<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="mceTemp">
[caption id="attachment_188" align="alignleft" width="180" caption="Need i say more?"]<a href="http://midnightshowing.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/drivethru.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-188" title="drivethru" src="http://midnightshowing.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/drivethru.jpg" alt="Need i say more?" width="180" height="258" /></a>[/caption]
</div>
<p>And his name is Jason Constantine.  I mention him because on one of the DVD covers, it makes mention that this slasher comes to us from the producer of SAW 1 and 2.  What a hollow and shameless marketing ploy that turned out to be.  Most fans of the genre would see that, and be intrigued.  Sad for us however, that instead of even getting a passable slasher that could at least be considered a guilty pleasure, we served a hot steamy pile of poo that even the Sci-Fi channel would be embarrassed showing at 3 am on a Tuesday morning.</p>
<p>Even if you were stoned and drunk, hanging with your best buds and doing a bad movie marathon, you might want to overlook this.  I'm a very tolerant horror fan, and one things I'm even more lenient toward are slashers.  Why?  Because slashers are very difficult to make.  Pacing, a clever heavy (bad guy), a descent motivation for the killer, a good gimmick for your killer in the way he kills or where and how, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.  Then you have to make sure you have somewhat likable characters that have to face-off against your villain, and somehow mix all this up and create tension and atmosphere on top.</p>
<p>It's a tall order, and that's why we see so many fail.</p>
<p>But even the "bad" ones still seem to have something offer.  Exceptional special effects, gore, and innovative kills can carry an entire movie, or even a series, to becoming successful.  Sometimes a great twist about who or what the killer is can make watching 90 minutes of "bleh" cinema completely worth it.  Or having a killer that the audience roots for instead of fears to make your film rise above it's competitors.  Drive-Thru delivers none of these characteristics, and fails at following the tried and true formula of slasher movie making in general.</p>
<p>The plot concerns a vengeful guy (or spirit, were never told of course) in a "Horny the Clown" costume, fully imagined with a mouthpiece that distorts his voice just like those talk boxes in old run down burger joints, running around killing the children (all teenagers, how original) of the people who wound up killing him when he was a teenager when a prank went horribly wrong 20 years ago.</p>
<p>On paper, this isn't exactly crippled from the start, but you got to expect that a sense of humor would be included to make such a plot, and such a ridiculous gimmick for a killer, easily digestible.  Wrong.  Besides a few stabs at republicans, the American government, epically failed pot and pot head humor, and trying to shit on the "O.C." California lifestyle, Drive-Thru tries to play it straight.  None of the humor comes off as genuine, original or funny, and seems to be there just to fall in line with flavor of the week politics, trends, and habits that the youth they hope will buy this piece of shit will relate with.  Its obvious their target audience was the the anti-establishment kids, the kids who are sick of the "McWorld" we live in, but instead of making astute observations about how, fast food for instance, is a microcosm of our whole country and even world today, we are instead treated to one liners like "Fast food kills, fucker."</p>
<p>How incredibly enlightening.</p>
<p>Delivering this poignant dialogue is a cast and crew full of nobodies, with the exception of Morgan Spurlock who has that "30 Days" show on F/X and did that "I'm gonna eat McDonalds every day for a month" or whatever movie.  Either the actors are to young and talentless to handle even these see through characters, as the case is with the main friend group who is terrorized by the killer clown, or they are just "I'm here for the paycheck" older actors and actresses who you probably have never seen before, and hopefully will never see again.  Throughout the whole ordeal, either over-acting or just not giving a shit is the two varieties of acting we get.  Great.</p>
