordeals.
October 22, 2012
Authorities in southern Laos pressure three jailed pastors and other Christians to participate in occult rituals and recant their faith in Jesus Christ, a religious advocacy group said Thursday, October 18. Among those targeted are Pastors Bounlert, Adang and Onkaew, who are held in the regional prison of Savannakhet Province since September 17, though local officials called their detention "not justified", explained Human Rights Watch for Lao Religious Freedom (HRWLRF). Last week, authorities ordered that the pastors, who each use only one name, "be escorted back to their their villages" in the province's Phin district, but family members waited in vain, added HRWLRF Director Sirikoon Prasertsee. Instead, the non-Christian village chief and elders demanded Thursday, October 18, that Pastor Bounlert and other believers in his Alowmai village "be subjected to an animistic, spirit-cult ritual" which involves taking an oath with "sacred water", Prasertsee told BosNewsLife. If they refuse the ceremony, the six Christian families in Allowmai village will be forced to leave, said Prasertsee, who has close contacts with the Christians. The threats were expected to add to pressure on the three jailed pastors, who reportedly refused to participate in a similar occult ritual, saying that would betray their Christian faith. Christian leaders claim authorities want "to force Christians to recant their faith because they were unsuccessful in taking legal actions against them," Prasertsee explained. The pastors "are being kept further in the Phin district prison and additionally subjected to hardship, harassment, and threats until now" as "district police authorities are seeking for more evidence to charge them," he said. The three pastors have reportedly told local authorities that they have a constitutional right to be Christians in Laos. Phin district and Allowmai village authorities reportedly said they have to undergo rituals that confirm the country's "traditional" religion. Similar incidents were also reported in elsewhere in the same district, including in Kengsaiyai village. Over 150 Christian residents from Kensaiyvai and nearby villages and some 70 non-Christian families were summoned by local authorities Friday, October 19, to participate in occult rituals, include drinking what locals called "sacred water", HRWLRF said. "Christians were required to sign documents as a proof that they have resubmitted themselves to the spirits through the ceremony and have renounced Christ," stressed HRWLRF Director Prasertsee. Christian villagers reportedly refused to take part, despite threats they would face deportation. Full Story: Laos Demands Jailed Pastors Participate In Occult Rituals Source:BosNewsLife

Workers installed Thrivent Financial's new heart emblem on its headquarters building in downtown Minneapolis on Thursday as part of the financial services firm's new branding campaign. Thrivent said it's refreshing its brand to better express its values and to help more Christians feel welcome. The not-for-profit membership organization voted last year to drop "for Lutherans" from its name. The organization wrestled for years with expanding its "common bond" membership from only Lutherans to respond to the reality that younger churchgoers are less bound to denominations than earlier generations. Thrivent began incorporating new brand elements, including a new logo and tagline, into signs, stationery and other materials earlier this month.
