How successful was The Guild's "Avatar" video?...

Building a Nation of Know-Nothings
It would be nice to dismiss the stupid things that Americans believe as harmless, the price of having such a large, messy democracy. Plenty of hate-filled partisans swore that Abraham Lincoln was a Catholic and Franklin Roosevelt was a Jew. So what if one-in-five believe the sun revolves around the earth, or aren’t sure from which country the United States gained its independence?
But false...
Re: The "Ground Zero" Mosque
I couldn’t agree more. I try not to think about how that day in my city 9 years ago has been used by people to advance their agendas.

Oops, I’m on Gawker …
All right, so I hadn’t watched Clint’s episode with the sound yet, and I am thoroughly impressed by how far he carried the “I’m going to embarrass my girlfriend on TV” thing.

Lemon: Don’t you think it’s a bit different considering what happened on 9/11? And the people have said there’s a need for it in Lower Manhattan, so that’s why it’s being built there. What about 10, 20 blocks … Midtown Manhattan, considering the circumstances behind this? That’s not understandable?

A Good Knight's Quest @ iTVFest, and where to go...
rickrey:
Last night we screened the first 9 episodes of A Good Knight’s Quest at the Sunset 5 theater in Los Angeles for the Independent Television Festival. It was fun seeing our series on the big screen, and it played surprisingly well on that format.
After the screening there was a very short Q&A and one of the questions asked was “where do we see this going?” I spitted out something...
