Congrats Mo’Nique – you were so good in Precious I wanted to strangle your character! I could barely stay in my seat. Anything that gets me that riled up deserves an award.

Shot this today out my window.

I love this new band I’m working for, Fall On Your Sword. I can’t stop playing this song or video! It’s my entire late 70’s/early 80’s childhood in ONE SONG AND VIDEO!

90 Year-Old Grandfather Tells Story of Turning In Lost Wallet Containing $12,500 from Shawn Chittle on Vimeo.

My Grandfather, Robert K. Chittle, WWII veteran, of Flint, Mich, found a wallet in a parking lot in 1947. It contained $1,300 – which in today’s dollars is $12,500. He managed to find the owner and return the wallet and the money.

The man who lost the wallet was a UAW member, and the union wrote my Grandfather a thank-you letter.

In this video he recalls the events from over 65 years ago.

I got pretty choked up when I read the letter and heard him tell the story first hand, which I think caught him off guard and thus he got a little choked up too.

It’s one of the greatest stories I’ve ever heard.

Well tonight’s the night. December 19, 1989 Roger & Me premiered in Flint. There isn’t any simpler way to put it: the whole world changed after that movie.

Nothing would ever be the same again.
