FLASH FORWARD TO 2008: BARACK OBAMA MIGHT JUST BE ELCTED THE FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN PRESIDENT.

Some 40 year ago America John McCain was fighting and then a POW in Vietnam.

Think about that tonight. No matter who wins history is going to be made.

GOD BLESS BOTH OF THEM AND GOD BLESS THE UNITED STAES OF AMERICAN ON THIS HISTORY MAKING NIGHT.

PLANS FOR ELECTION NIGHT.

My plan for election night:

My election night begins with news gathering etc online at 3 PM. 6 PM its TV news and online monitoring. 8:00 PM Eastern - IT GETS BUSY with me being online and watching tv from 2 different rooms. TV will be loud so I can hear something and run in and watch itf I want. I only have a desktop and a big tv so I cannot combine into one room.

At least 5 different TABS in Firefox browser for electoral maps, vote numbers, DU discussion, poll closing times, Google, + my own blog I'll be posting to, and anything else I find.

Another Firefox browser will be open with Board Of Elections / Sec Of State web sites for at least 7 battleground states for the latest returns.

I'm going to be busy for hours and hours. LOL.

ELECTION NIGHT MENU: ***** TO BE MODELED ON AN OLD TIME ELECTION HQ. BUFFET STYLE.

COCA COLA

SPINICH DIP AND CHIPS

SUBWAY COLD CUT AND TUNA SANDWICHES.

HERSHEY CHOC BARS OR SOME OTHER SOMETHING.

RED WINE FOR TOAST TO FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN PRESIDENT!!!

FREE REPUBLIC POSTERS TAKE A BREAK FROM REALITY.

Ok Freepers!!! Put the crack pipe down and no one will get hurt!!! LOL.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2121984/posts

175% of the vote? WTF?! How dumb are these people? How sad? These lunatics really believe that the reason Obama is going to win is because of dogs, dead people, and non U.S. people voting?! Huh?!

FACE IT FREEPERS!!! ECONOMY SUCKS!!! BUSH IS A TOTAL FAILURE!!! MCCAIN PICKED A LOUSY RUNNING MATE!!!


++++++PLUS++++++

MCCAIN IS OLD, ANGRY, AND HAS NO PLAN FOR ECONOMY+IRAQ PULLOUT!!!

ALL THAT = MCCAIN LOSES ON ELECTION NIGHT!!! FACE IT.

HUGE BLACK VOTER URNOUT EXPECTED IN GEORGIA.

Black voter turnout is expected to be 35% this year in Ga. Normally its around 23%. This could boost Obama's chances in the Peach state on election night. I've been seeing massive lines of African American voters on the newscasts here in Georgia. That bodes well for Obama on November 4th.

ALIENS TO INVADE MY SPACE FOR HALLOWEEN NIGHT.

I have the Alien Quadrilogy on DVD. I purchased it a few months ago. I'm going to be listening to the commentary tracks for at least the first two Alien films. These Sci-Fi masterpieces are in great shape in this set and the sound is very pleasing. The DVDs.

Peanut Butter M&Ms and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups will be my treats of choice. Mmm.

Happy Halloween! Don't let the Aliens get you!!!

TWITCH ALL THE WAY TO THE MOVIES.

Here is a blog I discovered dealing with mainly independent cinema. It provides useful news and trailers for movie lovers who want something different. You will not be disappointed. Twitch.

BENSON SEASON 1 ON DVD.

I've been watching some of season 1 of Benson on DVD and it hold up well. I have laughed and laughed. Its a Netflix rental. With all the politics going on lately I thought it perfect to see Benson. From an African American running a Governor's mansion in 1979 to electing an African American President Of The United States for real. That's a big jump to make in my lifetime. Sit back and laugh as a black dude really takes charge of things. Benson: Season 1 DVD.

Season 2 not far behind? Look here. It has me salivating. LOL.

GREAT PICTURES OF PRESIDENT OBAMA

Some great pictures I found posted that I thought were terrific and I just thought I would share them: Obama photos.

Louisiana POLL SHOWS DEAD HEAT IN RACE FOR WHITE HOUSE

A new poll in Louisiana finds Obama and McCain in a dead heat. This should be another state to watch closely on election night. Undecideds in this poll are high and they may break for McCain. It is just a snapshot though.

