It’s Intermission Time!

1 August, 2009 / admin / No comments

This is not quite misGuidance Theatre material, but just the nifty thing to view. Some guy with the nom de Web “Swamp-Ass” has pieced together vintage drive-in intermission clips. Great stuff. I remember my family going to the Van Nuys Drive-In…four bucks per carload, and we’d get out the cooler and enjoy the movies. I did remember Splash and Beat Street as some of the films that we watched.

Am awaiting further news with the Ohio Linuxfest guys, especially in regards to speakers. I know that one guy got the nod as he’s with the Fort Wayne LUG.

2) 1776 (A musical on the Declaration of Independence)
3) Fight Club
4) South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut
5) Persepolis (Tatsuma recommended this very much)
6) Arabian Nights
7) Lawrence of Arabia
8 ) Revolution
9) Red Badge of Courage
10) Glory
11) The Patriot
12) Braveheart
13) Henry V
14) Puccini’s Tosca

Here is a nice collaboration by Stan Ridgway (Wall of Voodoo) and Stewart Copeland (the Police), from Coppola’s Rumblefish.

Don’t mess with the Austrian School!

12 November, 2008 / admin / 2 comments

The husband would watch the Saturday business segment on Fox News, and they would have the commentators recommend some stock based on their predictions. In these 2006-2007 segments from CNBC and Fox News, Peter Schiff predicted this current mess coming. Watch how the commentators snickered at his predictions and made dubious recommendations.

It’s no crystal ball speculation…it’s the Austrian school of economics.
