Never a dull moment... Wow, what a show!! Anyway, I am glad Marco won the contest. My guesses were only from those that were on the list of contestants. With all due respect to the rules, the only two that are eligible is 1 Victor and 2 Marco anyway right?

i tried to do it but had
i tried to do it but had comp issues and rob could not help me edit and I could not edit on IMOVIE... I know IMOVIE but I don't have a real editing program due t Rob... I do plan to still finish my video due to the fact I had something that would have set my video apart from All the videos. I only had 2 days to try and do it since the feature I am on is taking ALL my time along with my family and a "REAL". Excuses are like asshole, and thats how I feel for letting down EZ and another who I can not name. All I can do now is finish.... Which one was marcos?
2 video...
Was Marcos.
PJ was on the front page of BTR with KC radio prior to the show, when the show opened a "LIVE" appeared on the picture on the front page, at 4:15 p.m. PST I re-loaded the front page of BTR and the KC/PJ "feature" was gone.
Looking forward to hearing from those that know Dan as to what happened and why?
You know
Last time I talked to him I said he needed to put up a photo of him with all his emmys. Think that will happen?
Who knows!
www.gullablefilmakers.com
I hoped Dan would deliver, I even had questions ready:
1. Did you ever meet in person either of the two people portrayed in Heavenly Creatures? Juliet Hulme and Pauline Parker?
2. Kate Winslet was one of 175 girls who auditioned for the role of Juliet Hulme, what was it at the time, got her the role and was there any famous runners up?
Clever
How you know I am 1 and Marco 2
it was suppose to be secret
I am so so so happy if you are right
explain all about
becouse
All it´s part of the plane!!
Yo Ho!!!
hmm... I've been coming
hmm... I've been coming across a lot of compulsive liars lately.
This is how I knew 2 was Marco's
On a Dark and Stormy Night - Rachel Lynn - SIN CITY version from karmapirate44 on Vimeo.
Guilty as charged
This whole semi-transparent layer over layer over layer I guess, is my signature :)
I'm humbled that Rachel would choose my work, and therefore I'll try to improve it... I need to upp the quality for DVD release, fix a little of the white balance, timing, little details that bother me...... I'll be working on it in the following days.
Thanks to all contestants for pulling through. When the deadline came, and I saw only 2 videos were done, honestly, my heart sank. I was NOT in a good mood that day, working until 4 am, I was mostly embarrased to Rachel Lynn, afraid to dissapoint her. But thanks to Captains Peceno and Xarach, we ended up with a contest, and of course EZ showed us the way! Thanks so much to all three of you, truly.
As for Peter Jackson... well, we sure ended up with egg on our faces. I guess we all have a lot of questions for Dan Gadberry. I don't know what to think guys. I'm still shocked I guess, I haven't digested in my head just what the implications are for what happened. Man. Oh man oh man.
Anyway... never a dull moment, you're very right John.
Okay...
...I could come up with reasons why PJ did not call in, if he planned to, that would be easy.
What I hope is that Dan did not intentionally PUNK KC, because, mainly, you Marco, have treated him like gold and that would be the big suprise, that makes no sense, why he would do that to YOU personally?
Was he mad about something?
What was the motive?
"He was a great neighbor, kept to himself, and always waved hello."
I hope someone that knows Dan can figure out what happened. He really won Emmy's right?
www.gullablefilmakers.com
All I know
Is when he talked to me the other night he said he'd called Peter's manager to confirm and was told that Peter was having cold feet because he'd listened to our previous broadcast and had been offended by the content. Something about shooting cops, I don't know. He said he was going to call the manager again and try to smooth things over so he would be on the show. That's the last anyone ever heard from him. It would be very, very, sad indeed if Dan were pulliing the wool over our eyes this whole time especially since we all thought of him as our friend and trusted him. Someone needs to do some research on this before we jump to any conclusions. All we have is a no show and an anonymous phone caller who said it was never set up in the first place. We need some proof.
As for Video Number 1 - Victors
That was by process of elimination and deductive reasoning, you were the only other person that I could tell was making another video.
I thought number one may have been Davonie's submission, till I found Davonie's by searching "karmapirate" on vimeo and say his trademark "tire tracks" visual near the end.
