...we begin shooting the craziest film project that I've yet embarked upon!
How crazy? Looks like I'm gonna have to be notifying the local law enforcement agencies about it so that we won't be getting arrested during filming. Considering that we've a special guest star who's come all the way from western Europe, the last thing we want happening is our lil' movie creating an international diplomatic crisis.
I would pay good money to see that headline depicted as an illustration in the National Police Gazette.
It happened folks... and not just anywhere but right here in Reidsville, North Carolina (though more than a few friends have noted that this sort of thing is already inherent to this town's nature).
A 55-year-old North Carolina woman was taken to the hospital after her husband loaded a gun with toilet paper and shot her in the back early Tuesday morning, according to the Rockingham County Sheriff's Office.
Lonnie Irvin Pinnix, 38, of 951 Garrison Rd., was charged with assault with a deadly weapon for allegedly shooting his wife after she returned to their home shortly after midnight.
According to the sheriff's office, Darlene Pinnix came home and found her husband agitated. She lay down on the bed, but Lonnie Pinnix held a pistol and told her to get up. Before she could, he fired, hitting her in the back.
Darlene Pinnix suffered a powder burn from the gunshot. She was taken to the hospital for treatment.
Lonnie Pinnix told police he loaded the pistol with toilet paper instead of bullets and shot his wife because she would not leave.
His bond was set at $1,000. He's scheduled to appear in court August 11.
I know this area has been hit especially hard by the economic downturn... but it's still pretty bad when a man has been reduced to loading his shootin' irons with toilet paper. I mean, if you're going to get serious with non-lethal loads, at least consider using a 12-gauge double-barreled shotgun firing a load of rock salt...
As of last night there's a bunch of us that are plotting to make it to Comic-Con next year in San Diego. None of us have been to one so we figured we'd make an epic cross-country road trip out of it.
I just wish I could have been at Comic-Con this year, 'cuz this afternoon that's where Disney unloaded this intense trailer for Tron Legacy!
If you can't watch the YouTube embed, don't fret 'cuz this thing is pretty much everywhere tonight.
So I'm able to get back into blogging this evening and the perfect story lands in my lap for it...
A man dressed as Darth Vader - complete with helmet and cape but curiously camouflage pants - robbed a Chase bank in Setauket on Long Island in New York this morning. "Vader", described as being 6'2", brandished a handgun at the bank teller (I'm compelled to comment: "So uncivilized...") before fleeing the premises with a drawer-full of cash.
Regardless of who we are, in the end God gives each of us nothing less than what we most sincerely desire. If we desire God, He abundantly gives us that relationship. If we don't want God at all, He will grant that absence. When nothing else is left, it can't be said that He has been less than fair to us.
...which will bring the total number of movies that I've seen this summer to three. And I ain't reviewed any of 'em yet! So I'll prolly unload those tomorrow.
(Hey, it's hard to see and write about movies when you're prepping to shoot your own. And I ain't even mentioned the international cast that's coming in next week for this thing...)
