ABC Season's Greetings!
What better way to celebrate Christmas than to watch violent movie trailers on TV?
Normally I like to watch NBA games on Christmas while cooking in the kitchen, especially when the Cavs play the Warriors, but this year I had to turn off the TV before halftime. The horribly violent movie trailer commercials failed to add anything festive to my mood. Forgive me if I don't want to see Deadpool "sharing bullets" on the holidays. Or the gun-infested H8ful Eight. Or the gun-slingin' fools in Ride Along 2. Or the Michael Bay movie of war & violence.
Just this past December there was a mass shooting, terrorist attack, and random acts of assorted violence in America, only a sick culture would promote the glorification of fictitious violence on its most sacred Holiday. And only a brainless depraved audience would be entertained.
The only sane alternative to this brutish spectacle is to keep the television off. And so I pulled the plug before my Holiday spirit was ruined. I replaced the noise with music.
Music has the power to uplift the soul, whereas ABC tries to crush it.

Future Projects
It's the new year. Resolutions and bucket lists have been devised and revised. It's no different for Heattwave Productions. The AnonMan short movie has been submitted to 20 film festivals. That was just the 1st wave of submissions. There are many more to come in 2017.
Here are the future projects for Heattwave Productions:
-AnonMan novel: will be packaged with the short movie, and taken to the 2017 AFM.
-Highway of Tears: screenplay, shooting schedule, budget, and shot list are ready. A found footage horror movie set in Canada. Plans for a trilogy.
-Silver Fang graphic novel: graphic novel script and panel outlines are ready, just looking for the right artist. Screenplay is ready also. Franchise potential.
-Website startup company: the best ideas are the ones that withstand time. A couple years ago I had a great idea for a website to benefit humanity, and 2017 is the year it finally begins.
2016 was a productive year as I directed my first professional short movie. 2017 will be even better. We only have a finite amount of time; might as well be creative.
Creativity is the only thing that gives this farce called life any meaning. I gauge success with achieving goals. Surviving 365 days each year are a series of successes blended with creativity. Each day is a stepping stone to create something worthwhile.
Happy New Year! I hope everyone creates in 2017. Everyone has talent, now is the time to use it.

Terminator review
This movie review was "declined" by IMDB because freedom of speech is not practiced by that website. Luckily I have a blog:
Terminator review
Title: John Connor is his own father!
Now that I'm older, more observant, and dare I say wiser, I cannot believe I used to watch movies like the Terminator and think they were entertainment. The first Terminator is a series of mass shootings in public places. The insidious plot of the sequel has the audience rooting for the mass murderer of the first movie. Violence punctuated by punchlines delivered by a 21st century Nazi Frankenstein.
Watch Terminator 1 and 2 back to back and you'll see that it is an Oedipus movie. The only difference is that Oedipus didn't know he was boinking his own mother, while John Connor travels back in time specifically for that reason. There is no Kyle Reese...that is the madeup name John Connor uses. In the sex scene in the first movie there's a refrigerator with a brand name that almost spells out incest. Reese/John Connor tells Sarah, "I always loved you." Sarah says this exact same line to John in T2. And the picture of Sarah Connor was given to John from Sarah. There is no Reese. Open your eyes, sheeple! Hollyweird is ran by sickos and you've been conned into enjoying incest entertainment.
The American people were spoonfed gun violence as entertainment throughout the 80s and 90s. No wonder there's mass shootings everywhere now.
A way to destabilize a democracy: give the country 40% of the world's guns then give them Nazi entertainment that romanticizes those guns then fracture the populace to the point where they use those guns on each other.
It appears the 4th Reich are winning.
