What to look for in 2004:
Happy New Year to you all. Since I am a bit late in putting together my first article of the new year, lets get right to it, shall we?
Hopefully you have seen my Haiku Trailer Reviews. I created them in protest of the screener ban currently decreed by the high exalted Mr. Grueler named Jack Valenti. The reviews will continue into the new year and beyond and I can assure you, they will get nastier as time goes on and the ban stays in place. I'm fixing up a new batch now.
Bringing something new, fun and devilish in the new year is another of my goals. So, I am going to try and enlist the help of you "loyal reader." I am trying to come up with something to do, say, yell while ad's are rolling in our local movie complex. If you are anything like me, it pisses you off something terrible to have to sit through ads before the movies you paid to see is shown. Now I am not talking trailers, those are fine. I am talking about coke ads and car commercials. This has to stop and I will do my damnedest to stop it. I was thinking something like this; when a coke ads comes on the screen, everyone begins saying or yelling (Depending on how loud you are) their competitors names, Pepsi, Shasta, etc. That is what I have for now but if you come up with something better, I will have my weapon to combat commercials in the theaters. Something has to be done and I am ready to do it. I'll write a full page on this later but don't let that stop you from sending in ideas to reelbutter@aol.com.
Soon I will be posting my new "Golden Stick of Butter" awards for 2004 to the lucky or not so lucky winners. Winners are chosen in my little head, by a panel of the loudest voices I hear on a given day. Does this award have nominees? Maybe. Does this award mean anything? Maybe. Do the award winners get a prize or statue? Well, a graphic representation of a statue and the prize is my praise or scorn. Crappy huh? Well, it is fun though and nice top see people get acknowledged.
We have very strong views on the Oscars this year and we will write about them, from the nominations to the winners.
We will keep our eyes on the FCC.
Keep our eyes on anything truly important in the world of movies. At least what we see as important.
I will be working on an article on how to sue a company, if you have not been paid for your work. Can you feel my outrage here?
I will strive to get you more content, a few interviews, articles from others in the industry and anything else fun and interesting that comes to mind.
That is some of the stuff to look for this year from Reel Butter and their will be more I can assure you. I know the voices in my head would do no less than their best to bring you something wonderful.
Until next time, keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.