<p>All this is nothing compared to the directing though.  It makes rap videos look like Titanic.  Every time someone is killed, the director feels its necessary to speed up and slow down the kill, seemingly at random, and BLAST really bad hard rock/heavy metal over top of it.  This means once you hear the butt rock kick in, any suspense and tension has been removed, as the fact that someone will die in the next few seconds is announced.  Not like the director has enough skill to even TRY to create tension and atmosphere.  Nowhere in Drive-Thru is their even an attempt at a stalk and kill sequence.  Sometimes people walk into a room and Horny the Clown pops out and kills them, but that's about it.  Awesome job.</p>
<p>The kills and "gore" are all very poorly done.  Good violence can help almost any movie out, and apparently that memo wasn't passed on to these filmmakers.  The kills just make you shake your head in how they are terribly executed and how talentless you have to be to not even be able to give your audience a serviceable pay off for sitting through your dreck.  Speaking of pay offs, the ending is so mishandled, it hurts to think about it.  It makes no sense, but does...somewhat...answer the "is it a man or a spirit" question, because somehow even though Horny the Clown is killed at the end, one of our main characters takes up the reigns and continues the slashing.  How they came to this conclusion I have no idea.  Unless there's some brilliant plot revelation they will reveal to us in the sequel.  Have no doubt folks, someone will ressurrect this, and I'll die a little inside when they do.</p>
<p>I could go on for a few pages slamming this film, but I won't.  I honestly wanted to like this movie.  I want to like pretty much everything I see.  And indeed I did actually finish watching this movie, however much I now regret that decision.  If you are the most passionate and fanatical slasher freak out there, I still don't suggest you even download this movie for free.  It's not even worth the look to say "Yeah, I saw that."  Avoid it like you would avoid watching a porno with a family member in it.</p>
<p>As for Jason Constantine, hopefully the paycheck for this was worth it, because he's seriously got to redeem himself after allowing his name to be put on a movie he had know was this bad.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To get something out of the way first for all of you who keep asking, and wondering, etc etc. Yes, I have a full time job, I was hired this past Friday at Wal-Mart in Highland. I'm just doing warehouse stuff, nothing super exciting but it's a job for now.</p>
<p>So I was talking with my parents the other night about careers, salaries, marriage, family, etc. How much is needed to have a house and support others as a man these days. It got me thinking more about where I'm needing to go from here and such. I jumped on Google for a bit before I went to bed and found that there are currently openings at SIUE for police officers. HOOZAH! This is precisely the field I'm trying to get into. The best part? They don't require you to have a college degree for entry level. You simply have to:<!--more--></p>
<ul>
<li>be 21</li>
<li>have a high school diploma</li>
<li>pass the physicals</li>
<li>pass all the course work and exams</li>
<li>complete and pass the firearms course to carry a firearm</li>
</ul>
<p>So I read all the info and found two different job postings. One said the deadline was today by 4pm, and the other stated the deadline was this Friday at 3pm. So I called up to SIUE and checked.. hoozah again, it's not till this Friday. So I went ahead and downloaded the (many) forms needed to apply and I've gotten most of them done. It's not a bad paying job, and I'll already be in the field I desire to be. Entry level salary is 35k a year. Not the greatest, but definitely not the worst. It is enough to support a wife on as well as myself and gets me seriuosly thinking about if this is the direction God has for me to go. If I do get this job I will be starting my actual career, and I can continue going to school at SIUE for law enforcement and only up my salary. With the experience I get I can apply at a local, county, or federal police department with my degree and go on from there. It's a perfect (in my mind) plan. I just wonder if God agrees. This would jump start me into life providing funds for school, the possibility of marriage, and experience I'll need for the rest of my life.</p>
<p>I need you guys to pray with me on this. I'm gonna go up tomorrow or Wednesday and put in my application, and register for the exams and physical. God willing my life (as far as career goes) may be starting sooner than I'd dreamed.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img alt="" src="http://www.bucdata.com/mt/mt_pics/bennett08_09_08_2_b.jpg" class="alignnone" width="447" height="297" /><strong>Matt Bryant</strong> è stato impeccabile per tutta la durata del training camp, ma ha sbagliato due FG (di cui uno relativamente semplice) all'esordio in preseason...</p>
