The Royce Files

Not much to say about this Global Day of Prayer , except that I am amazed that it began in Africa and not someplace in the U.S. or Canada. I guess here's some things that Royce Files might file under prayer requests: Phil gets an unlimited supply of beer and shares it with his friends Intramural Glory and Chad Vader get picked up by the same network Peace

I wasn't invited to Sundance this year. I think it is probably because my only credit is in some internet webisode mockumentary . Perhaps if I appeared in Chad Vader , maybe I'd have some Sundance cred. Maybe I've got underground indie web movie cred. Nonetheless, U2 makes an appearance at Sundance this week with the premiere of their 3D movie. Now don't go thinking that Bono, Edge, and Dreamworks got together and mapped out a new album aimed at children who liked Little Nemo or Toy Story and made the movie as a gigantic marketing scheme. Instead it just shows U2 doing what U2 does- make music. Filmed during the Vertigo tour of a few years ago, Bono had some misgivings about making this film which he addresses in this article . I'm sure I would too if a close up of me appeared on a 40 foot screen in front of people I did not know,

Those of you who don't scrounge around the far ends of the Internet galaxy are missing some great videos. I have become a fan of YouTube. It is a varitible smoragasbord of delight. (Although James would vehemently denounce it.) Well one night as I was getting a dose of some YouTube and came across a series entitled Chad Vader put out by Blame Society Films from Madison, Wisconsin. It begins with Chad Vader, Darth's brother apparently, in a job as a shift manager in a grocery store. Chad is a spitting image of his bro but occasionally has a few problems with adapting to real life. Currently 7 episodes are available and I think the season finale is in post production as I write. The production is real quality and even includes a few special effects.
