Usually this time of the year I travel to Bloemfontein which is approximately 300 miles south of here and screen films at the Volksblad Arts Festival which you can find at www.volksbladfees.co.za. This is also when Brother Cheezeflix wishes me and my native bearers  Wink a safe journey across the crocodile infested Vaal River. I keep trying to tell him that we actually have motorized transport here and that there is a tarred road across the bridge, but I cannot convince him otherwise.   Buggedout

 Unfortunately, one of the festival's main sponsors pulled out and it just so happens that this sponsor controls the purse for the film festival so I wasn't able to go this year. It's sad really: I liked doing it.  Thumbup

You know, Trevor, you like to say that SA is not all crocodiles in the rivers and lions walking the streets, but I wonder if you're just pulling our leg. Just how many lions did you see on the street when you got up this morning? Be straight with me, man.

No lions, but there was a lot of growling to be heard, most of which came from my stomach because I didn't have breakfast this morning.  Wink

LOL


Just recently I've seen Ghost Son (2006) by Lamberto Bava (filmed in South Africa) and the place was crawling with wild animals...

Actually South Africa looks like a cool place to be, you could walk the streets and pet a giraffe or get eaten by a crocodile... much more interesting then living in Chicago... although after getting eaten by the 10th Mosquito I'll be singing a different song... :)

Correction... except in Chicago... King Daley keeps saying "no!" Although the criminals (the gangs) do have their guns... 9 people were shot over the weekend... Gee I think I can deal with a roaming Tiger then street punks that hold the weapon sideways because it looks cool.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