<p><strong>Michael Clayton</strong> ha avuto una buona serata nel suo complesso, ma ha lasciato cadere dalle mani una palla impeccabilmente lanciata da <strong>Luke McCown</strong>. Nemmeno un handoff sarebbe stato più semplice da afferrare.</p>
<p>Sul primo sack subito da Simms, <strong>Jerramy Stevens</strong> si è completamente dimenticato del blitz all'esterno del linebacker avversario. Sarebbe bastta anche una semplice spallata per tenerlo lontano dal QB. Stevens può essere un buon bersaglio in end-zone, ma errori come questo sono gravissimi e probabilmente non valgono un paio di buone mani in più.</p>
<p>Nel secondo quarto <strong>Eugene Wilson</strong> è stato completamente aggirato su un lancio di media profondità. Altre volte ha fatto bene, ma quell'azione rimane impressa perchè è sembrato veramente spaesato e confuso.</p>
<p>Credo che <strong>Michael Bennett</strong> debba essere usato più spesso che l'anno passato: è un giocatore che ad ogni azione ha i mezzi per ottenere un guadagno importante. Quando ha corso lungo la sideline, ha evitato perfettamente il placcaggio distendendo il braccio; inoltre non è solamente veloce: ha anche una eccellente potenza, e non ha timore di buttarsi nel mezzo.</p>
<p><strong>Brian Griese</strong> non ha commesso particolari errori, ma ha dato l'impressione di volersi liberare troppo affrettatamente della palla. <strong>McCown</strong> ha lanciato alcune bombe a lunga distanza, ma ha mancato un Clayton liberissimo in end zone. Dietro di loro, <strong>Chris Simms</strong> non ha commesso errori. La battaglia è ancora aperta...</p>
<p>Le statistiche dicono che la difesa ha giocato bene, lasciando i Dolphins al di sotto delle 200 yards totali. Però a volte il gioco alla mano di Miami è sembrtato penetrare con troppa facilità, e anche la linea titolare è sembrata a volte demotivata, lasciando troppa libertà a Ricky Williams.</p>
<p>La seconda linea difensiva è sembrata decisamente migliore, con <strong>Jimmy Wilkerson</strong> che ha colpito un paio di avversari come un toro: sembrava un probabile candidato per il taglio, ma un altro paio di prestazioni come quella di Miami basterebbero per far cambiare idea.</p>
<p><strong>Dre Moore</strong> ha combinato poco e non ha messo alcuna pressione agli avversari. Forse la sua condizione non è ottimale, ma con il talento che è disponibile nella DL, sarebbe un azzardo lasciare uno spot a lui. Se non migliora rapidamente, sembra destinato alla practice squad.</p>
<p><strong>Josh Johnson</strong> ha lanciato un passaggio perfetto. Purtroppo, su uno solo tentativo.</p>
<p>Spero che <strong>Chad Lucas</strong> trovi un posto nel roster: non si accontenta mai, e anche in questo esordio in preseason ha compiuto due eccellenti ricezioni.</p>
<p>Buone notizie per i ritorni: quest'anno tra <strong>Clifton Smith</strong>, <strong>Dexter Jackson</strong> e <strong>Micheal Spurlock</strong> non dovrebbero esserci problemi.</p>
<p>I Bucs hanno chiuso la partita con zero penalità. Spero che conti qualcosa.</p>
<p>In conclusione una buona gara, ma qualche preoccupazione resta. I Dolphins sono reduci da un modesto 1-15, e avrebbero dovuto essere un avversario più semplice. La linea d'attacco dovrebbe spingere meglio e aprire buchi più agevoli per le corse centrali, mentre la difesa deve creare più turnover. E ora arrivano i Patriots...</p>

<p>Ottimo esordio per i Bucs nella preseason 2008.</p>
<p><strong>Michael Bennett</strong> ha corso per 74 yards e un TD, aggiungendo quattro ricezioni per ulteriori 16 yards. <strong>Luke McCown</strong> è stato schierato come primo QB, collezionando un buon 9 su 15 per 70 yards totali. Dal secondo quarto ha giocato <strong>Brian Griese</strong>, la cui prestazione (10-14, per 59 yards, tra le quali una splendida ricezione di 14 yards da parte di <strong>Stovall</strong>) è culminata con il TD pass da tre yards per <strong>Brian Clark</strong> proprio allo scadere del tempo: chiamata coraggiosa da parte di <strong>Gruden</strong>, che rinuncia a calciare un field goal con soli sei secondi sul cronometro. Touchdown che ha permesso ai Bucs di chiudere in testa per 7-3 la prima metà della gara, dopo aver subito un FG dalle 41 da parte di Dan Carpenter.</p>
<p><strong>Chris Simms</strong> è stato schierato nel terzo quarto, chiudendo il primo drive con un 3 and out. Migliore il secondo tentativo: 10 giochi (con due ricezioni consecutive da parte di <strong>Chad Lucas</strong>) fino alle 25 di Miami. Purtroppo un sack di Rodrique Wright ha costretto <strong>Bryant</strong> a tentare un FG dalle 52, uscito abbastanza nettamente alla destra dei pali.</p>
<p>Successivamente la difesa di riserva dei Buccaneers si comporta ottimamente, concedendo solo un FG dalle 41, e il terzo quarto si chiude sul 7-6.</p>
