Dialogue Greatness

“Attention. Here's an update on tonight's dinner. It was veal. I repeat, veal. The winner of tonight's mystery meat contest is Jeffrey Corbin who guessed ‘some kind of beef.’”

Pick of the Week

"They Live" (1988)- Famed horror director John Carpenter (Halloween, Escape From New York, The Thing) provides a different twist on alien invasion. Professional wrestler Rowdy Roddy Piper puts in an exceptionally great performance as a drifter who slowly discovers the alien plot to subjugate the human race. The manner in which the aliens overtly take over is disturbing and humorous. We all have experienced the feeling that we are being manipulated and deceived to further the plans of others. This film proves it, especially in an election year.

Best Scene: The five and a half minute long fist fight between Jon (Piper) and Frank (Keith David) over a pair of sunglasses. It is one of the most realistic of all time.

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the expected yet still suddenly immediate retirement of my Canon 7D. Not sure if it was the sensor or shutter (sounded like the shutter) that hit its limit. My first camera and it has helped me capture amazing memories, moments, and video projects. Amazing blessing it happened the day after my gh4 came in and also on a shoot we can reschedule. Time to find a new photography camera.-----Brian Bass
