The Atlanta Film Festival Blimp - It's Mine Now!

Since the Atlanta Film Festival is showing the film "Blood Car" which has an anti-war "Blood for Oil" theme (from what I've heard) I'm considering them the enemy.

So We did what the Army trained me to do. We did a raid and seized their flag!!!

Actually we seized their advertising blimp that was flying above the Brewster's Ice Cream shop. The ladder on the side of the building has a pad locked shield, but we were able to scale the walls.

I'm willing to return the blimp, which I consider to be mine now, if the festival will shut down the showing of the film.

Here is a video of us taking the blimp. If you don't do me this small favor it's the last time you will see it.

[The two guys at the beginning of the film are not with my group. They came from the bar next door to help. He's trying to get down off the roof by jumping to the railing]

Hey you *sshole, you seem to have forgotten the part about defending free speech. Perhaps you might trying switching your citizenship to a country where free speech equals death.

I support our troops... but you're a moron!

I am a filmmaker that served our country as a Marine in Afghanistan. I am remaining anonymous because the Atlanta film community has requested you be ignored and I don't want to catch any flack. You should be ignored... but this hit a little too close to home for me. The Atlanta Film Festival is also showing a film I wrote and directed. I want to talk to you soldier to soldier. I love my country and served my country because I believe it is the best place on earth and wanted to help protect her. I believe that one of the reasons it is so great is because of freedom. I support freedom, and I fought for freedom. The freedom for me to make my film about whatever I want and the freedom for someone else to make "Blood Car". The Atlanta Film Festival's job is to pick several different visions and show them in one place. They are not on a side or "the enemy", they are simply doing what film festivals do. Right now you are fighting against freedom. You are hurting me, a soldier like you, because you failed to do enough research to find out that the AFF shows all kinds of films. Please return the blimp and apologize to me and the other troops that worked on my film and several others in the festival. You should be ashamed of yourself, you have attacked the very thing we all swore to protect... and have hurt U.S. soldiers in the process. If you wish to respond, you may do so to kingdaywalker@hotmail.com and it will be forwarded to me.

Wow. You're a LOSER. Do you have any idea what it takes to run a film festival? The AFF staff is underpaid, overworked, and now they have to deal with you taking their blimp? I was the one who bought that blimp...I hauled around a 100lb helium tank for a week...inflated it and so on. You're a disgrace to our Armed Forces and should be ashamed of yourself. I pity you.

Hey Dude, My parents came to this country not knowing the language.

Free Speech is very important. You don't have to agree with everyone, but it is there right.

Does this guy realize that he's only drawing MORE attention to the film.

Isn't any publicity GOOD publicity for the movies website?

Could this possibly be PR for the movie? If it is, it's genius. This stunt probably just attracted a few Hollywood reps and is probably going to get sold out at the festival, plus encore's.

I take that first statement back, this HAS to be staged. I mean seriously, no one's stupid enough to pull a stunt like this expecting to keep the movie out of the public eye.

I was on the crew and I can tell you that I know nothing about it.

I think it would be an incrediably stupid move to steal something valuable from the festival that's supporting your film.

I would say though that we SHOULD take advantage of this for PR, so I'm going to include as many links as possible to Blood Car and other sites that this guy would hate.

I'll give three cheers to this guy. I'm also getting tired of my tax dollars getting spent to promote anti-goverment agendas.

I just wish I had been there to help.

What tax dollars being spent? Please people get your facts straight before you remove all doubt as to whether or not your an idiot.

And the guy who stole it? Yours now? Hmmm...how 'bout I play seize your car? Or your widescreen T.V.? Mine now? Stealing is stealing....where does that put your self-righteous lame-assed excuse for a mortal soul in the end? Just curious.....

So, let me get this straight...

1.) You just returned from Iraq where you defended our country which is governed by law?

2.) You believe that if you STEAL something it's yours?

3.) The country you defended has very specific laws against stealing!

Hmmmm.....I gotta ask it.

IS RON SHORT FOR MORON?

I don't even think this movie is that political. I think it's just a horror film with comedy.

Ron,
The Army did not teach you to steal. Just a reminder for you:

Article 121 - Larceny and wrongful appropriation
Text.

