Looks like our ‘ole friend Graham is doing a column for ArkTimes. Wonder how long it will last when “The Wreck” gets picked up for a full order for AMC. Here’s the scoop:
New columnist: Graham Gordy This week’s A&E section marks the debut of a bi-weekly column by local screenwriter/man of wide knowledge Graham Gordy. It’s gonna focus, naturally, on arts and entertainment culture with occasional diversions. I think you’re going to like it. The first one is called “Nostalgia’s creeping hold on pop culture.” If we had more room for a title, we might’ve called it “Why Nietzsche, if he were still alive, would be pissed that Hollywood decided to remake ‘The A-Team’.” (via Rock Candy | Arkansas Times)
Read his first article here.
Mike Shannon, who stars in “Shotgun Stories,” appears in every scene, Nichols said today. He plays a normal working class man with a family who begins to dream about apocalyptic storms and, in reaction, renovates a tornado shelter in his back yard.

via Rock Candy | Arkansas Times Lindsey Millar @rockcandies gets the scoop on Jeff Nichols sophomore film entitled Shelter. If you’re pissed he’s not following Shotgun Stories up with Goat (I’ve come to terms) go elsewhere because anything with Shannon in every scene has my mouth watering. Nichols says the film will hopefully hit festivals in 2011.
Also to quote Shannon in an interview with Slashfilm back in March referring to the interviewer stating Shotgun Stories was on of his favorite films of 2008: Man, thanks. I’m glad you liked it. I might make another film with [writer/director Jeff Nichols] this summer. You know his film, Goat, it’s been in a standstill for a while. There was was a lot of motion on it at one point and then it just slowed, so we’re both suddenly more interested in this project called Shelter. And Jeff’s also developing a show for HBO |
This one kind of grows on you. “De’ and Me” is a funny spoof on The Wire shot on the Canon 5D MK II. If Delonda looks familiar than you get the joke.
RIP Harvey Pekar. You were an American Splendor.

Why you shouldn’t post videos on youtube bitching about your job. It could get you fired.
According to Arkansas Business “Three KARK on-air employees and a photographer have been fired in the aftermath of two profanity-laden spoof videos that aired on YouTube,ArkansasBusiness.com has learned”
It appears that only Part 1 of the videos is available online. Let this be a lesson to all you trigger-happy spoofers who loathe your job. The Internet isn’t going to make you rich and famous any faster than you’re employer can find video of you talking crap about the company. Do the Internet math.
