A Talk with Jamie Bradshaw.

So, a High School friend of mine has a major motion picture opening this weekend. This is awesome on a lot of levels. We talked about Branded, his feature debut, and some mildly philosophical aspects of the current cinematic experience. I hope you enjoy reading it...

Just when you think you've heard it all...

Did Russia learn nothing from Footloose?

What's even more ridiculous than this is that Russia is chock full of hate rock bands, any one of which are responsible for more violence, destruction, and acts of suicide than emo kids.

This just seems like that brouhaha from Mexico earlier this year about emo kids getting beaten up by assholes because of their iconography and attitudes. It's all because of antiquated macho bullshit, and it's all homophobia, regardless of people want to dress it up as 'caring about teen issues.'
