Or they’re coming anyway and looking to hire from within. We’re all for creating more work for natives, HOWEVER…
Ahhemm, incoming madame Governess perhaps t’is time to look into what/how this shall be regulated. Oui? Ou non?
Personally I’ve long been awaiting it as an inevitability, torn between the positive exposure of our great state, preserving the privacy and integrity of our home grown productions and the possibility of spawning the pure evil, sprung from photog seeking/feeding media wh-ores.
We’ve said it before – there will eventually be the need for regulation here as in the Governator’s state – better sooner than later? Chime in & chime up NM.
and p.s. before you call me out for calling the kettle a big ol’ bag of pot…click
It’s been a long time since Demi Moore was a but a child from Roswell New Mexico. She’s experienced quite the trajectile ride from Area 51 to center stage/screen, global dogooding, to gyrating on rappers and her youthful hubs.
But something the Dems ain’t done es una película de Nuevo México. Yes, from the time she absconded to and conquered La, la land, to her infamous purchases of small town America and commendable humanitarian efforts…N. Mex hasn’t seen much of ‘er.
Let’s git’ wit Mrs. Kutcher (@mrskutcher) and ask her when she’s coming home, who does she want for her home state’s first Governess, when she’s gonna make a flick here, etc., etc.
Because we is good people – from So. Nem. to North 40 and everywhere in-between, whose booming film industry could really use a boost from her wattage – a little love from the Roswellian could result in more j-o-b-s which she could help parlay in to more philanthropic ways from we her neglected homies.
Before you hate on me (y’all didn’t even know she did half this stuff till I tol’ you) for bein’ hater I ain’t hatin’ I’m just callin’ a sister back home.
The Dems is currently betwixt Chi-town, Motor City and Gay Paree shooting the sure to be cinematic gold LOL: Laughing Out Loud with Miley Cyrus (who filmed her BIG Hannah Montana movie in her home state of Tennessee…hmmmm).
Maybe Dems, Kutch and the affable Willis can star in the sure to be remade Threesome, N. Mex Style…a.k.a. two slabs of beef with extra cheese!
And p.s. if Moore has any trouble finding us…NPH can show her the way
We welcome you with open arms, glorious vistas and major incentives…Bring your premiere galas and events to the land that holds you so dear! ‘LIKE’ this page…it worked for the Great White Betty! Let’s go New Mexico!
Veteran New Mexico chocolatier Scott Van Rixel has applied to trademark “Bhang, the original cannabis chocolate,” for his premium chocolate, medicinal confectionery.
New Mexico will be missing out on the buck from the Bhang because state laws currently prohibit the production of marijuana into the chocolate delivery system as developed by Van Rixel and his industry partner Robert Martin, Ph.D.
Furthermore because of Federal interstate commerce laws when the pair are basically forced to abscond from the state to manufacture their recipe elsewhere it won’t even be available to New Mexico where it is approved for administration as medical treatment for a long list of ailments and diseases.
Much ado about red tape which reminds me of my favorite Val Kilmer performance ever where he spins the tale of how the Microsoft trademark like “Bhang, the original cannabis chocolate,” has its origin in Nuevo México who’s binding it up and kicking it to Cali.
The antioxidant rich, medicinal stuff may not hit the market making Van Rixel & Co. the Bill Gates of reffer meds, but it’s a shame to see a good business man/plan have to go.
≠Breaking ≠news: Yesterday an arrogant, ignorant blow-hard made an arrogant, ignorant comment re: one of New Mexico’s Own, NFL linebacker Brian Urlacher.
Today the arrogant, ignoramus retracts/explains his stupid remark:
“During a segment about myself being named one of the “blackest white folks we know” by the Web site theroot.com, I made a few comments about some others on the list. Now, I know absolutely nothing about sports, so I didn’t realize that one of them was NFL star Brian Urlacher.
“Since then, I have been informed by my staff that Brian — uh, Mr. Urlacher — could kill me with his thumb in nine seconds if he wanted to. Although if we are talking about people in Chicago wanting to beat me up, he’s going to have to stand in a very long line.
