It’s Not Personal, It’s Business

By jelewis8 ⋅ May 28, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

As you know, I recently took the first step in what I hope will be a running stream of non-invasive and unobtrusive advertising that will help augment Fringe’s existence as a more networked, widely-read site. There comes a point in every blogger’s life when he sells his soul in order to keep doing the thing [...]

The Screening

By jelewis8 ⋅ November 17, 2006 ⋅ 2 comments

The great screening took place last night at my apartment, with a select group of discreet individuals whose cinematic opinions are valued and rated among the highest in the world. Their feedback will be going toward changing the film from a caramel lump into a sculpture of sugary delight. Which, if you haven’t guessed by [...]

Delusions of Fidelity

By jelewis8 ⋅ June 5, 2006 ⋅ 4 comments

Oh man oh man oh man! I’m excited for many different reasons, none of which have anything to do with my upcoming experiments for recording Skype interviews for future podcasts. This last time we had a fine time chatting with Tim Shabanowitz over in Boston Massachusetts about the weather and Serbian deli food, and we [...]

A Small Advertising Scheme

By jelewis8 ⋅ May 2, 2006 ⋅ One comment

I was offered some advertising revenue in exchange for five subdomains, which would point to advertisements for various services or products. Advertising on this site has always been a sore subject for me. I just don’t like it, I don’t want it, and I don’t want to subject my audience to it, however small or [...]

A Writer’s Most Valuable Lesson

By jelewis8 ⋅ April 6, 2006 ⋅ 2 comments

So often, one of a writer’s limitations is that tone of voice is disguised. You try to translate from the sounds you hear in your head, down to the rich nuances of your playful sarcasm, pauses, and even body language like eye rolls, to the screen, using a bunch of marvelously structured symbols from which [...]

pResentation of Red State

By jelewis8 ⋅ November 10, 2005 ⋅ 2 comments

It’s hard to self promote. At least, I find it to be. My own modesty notwithstanding, I rarely have the fortitude to continue the battle for hearts and minds once I’ve placed my finished sword on the table. As with any creation, without promotion of some kind, it will die a quick death. Infant Death [...]

Olympic Writing

By jelewis8 ⋅ November 9, 2005 ⋅ One comment

You don’t know what kind of pressure it is to always have something witty and worth reading. It’s akin to the Olympics, which has no earthly reason for existing other than sponsor profits. If you’re an Olympic athlete, you automatically have about ten times the normal amount of air sitting on your chest, because of [...]

Big Day For Progeny

By jelewis8 ⋅ April 18, 2005 ⋅ 7 comments

It’s over! The big event always happens sooner than you think, ends more quickly than you’d wish, and seems a distant memory so soon afterward. It’s the nature of the relativity of time to compress just after a moment heralded by great anticipation has passed. Progeny Festival was a huge success this year. The turnout [...]

RotK

By jelewis8 ⋅ December 3, 2003 ⋅ Post a comment

Someone saw a pre-release version of the Return of the King and now I am filled with envy of a cinematic nature. He’s got small picks and a few larger criticisms, but on the whole seems to think it the best effort of the trilogy of movies. The audience was made up of jaded film [...]