Daily Kos: Louisiana poll: McCain 43-Obama 40

NEW POLLS FOR GEORGIA RELEASED.

Insider Advantage Georgia released the results of a new poll that shows Barack Obama leading in the Peach State for the first time.

The poll also points to a run-off in Georgia's hotly contested U.S. Senate race between Republican incumbent Saxby Chambliss and Democratic challenger Jim Martin.

Georgia Presidential Poll

Barack Obama (D) - 48%
John McCain (R) - 47%
Other - 2%
Undecided - 3%

Georgia U.S. Senate Poll

Saxby Chambliss (R) - 44%
Jim Martin (D) - 42%
Allen Buckley (L) - 2%
Undecided - 12%

THIS GUY WILL HAVE LANDSLIDE DEFEAT.

http://www.akhtarsadiqforsenator.com

In a very conservative area some Islamic dude named Akhtar Sadiq is running for a State Senate seat. Hello?! You have an Islamic name! In a white, upper income area of North Fulton County this guy does not stand a chance in Bagdad of winning that seat on November 4th. They just will not vote for him because of the Islamic name. Whenever a voter sees a name like Akhtar Sadiq they think "terrorist" who wants a seat in our government. I'm not hating on Mr. Sadiq or any other Islam believers. I just do not think he stands a chance of winning.

My prediction for "Freaky Sadiqy" will be that the other candidate gets 70% of the vote VS Sadiq getting 30%. It could be worse though. Its not going to be pretty whatever the numbers. LOL.

I will post the results on election night. Hahahaha.

OBAMA FOR HALLOWEEN.

VIRGINIA GOV WANTS POLLS TO BE OPEN LONGER.

This bit of news could cause election night to be a long night indeed. My two Cents is that the record crowds should be treated this way. To cut hard working Americans off as they stand in line at 6:45 in the evening is just not fair. I believe that as long as there are people in line they should be able to vote. If you are in line at say 7:00 or 7:30 you should be able to cast a ballot. Period! Here is the news on it[VIRGINIA ELECTION NEWS]. What do you think? Post a comment.

A history making voter turnout demands a history making solution to letting people vote.

IS THE GOP SOUTHERN BASE GONE? MAYBE.

Here is the latest numbers in the deep South. Not good news for McCain. Polls. [Scroll down to see state graphs].

BEST OBAMA BUMPER STICKER YET.

Check it out! Here it is Bumper sticker thread.

TO JOE THE PLUMBER: STFU IDIOT!!!

Its so fitting that Joe the plumber is the person the McCain campaign points to so much. After all the country is in it deep. Also the Repukes are so full of sh*t this year. Joe is the prefect spokesman. IF McLame wins I think Joe should be press Secretary AKA White House spokesman. LOL.

MY 2008 ELECTION CENTER NOW ACTIVE.

I will be live blogging election night. Live coverage begins at 5:00 PM. EDT. on November 4th 2008 and does not stop until 9:00 AM November 5th. At least 2 windows and various tabs in Firefox will be open. 2 Electoral .vote count maps will be used to make projections. Secretary Of State web sites will be used to call races.

I will also be posting at the Democratic Underground boards located HERE.

I look forward to any readers on that night. Thank you.

My coverage of election news also begins now. In the next week I will post any scrap of news I find good. Thank you for reading.

Note to readers: Font size has now been increased to make my blog easier to read. Thank you.

2008 ELECTION IS ABOUT TO GET UGLY EARLY.

Obama is going after Republican strongholds now. LOL. This is really going to cause the G.O.P. and McCain to shake their heads. The question of what does McCain do with that? Hahahaha. Hopefully Obama keeps the 70+ year old McCain chasing the Republican strongholds into the fall. Exhaust the old guy this late Summer and into the fall. LOL. Link to the article by the New York Times.

My opinion is that although the election is not over it certianly is nearly out of the Republican's reach. We shall see what happen as the general election begins.

THE BEST 100 MOVIE POSTERS.

I discovered a link to a list of the best 100 film posters. The list will change every few months as suggestions are sent in. So let them know what you think are the greatest movie posters. 100 great film posters.

THE TATTY 100.

Tacitus over at the Movieforums.com made a list of his top 100 films. Needless to say its a bit different from any of the AFI lists. Hahahaha. This is quite a list. Odd in parts yet great overall. The Tatty 100.

