Big Hero 6
When Disney bought Marvel in 2009, they were miners looking for gold in decades worth of intellectual property.
(They sort of did the same thing when they bought Lucasfilm three years later in 2012 ... but that's a story for another post)
The film about "Big Hero 6", a Marvel Universe team with X-Men connections, is the result of looking at the stuff they bought to see what they could turn into a Pixar movie without many people knowing that it was, in fact, a Marvel movie. However, the colors red and white used in the graphics promoting the film could be seen as a wink to the modern Marvel logo/colors.

Don't Trust a Computer
BBLO2 #41 > Every week, the computer system at CFAI either doesn't play the last song(s) of "Bernard Brule Les Ondes, Vol. 2" or one of them gets an early fade-out.
I've come to expect it.
This week, I expected the last track, Lou Reed's "Metal Machine Music, Part 1", to get cut after the first 2 minutes or so. Instead, the whole track played and the usual post-BBLO2 dance music only began at 2:11AM.
It's great that the Lou Reed track was played but the moral of this story is that a computer-initiated fade-out will not be there if you expect it to be.
.... But it will be there if you don't want it.

Strange Adventures

Volume 1: 1950-1973
Volume 2: 1999-2000
Volume 3: 2009
Volume 4: 2011

Exploitation
People that volunteer for the East Coast Comic Expo or any other organization that exists to make a profit for an individual (or a group) are obviously being exploited.
Volunteering for such an organization would be like donating time to McDonalds or any other corporation.
When these types of groups tell people online “It’s your event! Give us your ideas!” they are once again attempting to exploit naïve individuals to help the organizers make money.
It’s common sense.
My advice: Don’t get fooled. Invest your time into activities that benefit you and not the bank accounts of others.

Transparency
(*Originally posted on May 25, 2012 at http://www.eastcoastcomicexpo.org/2012/05/transparency.html)
"Non-Profit" (or alternately "Not-For-Profit") organizations (or organizations publicly claiming to be) should voluntarily demonstrate financial transparency by making all financial records publicly available online, especially if the people managing them claim that they don't have any interested in making personal profit from such activities.
So called "Non-Profit" organizations like East Coast Comic Expo shouldn't be taken seriously without public transparency and an absence of secrecy.
If the organizers are really interested in making an event in the best interest of the public and not fill their clique-ish pockets with profit, they shouldn't need to read this blog post to publicly divulge such information.... Especially if they are planning to access public money and/or support for the event from any or all levels of Government.
The Government, and all of its branches, are owned by (and as such represent) the people (citizens), therefore everybody has a right to know all of the details about everything the civil servants are getting the public money, assets, and/or other types of resources involved with.
Permanently open the financial books for all to see.

I Slept with Ivan Daigle and other facts
Here are some more facts presented in the names of History and Truth:
Ivan Daigle (real name: Yvon Daigle), a current contestant on “Canada’s Got Talent”, was engaged to one of my sisters.
He dumped her less than a month before the scheduled wedding in 1992.
(Draw your own conclusions. Did he ever repay my sister and parents for the wedding expenses already spent?)
They dated between 1988 and 1992.
We slept together numerous times during that period. By “slept” I mean the act of sleeping, not having sex, because we had to share either a bed or a couch at my parents’ cottage. Anyway, I was a minor at the time.
Ivan was born in 1970, the same year as Paul Pellerin (aka: Paul A. Pellerin), my politician Moncton City Councilor brother-in-law. They went to the same schools together, including Mathieu-Martin High School in Dieppe, NB. Ivan grew-up on Purdy Avenue in Moncton, NB while Paul’s family lived on Wildwood Court in the area of the city known as Westbrook Circle, named after its principal road.
Since Paul began dating my other sister, Charline Cormier-Pellerin (aka: Charline C-Pellerin), in 1991, there was an overlap period of at least 6 months when they were both involved with my family.
Ivan, Charline, and Paul all worked together at Sobey’s on Mountain Road in Moncton, NB.
Ivan released at least one recording, the song "Making Love Doesn't Make It Love", while he was dating my sister. Paid for by CFQM as part of a prize, it may have only been released on a various artists promo CD sent to radio stations. The song was co-written with Patrick _______. Patrick also worked for Sobey's and was Charline's boyfriend for a period in 1990.
Ivan started using "Ivan" as a stagename instead of "Yvon" (his real one) because he felt that it would sound like "Yvonne" when said in English, which would make his name sound "gay". (That's what he said.)

Enough Is Enough
I've heard about violence in the Middle-East my entire life and have come to a conclusion: There will NEVER be peace in the Middle-East because THEY obviously DON'T WANT IT.
If the countries in the Middle-East did want peace, they would have found common ground a long, long time ago.
Since like most, if not all, of you*, I'm fucking annoyed that I've heard about their wars my whole life. Therefore, in my opinion, the rest of the world should say "Go Fuck yourselves, war-loving Middle-Eastern Countries!" and permanently ignor all of them while they keep killing each other for stupid reasons.
Why not make a fence a-la-Mexico/USA around all of those countries and prevent everyone from leaving?
That way, it would be "their" problem and our news stories would finally stop being littered with their violent bullshit.
Enough is enough.

