Joementum Redux

With all this talk about Joe, the unlicensed republican Plumber, we’ve lost site of that other Joe. You know, the most important Joe in the universe.

Pinko at the Movies: The Unidentified

Attention Philadelphia People!
My old buddy Steve wanted to let you know that his feature, The Unidentified, has been selected to play at the First Glance Film Festival in Philadelphia this Friday, October 17th 2008.

Make-Believe Maverick: The Movie

Daily Briefs, a few hours late.

PINKO DAILY BRIEFS. Good morning afternoon everyone. Did you ever have that margarita at Dallas BBQ that comes with a tube of tequila that you shoot? Me too. Hm. Anyway, a few quick questions.
