…(John McCain)
During the Vietnam War, Republican presidential nominee Senator John McCain survived air-combat missions, a bayonet wound, countless injuries, torture but, perhaps most harrowing of all, an extended stay as a prisoner of war at the Hanoi Hilton.

So sometimes I’m a late comer to the party… But then again, late or not if the party ROCKS than my motto is better late than never.
So what am I talking about? Witnessing something that has been witnessed by millions of people (8,534,749 before me to be exact). Matt Harding is a Filmmaker and world [...]

Lennie Appelquist McCain Calls Obama “The One” Lennie Appelquist
Lennie Appelquist Lennie Appelquist Lennie Appelquist

Hey, it works for me…

So John McCain does it again… Trying to discredit Barak Obama’s “cool factor”. Why is it that Mr. McCain can’t talk about what he’s gonna do. I used to like him, before he started to take advise from Bush’s cronies… Off shore drilling et al….
A week or so ago, [...]

Everything I learned About Marketing, I learned From Paul Stanley of KISS!

Not quite but I’ll tell you what. If you pay attention to any great rock front man or woman, you will notice a couple of very clever tactics.
Dateline Sunday July 20th… So there I was indulging in a guilty pleasure… Let me back up. [...]

The Dark Night just had the biggest 1 day box office ever. This movie is huge in a lot of respects. Did you know that 20 minutes of the movie is shot in the ultra huge IMAX format?

I just stopped by the Huffington Post and discovered that Starbuck’s has annouced the 600 stores it is shuttering. Admittedly, I was very nervous glancing through the list.
Sadly, I found 1 single Starbucks that used to be my regular spot: The corner of Lincoln and Montana Ave in Santa Monica… Years ago, I would meet [...]

This is part of the article I read…
Barack Obama’s campaign is condemning as “tasteless and offensive” a New Yorker magazine cover that depicts Obama in a turban, fist-bumping his gun-slinging wife.

So here’s what I did:
I wanted to recreate my old main page (which was an html page) within the wordpress blog structure. So that’s what I did. Now everything [...]

Lennie Appelquist School vs. Career Lennie Appelquist
Lennie Appelquist Lennie Appelquist Lennie Appelquist

I have been getting a lot of questions about film school vs starting one’s career.
So here’s my opinion, for what it’s worth. In school you will never get the real story on how the big boys (and girls) make movies. Period. What you will get is a lot of stepping stone information. [...]
