Awesome. You can take a look through the Flickr feed to scope out some snaps.

    This week, I got an e-mail from Julie Z. Rosenberg of the Brooklyn Creative League in Park Slope, asking about our newsletter. First off, I always appreciate when people reach out to others for a hand as well as Julie did, as she a great job by asking specific questions and keeping her message brief. I decided that it could be valuable to share what I shared with her on the blog for others, for future reference and posterity.

It proved to be an extremely valuable format for getting the community up to speed, introducing people, and seeing progress forward. On Tuesday, October 27th, we’re doing it again. The first of what we hope to continue as quarterly Town Hall meetings will allow the entire community, not just the paying membership, to come together to find out about…

In the past people have demoed projects, shared new tools they’d discovered that make their lives easier, or told stories about events they’d attended recently.

  • Oh My God

    It’s said that filmmakers suffer from a classic God-Creator complex, but Peter Rodger takes it to a new extreme. Aussie director/blowhard Rodger’s first film is a goofy, globetrotting documentary that gets in people’s faces and asks: “What is God?” Sadly, it really doesn’t delve much deeper than that. To be fair, it is impressive in its geographic breadth; Rodger travels from the Himalayas to Tanzania in his plainly indulgent quest, and he gets a few memorable answers. David Copperfield is surprisingly provocative, musing that if he had lived in another era…

  • The Messenger

    Ben Foster is the kind of actor who inhabits his roles so thoroughly, the first time you see him on screen, you assume whatever character he's playing is his sole métier -- the way he more or less actually is. Then you see him in a totally different role, equally as believable, and it begins to dawn on you he's one of the more talented actors of his generation. In his new film, he plays Will Montgomery, a war hero sergeant assigned to Casualty Notification detail along with a somewhat loose canon, Captain Stone (Woody Harrelson). Montgomery has been in the shit, lost his share of…

Meanwhile, Bella’s best friend, Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), is also in love with her … and apparently is also a werewolf. In this second round of Twilight mania, Edward abandons Bella in the small town of Forks, Washington because he wants her to lead a happy human life, vampire-free. To her dismay, Edward feels that a happy life…

The Messenger, largely improvised, is startling in its earnestness and portrayal of an aspect of the military not commonly documented on film. We sat down with Moverman and Foster to discuss the project. What originally inspired this screenplay? Oren Moverman: It started a few years ago over a casual conversation with my co-writer…

    20 Nov 2009 | 4:24 pm
    The Chicago Bears are losers of four of their last five contests. Their three primetime games this season have all resulted in losses, two of which were especially rich in turnovers. So why am I not convinced the Bears will lay an egg when they play the Eagles this Sunday night? Easy: they're playing at home.It's true, Jay Cutler has not fared well in night games this season, tossing a whopping 11 interceptions after dark. But his play at home has been steady if nothing else, and the Bears are beyond desperate for a victory. 4-6 would provide an early end to meaningful football in Chicago,…

    12 Nov 2009 | 4:03 pm
    Approximately 20 years ago, former Philadelphia Eagles superstar quarterback Randall Cunningham was featured on a cover of Sports Illustrated titled, “The Ultimate Weapon.”  Cunningham, 46, a four-time All-Pro selection who was awarded the PFWA NFL MVP in 1990, retired from the sport of football as an Eagle in 2002.   Since his unheralded departure from the gridiron, Cunningham has been relatively forgotten by the bulk of everyday football fans.  Although his play was periodically sporadic, Cunningham was a stellar signal-caller and he deserves to be considered a…

    At 12:01 a.m. on Nov. 20, baseball's shopping season began. The Phillies, however, are in no rush to buy. On the eve of the start of the free agent signing period, general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. described his approach to free agency as "aggressively patient," a contradiction in terms but also a reflection of the club's uncertainty over how the marketplace will develop. Last year, it was slow to take shape, with few teams (besides the Yankees) plunging head-first into the free agent pool. On Dec. 16, the Phillies satisfied their primary need by signing left fielder Raul Ibanez, then spent…

