Dark Knight Review
Posted July 22nd, 2008 by Sam Locke
Alright, I saw the new batman movie this weekend, and even went dressed up for it. (photo by Scott Goldstein)
Thing is, this wasn't the movie I expected to see.
I'd heard all of this hype that the film was a dark, dark movie... and that's not what I saw.
I went to the Music Box theater here in chicago, and was quite astounded to see that not as many people as I expected had shown up to watch the premiere. I'd originally thought I was just lucky to get tickets when I did. But, oh well, everyone else's loss. The lights dimmed, and the film started.

I'll be posting a review of my thoughts on "The Dark Knight" later this weekend.
Karl Rove is a Bigger Asshole than I thought !

Jake Tapper of ABCNews posted the following entry to his excellent Blog, Political Punch:
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/06/rove-obamas-the.html
I HIGHLY recommend that you read it in it's entirety, but these are the juiciest excerpts:
ABC News' Christianne Klein reports that at a breakfast with Republican insiders at the Capitol Hill Club this morning, former White House senior aide Karl Rove referred to Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, as "coolly arrogant."
Sam Locke: Director?
Posted June 18th, 2008 by Sam Locke
Hey readers,
I know, I know, it's been a good while since I've posted. I've been really busy!
I'm directing a 20 minute show for the Wednesday Night Triple Feature at the Annoyance Theater in Chicago. The show is "Love.gov" and is basically Orwell's "1984" except instead of Big Brother, the world is ruled by Match.com. The show's going great, but directing (even a twenty minute show) takes alot more time than one would assume.

...And he's going to be joined by his Pal, Uncle Sam, in a series of shorts which should debut sometime during the last two weeks of June. Keep your eyes peeled!
SaysMe.tv

Some of you may have noticed that we've been doing a lot more very short videos with the Action Figures--25 seconds long to be exact. The reason for this particular length is because of a startup internet site called Saysme.tv Their site is built around the notion that individuals, as well as candidates, political parties and special interest groups, should have the ability to easily and affordably buy television ad spots to get their messages out.
What's Happening at Britethorn?
Posted May 6th, 2008 by John Kramer
As some of you may have noticed, we've been putting up a lot more vlog style films, as opposed to our Action Figure films or more traditional pieces. There are several reasons for this situation, most of which revolve around the fact that we're doing a LOT of waiting these days.
Our LA Trip
Posted April 8th, 2008 by John Kramer
Well, we're back from our Pitch meeting in LA and Aaron and I both feel fantastic about the job we did in our meeting at Columbia Studios. We had two film projects which we put before one of Sony's Senior VP's, and we did about as good of a job with them as one could ever hope for.
This and That
Posted March 29th, 2008 by John Kramer
Well, Aaron and I had a terrific time in San Francisco meeting with the good people of Crackle.com. They've been SUPER helpful in getting us ready for our pitch meeting with Columbia Studios in LA on this coming Friday, April 4th.
Unfortunately, with all the work we're doing on the pitches for Columbia, its been very hard to do much in the way of posting new videos to YouTube, Crackle or Myspace. We should have something new up on Monday, the last day of March, which we think will be VERY fun. Please keep an eye open for it.
More Sam Stand Up Anti-Humor
Posted March 27th, 2008 by Sam Locke
Hi guys! I've posted two more videos of my recent stand up performance at "O.I.N.K!" at the playground theater here in Chicago. For some reason, again, the blog is not allowing me to post the actual videos, so I've only posted the links. Be a bit warned, it's more akin to "Anti-humor performance art" than normal stand up comedy, so it's a bit different than when I've played Bush or Jordan in the Britethorn videos. :) thanks a bunch, and definately rate the videos, and comment! I'd love to hear what you think.