DSL/BROADBAND SPEED TEST.

I have found a great speed test for my internet connection. Its located here: http://www.speedtest.net/

GREENBRIAR PICTURE SHOWS

The GreenBriar Picture Shows is found here:

http://greenbriarpictureshows.blogspot.com/

I found this blog a few years back. Its one of the best blogs about classic movies. Lots of pictures and text. He really loves cinema and it shows. Enjoy.

PROTESTERS?! WHAT PROTESTERS?!

As W [Duuuubyaaaa] gets ready for his hot hot young daughter's wedding he can do it without having to hear anti war chanting, drums, or those pesky thousands of people that have lost homes to foreclosure, or who have just had jobs taken away by a foreigner.

Remember: more than one million people are being allowed to enter the U.S. thanks to relaxed immigration laws. All this anti Mexican crap is just a smoke screen so that they [the government] can let an Indian, Asian, or African in to steal that high paying job next to you. I don't hate immigrants, but its just that 5 million or so new people that are not like me and want to take jobs from Americans is frightening in even good economic times. In bad times like these it down right makes me sad.

Yes friends the "Idiot in chief" is not going to hold said wedding at the White House where in the words from the protesters at the 1968 Democratic Convention
in Chicago "the whole worlds watching". There is also the other protests during that era. The sight of the wedding of First Daughter Jenna Bush will be held on the 1600 acre Crawford Texas ranch of Mr. and Mrs. Dumb F*ck AKA George and Laura. The proud parents will have 1600 acres so that they do not have to hear or see any protests. The White House is only surround by I believe 16 acres. 16 vs. 1600 with a very unpopular President in the White House make a Crawford Western White House nuptials a no brainer.

Jenna Bush was quoted as saying that she just wants a small private wedding with no fuss. A White House wedding is not her style. Hahahahahaha. Especially when her dad's aproval rating is in, what, the 30s?! LOL.

THE PRESIDENT IS ON LINE ONE.

I know of a great resource for any person that's curious about mid 20th century history. Did you know that Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson all had tapes? The same kind of taping machine that brought down President Nixon was already in use before he was in the Oval office. These important historical phone and meeting sessions as well as Roosevelt press conferences are available to listen to online. Just click listen on the left and pick the administration you choose. Here is a link: Recordings.

THE ANGRY SCREENWRITER. CAN YOU BLAME HIM?

HERE IS SOMETHING AMUSING I FOUND ON AMAZON TOIGHT. LOL. I READ JOE'S HOLLYWOOD ANIMAL AND FOUND IT HORRIBLE. 2 MILLION DOLLARS OR MORE TO WRITE SHOW GIRLS OR BASIC INSTINCT OR THE ALLEN SMITHIE BURN HOLLYWOOD BURN SCRIPT?! OMG!!! THE FRENCH NEW WAVE GUYS COULD HAVE MADE ONE OF THE MASTERWORKS OF THAT ERA FOR THAT [BREATHLESS, THE 400 BLOWS, JULES AND JIM ETC.]. HERE IS A REVIEW WRITTEN BY A JUSTIFIABLY ANGRY SCREENWRITER. HAHAHAHAHA:

I bought this book months ago and just now got around to reading it completely (I was too busy writing screenplays and reading other more interesting books). If you like reading irreverent gossip columns and enjoying a mindless chuckle while whoofing down your morning bowl of Frosted Flakes, then please, go ahead and check this book out at your local library. But I would advise against buying it. The author, crusty ol' Eszterhas, pretends to be an advocate for the screenwriter, but in acuality, despises them (along with 99.9% of humanity). He pawns off advice in his book, not actually expecting you to follow it, then when you do, he becomes sanctimonous and offended. For example, he states in his book that if you're a young screenwriter and not out hounding people, beating on windows `til you get arrested, then you're not doing your job. I did not take his advice literally, but I did venture to Bainbridge Township, Ohio to meet Eszterhas and ask him to look at my script. I met him in the parking lot of his church and politely introduced myself whereupon he called me disgusting! Now imagine my shock when the writer of Showgirls has the nerve to call me disgusting! The man who brags about his many affairs with married women calls me disgusting! Normally I would not tolerate being talked to in this manner but he had his young "grandson" with him.
Eszterhas writes a book, puts the name and location of his church in it, then doesn't expect writers like myself to show up. I find it ironic that a diseased-ridden old man who's lived his bitter booze-filled life treating people like dirt now finds religion, hoping to get into heaven. His life has become a cliché, much like the majority of the scripts he has written.

