Welcome To Richard Porter's Blog


A beautifully made short film titled 'Happy Birthday' written and directed by Ryan Thompson



Happy Birthday from Color Chart on Vimeo.

Thompson mixes up the shooting to keep the story, such that it is, moving along. Some of it’s real guerrilla street theater. Some of it’s very stylized. Some of it’s quick and dirty. Some of it’s nicely blocked. But, even though it mixes up these styles, there’s a consistency of vision throughout the entire film.

The Perfect Sales Pitch


It should be lengthy enough to seem substantial yet concise enough to feel breezy. It should be serious but with a slight wink. It should lay out a new course of action but one that can change direction at any moment. If you must mention facts and figures, don't do so directly. The general thrust should remain embedded in one's mind forever but specific words should be forgotten the moment they are heard. It should contain nothing that can't be confirmed or denied.

Ted Nugent - Faded 70's Rocker Develops 'Cat Scratch Fever' - Now Being Investigated By Secret Service For Threatening President Obama!


Speaking at the National Rifle Association over the weekend the American Psycho is quoted as saying the following:

"It's good people who bent over and let the enemy in. If the coyote's in your living room pissing on your couch, it's not the coyote's fault. It's your fault for not shooting him."

"If Barack Obama becomes the president in November again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year," he said angrily. "We need to ride into that battlefield and chop their heads off in November."

He then told his audience of proud gun-owners that if they failed to "clean house in this vile, evil, America-hating administration, I don't even know what you're made out of."

The Secret Service says it's aware of the weekend remarks and is looking into them.

Romney had this to say in response: "Ted Nugent represents everything I now stand for."

The Idiot and Satan - 4 Newly Released Memos Deem Bush's Interrogation Policies 'War Crimes'

JAN. 26, 2002 In a memorandum to the White House, Secretary of State Colin L. Powell said the advantages of applying the Geneva Conventions far outweighed their rejection. He said that declaring the conventions inapplicable would "reverse over a century of U.S. policy and practice in supporting the Geneva Conventions and undermine the protections of the laws of war for our troops." He also said it would "undermine public support among critical allies."
