The Object of..

So, recently I've become obsessed with nuclear bombs, crust punk, comic books/graphic novels, sci-fi, pulp fiction and mumblecore. I'm presently at work on a way to mix all of these together and I don't think it's going to be easy, but I'll get it done. Oh, and by the way, Flying Saucer Productions is now on facebook. So, go over there, search us and hit us up. Join the party.

Vote or Die?

George W. Bush’s tax cuts for the top one percent, as well as his spending nearly three trillion dollars on two wars, have combined to drive this country into financial ruin. But, let’s blame Barack Obama, the man who’s been in charge for less than two years. Of course this must all be Obama’s fault. In those two years he must have singlehandedly allowed millions of American jobs and corporate tax dollars to be shipped overseas. He must have overseen the deaths of nearly six thousand American troops, the biggest fiscal surplus in history turn into the single biggest deficit we’ve ever had as a country. Yes, after years of economic and social bliss during the 1990s, it must have been Barack Obama’s two years in office that retroactively caused three of the greatest financial recessions in the history of this country in seven years between 2001 and 2008. Don’t listen to the wackos on the right. Hell, don’t even listen to the wackos on the left. Don’t listen to anybody who works for a corporate-owned news outlet and has a financial, biased interest in the political arena. Just listen to your neighbors, listen to your co-workers (if you have a job), listen to your children and most importantly, listen to the facts. Letting Republicans take back Congress is almost guaranteeing that this financial crisis will never end.

Nerds Unite!

On this, the weekend of Comic Con, I thought it would be fitting to tease a project of mine a little bit. Some of you may know of my short film, 'Paroxysms of Caesars'. Below is a short snippet in case you haven't seen it. Well, I've been working on writing a feature length film and a graphic novel version. The story is set in New York city in the near future and involves a teenae girl as the main chracter. There are several story lines all occuring in the city at the same time and all held together by the fact they involve ths young girl. A fascist president has taken over power in the U.S. and shredded the Contitution. This is my reaction to the Bush, Patriot Act years. Look for the first chapter in the debut issue of Flying Saucer zine, coming this fall. Fans of 'V For Vendetta' '1984' 'Sin City' or any dystopian sci-fi story as well as film noir and pulp fiction will enjoy this story, as I am a huge fan of all these genres and attempting to blend them all together in this story.
