Movies You Should Watch # 1

Yo.

So I watch my fair share of movies, especially documentaries. I ran across this one on watch-movies-links.com and was pretty impressed with it. I highly recommend this movie. It's very nicely done with a thorough history on past, present, and perhaps what the future hold for this section of Los Angelas. The part most interesting was the constant thought in my mind of how this situation has escalated without help or assistance from anyone honestly. Happening here in America folks. What a sad, sadistic, travesty of justice in our beautiful nation. Watch the trailer and check out the link for the movie. It's well worth your time. L8rs

Comic Artist Detained by TSA

First off I apologize to those of you who actually read this. It's been a month and I honestly just grew a bit tired of all the depressing things I usually read online that constitute as news. I'll make it a point in July to post once a day if you guys will read. Here's a news nugget I found a few minutes ago.




Comics artist Mark Sable detained for Unthinkable acts
By Ian Randal Strock May 13, 2009

Boom! Studios sends word that comics writer Mark Sable was detained by TSA security guards at Los Angeles International Airport this past weekend because he was carrying a script for a new issue of his comic miniseries Unthinkable. Sable was detained while traveling to New York for a debut party at Jim Hanley's Universe today.

The comic series follows members of a government think tank that was tasked with coming up with 9/11-type "unthinkable" terrorist scenarios that now are coming true. (See this article for more on the series.)

Sable wrote of his experiences: "Flying from Los Angeles to New York for a signing at Jim Hanley's Universe Wednesday (May 13th), I was flagged at the gate for 'extra screening'. I was subjected to not one, but two invasive searches of my person and belongings. TSA agents then 'discovered' the script for Unthinkable #3. They sat and read the script while I stood there, without any personal items, identification or ticket, which had all been confiscated.

"The minute I saw the faces of the agents, I knew I was in trouble. The first page of the Unthinkable script mentioned 9/11, terror plots, and the fact that the (fictional) world had become a police state. The TSA agents then proceeded to interrogate me, having a hard time understanding that a comic book could be about anything other than superheroes, let alone that anyone actually wrote scripts for comics.

"I cooperated politely and tried to explain to them the irony of the situation. While Unthinkable blurs the line between fiction and reality, the story is based on a real-life government think tank where a writer was tasked to design worst-case terror scenarios. The fictional story of Unthinkable unfolds when the writer's scenarios come true, and he becomes a suspect in the terrorist attacks.

"In the end, I feel my privacy is a small price to pay for educating the government about the medium."


Utter shenanigans but very ironic... don't ya think?
