We break in on the stream-of-conscious of a reporter on the set of a movie The Canyons, directed by Paul Schrader. It co-stars Lindsay Lohan.

MooPig in its quest to dispel bombast in this world, makes a point to intercede in Lohan's career right now. You see, Timmy, people who make movies invariably go for the celebrity fatale to augment the movies' pull on the paying public. It is a test of brazenness to catch a celeb' in an upswing or a downswing, and keep that intensity going on the film.

Director Paul Schrader is no fool, as we see in the following narrative :

 Here Is What Happens When You Cast Lindsay Lohan in Your Movie - NYTimes.com: "“The script has to be multi-charactered, relationship-based, full of sharp dialogue, set in contemporary locations and have a certain outré value. Cinema for the post-theatrical era. We could attract interesting actors and create a profile for the film via social media. It would be something that we own.” (STEPHEN RODRICK. Published: January 10, 2013. HERE) ... "

¶ Like Schrader, Ellis was at a crossroads. After his early successes, “Less Than Zero” and “American Psycho,” Ellis’s books hadn’t sold as well, and tired of the novel as an art form, he moved to L.A., looking to break into movies. But nothing had gone into production recently, and he was itching to get something made. He went to work on the script while Pope strategized.

¶ Schrader could talk a good game, but it was Pope who would have to implement the plan. Pope suggested making “The Canyons” the most open film ever. There would be daily Facebook updates, and the cast would be made up entirely of actors selected from audition tapes sent to the movie’s Web site. "

" ... Pope argued that this populist approach could be applied to financing as well. He explained Kickstarter to Schrader: all they had to do was come up with some good prizes, and kids of all ages would pledge money online to be associated with artist outlaws like Schrader and Ellis. Soon, the film was offering donors a Schrader script-critique for $5,001 and a week working out with Ellis and his trainer for $3,000. In a month, they raised more than $150,000.

" ... Pope reached out to Lohan. Ellis was skeptical, afraid of the melodrama Lohan would bring to the project. But Pope and Schrader reminded Ellis of what he said in an essay for The Daily Beast the previous year: “Do [Americans] really want manners? Civility? Empire courtesy? No. They want reality, no matter how crazy the celeb who brings it on has become.”

" ... Lohan. The first child of a drug-abusing, felonious stock trader and a failed dancer, Lohan survived her Long Island childhood, moved to Hollywood and became America’s newest sweetheart with winning turns in “The Parent Trap” and “Mean Girls.” She cut an album that went platinum. In 2006, she was the best thing in Robert Altman’s “Prairie Home Companion.” The future was hers to write.

" ... Then­­ — as the voice-over in an “E! True Hollywood Story” would put it — it all fell apart. Big-budget films need insurance in case an actress dies or becomes incapacitated and can’t go on with a role. Lohan’s misadventures made her uninsurable, her work dried up and she settled in as a generation’s snarky punch line.

" ... Lindsay Lohan posing nude in Playboy? If I want to see naked, overpaid, crackheads with daddy issues I'll just go buy Penthouse!
Q: How bad is Lindsay Lohan's meltdown?
A: So bad Al Gore is making a documentary about it! ... "

[ ... ]

And that is why we keep hearing about Lindsay Lohan, the incurable, in everyday media ... because she is fostered along by directors and leeches who would make a buck at her disdain.

" ... NEW YORK – Lindsay Lohan’s antics made gossip headlines time and time again in 2012. But it seems her stint working on “The Canyons” this summer was such a catastrophe that even the New York Times couldn’t resist taking an in-depth look at the train wreck that is Lindsay Lohan. Times contributor Stephen Rodrick delves into Lohan’s days filming the Bret Eaton Ellis flick, alleging the actress’ time was filled with drinking and driving, pill popping and random disappearances. ... "

Lindsay Lohan is 26 years old, born in 1986. We are curious when she will sing happy birthday to Prince William.

Golfman, a Gentleman's Hero

But No One Said it was going to be Easy
Stories Retrieved by Pat Darnell

March 12, 2008
I'm Here to Help That Loose Swing [SOURCE]

Noted swing coach Butch Harmon announced he's quit working with John Daly because the golfer is more interested in drinking than practicing.

"The most important thing in his life is getting drunk," Harmon told Doug Ferguson, the great golf writer for the Associated Press.

What? John Daly likes to drink? Next you'll tell me that he's been divorced three times, he said his latest wife tried to stab him last year, he said he's lost between $50 to $60 million in gambling, cigarettes are a permanent appendage linked to his lips, his gut is the size of Rhode Island, he's often quit playing during rounds, and he once said, "I believe nicotine plus caffeine equals protein."

Oh, that's actually all true, too. (Todd Jones on March 12, 2008)

John Daly: The golfer was taken into custody in October by Winston-Salem, N.C., police after he was reportedly found drunk outside a Hooters restaurant. Officers said Daly "appeared extremely intoxicated and uncooperative." As a result of this and other transgressions, Daly says he's been suspended for six months from the PGA Tour. [SOURCE]

Daly said he hopes to play well enough to earn sponsor exemptions on the PGA Tour when the suspension is lifted.

