July 2009 marked the 10 year anniversary of "The Blair Witch Project," the low-budget thriller that won multiple awards and grossed more than $248 million worldwide.
BlairWitch.com is now considered a promotional tool for the fictional movie of the same name. But...
The Web site included just enough detail to make it appear real: interviews with "experts," a legitimate location (Burkitsville, Md.), photographic "evidence" and history about the so-called local legend.
As everyone now knows, the "Blair Witch" documentary wasn't any more real than the Blair witch herself. The movie really sucked and millions were conned. A shaky video camera going through the woods filming tree branches with 'breathing sounds' in the background for about 90 minutes straight is what millions paid for. They weren't too happy.
Barack Obama is another 'blair witch project.' All the hype about how 'well spoken' he is, his 'charisma,' his 'articulation,' his 'Santa Claus gift list' and promises that a convict wouldn't dare make to a parole board to get out of prison. 'But he has a Harvard degree,' the liberals kept repeating. 'He has swagger!' He also promised 'hope and change' and millions chanted 'yes we can!' They loved that Obama was for transparency! The zombies at the 'Obama Branch Davidian' cheered for their 'David Koresh' at parks and arena's everywhere! Then they voted for him and this is what we got...
An incompetent, deceptive, vindictive, corrupt, economic illiterate President, who is a compulsive liar. He is weakening our nation while quadrupling our debt and killing jobs. See video below to see what he has accomplished so far.
This Obama 'horror movie' has turned into a nightmare. At least with a bad movie, we can always leave the theatre and go see another one. You're stuck with this nightmare President for three and half years. Let's hope there's not a sequel...

The Super Messiah's idea of borrow and spend, and borrow and spend some more, and creating ever larger deficits, and essentially printing money with no consequences is economically naive, but worse, much worse, its suicidal aganist the economy to recover.
ReplyDeleteObummer's stimulus spending package is nothing more then a base pleasing socialistic welfare kickback to his supporters and allies, and its a down payment to secure their vote 4 years down the road.
This president is an anathema to our free market system. He is a bulwark for socialism, governed under a Fascist elite, with armies of Marxist and Communists, and poisoned to the bone American haters.
If he gets elected again---we and the country lose, and it will be much more then our freedoms.
AND----when he gets defeated soundly in the next election cycle its a victory for our founding fathers and the DNA of freedom pulsating in our genes thanks to them.
We already have nearly one trillion in unsecured loans, guarantees, and grants, and an unbridled economic stimulus plan that will add another one trillion to the staggering national debt. And Obama's responce is an ever expanding collection of initiatives with an exploding price tag.
ReplyDeleteI have 2 questions.
1---Who is going to foot the bill
2---What's the exist strategy.
And the answer is------Obama could care less about balancing the national debt.
Obama's true goal to to keep the economy suppressed, by destroying the wealth in this country, and creating as much dependency on the government as possible----bring the private sector to its knees and advance the jurisdiction of the government-----;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;a strong central government that would bring a smile to Carl Marx devotees.
Great comparison. Witty.....I remember getting excited for that movie and it was a total hoax that made me mad as heck. They made millions off that con. Obama hype= empty suit and inexperience and poor leadership are on display.
ReplyDeleteWELL SAID...THAT'S FUNNY..LOL
ReplyDeletehahahahaha heard you on the mark levin show....great website, he is a major hoax!
ReplyDeleteBLAIR WITCH OBAMA! I love it. Let's hope the media catches on with that name. The con artist exposed and idiots still support him. It shows you how misinformed Americans have become.
ReplyDeleteTHE BLAIR WITCH CON JOB
ReplyDeleteI swear I was gonna leave this one alone. You don't need me to tell you how bad The Blair Witch Project was; there are plenty of other places where this sentiment has been eloquently expressed. Besides, if you've seen it you fall into one of two distinct groups: you either know it sucks and wish you had your money back, or you know it sucks but insist it becomes a lot better if you visit the Haxan website and watch the Sci-Fi channel special. Either way, my work here is already done. (By the way, if you think my website sucks, it's only because you lack the background information needed to make the material relevant and to see it in a whole new light. Plus the fact you lack imagination.)
Anyway, my change of heart came when I saw that TBWP garnered the number ten spot on the highest grossing movies of 1999. This, um, film relieved moviegoers of some 140 million dollars throughout the year. Which must qualify it as one of the biggest con jobs in American history. In the absence of a much needed government class action suit, I thought I'd try to salvage some good by analyzing how this whole mess could actually happen. Sort of a "learn from our mistakes" type of deal.
The whole Blair Witch phenomenon can be explained with five simple facts:
Moviegoers are generally becoming more and more dissatisfied with the lack of quality in Hollywood movies. Hollywood is now run by Big Business, and everyone hates and distrusts Big Business. Or at least they should. But the worst part is that the films are looking like they were built and packaged on an assembly line, totally devoid of any soul. It is just such a climate where people start searching outside the mainstream for a film to come along and remind them why they go to the movies in the first place.
The horror genre in particular has become the realm of talentless hacks. Scream had a great opening scene, but by the end disintegrated into stupidity. Scream 2 was even worse. Heck, Halloween H2O didn't even bother to have a second act. Species 2 was absolutely abysmal, and - well, you get the idea. The better directors and writers have seemingly scorned the horror industry, with the result being we haven't seen a well-made horror movie or even had a true scare in years.
Blair Witch was perceived early on and strongly marketed as the type of horror movie "Hollywood has forgotten how to make". Give the people what they want. And if you don't happen to have what they want, tell them you do anyway.
Blair Witch was able to capitalize on the emerging marketing power of "word of mouth" on the internet. Having a film that many want to see is only half the battle; you've got to make those people aware that you have a film they want to see. And the internet was blossoming at just the right time, providing free advertising access to millions of people. I've never been to their website, but by all accounts it was very well-done.
There is a disturbingly large faction of moviegoers who are reluctant to denounce a film championed by the critics because they fear it reveals a lack of sophistication on their part. These people are idiots. (And yes, The Thin Red Line really was as bad as you thought it was.)
So what are we left with? Every film student in the universe takes a camera out to the woods when he or she is just starting out. The woods make a cheap set without looking like a cheap set. The trees are visually interesting, and the light playing off the leaves provides intricate visual textures. But then you realize that to develop as a filmmaker you must integrate other elements into your film. Like plot development. Like good shot composition. Like interesting dialogue. The Blair Witch Project is the film of a student filmmaker just starting out. Now, with all of the principals involved reportedly securing studio deals, they will have to mature into real filmmakers at breakneck speed or they will inevitably crash and burn. Unless, of course, they can pull off The Blair Witch Con Job 2.
Those who fail to learn their history are doomed to repeat it....With all the talk of voter backlash in 2010 and 2012, let me remind you that Hitler suspended the Constitution once he was embedded in office. We can't wait that long!!! Impeach all of them NOW!!
