Bruce Willis speaks (highly!) about Looper and Mr. RCJohnso in this month’s Esquire

(Willis) really wants to talk about Looper, the tale of a time-traveling corporate assassin sent back in time to meet, for lack of a better word (and avoiding a spoiler), his maker. “It’s better than anything I’ve ever done…Rian did an amazing thing. He conceived an original story. He wrote it, sold it, stuck with it, directed it, and finished it,” Willis says. “That’s just tough to do in this town. Someone always weasels into the process. That didn’t happen here. And if he never did anything else except that Herculean effort, he’d have made it in the business. Amazing.

“It’s more than an original story. It’s a story people are going to talk about, and see twice. And argue about. I was arguing with myself about the story when I read it the first time. That’s all Rian Johnson, beginning to end. Great, great director.”

Wow! :oD

jordangalland:

“Can’t Surf” is a song I wrote with Sean Lennon in 1999 on a trip to LA to record with Money Mark. We were listening to a lot of Beach Boys and Weezer, and hanging out and recording near Manhattan Beach (where the pic is from), which seemed like a pretty ironic name to us at the time. This demo was recorded at Sean’s studio in NYC. He played all the instruments.

Never heard this before… :D

And, look what the Tumblr dragged in… Mr. Jordan Galland!

This music is exactly the stuff of my high-school days. :oD

Oh, wait - Money Mark is on this track, too?? Dayum!

RE: Let’s Write Stories For These Illustrations

==

Our deadline for the Tiny Book of Tiny Stories Vol. 2 is coming up, so now it’s time to focus in on some ILLUSTRATIONS THAT NEED STORIES!

==

Resident Director wirrow has some direction for all you WRITERS out there:

There have been some insanely cool illustrations contributed so far. You can check out the “illustrations that need tiny stories” album. Go through the album, find an illustration you like, and WRITE A STORY!

After all, how can you leave them there without a story? That would be just… sad.

Thanks!

Contribute your Tiny Story HERE!

Wanna know how you can contribute to our next volume of THE TINY BOOK OF TINY STORIES?  Check this out!

leftcoastjane:

Mother’s Day began in America in 1870 when Julia Ward Howe wrote the Mother’s Day Proclamation. Written in response to the American Civil War and the Franco-Prussian War, her proclamation called on women to use theirposition as mothers to influence society in fighting for an end to all wars. She called for women to stand up against the unjust violence of war through their roles as wife and mother, to protest the futility of their sons killing other mothers’ sons.

Howe wrote:

 Arise, then, women of this day! Arise, all women who have hearts, Whether our baptism be of water or of tears!

Say firmly: “We will not have great questions decided by irrelevant agencies, our husbands will not come to us, reeking with carnage, for caresses and applause. Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn all that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience. We, the women of one country, will be too tender of those of another country to allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs.”

From the bosom of the devastated Earth a voice goes up with our own. It says: “Disarm! Disarm! The sword of murder is not the balance of justice.” Blood does not wipe out dishonor, nor violence indicate possession.

In the name of womanhood and humanity, I earnestly ask that a general congress of women without limit of nationality may be appointed …to promote the alliance of the different nationalities, the amicable settlement of international questions, the great and general interests of peace.

Happy Mother’s Day, Mommy! :oD