You kind of a smart fellow
here we go, since all the karma pirates watch the way
Captain Peceno use to works
I mean me walking on the grapes
since our own Karma Pirate Marco won the contest
I want all of you to see how I feel
Congrats To my Brother Marco!!!!!!
but it was all part of the plane ;-)
http://es.
For the record...
I think Marco ran the contest fairly and the results pleased Rachel )that is the most important).
The only thing I would change if I had a time machine and knowing both the future and present simultaneously would be to suggest that the "Rachel" footage have been shot in widescreen format instead of 4x3.
Meredith
I am glad Marco won
only two people ran the contest fairly
Marco is my brother
I just was waiting, to post the song above becouse it is funny
once you saw me walking on the grapes
that is all!!
here it is everything clear
Here is the lesson in making music videos.
1) you have to sell the artist. Stay close to the vision of their song and interpret it with images.
2) it's their song. so you have to represent them well. Your images are a celebration of their music.
3) This is the perfect example of a collision of arts. Music meets
picture. When doing this, you have to listen carefully to not only the
sound, the voice--but the heart and soul. What you want to do is
capture moments and make them work with the feeling.
4) Since this is the title track to a film, the challenge was not
only to slam a song and image together, but also make it work with not
only the tone of the film, but what the film is about. I believe all
the submissions did that.
Wisdom words from Ezequiel!
WHAT A FUCKING EMBARRASMENT
I am utterly more than displeased with this shit.
First of all, congrats to Marco for winning the contest! Go pirate!
But I must address this bullspit. There is actually two things.
1) Here on karmacritic, we stand for standards. We were put in the dirt, face first today by someone we thought we trusted. WRONG.
From now on, I'm following my gut instinct and I'm gonna stop being a nice person giving people chances.
2) Brad Youngs. So many times I try to be cool. I like you as a person. But you're a FUCK UP.
Did you all know that he was working at first as a producer on my film. I let him go cause he didn't do shit.
For this music video, he had Juan Riendinger, the star of my film go shoot an added soon for the music video. Juan went out of his way (he's in canada) for no money, had to get a DP and a camera to shoot this new scene. All for what? Brad didn't do anything as always. You embarass me. And by the way, Juan Riedinger isn't too happy either.
Brad you're out. Never call me again. EVER.
The same with you Dan Gadberry. I don't want to be associated with either of you. EVER AND NEVER.
Even though you aren't crazy, you're on my list there next to Emerson Bixby.
One thing is fucking around. But another thing is fucking around with a person's reputation...and business. You have done both.
_____________
I personally, have worked too hard to deal with shit like this. From now on, I will be the meanest and most truthful motherfucking pirate on this site. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY.
Dan Gadberry. FUCK YOU.
Brad Youngs. FUCK YOU.
And to every other motherfucker that doesn't like me for this. FUCK YOU.
You know, as much as I like to have fun making fun of John Meredith for whatever fun reasons, at least this sonuvabitch doesn't lie or attempt to fuck people over.
PIRATES. I move for a vote of no confidence in Brad Youngs and Dan Gadberry.
I MOVE FOR A VOTE TO DEMOTE Brad Youngs from the title of captain here on our beloved website.
AND YES. THIS IS OUR WEBSITE. And we must protect it no matter what. We must stand together and unite for reasons that are right.
That's it. I won't fire the pirate cannons, cause the cannons fired back on those that suck.
EZEQUIEL
It was a great show
In spite of Dan's fuck up. It really sucks though that we have to learn lessons like this and in this business we're constantly learning them. Because of course it seems to attract more than it's share of con men/wannabees. And yet we always want to believe the best in people. I'm inclined to agree though. Don't trust anyone until they prove themselves to you because so many people are just talk. I hate to say it but in my book Dan's guilty untli proven innnocent. You just don't do friends that way.
One think I can say is EZ and Marco have always been more than honest about everything, that's why I trust them. These guys don't put up any smoke screens, if they make mistakes they admit it and we all learn from it. That's the main reason I've stuck with this site because it's hard to find truly honest individuals these days.
So pump out the bilge and sail on.
