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 nail down the details that it might take a reader more than a minute to gain momentum in the storyline

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 divorced when I was young and are midd

The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete (2013) Review

Image
There's something in-ev-i-ta-ble about an independent film that gets to me every. single. time. An independent artist pours her soul, passion, blood, sweat, and tears into every frame; every scene. The actors are chosen with precision and extreme caution. Sure, mainstream filmmakers meet all this criteria and some. However, the difference between the independent filmmaker and a mainstream filmmaker is money. An independent artist's passion and drive for recognition is left at the mercy of friends sharing the same the goal and the same dream to make the big-time. To go from a nobody to a somebody in the film industry, a filmmaker aims to submit her work to the prestigious Sundance Film Festival. A successful film bypasses perfection, rather it brings in grit and emotion. First time, screenwriter, Michael Starrbury does just that.  Starrbury, and Director, George Tillman Jr., partner with Alicia Keys to produce the 2013 independent film, The Inevitable Defeat of Miste
