What is this bizarre and hysterical thing? For those not in the know, Will Swenson is a local Utah/Mormon actor who has been in such comedies as The Singles Ward. The video seems pretty careful to merely be putting forth the question, but the tone is almost certainly damning.
Somewhat reminiscent of a certain McCain campaign tactic, actually.
Thank you, Colin Powell. Especially worthy of note is the following:
Well, the correct answer is, he is not a Muslim, he's a Christian. He's always been a Christian. But the really right answer is, what if he is? Is there something wrong with being a Muslim in this country? The answer's no, that's not America. Is there something wrong with some seven-year-old Muslim-American kid believing that he or she could be president? Yet, I have heard senior members of my own party drop the suggestion, "He's a Muslim and he might be associated terrorists." This is not the way we should be doing it in America.
Amen. Powell speaks to the America that I love and believe in. What's tragic is how rare a public statement like this is.
The Importance of Tolerance
Saturday, February 23, 2008
At long last, The Importance of Tolerance is available online for your viewing pleasure. I wrote a release announcement at the Bombdotcom Productions blog for it. But if you just want to get to the meat of things, here's the video:
The Mustache: More Than Before
Sunday, February 10, 2008
Vimeo.com provides a better resolution than the old YouTube. I've begun moving stuff onto their site, at least to serve as an alternative host. Behold below, my 2006 film, The Mustache looking better than it's ever appeared online before.
The "within the week" I mentioned in my last post ended up being today. Dear readers, I submit to you my first animated short in seven years, "The Frog Prince."
Work has begun on my next animated short, to be titled "Prince Charming." It'll be a lot more intricate than this one. With luck, it'll only take about another month to finish.
UPDATE: August 23rd, 2007 This is actually a newer version. The audio sounds much cleaner on this version and I think the video may have rendered better as well.
The Mustache (Now on YouTube!)
Wednesday, June 20, 2007
Finally, I've begun to transfer the Bombdotcom Productions videos to the only place on the Internet people will actually watch videos: YouTube. I've started with my most recent completed project, The Mustache. I've even decided to embed it right below this sentence.
Watch for more in the future, as I attempt to get off my lazy ass.