“Anyway, I apologize to anyone who was offended. I just made a neo-Nazi jokebased on the short hair and white skin; I don’t actually think he has fascist plans to take over the Earth.” – Beck to The Chicago Tribune
Way to perpetuate H8 and stereo-types Becks! {sads}
Cancer sticks and fake-bakes will cost you more as of today. Ciggys go up $.75 per pack (zipping Nuevo México from 31st to 18th on the national cigarette tax average) and you will get taxed 10% more to jerkyfy yourself on your favorite tanning bed.
The gross receipts tax (most goods and services sans Rx and staple foods) will go up one-eighth cent, from 5 percent to 5.125 percent.
On the upside you have 90 days and counting to take advantage of The New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department’s gracious Tax Amnesty Program which allows past-due state tax debtors to pay their tab sans penalties and fees.

If you’re not working, auditioning or volunteering mañana perhaps you can take the scenic drive (aren’t they all) over to San Miguel County to ☮ peacefully support Ma Huckleberry in his bid to use his own damn property in any damn way he sees fit – (esp. when it WILL bring tourism to and promote NM) as it and he are dragged-out in front of the County Commish. + angry locals.
There’s this whole ☭ hullabaloo still a brewing over controversial remarks, “dangers” to the community, even racism, etc. etc. et ACLU.
Stop the H8 people. What is this really all about? I know racism, esp. when I’m often the only chocolate cookie on a plate of white bread sandwiches at the country club.
Some people love chocolate, other people give it the side-eye like it should be relegated to the kitchen or the nanny’s quarters (Camilla knows – For shame Harvey Levin staffers, that’s Camilla’s moms! Granny not Nanny).
Now these are incendiary remarks – this out of the mouths of babes (an angry, yet ~informed, diatribe of logorrhea that holds some valid points in its simple oft/sometimes offensive remarks) This Chicky is mad – but she knows how to spell freedom of speech.
More here from the National Ledger and here from Sky News
Though the San Miguel county commish & his posse are holding Ma Huckelberry back from creating resort style lodging on his Pecos Ranch property pending a showdown at the not-okay corral (a.k.a. court) later this month, fund raising is in the cards.
You can Cartwright-up for the day or the 1/2 day by donating $125 – $500 to the Santa Fe Film Festival. Your tax deductible donation opens the gates of this modern day Ponderosa to you where like Hoss and the gang you can enjoy a real homestead experience while helping the local film making community.
The more you know New Mexico – This showcase of our land and the enchantment therein…priceless. Now let ma dogooding Huckleberry make his property as prosperous as possible! We’re looking like burros in assless chaps bucking a homeboy who does so much for his adopted home state.
And p.s. this story is going global as the ACLU is getting involved to show us how to treat a brother – global asses, just what NM needs…
The MacGruber villain appears to be swimming upstream against the San Miguel County Commission who control the zoning rights over the actor’s Pecos River Ranch.
According to the grapevine old wounds run deep as the Albuquerque Journal reports that the commission as recently as Tuesday “tabled the actor’s plans” citing issue with ancient (2003) remarks disparaging the state, remarks which Kilmer maintains were misquoted.
Yowza! Smack talkers beware, and on the flip-side chillax commish – what’s good for tourism is good for NM, yo!
NM’s Own Thor makes a dent in the end credits of the forthcoming Marvel epic Iron Man 2. The easter-egg cameo kicks up NM desert dust when the Land of Enchantment plates roll into frame where the hammer of the Thunder God has apparently been discovered…dun, dun, dun.
It’s pretty awesome looking. As the footage is so obviously pirated, it will surely be promptly removed…catch it while you can.
But more importantly let it tickle your titillators and scoot you into theaters to support the hot flick that has digitals a la College of Santa Fe, multiple NM filmers Rourke and RDJ and the upcoming comic dream by Iron Man’s Jon Favreau. Go New Mexico!
Here’s the whack-tacular mess that is the official poster for the upcoming Sex and the City part deux.
This outrageous mess is making all kinds of waves for its lack of photoshop artistry. The Sindicator agrees. They may as well have just magnetic lassoed Kim Catrall’s head right off the Mannequin movie poster.
Better still is the ‘official’ KRQE and the City poster (below). You can see the moving parts version of the doctored Sex and the City crew starting May 27 and the real, foxy ladies of KRQE in their new studio diggs sooooon.
Sweeping changes abound in our nation’s economy – from Wall Street to Radio Road. It is a bygone era when an artist jumped up and down with glee at hearing the local celebrity disk jockey spin their tune because that was the first, best place to be heard.