ONCE AGAIN, GREAT WORDS FROM THE LADY PIRATE
Christine, you rock baby
EZEQUIEL
We needed at least a full hour anyway on the show...
...to cover the video contest, so maybe things happen for a reason.
I think the Pirate's did good with the video contest.
Rachel sounded sincerely very happy with the results. The videos a very good.
Mission Accomplished.
By the way, the MTV Video music awards are on tonight, red carpet at 8 p.m., show 9 p.m. (PST for TV-Live now online somewhere I suppose).
this is so high school...
this is so high school... demote me from what? I told you I was having major issues with my comp since I dont have a "real" editing software. I have talked with Juan via email and he was not pissed.
As for your movie, I stepped down from producing your film to do Levi's film Dark as Day, I was NEVER let go by you.
I still plan to finish the video and even offered Juan $$$$$$$$$ MONEY for his time and mailing of the video, go a head and ask him.
Regarding calling you, no need since I have deleted your#, so don't worry about that.
Back to the video thing. I mentioned to YOU and MARCO that I was slammed with time due to PRADA ( HHHmmm work on a feature or do a video that won't make the DVD due to not being able to edit, I pick Feature) and was not able to get to it until thur. I loaded the footed onto my MAC and was not able to get the footage to play on IMOVIE and was not able to have Rob help out due to him being sick.
I DEMOTE myself. I own a REAL boat and that is the boat I am captain of.
Marco, congrates on a GREAT video, I did think yours was the best, ask Victor. I want to wish EVERYONE all the best with all there projects and what ever dreams you chase, yes even you EZ.
All the best,
Brad
ACTUALLY YES
You were let go by me cause you didn't do shit! Where is "dark as day?" Where is "blind eye?", where is your alien head movie?
I don't even have to call you out cause everyone knows all you do is blah.
And why are you going to do the video? it doesn't matter anymore. Juan is pissed. I'm pissed. And I'm pissed at myself cause I should have told Juan not to do it. But I had one more ounce of faith in you. Now there is none. And you made me look bad. Unacceptable.
Get your act together.
EZEQUIEL
Dark as day in half funded
Dark as day in half funded and we are trying to raise the other 1.5. Levi is currently scouting locations in New Orleans.
Blind Eye is in delvelopment, check it out on IMDPpro, it there and verifies by IMDB.
I wish I was as perfect as you.
YOU WISH YOU WERE AS PERFECT AS ME? HAHA
I never said I was perfect. In fact, I make a lot of mistakes. And most of my mistakes come in judgement calls. Sometimes, I'm way to nice and trusting of people that don't deserve that care.
I don't care what the IMDB says. I know people that have IMDB credits for movies that were never finished.
I have to state this again man, you have continuously proven yourself to be a blah! All you do is talk. I mean, you do have the potential to do something and you do know some people, but you don't do anything.
And you fucking with Juan Riedinger really made me angry. You are the perfect example of many people that I know that always say they're doing eight different things when you should focus on one AND FINISH ONE.
Man, I know high powered big producers that don't have as many projects as you do. You sound ridiculous. You're not a person that is self aware. You talk about the game, but you're not playing the game.
If I was a dumb ass too, you know what I would do right now in attempt to impress everyone? I'd list every screenplay I've written and say they're all in development.
What the fuck? haha
Jokes are funny for a reason.
GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER.

Fight Fight Fight Fight...
hAhA...
heres my 2 cents for these events...
I'm thankful for even being shown dis trail, where I found a lot of things... :)
I learned in life... da trail that we think is our only one, leads us to other trails. Da greatest ones are da ones we find, not da ones we already know and want, which ends up being da ones we can never have...
I dunno... I starting to talk bubbles... bye... hAhA
69th Street Bridge
Alright here it is:
What Dan did wrong is really very simple. Instead of coming on the show and saying anything at all, he just laid us out there. Now, I don't give a tinker's fuck if he came on and said, "Petey got a look at Sugar's ugly mug and decided he'd rather suck dead camel ass than talk with all of us for ten seconds, let alone ten minutes." Fuck, I'd have rather he said that- anyfuckingthing at all would've been better then leaving off. Instead what he did was he blew off his responsibility to Marco and all of the rest of us by ignoring repeated phone calls. He left us hanging out to dry, and where I come from, that makes you fucking dogpiss. You don't ever turn your back on your boys, not no fucking way, not no fucking how. You're just goddamned lucky in this life if you ever manage to find a handful of people who'll watch your back, but the door always swings two ways. Dan fucked us, not in that he didn't land the big fucking fish (anybody with a modicum of sense could've seen that one coming), he fucked us because he didn't give us some cover when he not only could have, he fucking should have. So, as far as that goes, I got nothing left on the subject. Fuck it, man.