  • Oh My God

    It’s said that filmmakers suffer from a classic God-Creator complex, but Peter Rodger takes it to a new extreme. Aussie director/blowhard Rodger’s first film is a goofy, globetrotting documentary that gets in people’s faces and asks: “What is God?” Sadly, it really doesn’t delve much deeper than that. To be fair, it is impressive in its geographic breadth; Rodger travels from the Himalayas to Tanzania in his plainly indulgent quest, and he gets a few memorable answers. David Copperfield is surprisingly provocative, musing that if he had lived in another era…

  • The Messenger

    Ben Foster is the kind of actor who inhabits his roles so thoroughly, the first time you see him on screen, you assume whatever character he's playing is his sole métier -- the way he more or less actually is. Then you see him in a totally different role, equally as believable, and it begins to dawn on you he's one of the more talented actors of his generation. In his new film, he plays Will Montgomery, a war hero sergeant assigned to Casualty Notification detail along with a somewhat loose canon, Captain Stone (Woody Harrelson). Montgomery has been in the shit, lost his share of…

  • New Moon

    To recap -- Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) is a vampire living off the blood of animals, Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) is a relatively normal young woman. Bella and Edward are in love even though at any point he could lose restraint and kill her. Meanwhile, Bella’s best friend, Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), is also in love with her … and apparently is also a werewolf. In this second round of Twilight mania, Edward abandons Bella in the small town of Forks, Washington because he wants her to lead a happy human life, vampire-free. To her dismay, Edward feels that a happy life…

  • Speak Easy: Ben Foster & Oren Moverman

    In writer/director Oren Moverman’s subtle and deeply affecting new film The Messenger, Ben Foster ("Six Feet Under," 3:10 to Yuma) plays a casualty notification officer, responsible for informing families of the deaths of their loved ones in combat. The Messenger, largely improvised, is startling in its earnestness and portrayal of an aspect of the military not commonly documented on film. We sat down with Moverman and Foster to discuss the project. What originally inspired this screenplay? Oren Moverman: It started a few years ago over a casual conversation with my co-writer…

    When the season started one would imagine that quite a few Philly fans had this date circled on their calenders. Don’t believe me? Then explain this out cry of love for A.I and requests for his return from a large percentage of Sixer fans. Anyway, it’s just a game between two bad teams now. The Grizzlies being decidedly worse, but the Sixers also haven’t been the model of success. Here’s a preview: Sixers/Memphis All-time *The 76ers have a 19-8 record All-time against the Griz * Swept Memphis the last two seasons * 10-3 All-time at Home against Memphis * Andre Iguodala…

  • Rivalry Weekend for local college football teams

    20 Nov 2009 | 10:58 am
    Kevin McGuire, national college football writer for Examiner. com and frequent contributor to NittanyWhiteOut.com, is back for another look at this weekend’s local college football action. BCS or Alamo Bowl? That is the question for Penn State this weekend. To wrap up the regular season the Nittany Lions will take on Michigan State for the Land Grant Trophy. A win could keep Penn State in the running for an at-large berth in the BCS games but a loss could drop Penn State to playing in a bowl game before 2009 is over. To say this is a pivotal game is an understatement. Michigan State…

  • Should the Phillies bring back Pedro Martinez?

    Kieran Kelly
    19 Nov 2009 | 6:54 am
    When the Phillies signed Pedro Martinez during the season, few saw it coming. Not many expected the Phillies to be interested in him, yet alone sign him. But, sign him they did. Martinez, after a short stint on the disabled list to start his Phillies’ career, went out and performed much better than your typical 5th starter, which is where Martinez really slots in now. In his nine starts during the regular season, he had a record of 5-1, with the Phillies winning 8 of those 9 starts.  He pitched 44.2 innings and had a 3.63 ERA. Much better results than the Phillies were getting from the…

  • Elton Brand showing us some old school

    Mike Santa Barbara
    18 Nov 2009 | 7:54 pm
    All the gossip about Brand losing his starting spot must have inspired him. Elton was breaking it down old school against the Charlotte Bobcats. He finished with 19 points, 11 boards, 2 assist and 3 steals in just under 42 minutes. From the opening tip Brand seemed to have some pep in his step. Getting to lose balls, fighting for rebounds, stealing passes and taking them coast to coast for dunk finishes. He looked like Elton Brand circa 2006. It’s good timing for Brand, who has been criticized even more than usual lately. The real question is whether or not this is or isn’t a one…
