DISQUS

I enjoyed the film very much, or at least wanted to; but every time it switched to video the cinematography took me out of the story and I got lost in questions over artistic choices or if they somehow didn't have the money for a decent camera, I've seen better images from a PD170 or a Sony EX1.

I realize I may just be lacking the artistic genius or mental prowess to understand the cinematography, but films need to be made for the public and even the laymen that isn't in film school has asked me if "Public Enemies" was shot partly on home video.

this is discusting! maaan how could you let one of the earths mmammels die off!?

Sheesh. I followed the link worried that there were babies on spikes. Those are just dolls.

This is called freedom of expression. In the US, this is protected by our 1st amendment, and these folks are simply protesting the killing of hundreds of babies daily. I suppose you support killing innocent babies?

As for the fact that there are no black dolls on display, perhaps they got a bulk discount on cratefuls of them. Hey, if you want to protest abortions with black dolls on spikes, go for it.

what kind of a website is this where someone can leave a comment like
'sombody kill that faggot'
and it be kept up uncensored!? hav i stubled across whitepower.blogspot or something.

It must be noted that the gentleman quoted in this article has violated the City of Portland regulations prior to the new codes taking effect. If he has "contracts" with hotels I would be amazed. Most of his work is last minute grab and dash and he has stolen fares from legitimate limousine companies.

Reputable limousine/livery companies don't "compete" with taxis and shuttles. Reputable companies charge a premium because of the quality of the service and the quality of vehicles. The fact this guy calls himself a "limousine operator" is a joke. His group of hacks has caused more problems for the good operators in our area.

The City of Portland has had a moratorium on town car permits for almost 8 years. The reason they have not allowed more permits to be issued to companies is because of operators like Mabkhouti. Just hang out outside the Westin, the Marriott, or Vintage Plaza on a daily basis and you will see these guys smoking, not dressed in suits, and providing lousy service in dirty cars. In reality, Mabkhouti and his merry band of on-demand operators, are nothing more than glorified taxi drivers giving our industry a bad name.

I truly hope the new code will give the City of Portland the tools to step up their enforcement and put Mabkhouti and others like him out of business so the rest of us can develop our professional businesses.

Hi Phil

I read some of the reviews and most have hit the nail on the head. You've just got to learn from it and move on. I really liked your film for what it is 'a low budget film' well made.

Well done.

Bob.

baby penis ftw!

I must of missed the post about the DVD release. Sorry i will go back through your blog and read it.

RUBBISH!!!

Hi Phil
This whole blog puts me in mind of Farther Ted. The one where they picket the porno film and it has the biggest turn out to date. I think you should be shouting about your DVD release not harping on about how your film has been downloaded....... think about your investors!!

Bob

Decent timeslot

The WIAA is a toothless neutered paper tiger. They have rules, but don't have the authority to enforce them, and made an exception in this case for this year, why? Because it was begged by one of its constituents. Every coach in the state now has the right to not only complain about the favorable treatment they gave one coach, but also the right to demand like consideration. This team was a pleasure to watch in most of the playofff games, but especially in the championship game. Whoever takes the reins, remember that in team sports, teams win, not individuals. Thanks.

I'm a disinterested observer. However, I am also disappointed that the biggest school in the state cannot compete for state titles in every sport every season. There are so many talented kids here that competition for positions should bring out the best in every player, every practice and every game.

Why does it not happen?

Problem number one, nepotism and favoritism. I grew up in a school district that did not allow teachers, coaches, or administrators to be employed in the district where their children were enrolled, hence no nepotism. In addition to no nepotism, there was no favoritism, i.e. Johnny's best friend. This is problem that will be difficult to overcome because of geography. Not many teachers want to travel to Kitsap County from the Eastside.

Problem number two, academic achievement. The grade requirement for eligibility set forth by the state and mirrored by the school district is pitiful. If your child is minimally eligible, and a standout, they might not play at the next level because the minimum eligibility standard is less than the NCAA Division I and II minimum. Who cares? You should, because the classroom underachiever will not be eligible for scholarships and/or grants with those grades.

Problem number three, ego. Ego's have not been checked at the door and humble pie has not been served in very many SK kitchens.

Teachers, coaches and administrators will continue to work in the district where their kids will continue to attend, there's not much that can be done about geographics. So, what do you do? First, enforce a grade eligibility standard that mirrors or exceeds the NCAA standard. If a child cannot achieve in the classroom, then they can play in the myriad rec and select leagues that abound. Next, 9th graders play at the junior high, 10th graders play C, 11th graders play JV, and 12th graders play Varsity. This will ensure teams grow up playing together, and work on their fundamentals together. Teams win, not individuals (this is not the NBA). This will also ensure that the child prodigy keeps their ego's in check. No 9th or 10th grader needs to be "the man or woman" in any sport, it breeds contempt and could place too much pressure on that one player. This will also nullify nepotism and favoritism. Lastly, a consistent state title participant will bring the colleges sniffing, and the student-athletes will be eligible and recruitable...

Tip#2 pointed me in the right direction. I hit Ctrl-Q to force rebuild and the I was able to finally save, and subsequently save myself an afternoon of lost work. Many thanks.

COME TO LONDON

Proved that she can sell albums? Are we forgetting that her last two albums didn't sell well (including this current one)? The only one that had block buster sales was Breakaway and that was when she was extremely skinny so being skinny is required for her to sell records at the pace that I believe her record company is counting on. I don't think she'll ever see those types of numbers looking like an overweight soccer mom trying to hide the fat in black instead of losing it. She just looks lazy.