<p><strong>Simms</strong> ancora più preciso nel suo terzo drive della serata: 17 giochi per 76 yards, con un 4 su 4 per 40 yards al lancio. Due le key plays: una da 11 yards per il rookie <strong>Dexter Jackson</strong>, e soprattutto una bomba da 15 yards per <strong>Michael Spurlock</strong> che ha chiuso un difficile terzo e 13. Ma il vero protagonista è stato il RB <strong>Bennett</strong>, con una cavalcata da 31 yards lungo la sideline fermata solo a 2 yards dal TD. Touchdown che è arrivato poco dopo, ancora con una corsa dello stesso <strong>Bennett </strong>(14-6 a dieci minuti dalla fine). <strong>Simms</strong> chiuderà la gara con 8 completi su 10 tentativi per 60 yards, ma anche con due sack subiti.</p>
<p>Benissimo anche i rookie nell'ultimo drive, iniziato con un bel punt return da 30 yards da parte del RB <strong>Clifton Smith</strong> (5 portate per 15 yards per lui in questo drive). Ottimo il giovane QB <strong>Josh Johnson</strong>, che al suo esordio da professionista ha saputo convertire un terzo e 5 con un preciso lancio per il ricevitore <strong>Cortez Hankton</strong>. <strong>Matt Bryant</strong> chiude le segnature sul 17-6 con un FG dalle 32 (ma dopo averne sbagliati due in precedenza) quando mancano tre minuti alla fine: la vittoria è cosa fatta.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://bucsitaly.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/alstott08.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-102" src="http://bucsitaly.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/alstott08.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a>Quello di ieri sera è stato il primo allenamento notturno dei Bucs da quando li allena <strong>Gruden</strong>. Il coach ha detto che i giocatori (e in particolare QB e WR) devono abituarsi a giocare sotto i riflettori, come faranno durante l'imminente preseason.</p>
<p>Un giocatore da tenere d'occhio nell'opener a Miami sarà certamente il WR <strong>Micheal Spurlock</strong>. Entrato nella storia per essere stato il primo Bucaniere a ritornare un kickoff in touchdown, quest'anno si sta dimostrando validissimo come ricevitore e non solo come uomo da special team: probabilmente a Miami partirà titolare in molte azioni.</p>
<p>Due graditissime sorprese a bordo campo: <strong>Warren Sapp</strong> e <strong>Mike Alstott</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Elbert Mack</strong> è stato protagonista di uno spettacolare intercetto in endzone durante gli esercizi per la secondaria. E' uno dei giocatori che devono lottare per un posto in squadra, e l'infortunio a <strong>Sammy Davis</strong> potrebbe consentirgli di mettersi in mostra nelle prossime giornate. Conquistare l'ultimo spot da CB nel roster sarà una battaglia...</p>
<p><strong>Josh Johnson</strong> e <strong>Chris Simms</strong> hanno condotto la squadra delle cosiddette "riserve", quella cioè che avrà maggior spazio sabato sera contro i Dolphins. Per lo stesso motivo, <strong>Luke McCown</strong> e <strong>Brian Griese</strong> hanno lanciato per l'attacco contro le seconde linee difensive. McCown è stato il migliore della sessione, e ha mostrato un'ottima intesa in particolare con <strong>Maurice Stovall</strong>.</p>
<p>Tre safeties in campo contemporaneamente? <strong>Sabby Piscitelli</strong> si è unito ai titolari per una serie di azioni in una "three-deep zone".</p>
<p>Il giovane WR <strong>Chad Lucas</strong> ha lavorato parecchio ieri sera. Nel complesso si è dimostrato affidabile, ma è stato vittima di un paio di intercetti, poichè <strong>Aqib Talib</strong> è semplicemente un atleta migliore di lui. La sensazione è che il QB debba lanciare una palla migliore se il bersaglio è Lucas.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://bucsitaly.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/gruden081.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-73" style="margin:2px;" src="http://bucsitaly.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/gruden081.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a>Ieri sul sito ufficiale <a href="http://www.buccaneers.com" target="_blank">Buccaneers.com</a> è apparsa la prima stesura della <a href="http://www.buccaneers.com/team/depthchart.aspx" target="_blank">depth chart</a>.</p>
<p>Non ci sono molte sorprese: tutto sommato a questo punto della preparazione ci si poteva aspettare <strong>Dan Buenning</strong> dietro a <strong>Jeremy Zuttah</strong> come centro di riserva, ma in ogni caso il posto nel roster per Zuttah è pressochè certo, quindi la posizione non sarà determinante.</p>
