barnson.org Half-baked opinions, served lukewarm.

Don't read anymore if you don't want minor Buffy Spoilers (If you've finished the show, you're safe).

Umm.. so..

Looks like there may be a "Ripper" movie probably chronicling the life of a teenaged Rupert Giles and Ethan Rayne, being made for the BBC by Joss Whedon. THIS is a happy day.

Also, Buffy Season 8 Issue 5 is out (LOVE it). For the unititiated, Joss Whedon is writing an official Canon "season Eight" in comic book form and it is Top notch.

I've been keeping up on upcoming movie excitement.. and there are some cool things coming up!!

1) INDIANA JONES AND THE... and then Spielberg's mic conveniently cut out. But its coming next summer.. Here's a pic..

They say this one acknowledges his age.. is set in the 50s, and will use only minimal CGI. Beaucoup stunts. More info at indianajones.com

Hey barnsonians!
Just finished the new CD: "THREE" - and as I messaged to Ben, some of you guys are the reason I started making music, and the rest of you are my online buds.. so I'd love to send you my new cd for FREE -

Message me here on Barnson, or on my email.. or if you dont know it.. just go to www.timpane.com and click on "Contact" then "Email" and send your address.

Rowan is heading out this week to Pennsylvania where he will be performing in the Penn Ren Fest until November. This is a big deal, a long term paid gig, and is huge when an actor gets this kind of steady work. I am envious .

More than envy, I had Mr. Rowan to my home tonight and we had a Barnson worthy debate about Robot Chicken, God, Cognac, Girls Gone Wild, and more.. woot woot!

So, I guess I just realize that until Thanksgiving, I'm gonna miss my bud.

Well, its pretty much official now. I, the token Republican am ready to jump ship. Here's why.

1) GWB. Enough said. This is arguably the worst administration in History. From Katrina to Iraq, Osama to Gonzales, Rumsfeld to Rove, Kyoto to Abu gharib, "Mission Accomplished" to Stem cell research.. the list goes on and on.

2) Religion. I, like so many, voted with my faith for GWB in two elections, but when it didn't pan out, I asked myself, "is God Republican?" Excluding the over-emphasized homosexual focus, and the very important Abortion debate, its hard to find a platform in the republican party that actually emphasizes Christian ideals. Meantime, the leftists support taking care of the earth, helping the poor, using wealth to improve socitey, and using force more judiciously. Between the two parties, it seems the dems have more Christian ideals.

Looks like Tom DeSanto, the producer from "Transformers" will be putting my last gaming obsession on film.

EXcellent.

WARNING:
Huge movie ruining Spoilers below.
Don't read unless you want to know.

I think its fair to say that SM3 did not live up to most people's expectaions. Sure, it made fantastic money, but that is based a lot on the trailers and the success of the first two. I saw it last saturday.

Yup.. already setting up the childcare..

Here are the top 10 movies I'm looking forward to most this summer

UPDATE: All the movie titles are clickable and bring you to the movie trailer!!
1) Spider Man 3
2) Transformers

Some of you may not be fans, but for those of us muggles who are.. here is the NEW international trailer for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (aka HP 5).

It looks AWESOME!

Wayward Sun is going to reunite, and have a battle of the bands between Ed and Matt. At that point, Matt will declare his intention to become a Jesuit Priest. Sam will declare Tony Dungee and idiot, but only in Chinese, like in Firefly.

In the meantime, JB will teach the Art of Tying shoes to Ben, while Weed watches the new Star Wars Trailer. The Murphy Maphia will all fly their model airplanes while Rowan works on Exmormon.com. Tim Clarke will do some AKC naming while watchin Adult Panda movies, while I, Timpane, will watch back to back Star Trek and Buffy The Vampire slayer.
