Blagojevich, Free PTSA, WSM?

By On January 26, 2009 · 43 Comments · In Books, Movies, Politics, Super Airplane, WSM?

I think my new favorite person is Illinois (soon to be not) Governor Rob Blagojevich.

How he can skip his own trial thingie to make the talk show rounds, and during said talk show rounds say things like, “I thought about offering the Senate seat to Oprah” – I just think he’s a genius of some kind.

I’m locked on ABC all morning, because he’s going on The View, and while I’ll need to cut myself the entire time I watch, I’m thinking those ladies are going to tear into him pretty badly.

That said, my favorite thing he’s done was when he went jogging in the middle of a blizzard, simply because the media was outside his house. It was awesome – I’m sure there’s video somewhere.

He’s playing victim like never before, and there’s basically no way he doesn’t get a book deal at some point, so good for him.

Here’s a way to win a totally free copy of Prelude to a Super Airplane – simply email me, explaining in a brief paragraph, what’s happening in this screen shot from Who Shot Mamba?:

My favorite explanation gets a free book. (If you’re new, Who Shot Mamba? is a feature film I had a hand in that’s not out yet. You can see more about it here, including a short synopsis.)

Speaking of WSM?, I’m going to make about 20 preview copies available on DVD soon.

There will be several hardcore requirements to be eligible to acquire one, including, but not limited to, that you’re not crazy, and can verify who exactly you are in some manner. If you think you might want to be in on this, let me know via email.

    I don't think I've ever seen The View, not all of it, certainly — do guests come on in traditional talk show fashion? “Please welcome Larry Hagman!” followed by a walk-on and applause? Because I can't imagine him receiving applause. I wonder if he'll start the segment already in the guest chair.

    Yeah there's usually an intro and then they all talk at once so you can't understand what anyone is saying. This goes on for 45 minutes.

    I have a copy, so I'll refrain from entering via email and submit here for general amusement. Also, I've seen the movie, so I'd be cheating.

    As a Zapatista, the lady is reading a transmission from Subcomandante Marcos. You are indignant. You don't believe in him. You claim he is a propaganda invention. In turn, she is indignant, and is considering using the machete she has slung over her back to chop off your tattooed arm. You are saying, “Fire walk with me.” She is confused.

    I get an LOL when I think of the description of what's really happening as compared to yours.

    Is this an exchange in which the words “choose” and “choice” are frequently used?

    Why must we electronically mail you these thoughts. I could've thought about airplanes 5 times more than I would've been able as I'd be tied up electronically mailing you!

    should I bother emailing that one to make myself eligible?

  • Mr. Rogers

    The top headline on the Trib's website is “The governor's absent, sparring with Barbara Walters.”

    I don't know what that piece of paper in the screenshot is, but you definitely just got done sparring with Barbara Walters.

    Is it you delivering Barbara Walters' last will and testament to her daughter?

    Some of it is – I'ma have to go back and make sure all that stuff is in place one day before that comes out.

    The RC stuff would give you no extra insight into the movie, but would be of mild interest as far as source material.

    The fact that WSM? is coming closer and closer to reality (well reality in the outside world that is) is fantastic. This film should be on truthboxes everywhere

    You need the following rule:

    Whoever wins a copy of WSM? will have their name and email address burned into the film. That way, if they try to distribute it themselves on the interweb, they will be flooded with calls and emails and banned from MPTBP. Plus, unlike the studios, we will know who was responsible for piracy and crucify them in a publicly embarrassing manner. Oh, and INTERPOL will give us that $1,000,000 reward they threaten you with on that screen that you can't fast forward through when you watch a DVD.