<p><strong>Alex Smith</strong> non sarà il migliore TE in nessuna delle singole abilità per quel ruolo, ma sembra avere la migliore combinazione, al momento. Per ora <strong>Jerramy Stevens</strong> è il migliore a ricevere e <strong>John Gilmore</strong> il migliore nei bloccaggi. Quest'ultimo ha però anche delle buone mani, e non è improbabile che entro la fine del Training Camp il posto da titolare possa essere suo.</p>
<p>La posizione di <strong>Ike Hilliard</strong> davanti a <strong>Michael Clayton</strong> tra i flanker è basata solo sulle precedenti esperienze. Durante questo camp Clayton è stato praticamente inafferrabile, e se mantiene queste premesse non potrà non partire da titolare. <strong>Gruden </strong>ama il "cervello" di Hilliard, che è quasi come un coach sul campo. Ma Clayton stà disputando forse la miglior preparazione tra tutti i giocatori di qualsiasi ruolo.</p>
<p><strong>Kevin Carter</strong> è davanti a <strong>Greg White</strong>, e lo sta meritando. Sta crescendo davvero forte.</p>
<p>Più incerta la situazione tra i DT. <strong>Dre Moore</strong> compare come backup nose tackle, ma sembra quasi che lo abbiano inserito nella prima posizione disponibile (probabilmente sarebbe una terza scelta tra i T). <strong>Jovan Hayes</strong> sta incontrando serie difficoltà a mantenere <strong>Ryan Sims</strong> dietro di lui tra i titolari: Sims sta dominando tra le linee.</p>
<p><strong>Micheal Spurlock</strong> è sia punt returner che kickoff returner. Probabilmente non durerà, e <strong>Dexter Jackson</strong> finirà col prendersi il posto di punt returner titolare.</p>
<p>Il WR <strong>Joey Galloway</strong> continua a rimanere sulla sideline (dolore all'inguine) e non sembra che il suo ingresso in campo sia imminente. Lo staff medico sembra però certo che non avrà problemi per l'inizio della stagione.</p>
<p>Infine i quarterback. <strong>Luke McCown</strong> è indicato come primo backup di <strong>Jeff Garcia</strong>, ma non lo rimarrà a lungo se continuerà ad avere giornate come quella di ieri (in un precedente post avevo già parlato dei due fumble, ai quali vanno aggiunti due intercetti durante uno scrimmage 11 contro 11). In particolra e sorprende la difficoltà che sta avendo nel ricevere gli snap dal centro (Gruden l'ha definita "ridicola"): ogni mattina sta dedicando oltre dieci minuti a questo problema, che davvero non dovrebbe essere tale.</p>

I ricevitori sono sembrati molto migliorati rispetto a ieri.  <strong>Micheal Spurlock</strong> ha fatto almeno un paio di difficili ricezioni a una mano.<br />
La taglia di <strong>Ryan Sims</strong> lo ha reso un eccellente partner per <strong>Chris Hovan</strong>. Oggi sono stati praticamente imbloccabili.<br />
<strong>Ben Troupe</strong> ha partecipato a qualche azione come runningback, allineandosi nel backfield e bloccando come un fullback.<br />
<strong>Josh Johnson</strong> ha dimostrato un buon tocco di palla, ma ha bisogno di lavorare duro. Questo tipo di attacco è nuovo per lui, ancora alle prese con qualche errore da rookie.<br />
<strong>Brian Clark</strong> ha battuto <strong>Ronde Barber</strong> in una gara sulle 50 yard.  Wow.<br />
<strong>Ryan Nece</strong> sta facendo tutto il possibile per eccellere negli schemi degli special team. Nece è chiaramente a rischio a causa delle profondità tra i linebacker, ma rifiuta di andarsene senza lottare. E' un esempio per tutti.<br />
Gruden ha punito alcune penalità e mancati assegnamenti con ripetuti sprint per tutta la larchezza del campo.<br />
Gruden si è congratulato con <strong>Brian Griese</strong> per aver lavorato egregiamente nell'evitare i blitz difensivi.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I took my kids to an independent movie theater, The Moxie today.  It's a small theater where they serve cool eats, beer and wine.  The movie reminded me of a British "Stand By Me" feel good kind of film.  It was cute, funny and a nice change from other movies we see all too often.  My daughter (who is 10) thought the theater was cool because they have art on the walls and soda pop in real glass bottles!  My son (who is 15) didn't think the movie was as funny as the preview led him to believe, and it had too much drama.  He also said it was, "too British."  So much for instilling culture into that kid.  But he did ask if I would take him back to see Morgan Spurlock's "Where in the world is Osama Bin Laden."  We might be on to something here.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of my favourite films presented at the  2008 Sundance Film Festival is Morgan Spurlock’s follow-up to his hit 2004 documentary Super Size Me. <strong>Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden</strong> is a documentary on the epic action scale. A search for the most wanted man on earth becomes a nice primer about the middle east and terrorists. Filled with humour and pop culture references, yet packed with insights, Osama is a must see for any voting-age chaps</p>
