  2. Remembering Jim Henson
    It's hard to believe that it has been 23 years since Jim's passing on May 16, 1990. Share your memories of May 16, 1990 and the impact Jim Henson continues to have on your life.

What made you frown today?

    If you don't mind me asking, which song (or songs) are you referring to?
  2. Ozymandias Active Member

    There were several. "Yahweh" for one (specifically the imagery used in the music video). His stage personas as The Fly and Macphisto (especially Macphisto) for another. I don't really believe that a professing 'Christian' should be taking on that kind of imagery in their concerts. I'll leave it at that (because I just finished watching an entire documentary on this subject, there are several other examples I could use, and also I'd rather not see this post turn into a religious debate), but needless to say, I am not happy about this. :(

    Sometimes I really wish I would just wake up one morning and find myself gone.

    I've gotten NOTHING but headaches over this new video I've been working on recently, I've gotten into nothing but trouble (seriously, I've been getting in trouble with this shooting), and hardly anything has been going right... if one thing, if just one thing would go right, but nothing is, and it's really just gotten me really froggin' frustrated...

    One thing's for sure, this is the last time I'm ever going to try to produce a more ellaborate video that involves shooting on-location, if all this much trouble is involved, I'm just going to stick to the simpler videos I've become known for.

    I looked up what you were specifically referring to, and I could definitely see why you would be offended by his on-stage acts. It seems liked he was saying one thing and then doing something totally different later on.

    Can we sing the "Just Keep Smiling" song next? Or would you hate us D'Snowth?
    Seriously though, sorry about all the trouble you're getting from this shoot. None of it was legal trouble I hope?
  7. D'Snowth Well-Known Member

    In a sense, I believe "trespassing on private property" would be considered legal trouble.

    Long story short: there apparently was some miscommunication between the owner of a property I was to shoot at, and I was allowed only five minutes, which didn't even begin to allow me enough time to do what I need to do... so in a sense, I'm kind of having to sneak back in when no one is looking to finish what I have yet to shoot.

    That's just ONE problem I've had to face.
  8. bandit Well-Known Member

    Yeesh, I'm sorry man. That does sound pretty rough. Obnoxious song or not, we're behind ya. Hang in there and go forth in kickassery!

    I drove to the library today and parked in a space near the door. Right after, a cop pulls up and blocks me in, saying she'll I'll be in there a few minutes, 'cause she will be. So, after I got some 30 Rock, I sat around waiting for her to exit the building. I didn't see her leave, but after 10 minutes of sitting around, I looked outside and her car was gone.

    I haven't seen the show of course but imagery doesn't bother me too much, it's art. It's actions that make the difference and Bono has done some decent things.

    My best friend's hateful bird.
    To her, this bird has descended from the heavens in all of its rosy, red cheeked, cockatieled glory.
    TO ME.....it squawks, screeches, BITES DANG HARD, pecks, makes a mess and does everything in its power to demonstrate his hatred of me....

    Ohhhh Camielle....it's mutual......ITS MUTUAL......And atleast MY name makes sense...because I am a girl...as where you are a boy....with a girl's name and an obnoxious personality!

    It literally ran through my plate of spaghetti squash when she wasn't looking. =.= He did it on purpose.

    I just found out the Children's Pastor at my church and most of his family were killed in a very bad highway accident that has killed seven people. Needless to say, my family, church and community are devastated right now. :( Prayers would be appreciated.

    Oh that's so horrible. My prayers with the family.
  14. bandit Well-Known Member

    Holy cow! That's horrible. *virtuahugs* I'm so sorry. :(
  15. Gonzo's Hobbit Well-Known Member

    Wow, that's terrible. Will definately be praying for them.
  16. charlietheowl Well-Known Member

    I'm sorry. My thoughts are with the family.
  17. Ozymandias Active Member

    Thank you guys. *hugs*

    I, surprisingly, had a rather poor night of sleep last night... it's not that I didn't sleep very well, it's just that the night seemed like it lasted forever... like my eyes would flutter open every couple of hours or so, but each time they did, it felt like a lot longer than that.

    Geez Ozy. So sorry for your loss and your community's. Those kinds of accidents always seem so senseless, and often that makes it much harder to deal with. Hope you have support you can turn to and take comfort in. :sympathy:

    I must be cursed or something.

    Seriously, this is going to be the second ellaborate Steve D'Monster project I'm having to shelve because of complications with production and everything: nothing's gone right, I've gotten nothing but headaches, what I already do have shot is full of reveals and mistakes, this whole production has been one big nightmare, and I'm just sick of it, I don't even want to THINK about it anymore...

    I knew this was going to be a somewhat difficult project with shooting on-location and having to obtain permission to shoot and whatnot, but I didn't realize it was going to be nearly impossible with the interested parties basically giving me "Get in and get out" permission, thus causing me to rush through what I did shoot, and not even get to what I haven't been able to shoot yet.

    I thought this was such a great idea (like with "Steve Inefficient Christmas", which was the first project I've had to shelve), so now I'm really frustrated, and down-right ticked off, because I feel like this whole universe is against me (and you people wonder why I'm consistently cynical and "negative").

    Right now, all I feel like doing is starting a big bon fire, toss Steve, Bethany, The Squirrely Squirrels, Easter Egg, and everyone into, and just retire from producing and puppetry altogether... does anybody have a rifle? I wanna shoot myself and put me out of my misery.
