LIGHTS! CAMERA!! RENDELLISM!!!!! Lately, if you've skimmed The Wrap.com's weekend box-office stories, you may have noticed a curious phrase: "after tax credits". This means, in one form or another, we the taxpayers are helping to finance rotten movees. A core tenet of RENDELLISM is that civic pride is a good, and that one way of boosting it is throwing tax dollars at location movee shoots and hoping some spare nickels and dimes roll back to us. EDDIE!!!!!, who can never get enough face time in the mirror and is about to enter a long and loud career in show-biz, is, needless to say, giddy about the prospects of burning money on masterworks like The Last Airbender, and creating thousands more high-paying jobs in foodservice -- or as this comment notes regarding a new Burbank on our suburban fringe, "I keep hearing about all these jobs the studio is creating but can't find word one about them (save Aramark jobs) on the web and NO response from Sun Center Studios....anyone else have better luck?" (Link added.) Well all we can say is keep trying, and if you can't get that richly remunerative job as an extra on a commercial someday Sun Center WILL shine on you -- for catering help!

Unfortunately the Commonwealth's new governor has taken lessons from Chris, which means with luck he'll slash and burn this tax giveaway.



And for her breathless hyperbole following a long and distinguished career of never finding a movee she didn't like, A NEUHARTHISM OF THE MONTH AWARD TO CARRIE!
