Tucson's The Screening Room


Imagine screening Fatso with Lorelai and Rory Gilmore along with a smorgasbord of coffee- drinking-teeth-decaying-artery-clogging-food. At every scene the girls' have some kind of smart-alec-two-sense-added-commentary-wise-crack-something-or-other-to-say. And, the audience gobbles this up. So, why not bring live commentary to B-Lister film, Phantom of Space (1953), at the Screening Room during Tucson's 2nd Saturday Downtown.

What does a manager, cartoonist, and filmmaker all have in common? A smart-alec-two-sense-added-commentary-wise-crack-something-or-other-to-say. It's taking the "D" out of Dull. It's more or less taking Kathy Griffin off the D-List and putting her on the A-List. The smart-alac-two-sense-added-commentary-wise-crack-something-or-other provides a laugh-out-loud-belly-roar-funny for the entire family.
And, the plot takes a turn...

Flatulence is apparently a form of methane gas that contributes to radiation, the smoking gun of disappearance, which could be a direct result to a donut and whisky kind of diet. Hence, the over-active imaginations of a manager, cartoonist, and filmmaker.


All this heckling and two-sense-added-commentary cause an over stimulation to my brain. I feel like I watched Howard Hawks, 1940 film, His Girl Friday on repeat. I can't get a word in edge-wise. #thescreeningroom

Just Shelby (2020)

  Brooklyn James not only challenges herself as a storyteller in her newest release,  Just Shelb y   (2020), but she challenges her readers with a writing style that reveals a mysterious plot of  whodunnit  at the end.    Just Shelby  may not be everyone’s flavor of a read in 2020 while we’re pausing in the quarantine life as it is a slower read told with dual perspectives; however, slow doesn’t equate to poor art; it’s a matter of taste and delight. The  hurry-up-and-get-there type  may be  looking for a  whodunnit  murder mystery to be upfront in your face with a character reveal like  Game of Thrones  (2011-2019) with relentless jousting and jolting with no hesitation to kill the main character in Act 1 Scene 1 of an Emmy Award-Winning television series.    Just Shelby  is more like the Emmy Award-Winning television series,  Breaking Bad  (2008-2013), taking a slower pace to really nai...

Demon 2: Divorce

    “ So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore , what God has joined together, let not man separate. ” They said to Him , “ Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away? ”   — Matthew 19:6, NKJ     Much of my outrage and rebellion in skipping kindergarten had to do with my parents’ divorce. Thankfully, I don’t remember much of it. If there were knock-out-drag-out fights, yelling, screaming, or cursing, I have no recollection. Mom and Dad divorced when I was two years old. Confusion is a symptom of the divorce . I am shuffled back and forth between Mom’s and Dad’s every other weekend; they split or work around holidays, so I can spend time with both sides of my families.    The stress and anxiety that I feel plays a role in my subconscious. The outcome of the divorce creates mental blocks and barriers that kill my hope for the traditional American family in the early ‘80s. Because Mom and Dad divo...

Demon 1: Words Do Hurt

  Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things . See how great a forest a little fire kindles! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is to set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on the fire the course of natur e; and it is set on fire by hell.   — J ames 3:5 – 6, NKJ       While in elementary school, my mother and I had an outrageous argument. It isn’t one of those arguments where I scream and shout until my lungs burn from anger and my eyes are swollen from stinging tears. It’s one those verbal fights that leave me scarred for a lifetime. It’s one of those fights that lingered in the back of my mind years after I proclaimed forgiveness of such a hateful phrase. It’s a defining moment in testing my absolute inner self, in knowing that nothing in this world is more important than believing in myself.   My mother told me, “You’re not smart enough to go to college.” In that moment my world cha...
