Among the many who are passionate about this novel is local investigative reporter extraordinaire and fan, Jeremy Jojola who was recently able to sit down with New Mexican author Rudolfo Anaya who shares his feelings about his classic work, Bless Me Ultima moving onto film.
Here’s hoping we catch at least a glimpse of each of thee above (Jojola à la Transformers and Anaya à la Stan Lee in Spider-Man), and many, many more locals in front of and behind the camera.

Casting for feature roles as previously reported here.
We didn’t need an investigative report but now we have one…on the heels of such prestigious nods as being named #3 in all of North America for film production, New Mexico’s largest city is now widely being hailed as the #1 City in the country for movie making.
Like Facebook early in the year, Gmail will make the news tonight as Error 502 spreads across the internets making millions cryacross the globe. Twitter Tracker is currently ranking Gmail as the #1 trending topic.
Outrage over the new terms of use that were seemingly sneaked on to facebook overnight, blasted across all forms of “media” for the past few days – Even sweeping across the social networking site itself in the form of various protest groups.
NEWSFLASH – Anything you put on the web, anywhere is likely susceptible to becoming public domain or at the very least can be lifted for some computer geek’s own use in one form or another.
This here outrage is garnering tons of coverage for facebook, I’d like to know what kind of spike in traffic the site is receiving thanks to this “scandal”.
Probably enough of a spike to retain some new users which may drive up the climbing asking price for the site. It definitely serves as a distraction from the recently settled lawsuit against baby face Zuckerberg for allegedly “borrowing” the idea for the whole ‘thang.
As of today facebook has recalled their stance on their omnipotence – thanks (in her mind) to facebook devotee Elisabeth (Sarah Palin wanna-be) Hasselbeck.
“Terms of Use Update
Over the past few days, we have received a lot of feedback about the new terms we posted two weeks ago. Because of this response, we have decided to return to our previous Terms of Use while we resolve the issues that people have raised. For more information, visit the Facebook Blog.
While perusing our monthly web statistics – average stuff like averages, traffic, your IP addresses and such, we found an inneresting stat never even peeped before…There’s a category for most popular searches. Casting and especially casting for the psychotically popular Twilight stuff was waay up there, then there were actor names and other event/reference searches but in a pleasant surprise of local pride – There she be at number one, local news anchor Marisa Maez.
Perhaps the masses are concerned that we don’t pay enough attention to Ms. Maez while pondering other local mysteries like why Jessica Garate is yet to be in a major motion picture, why Jeremy Jojola has, why Foxy McBusty does’t keep up with her dye job, and how adorable the Vigil-Orate household is.
Noted: We will now be paying more attention to Marisa, we will sing her praises and get to laughing along with her as she continues to show us sometimes it’s the right time to bust a gut just for the silly of it.
Seriously, we love this chick and not just because she’s talked about us…but because she is one of the least annoying (and I’m annoyed by everything), best delivering, most consistent faces on the NM airwaves. AND she’s big screen ready. Homegirl looks great in HD! Only a handful of her peers are well surviving the HD conversion, much less thriving in it.
We may want to keep her out of NM film if we want to retain ‘er ’cause after one flick she just might move beyond us…Regis & Jess maybe. We don’t get to see heaping doses of her funny bone on her newscasts, but it twinkles in her shiny ojos caliente regularly. Besides I think the sun has set on Kelly’s time in the spotlight. She’s puttering out into more of an impersonator than a personality. Anyway when Kells takes her millions and her dehydrated chicken bones and retires I think our Jess can fill the seat a-fresh.