If it's just ridiculous, it's bad.
IF IT IS RRIIIDDDIICCUUULLOOUUSS, then it's okay.
Emergency
Well, it seems I missed a hell of a whole lot. In case nobody noticed, I had to hang up on the show about ten minutes in, and I must apologize to Rachel Lynn for not hanging around long enough to hear her announce the winner. You see, I had an emergency; nay, a crisis unfold in the blink of an eye.
As I listened to Rachel talk about the videos, I noticed my dog, Sonny walking, strangely. He was stumbling as if drunk. This was cause for concern because my dog does not drink. Then, in the blink of an eye, Sonny fell to the ground and started having convulsions before my eyes.
Sonny is all I have. I regard him more than any human I know, and if I were to lose him, a part of me would shrivel up and die.
That being said, once I saw Sonny lose control, fall, and have what looked like a bad seizure, I sort of lost interest in the video contest, and couldn't really focus on what Rachel was saying, anyway. So I hung up and had to find an animal emergency hospital open on Sunday. There aren't many, believe me.
By the time I was in the car, Sonny stopped the shakes, but he was breathing irregularly. He was panting harder and heavier than he ever has, and his heartbeat was fast and erratic. Needless to say, I was frightened. I thought he was a gonner.
Long story short, the vet gave him what I guess was a sedative, because he immediately started to breathe easier. However, she was stumped as to the cause. So I took Sonny home.
As if I didn't have enough on my mind, I still had to work a shift at my stupid day job. I wasn't really feeling it at the coffee-serving place tonight. But I'm home now, and for those interested, Sonny is resting comfortably and seems to be recovering.
As for the events on today's show, congratulatons, Marco. On the PJ no-show, can't say I'm surprised. It seemed like a long shot from the start. Let's wait and see what Dan has to say for himself.
By the way, Rachel Lynn is amazing.
That is all.

GLAD TO HEAR
Glad to hear that sonny is fine!

Mr. Turz
I hope Sonny continues to get better. Sonny is cute dog by the way
I have always had a family dog ever since I was a kid.
Right now, we have a great dog named PLUTO (of course). She is wonderful. We adopted her from an animal shelter about 8 years ago.
Over the last few years, you can see that she is getting older, walks a bit slower, looks different a bit.
I know how you feel.
Pluto
You named her after the planet, right?
Please say yes. I hope you wouldn't name a child after a cartoon DOG!
"Baffling the critics since 1971."
What a bad day
Man, I'm glad Sonny is recovering, Jeez, what's up with last sunday?! Some sort of curse fallen on us....! ... but we made it through, specially your dog, and I'm glad to hear he's doing better. He looks sooo cute in the picture...
Also, thanks for the congratulations man! I'm really honored, most of all I'm glad Rachel is pleased. There's always a silver lining :)
I am a Disney Fan
Pluto is named after Mickey Mouse's dog Pluto. It was a unanamous family choice.
I have to give you props for your dogs "Italian" name, Sonny, named after one of my favorite movie characters of all time from the Godfather, not to mention greatest performances by an actor.
You are correct, Sir!
My dog's full name is Santino Roo-Roo Tursi.
He goes by Sonny.
As for Pluto, I prefer the planet. Yes, I still refer to it as a planet despite what the "scientists" say.
I even blogged about it, way back when...

Pluto
Hold on, Professor...
She doesn't look anything like Pluto!
No, no, no. Something doesn't add up here.
"Baffling the critics since 1971."
Pluto is angry-she thinks she looks like Pluto
She is summoning Mickey as we speak.
I don't fear Mickey.
I'll just call on my homies, The MUPPETS for backup.
