Extractions: Longmont Potion Castle - 2003 Longmont Potion Castle is the nom de plume of one of the world's finest prank phone callers. He's not your Jerky Boy type, coming up with characters and letting their funny dialogue carry the day - instead he comes up with a simple concept (for example, a UPS guy calling to deliver an item that the answerer never ordered) and lets the humor and entertainment come from the respondent's reactions. ANGRY reactions. EXTREMELY ANGRY, MURDEROUS reactions. Granted, it doesn't help that Longmont often threatens to kick their butts and make people feel his fist and foot. And whip. But that's another story entirely. His releases include three cassettes, two greatest hits compilations made from material on the cassettes and a new CD out now called Volume 4 . Finding the man entertaining, I asked him if I could send him some email questions. He agreed! See below. My questions are in bold, his answers are in plain text. In the beginning especially (but even now, to a lesser degree), your tapes came across more like hilarious "art" than basic old Jerky Boys-style prank call tapes. Everything from the way you took your own voice out so all the listener would hear is a person on a phone getting angrier and angrier to the movie dialogue and music breaks between calls - to the way you would cut and repeat certain parts of calls, or run them through effects to make them sound more interesting. Did you have an overall "vision" when you started? Or were you just looking to "make a tape" and whatever happened happened?

Extractions: Amy Hunt is on the board of directors of the Massachusetts Gay and Lesbian Political Caucus, an advocacy group working to protect the rights of gays and lesbians. The opinions expressed here are her own and not necessarily those of the caucus. Also read Dwight Duncan's web log in opposition to gay marriage Amy Hunt 05/23/2004 22:10 GEE, ONE LAST THING, JUST TO BE CLEAR. As Massachusetts goes the way of the Fallen Roman Empire, there will be no requirement that heterosexual men "satisfy their sexual instincts by homosexuality." As I understand it, there won't even be little encouragements along those lines, like tax credits or free Slurpee refills at the 7-Eleven. So: Any straight men out there (and some of my best friends are) who read the Professor's last blog and got worried, please relax and keep doing whatever it is you've always done, that will be fine. Note to Mitt Romney: Segregationist Governor Orval Faubus of Arkansas spent the last years of his life selling his autograph for a quarter. Yesterday, after six months of trying to do everything you could to keep marriage discrimination in place, you did manage to say "I'm pleased for them and for their ability to establish a further relationship with the people they love." It's a start. Grow, grow, grow dammit.

Extractions: STARSHIP TROOPERS Adapted from the classic 1959 science fiction novel by Robert Heinlein, "Starship Troopers" pits mankind against bugkind in this $100 million special F/X extravaganza by director Paul Verhoeven. Man's colonization of the stars is abruptly halted when a race of giant, Man intelligent bugs vies for the same territory. The Bugs are bent on destroying man and it's the job of the Mobile Infantry to stop them. ROBIN: The film opens in an homage to the 1929 anti-war masterpiece, Lewis Milestone's "All Quiet On The Western Front.," with one-armed teacher, and veteran of the Bug Wars, Jean Rasczak (Michael Ironside), mesmerizing his class of young warriors-to-be with the glories of battle and the opportunity to become a Citizen - a privilege bestowed only on those who enter national (read: military) service. From here, we're introduced to the central characters. Screen newcomer Casper Van Dien is Johnny Rico, a gung-ho young guy who has ambitions of leadership and sees the Mobile Infantry as his stepping stone to command - and, to the heart of Carmen Ibanez (Denise Richards), a gung-ho young woman who has ambitions to command a starship in the war against the arachnids. (Be warned, there's a lot of gung-ho in this movie.) Johnny is not aware that beautiful, tough as nails Dizzy Flores (Dina Myer) has the hots for him, to the point where she gets assigned to his MI unit. Rounding out this love quadrangle is starship officer Zander Barcalow (Patrick Muldoon), who wants to do more with Carmen than just go into hyperspace, if you know what I mean.

Lilies Of The Field @ Filmbug sidney portier s Oscarwinning performance is spectacular. But when has it not been? You finish watching this film and want to go out and perform some http://www.filmbug.com/asin/B000056HEH
Extractions: About Lilies of the Field Sidney Poitier won an Oscar for this endearing movie about a handyman who thinks he's just passing through a little town in New Mexico, and ends up staying awhile to build a chapel for a cluster of German-speaking nuns. The renowned actor is highly entertaining in his combative exchanges with Lilia Skala, playing a Mother Superior who survived Hitler and makes no bones about bullying the goodhearted, itinerant worker into doing more and more for her. The film has an ambling, easygoing style with several memorable moments, not least of all is Poitier leading his holy hostesses through verses of the gospel song "Amen." Lilies is directed by the late Ralph Nelson, a pioneering director of live television who also made a number of popular feature films with notable performances (Jackie Gleason in