<p>You can find the trailer <strong><a href="http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809826866/video/6303854" target="_self">HERE</a></strong></p>

This movie is outdated, and the McDonald's Corporation has improved many of its operations and choices for customers. They have introduced a new line of salads, adult happy meals, and various other products. McDonald's doesn't want to be considered just a burger joint anymore. They have tapped into other markets, such as coffee, specailty coffee, and breakfast.</p>
<p>Is it realistic to think overeating of McDonald's products can cause liver and kidney damage??? 90 percent of my friends work for McDonald's for over 10 years and all of them have no signs of end stage renal diease.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Morgan Spurlock, the creator of Super Size Me, recently finished his new movie Where in the world is]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Morgan Spurlock, the creator of <i>Super Size Me</i>, recently finished his new movie <i>Where in the world is Osama Bin Laden?</i> The movie's initial premise was to find Osama.  In the Guardian article (below), however, it is made clear that this premise quickly changed during production and that Osama was, of course, never found. The movie, instead, according to the article, turned into an exploration of various cultures and provides a different view of the middle east not traditionally found in American 'media'.</p>
<p><a href="http://film.guardian.co.uk/interview/interviewpages/0,,2245909,00.html">Jeremy Kay talks to director Morgan Spurlock &#124; Interviews &#124; Guardian Unlimited Film</a><a href="http://film.guardian.co.uk/interview/interviewpages/0,,2245909,00.html"></a><br>"The media manipulate what is going on out there to keep people afraid," he says. "But we should ask more questions for ourselves, talk to each other and challenge what we hear. Then we can learn about our similarities. Maybe that will give us a better chance of surviving in the future."</p>
<p>Spurlock shares my view that our own careful curiosities and insights are always most important to forming a balanced world view.   'Traditional news media,' blogs, documentaries (large &#38; small), TV shows, and all other sources of news and information simply provide us with fuel to do so.</p>
<p>Spurlock writes that "the media manipulate what is going on out there to keep people afraid."  The 'media' does what is best for ratings, and the 'media' reports what is often the easiest to report (Note:  media = top news networks).  There is very little intention involved - news is often simply business with the goal of objectivity.  So, I would argue, it's not a premise of "keep people afraid", but rather a premise of "Be objective, but also be interesting."</p>
<p>Keeping this in mind, we all need to ask more questions and use as much "fuel" as possible to form our own world view. Looking at everything from multiple perspectives takes more work, but is also well worth the effort.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Oh Santa has come early! I forgot that Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me / 30 Days) has been working on]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Oh Santa has come early! I forgot that Morgan Spurlock (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0390521/" target="_blank">Super Size Me</a> / <a href="http://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/originals/30days/main.html" target="_blank">30 Days</a>) has been working on a project called "<a href="http://wwjbmovie.com/" target="_blank">What Would Jesus Buy</a>". I just saw the trailer and I can't wait. Of course, I'll have to wait and see it on DVD because here in the land of Wal?Mart and McDs, there isn't a theater in town that will take a chance on it. Maybe on campus. . .</p>
<p>Why does this film thrill me so?</p>
<p>1. I love Spurlock's style and humor and attitude.  (note the use of the Disney font). This will be a fun film.</p>
<p>2. I just finished reading a great article from <a href="http://www.sojo.net/index.cfm?action=magazine.article&#38;issue=soj0711&#38;article=071110" target="_blank">Sojourners about Rev. Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping </a>(free registration required to read)</p>
<p>3.  Super Size Me sparked significant change in how America views fast food (why do you think McD's started servinng "Go Active" meals?), if this film could make people rethink how they spend. . .</p>
<p>Here's the trailer.</p>