He`s "Pas Boddre!"
A short, bald, sweating, somewhat spaced-out man got on a bus that I was on at approximately 8:38PM last night. He sat down and proceeded to examin a zip-lock bag that appeared to contain either marijuana or hashish. Upon opening the bag, he poured half of whatever it was into his hand and then ate it. He then rolled a joint, stuck it in his mouth and pulled the bus-cord to indicate that his stop was approaching. He got off. Awkard and uncomfortable ride to say the least.
From the zip-lock sequence onwards, I kept looking at him thinking "WTF!"
He`s "pas boddre"! (Acadian Chiac)

Everybody`s Doing It, So Why Don`t I? (They`re Asking For Fans)
In this fake-friend world of social networks and associated networking, everybody wants you to be a friend AND a fan (usually on Facebook).
For that reason, along with the saying "if you can`t beat them, join them", I made a Facebook Fan Page months ago and now i`m promoting it on this blog.
Feel free to join and be a fan: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bernard-C-Cormier/144013739003032

FICFA shines spotlight on short films
An annual tradition Metro movie buffs look forward to returns this week.
The Festival International du Cinéma Francophone en Acadie, also known as FICFA, has a mandate to present French-language films, including those made locally, to local audiences.
2010 marks the festival's 24th year in operation and it has grown steadily grown over the years, from the number of films presented to its visibility and cultural importance in the community.
Marie-Renée Duguay, executive director for Film Zone, Inc., the legal entity that owns and organizes the festival, agrees that FICFA has undergone a big transformation since its early years.
"The festival has evolved a lot in 24 years, for sure," she says. "When it started, it was over three days and there was maybe 15 films presented. Now, we have over 150 films presented.
"This year, we have over 35 programs we're presenting in our regular programming. We have a lot of parallel activities also, in the media arts component. That has also grown extensively in the last year."
Unlike most of the previous years, which mostly had short films presented before features, programming at FICFA is leaning more towards short films this year, which Marie-Renée believes is a film format deserving of its own audience.
"What is special about this year is the focus of the festival. We're focusing on short films. Everything we received this year as far as short films, what we had to select from, was such good material and so interesting, that we decided that it was really a good year to put the focus on that type of film to show to people that it's a genre unto itself."
The festival's programming committee divided the short films into many different blocks so that the individual films would be presented with others that share some type of similarity in terms of content or subject matter.
As an example, a programming block on October 1, entitled "Osez les court," will present what Marie-Renée calls "sexy short films" intended for an adult audience.
"They're either about sex or include a lot of sex!" says Marie-Renée, laughing. With titles like "La pilule" and "L'Amour à trois", it should not surprise anyone that these are foreign films. "(None of the) films in that program were made here, Most of them are from Europe or from Quebec!"
Despite a lack of local presence in the sexy programming, there will still be plenty of local short films screening at the festival. This year, many of them are works of fiction, which appears to be a conscious attempt to change the perceived notion that local films are usually documentaries.
"This year, there are a lot of short fiction films from here and that's really a novelty because, for a long time, people have been complaining that there's no fiction being done here," Marie-Renée says. "I think that if you look anywhere else in the world, before you have feature-length fiction films, you'll see the directors directing many short films. Here, it's kind of like nobody does that, really, so it was really interesting to see that finally some people are taking cameras and doing short fiction films."
There will be local short films presented during five different programming blocks.
They include: "Acadie courts" (Sept. 26), "Art sur roues" (Sept. 25), "Ciné-parc des Arts médiatiques" (Sept. 26), "Vues de chez nous" (Sept. 29), "Acadie Underground" (Sept. 30), and, finally, "Tremplin ONF" (Sept. 25), which does not exclusively consist of local productions. Although most don't, many of the presentations at FICFA will include English subtitles. Some can be enjoyed without subtitles, like "Miroir Noir" (2009), which is a documentary about music group Arcade Fire.
Despite existing in a bilingual community, FICFA insists on remaining a film festival mostly focused on presenting films that are intended to be seen in French.
"The festival was created for its francophone aspects so a mandate of the festival is really to serve the francophone community and also to interest the English community to what's going on in the francophone world and what's being created. I think the mandate is still appropriate for the festival because I think there's still a real need in the community to have some French cultural offers, specifically."
"I think there could be space for a second (film) festival," she adds, referring to possibilities of a film festival with more of an anglophone or bilingual programming focus.
FICFA will primarily take place at locations in Moncton and Dieppe between September 23 and October 2.
