Raise up Bitches…It’s the b-day of baby Jesus! In case you didn’t know he has special magical powers. And since we are all Jesus it’s all of our birthdays, so lets give each other a bunch of crap. If I weren’t in Texas I’d give Doug a cigar, John his documentary, and Mac this doll. Please, for the love of God, somebody out there (Santa if’in your reading this…and I know you are) get this for Mac. A Merry XXX-Mas to all and to all…and to all lots of booze.
Well it’s the weekend after Thanksgiving, which means I forgot to wish South Fork a happy birthday. It was just a mere 365 ago that Mac said to me, “Get a camera and come over to my house tomorrow at 2 … we’re making a movie.” I rode over to his place with 301’s resident camera (aka Lance’s XL-1). As we drove through Hillsborough and the countryside surrounding Chapel Hill, Mac waxed poetic on several issues, ranging from cable television to God not wanting “bums” stinking up the world. It was also on this weekend that Mac introduced us to a “bobcat hybrid cheeta-thing.” Cameron was “deader than shit,” and Dave and Maggie were on hand to provide support. Ah … I wish I could post the picture of Bowser, Ma-Winter’s dog, posing with Santa.
Enough self-masturbation and reflection. On with the new. Oh yeah, happy birthday, Ol’ Boy.
Shortly after its theatrical release, a friend of mine brought over a bootlegged copy of The Passion of the Christ. It was poorly shot and the compression was terrible, the combination of which gave it the feel of a Hammer movie from the seventies. I suppose that was the only thing that transformed this grotesque rape of The Christian Myth (for Mel Gibson’s fun and profit) into the funniest bootlegged movie I’ve ever seen. In any case, I thought our loyal readers–of which there are approximately five–might enjoy this post from Boing Boing:

I remember coming across a story about these wonderful paintings of American movie posters from Ghana a couple of years ago, but I never got around to looking for more galleries of the paintings. Enjoy, and if anyone has a few hundred bucks to drop on one of these, I’m sure Mike would especially appreciate this spectacular rendition of an American Classic.