"John's New Year's resolution is do everything he can to make positive things happen on the golf course," Martin said. "I hope he can walk the walk. The talk sounds great. But it's going to be him working hard and staying out of trouble, and having success on the golf course."

Daly became an overnight sensation when he won the 1991 PGA Championship at Crooked Stick as the ninth alternate, introducing his powerful "grip it and rip it" style to golf. Four years later, he won the British Open at St. Andrews. But his career has been dragged down by two trips to alcohol rehab, four marriages, gambling losses and other off-course episodes that have made him an attraction beyond his prodigious length off the tee.

Asked why he was suspended, Daly pointed to four incidents during the year.

After a rain delay at Innisbrook during the Florida swing, he emerged from a Hooters hospitality tent with Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Jon Gruden as his caddie for the final seven holes of the round, prompting a split with swing coach Butch Harmon.

While promoting a golf course in Missouri, Daly did a regional television interview wearing only blue jeans — no shirt, no shoes — while showing how to play one of the holes. Then at the Buick Open, during a pro-am that featured Kid Rock in overalls, Daly revved up the fans by hitting one drive off the top of a beer can.

He drew the most attention from the night in jail. Daly told the AP that his friends called police when they feared he had passed out, unaware he sleeps with his eyes open when he's had too much to drink. Daly was not charged, rather put in jail under a state law called "Assistance to Intoxicated Persons." But his jail photo was an Internet sensation.

"The picture didn't help," Daly said. "People think I got arrested when I didn't get arrested. It is what it is. I've got to deal with it and go on. Whatever reason the tour has, maybe a positive will come out of this."

Daly has not had full status on the PGA Tour the last two years. He finished No. 232 on the money list this year with $56,017 in 17 events, missing the cut 10 times and withdrawing twice. (By DOUG FERGUSON | AP Golf Writer; 12.31.2008. Calling it his lowest point, John Daly says PGA Tour has suspended him for 6 months )

Proving the legitimacy of the "Anti-Demographic"
by Pat Darnell

GRAPHIC: Our Green Governor [Crist] Hanging out
with RINO Arnold in Bankrupt California...
Please Charlie don't learn anything there.
Gov. Charlie Crist will be the only Republican
of the four governors attending a two climate change
summit sponsored by California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger
in Beverly Hills this week, according to a story
today in the LATimes.

___________
I vote Republican
but live like a Democratic
I am a new member
of the anti-demographic

Specialists would like to know
how we go about it
But soon find out
we are admixture addicts.
_____________

Going Greener, many see Red!
Due to Budget Cutbacks and inherent need to go Greener on the West Coast, soon to be bankrupt West Coast, MooPig has tapped these two groups for Co-Ed living. Check it out.

A historical review should prove co-habitation of these two groups is favored demography... MooPig has run all the numbers and decidedly found the missing links; yes links of transition, from demographic to anti-demographic. It's called "using the fists to solve issues of the id and ego..." pretty much describes the divisional Venn diagrams of 733 degrees of compatibility. MooPig offers this primary research to its readers free of charge.

Only one house in Schwarzenegger's town is needed for the combination of these pseudo-anti-demographia's... MooPig TV MatchMaker Dept. says, "Go Co-ed, improve your carbon foot-prints, the best solution for this TV phenomenon. Sincerely We cannot wait to experience the BUGFCC, or Bad Ultimate Girls Fighting Club Championship." A month ago --

Nov 17, 2008 -- Schwarzenegger was a featured guest at both of the high-profile climate change summits held by Crist and it's clear he's now returning the favor. He [was] scheduled to speak...

"More than 600 environmental officials and activists from Borneo to Bulgaria, along with five U.S. governors and regional politicians from foreign nations, [had been] expected to attend,'' the LATimes reports. "...Schwarzenegger had invited all 49 other U.S. governors, but only four plan to attend part of the conference:

• Republican Charlie Crist of Florida and
• Democrats Rod Blagojevich of Illinois, Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas and Jim Doyle of Wisconsin.
• In addition, seven others have said they will add their names to the declaration. [SOURCE]

It is assumed by MooPig Enterprises that anti-advertising will find a purposeful and profitable niche based on these market corollaries of research and history.

Crouse, Jeff; August 22, 2008;The Anti-advertising Agency; Product placement; via adamkluger@inbox.com HERE NOTE: (Through long-term commercial saturation, it has become implicitly understood by the public that advertising has the right to own, occupy and control every inch of available space. The steady normalization of invasive advertising dulls the public’s perception of their surroundings, re-enforcing a general attitude of powerlessness toward creativity and change, thus a cycle develops enabling advertisers to slowly and consistently increase the saturation of advertising with little or no public outcry.)
