IMDB Recommends

These are the IMDB recommendations for you if you enjoyed watching Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed:

Really?
Jesus Camp? A terrifying documentary about the indoctrination of children into militant right-wing X-tian groups?
Religulous? A satirical Borat-style documentary about the insane hypocrisy of religion?
Planet of the Apes? A world where apes rule, and humans are mute servile pack animals? Wait, what?
There’s also a recommendation for the film Paperclips, a film about an innovative way for a middle school to learn about the Holocaust. I haven’t seen it, but my guess is that they find out that the Holocaust was a bad, bad thing, and probably unrelated to the Theory of Evolution. My guess is that the Anti-Defamation League would support this film, in stark contrast to its condemnation of Expelled: “Using the Holocaust in order to tarnish those who promote the theory of evolution is outrageous and trivializes the complex factors that led to the mass extermination of European Jewry.”
I think IMDB needs to flip a switch or something.
Yup, here’s your problem. Someone set this thing to “Evil”.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