Free radio is not so free, it’s certainly rarely free standing – instead our jocks are regularly corporate employees, subject to sweeping changes in the name of financial overhaul that have already homogenized play and limited talent. ICYDK: You may be listening from Bozeman to Sacramento to a NYC based jock.
But now even that digitally farmed-out jock may be subject to the axe. What used to be our regional entertainment resource some now recognize as overwhelmingly commercial and contrived, a “syndicated jukebox” if you will – with too little home based talent and influence interjected.
Well your jukebox may lose every ounce of its humanity by being wholly “owned” by advertisers and record labels. The so-called Performance Tax is on the horizon. If the measure passes artists’ labels will take a cut from airplay thereby all but eliminating funds for live, on-air hosts.
You can sign the online petition here to join the thousands of us who want some local voice and choice on the radio.
“The simple truth is that we have already been to the Moon – some 40 years ago. What this nation needs in order to maintain its position as the 21st century leader in space exploration is a near-term focus on lowering the cost of access to space and on developing key, cutting-edge technologies that will take us further and faster…” – Buzz via MSNBC
Yesterday the New York Daily News bantered about a story that was quickly spread by the beasts abound that Anthony Hopkins was prima-donna-ing on the L.A. set of Thor.
Today Rama assures us that that is not the case. In an interview with the L.A. Times, Branagh does spin the tale of how his Superhero dreams are coming together in his adaptation of Thor sans drams.
Thor is currently on location in Santa Fe, NM. Read the full L.A. Times article here – including a statement on the ~matter from Sir Anthony Hopkins.
C-lister Donald Faison spits on the Q in some whiney remarks he made on his Twit page. Didn’t anyone teach a boy, “if you ain’t got nothin’ nice to say…”. Hasn’t bro seen all the news headlines re: These Tough Economic Times?
Criminy, if only we had a buck for every time that tired ol’ phrase was used in the past calendar year we’d be back in the black and then some. The actor should stick to the script whilst he’s still got one in hand.
Shiz, Oscar winning NM Actor Jeff Bridges pimped for Hyndai and is currently hard at work in NM on True Grit. Now that’s how you do.
We’ll go ahead and put out another “Open Call”: Stars ask plenty from the public in the way of support for their work, their industry and for personal and global causes. I’m sure a donation of Faison’s time or funds would be greatly appreciated by any number of deserving and much in need Community Service Organizations. Cast and crew of NM productions that regularly give back shine as fine examples for any and all who wish to get started on their giving way…
Faison is in town shooting the CBS television pilot The Odds.
Reformed ABQ hater Chelsea Handler pseudo apologizes to the Q for the debacle of a whole-town smack-down she spurred on during her late night show when here she leads In Plain Sight star Mary McCormack in biting the hand that feeds her (and the rest of the cast & crew of the USA Network show shot here).
Join the FB group asking for some community service from the stars. Support them, support New Mexico Entertainment. Season three of In Plain Sight premieres on USA March 31st.
IPS’ own smart/sexy Leslie Ann Warren already has her global PSA/TSA out there for the advancement of women.
In stark contrast, AMC’s Emmy winning series Breaking Bad gives back to NM all the while they are here: fundraising, featuring local wares and literally giving their life’s blood for their work.
Starz series Crash works feeding & clothing the homeless.
Megan Fox and Shai Lebeouf even look out for our area animal friends. (So, bite it Chelsea)
Hear the controversy and feedback from McCormack herself on The Peak Morning Show today: 100.3 KPEK
UPDATE: Mac has taken to her twit account to ask her new friends at the Peak to play this two year old clip of her talking to a local t.v. station sans trash talk.
We say actions speak louder than old words and we’re asking Mac & Co. to donate to JTD’s upcoming Radiothon benefitting UNM Children’s Hospital and furthermore put some time in with The Storehouse ABQ.

The hype for the historic, global release of the highly anticipated Rakesh Roshan film Kites is gaining momentum with the leak of the English/American trailer.
The film starring Barbara Mori and Hrithik Roshan, shot in New Mexico in 2008 and features local actors Dave Colon and Steven Michael Quezada.
Late last year X-Men director Brett Ratner was tapped to master the english version of the completed film which will be released in both English and Hindi later this year.
The official trailer was promptly removed, fortunately miscreants released this Cannes promo:
Thx. Kristelle
