Face Punch is a fun action drama trapped in a crappy Mormon propaganda film. Let's free it from New Moon!
I watched Twilight this weekend an did a live hate-tweeting of the experience. Later I went back and added some images and other content to the tweets. I think my favorite part of this crappy movie was when the characters went to see the crappy fictional movie, Face Punch
I actually could use to see a bit more of this Face Punch movie and am sure it would be better than New Moon. Since that's not quite possible, I did the next best thing: I transcribed the scene from New Moon and fleshed out the premise and characters a bit. Thus, the image above. (click it to see a larger view. it's also on Flickr).
Hey, here's a crazy idea. Anyone interested in writing the full script to Face Punch, the movie? Like the entire thing? I feel like this is something that should happen.

For the next few days, I'll be taking part in the #Pioneers conferene. Here's what that means
The Pioneers Sessions will celebrate the common values of creativity, diversity and entrepreneurship in Amsterdam and New York City and the two cities' shared history of urban greatness that began 400 years ago with the journey of the Dutch ship "Halve Maen," commanded by Captain Henry Hudson across the Atlantic in 1609. The sessions will bring together a group of selected Pioneers-today's cutting edge thinkers and entrepreneurs in diverse professional fields-for a transatlantic dialogue into the frontiers of civic engagement and social entrepreneurship in Amsterdam and New York City. Participants will be young professionals drawn from a broad range of fields including academia, the arts, business, health, education, government, grassroots activism, media and technology. Pioneers will gain knowledge and inspiration from exploring how innovative thinkers from different cities and disciplines are meeting the challenges of urban, social and civic engagement.
I'm one of 20 New Yorkers that went to Amsterdam in April to meet and work with 20 Amsterdammers as part of this Pioneers program. We listened to lectures, are touring each other's cities, workshopping and brainstorming on how to create the best cities we can. Over the next few days, NYC will play host to the Pioneers from Amsterdam, and I'll be posting updates to Twitter and Facebook from the conference. If you see the #Pioneers hashtag, this is what I'm talking about. To sample a bit more of what has come from our cultural exchange, check out this video I shot in April with Kirsten van de Hul discussing the (somewhat secret) history of Dutch dependence on slavery. and another