A TWO GARBO WEEK.

A week ago I watched two Greta Garbo movies from the golden studio era at MGM. Clarence Brown directed Garbo in the U.S. version of Anna Christie. I found it slightly dated but Garbo is the star attraction. Her performance in both the foreign and U.S. versions are great. I found the non American version the better one.

Queen Christina was also good. John Gillbert plays a visitor to her country who sweeps her up into a love affair. Wow! Anna Christie has Garbo in a role as a Queen of her nation who has to decide upon true love and loyalty to her subjects. Will she make the right choice? John Gillbert is wonderful and more than holds his own opposite the great Garbo. His voice sound terrific. Do not be fooled into thinking talkies killed the acting career of Gillbert. It was his own ways that did him in. Drinking and trouble making. Fighting with L.B. Mayer was bad for him at MGM.

All in all it was fantastic Garbo. What a double feature!!!

DEATH OF A GAMER.

As anyone that knows me can tell you I am a gamer of sorts. My favorite pc game is Counter Strike Source. I play on a CSS server know as The Whore clan 24/7 office server. Its map is of an office. Hostage rescue is the objective on it. One of the clan's members and a very nice guy has passed away.

His name was "c.IN". The server is shocked and saddened by his death at only 38 years old. :( It was a heart attack from what I was told. :(

GOOD BYE FELLOW GAMER.

"ALLWAYS REMEMBER!!!" _________c.IN________

BOOKS FOR SPRING AND SUMMER.

I plan on doing more reading during the Spring and Summer months. A comfy comforter on my lawn + ice tea with a great book will = a great Spring and Summer. Here are some of the titles I'm planning to read.

The Lost One: The Life Of Peter Lorre [613 pages].

Marilyn Monroe: The Biography [448 pages]

The Rise And Fall Of The Third Reich: A History Of Nazi Germany [1,000+ pages].

WILL ADD MORE AS TIME ALLOWS. WATCH THIS SPACE.

MARY CHESTNUT'S CIVIL WAR.

I'm reading a rather large diary from a Southern woman during the Civil War. Its around 900 pages and is slow going. The length is one reason but also it has alot of information that might seem trivial to a reader. Yet it has its good parts so far. Time has not really allowed me to read much of it lately. I'm hoping that in the next few weeks I'll get to the heart of this massive text. I'll keep my blog readers updated on how the book is. Its cheap on Amazon used books section so get yourself a copy. Link to book on Amazon.

TICKLE ME EMO.

LOL. This is funny funny. Hahahaha. Emo video.

BONNIE & CLYDE + BOOK ON THE WAY.

I just pre ordered Bonnie & Clyde and I ordered the book about the 1967 Best Picture Oscar noms. It should get here about 5 days before the movie gets here. That will be nice.

I am also going to read Pauline Kael's famous review of the movie. In it she defended the film because of negative writing on it by other critics. Her review was a 10,000+ word answer that catapulted Bonnie & Clyde to good box office and 10 Oscar nominations.

KEEP UP WITH THE 2008 ELECTION FOR PRESIDENT.

Four years ago I found a web site that I checked daily during the race for the White house. It gave the standing of each state and the Electoral College vote based on polling data. The site is up again this election year and I can't wait to follow all the numbers like last time. Here is the page. Its called Electoral-Vote.com. It is now focused on the delegate race. I hope you find it as useful as I do.

BONNIE & CLYDE: 3.25.08

"We rob banks".

After years and years of waiting Bonnie & Clyde [1967] is to be released as an Ultimate Collectors Edition on March 25th. There will be docs on the discs but sadly there will be no commentary track. I know it would have been nice to have. Thank you Warners for the great work again. Can hardly wait. Link to DVD on Amazon.

Also there is a book on that film to be released at around the same time: Pictures at a Revolution: Five Movies and the Birth of the New Hollywood. I read on Amazon that the book is good. I'll let everyone know what I think of it after reading it. Link to the book on Amazon.

I'M BACK!!!!

Yes after some months of getting my life together I shall post again. :-) Happy 2008 to all who read this.
