via Jackamoe Buzzell “Representative Dennis J. Kintigh, a Republican from Roswell, NM has written a bill that, if passed will kill the New Mexico tax incentives. Call him at 505-986-4453 and 575-623-1258 and then email him at askdennis@denniskintigh.com and let him know that we want the incentives to stay. WE WANT THE INCENTIVES TO STAY!! Please get the word out to everyone!!!!! Let’s show him that we mean business!!!”
UPDATE 1/10/11: It was announced today that New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez proposes DECREASING the NM Film Tax Subsidy to 15% from the current 25%…
It is just as unlikely that Governor-elect Susana Martinez will up and abandon her post as the head of our great state, as it is that she would be relegated to Reality TV infamy – ours is leading-lady material – Will she step-up to the role?
Sometimes starlets don’t have the right people around them à la Loca Lohan, and sometimes they’ve got a few screws loose à la Debra Winger.
Well NM can’t afford to let our latest star fall. Come Jan. 1 our principal player is Susana Martinez, when she takes center stage as our new Governor. We will then be her cast & crew – this show hinges on her success so let’s get behind her and in front of her – at the sound stage that is the Roundhouse.
NEWSFLASH:
Early this month Los Angeles flexed its tax incentives to try to curb the industry’s blood letting into the runaway Chuck Wagon that’s made so many trips here to New Mexico – Make sure our leading lady and her round house know you want them to hold these reins and keep a wrangle on what’s ours!
Tex./N. Mex Casting Agency On Location Casting has been tapped to refer NEW MEXICO families to Johnson’s Baby, for a new ad campaign – they are currently seeking:

We have let them know that we also have a lot of great families in Texas, Tennessee, St. Louis, Louisiana, Las Vegas and various other parts of the country so send in your famliy and help make us look good!! Spread the word!
(*…they are NOT looking for families in Los Angeles).
If you and your family/baby are chosen, this spot will be shot on 1/12/11 so you would need to have open availability on that date.
If you fit the casting specs and are interested in submitting, please see the Johnson’s casting notice below. Please DO NOT submit directly to On Location Casting as they are not handling the submissions, however in order for OLC to be recognized for sending you to the casting you MUST specify when submitting that you were “sent by Tina Kerr at On Location Casting“.

Like the too little known quote from Barbara Walters to her adopted daughter:
“…born in my heart. Maybe not in my uterus, but in my heart,”
So is our beloved adopted crew thar’ above. True Grit may have an eccentric birth mother in California and ruffneck pa in Texas, but for a time the Grit was all ours.
And we love ‘em and root for ‘em and take a little applause for the Coen Bros flick for ourselves as True Grit opens WIDE today.
Just look at that movie poster through the eyes of the proud care takers we were. Memmer the April snow? Youmemmer…
Look at ‘em – the bestest lil’ actor out there, our repeat NM actor, Mr. Matt Damon, the Oscar Winner Jeff Bridges (for his turn in NM movie Crazy Heart) and that strapping, turk Josh Brolin from NM’s Academy Award winning No Country for Old men and the unsung NM film In the Valley of Elah.
So though this film has outgrown us and spends the holidays with more flashy friends and cities – make no mistake through the life’s blood of this Grit runs true New Mexico.
Don’t forget us young Hailee Steinfeld, sure as you’re to grow into your britches as well as Bridges – New Mexico is behind you and proud like the dickens that that purdy face above took such an incredible turn as the tough as nails, pan faced Mattie Ross in this NM movie.
Here’s NM’s beloved adopted son, Matt Damon flexing his ~acting chops on Letterman last week!

Friend, actor and fellow blogger, Roscoe Pond is taking some well deserved time off for the holidays…
But before break he left us with his very own tribute to Native American performers whose work was featured in mainstream Entertainment and media over the past year.
Keep-up with local and national casting calls and information with Roscoe on his blog Native American Hollywood.
New Mexico’s Own NPH went a lil’ rouge MBH (Mama Bear Harris) today when he tweeted to his 1 Mill. plus followers the implication that American Novella Legend (Soap Actor) Eric Braeden is a lukewarm bag of vinegar & water solution for bailing on a guest appearance on Harris’ acclaimed and beloved television series How I Met Your Mother…
Well, as sometimes/often happens, the use of such a flushing solution caused a pH imbalance leading to a touch of spouters remorse on Harris’ side and a big ‘ol pompous bag of wind-bag on Braeden’s.
We say to each his own – Good for NPH for living the passion for his craft, cast & crew and no poo off his nose if Braeden prefers to remain steadfast in his 20+ year character, spewing his trademark statements, delivering his three rotating scowls for the five standard, regurgitated soap opera story lines…I keed, I keed – Victor Newman for life!
