Suprise!

Ernie writes-

So I'm giving you some info a day earlier than I said I would. But if you check back tomorrow you can think, "If I haven't seen it, it's new to me!" So anyway, the shoot will be continuing into a second day. It was bitter cold in NYC this past Sunday and it began to effect our actors and ultimately our equipment. In the mean time we'll be bringing you a podcast this month and we'll be hard at work editing scenes that have already been shot. In addition we'll be preparing for the teaser trailer this December as well as the first Behind the Scenes installment!

Moving on. I asked you all to keep this question in your head, "what is Chock-Full-O-Stroll?" Well ask and ye shall receive. Answer, it is a candy bar that exisits in the Niente Universe. It was constructed by myself and Steve Kompar. You'll be sure to see in featured in Niente: The Movie! Here's a few pictures of it being born:

New Shoot This Weekend

Ernie writes-

We will be filming the first scene in this next season of shooting for Niente: The Movie. I won't reveal too much about the scene but I will say that it is:

-Funny
-Delicious
-Pretty
-Action Packed

There will be production stills for your viewing pleasure once the scene is done shooting. I will leave you with a question to remain floating in your head, "What is Chock-Full-O-Stroll?" It will be answered on Thanksgiving Day. Following that answer you get those production stills I promised, as well as a new installment of Niente Radio!

Enjoy!

New Contest, People!

Ernie writes-

Ok,

So now that Crazy Photo Shop Contest #1 is over and done with, let's move on to the next one. This time it's, Crazy Video Contest #1! Look here for details:

CRAZY VIDEO CONTEST #1

Enjoy!

Bonus Video Goodness!

Plus, Andy Rooney!

I don't know if anyone ever watched 60 Minutes on CBS anymore, but lately every time I turn it on something entirely relevant is going on, so I greatly recommend checking it out from time to time.

Case in point, last Sunday they did a story on newly elected French president Nicolas Sarkozy. I found it fascinating, and I think you will too.

Part 1: A little background on the man, and his super hot family.



Part 2: Watch the interviewer thoroughly offend Sarkozy, then criticize him for being offended.



Why did this happen? The president of France does his first real interview in the states, and the interviewer insists on badgering him about his recent divorce. Is he not justified in telling her off? At what point do personal issues enter a political conversation? They've yet to ask him any questions about his political opinions and policies, but they insist on asking him about the one thing they knew he wouldn't want to talk about.

This is a difference between American and French culture. On our news networks, it is perfectly normal for tabloid news to butt into the personal lives of important people. In France, apparently, this is not the kind of story that the news network FOCUS on.

Finally, here is what Sarkozy SHOULD HAVE said (sloppy work, but watch until the end):
