I'm not hear to bring everyone down, I'm actually here to bring everyone up. Like Obama said, "it's time for a change."This morning, I read something truly inspiring and I'd like to share it with you but some background information is needed. Excuse me while I take care of this Mr.Carl.Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05723361532484863399noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16711399.post-28386528946308768612008-10-26T17:22:00.001-05:002008-10-26T17:22:25.047-05:0022 it is.I'm putting my foot down, I'm launching another website Nov. 1st.Someone can do the numerology on this one, but 11.1.2008 (11+1+2+0+0+8 = 22) is going to be a pretty special date. That new direction I spoke about a few days ago will come full circle. The site will consist of mostly me, initially, and more reactions to things I see happening.

Although it comes in many shapes and different wordings, it all means the same thing."Are you going to get a job?"Being immigrants to this country, my parents expect me to grab a traditional 9-to-5 (potentially boring-ass) American job.

I will not tell you which way to vote, I have faith in you to guide this country. I do want to highlight something Obama said, "I think it should be a right, for every American.

I went through this sort of Identity Crisis, rethought how I projected myself and how to present it to the rest of the world. And I went back down to bare basics, read a number of my posts and considered who I was from an audience's point-of-view and this is what I found.I started from my very first post (and eventual heading)Mr.Carl.Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05723361532484863399noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16711399.post-29251945769070892582008-08-01T12:32:00.007-05:002008-12-09T08:27:27.665-06:00MetamorphosisI know I haven't posted the last review and I'll get to it. It's written, I just haven't proof read it--I'll put it up soon.But I wanted to show up and say something. I'm different today, something has changed. I'd hate to get all spiritual on you, it turns so many of you away, but I feel like nothing can stop me now. As of late, I've been struggling with everything I've been doing, whether Mr.Carl.Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05723361532484863399noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16711399.post-81125291689438728832008-07-19T17:58:00.003-05:002008-12-09T08:27:27.990-06:00And everyone loses their mindsSo now I've seen it twice and now I really think this is one is a creeper (and completely AWESOME!). This time around, because I knew what was going to happen, I could sit back and really enjoy the performances and the story that was crafted. I talked about Heath already, but really, all the actors did a such a fine job--especially Aaron Eckhart. I think it was overlooked because the scenes Mr.Carl.Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05723361532484863399noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16711399.post-77160346950612172352008-07-18T11:53:00.004-05:002008-12-09T08:27:28.362-06:00And here we goI was right, I completely undersold The Dark Knight. It's a masterpiece, in which the narrative is told in beautiful frame after frame. The scenes are cut fast and the sequences packed with tension and detail, you have to stay locked in; you blink and you missed something. The story comes at you--fast--wave after wave and you'll find it difficult to breathe, but that's the kind of suspense Mr.Carl.Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05723361532484863399noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16711399.post-53668557122586404322008-07-17T12:01:00.005-05:002008-07-17T12:26:55.000-05:00Starting Tonight...The day has arrived. At midnight, The Dark Knight hits theaters across the country and the nation will be re-introduced to Batman. And to be honest, for as much as I've done I still think I'm underselling it. All the people I've talked to and all the things I've said about the feature, I don't think I've found the words to appropriately discuss how powerful this is going to be.

All of it can be attributed to me being on set but there's something else about this one, something special. Based on my experience and what I knew of the film before the viral marketing, interviews, and trailers---the stuff I got while on "RFK" this is going to be a groundbreaking.1.

Gotham’s Hero. Enter Batman: A city’s first son sets out to inspire the citizens to take their city back after the loss of his parents. Listen closely to the dialogue; hear what is being said to Bruce Wayne. His conversations with Henri Ducard shape the man that he is to become. When he talks to Alfred, the only person that knows who he truly is, he talks about what his intentions are andMr.Carl.Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05723361532484863399noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16711399.post-68376521508196562362008-07-11T22:28:00.008-05:002008-07-14T23:57:07.836-05:00Batmap! & Batlinks!As you can probably tell, I'm excited for The Dark Knight. I've got my little countdown here...Today is the first official day of Dark Knight Week and all the Film sites are in a frenzy. Film School Reject's have posted their Guide to the Dark Knight, for a bit of background information. Think of it as the terrain Christopher Nolan has embarked on to make this film as epic as it should be.

Are we truly in a better place than last year? I believe another surge is happening, working within our own borders. What difference a year makes. Last year, I commented on the idea that we (as a country) were heading in the wrong direction and needed to find the hero within us all.

Last year's post, America is dead, was commenting on the state of affairs in this country. This year's "state of the union" address is going to be about how to move forward, where we go from here. In my own life, in order to move forward and stay on course, I always return to essence and origin.

Upon the release of this film, Christopher Nolan will have completed 3-year long journey to craft a story both relevant to our world and progressive to the comic.