“(a) Any person subject to this chapter who wrongfully takes, obtains, or withholds, by any means, from the possession of the owner or of any other person any money, personal property, or article of value of any kind—”

Good job promoting a film made by some very talented Atlanta film makers! I bought my ticket already.

I'll admit it, albiet anonymously, but I support this guy. At least he's out there taking action.

Are you retarded? Try actually watching the movie before you boycott it. It's not meant to be a serious political thing. It's good old fashioned bloody movie fun.

ablebody said...

dude, promise you're gonna blog from jail.
ain't larceny grand?

Are you allowed to blog from jail? That would be funny.

Actually if you live in Atlanta your city taxes help fund the festival. If you live in Fulton County- your county taxes support the festival. If you live in Georgia- then your state taxes support the festival. Why does my money have to go to support a film that is so blatently unpatriotic from what I hear?
Everyone should call their local representatives NOW!

To say this movie Blood Car does not have a political agenda, is just idiotic. From the trailer, the government is clearly defined as being "mean", which many left wingers would love to believe, just to support their belief that we live in a fascist society. Grow up and read a newspaper people, really. Even the synopsis of the film and several reviews state that it is a satire on the war and the "blood for oil" mantra that liberals live and die by. And to make a comedy of a such a serious matter is beyond reprehensible. Soldiers are dying. Americans are dying. Does that sound funny to you? I won't say that you shouldn't show this film, or that it should be banned, but stop lying to yourself and saying it's not making a mockery of people dying for you. But maybe you're too busy listening to U2 and watching Comedy Central to care.

And if you think this war is not, in large part, about oil and control of the Middle East and it's oil reserves. Along with an opportunity for some our politicians and their corporate pals to over-charge, mis-allocate, mis-manage and ultimately pocket our tax dollars - you are a complete idiot. You, perhaps, should read the newspapers and not just the ones that suit you....not just the parts the match your agenda.

The amount of tax payer money going to support the festival is miniscule. The amount of tax dollars unaccounted for in this war....reprehensible. And those dollars could provide the support, equipment, etc. that our soldiers need.

Now then.....THAT IS THE REASON WE AS HUMANS EXPRESS HUMOR IN LIGHT OF DIFFICULTY!!! And in this case is expressed as satire....pretty simple stuff to figure out really.

I haven't seen the film yet...but I will see it before I jump into a blog and make claims about its content. But, then I really prefer to think for myself.

Your tax dollars didn't go into the making of the film and the film-makers will make nothing from this screening.

Best,
Greg Thompson

Ron you're my hero! You hijacked a blimp…that's good for starters, but why stop there my friend? When I disagree with a person, or an institution on an issue of moral significance I will usually plant a bomb, or cut off someone’s head or at least mail a little anthrax. I, like you, believe that my view is the only correct view. I guess that's because I read the Bible and know the word of God.

The little blimp episode was cute, but lacks the real, what I like to call, "kaboom appeal". Take for example the 911 hijackers. Now there was a perfect example of a group of inspired dedicated enthusiasts who took a stand for their moral imperative. Too bad for them they were reading the wrong Bible. Everyone knows the Koran isn't the Bible. What were those guys thinking? But you have to admire there zeal. Sorry, I digress.

It’s awesome that you believe in President Bush, and the efforts of our Freedom Fighters in Iraq. Wow, and that you were one of them. I want to personally thank you for helping to make the world safer by recovering all of those WMD’s, not to mention all of those chemical weapons…I still keep my gas mask under the bed just in case.

I wish more people were like us, did what was right, read the Bible, spread the word of God through love, theft, murder…whatever. That way we’d live in a better world. Everyone would be just like us, and we’d be so much better off.

Anyway, I just wanted to say from one freedom fighter to another, never let anyone tell you you’re wrong. And if they do, don’t just disagree with them, steal their blimp, or better yet just shoot ‘em.

I, like you, will remain anonymous, because people are just to stupid to understand.

BLOOD CAR SOLD OUT!

I've heard that one night has sold out. Good thing there's two screenings so I guess a few tickets are still available.

I recently bought a laptop over Christmas along with Microsoft 2007 Home & Student and Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2010 (they are both on disc/CDs). Do I still need an internet connection for installing them, like if I was required to activate something online? I know on boxes of both it says if you don't have a CD drive you can install if online, since they give you an activation code. I DO have a CD drive. But I still want to know if I need an internet connection, because I currently don't have one on my laptop.
