First review

Here it is then; the inevitable upward rise, or so I can hope.
This nice fellow happened upon our last show (Molly Malones) and was gracious enough to write us a review, look us up, and send it to us. Check it out:

And while you are at it, check out the nice banner they have of us on their main page:

You can also read about Metal Gear Solid IV, or the most recent Battlestar Gallactica episode, both of which are really cool - despite what Mazochi says.

Mountain Man!

As many of you know, a film production has seized hold of the ranch. This production, known simply as 'Mountain Man', is under the direction of this man:



This is Matthew Mangs, friend and confidant.
You should check out his production blog. He will explain, with greater eloquence than I can draw out of myself at this moment, exactly what 'Mountain Man' is.

Film analysis: ranch quickie #3

Found footage. A wonderful clip edited by Kevin Rosen-Quan. Firstly, it polarizes the audience with the question of whether or not Andy drinking to excess is comedy or tragedy. One is forced to look inward for the answer, and find an optimist or a cynic. Much like the ending of "Children of Men".
Finally, we are given a 'comedown' of sorts, a 'fly-on-the-wall' view of an early morning moment between two friends. Heartwarming.
See you at the ranch on Saturday.
