New Clip From "Knights of Badassdom"

I am so looking forward to this movie.  The new clip is NSFW (language) but the trailer (below) is OK.

Here's the new clip:



Here's the trailer:

Here’s the official synopsis:

KNIGHTS OF BADASSDOM follows three best friends (Peter Dinklage, Steve Zahn and Ryan Kwanten) and dedicated LARPers (Live Action Role Players) as they take to the woods to reenact a dungeons and dragons-like scenario fresh out of the mythical Middle Ages. Trouble arises after they unwittingly conjure up some serious evil in the form of a blood-lusting Succubus, from the pits of hell.

Fantasy and reality collide on the Fields of Evermore in an all-out epic battle of make-believe wizards, demons and assorted mythical creatures. Their courage and friendship is put to the test as they attempt to vanquish the evil they have summoned. Will the group prove to simply be foam sword-wielding LARPers, or true “Knights of Badassdom?”

There’s also an on-going text-based adventure prequel to the film going on here. 

Kevin Williamson has an excellent article at @NRO: Obama vs. Homeschoolers

Read the whole thing at NRO.  Excerpts:

The institutional Left hates homeschooling, hates it with a remarkable intensity, even though homeschooling recently has come into vogue with a certain subset of Park Slope–style progressives. Robin West of Georgetown’s law school has written admiringly of the suppression of homeschooling and regimes under which “parents who did so were criminals.” She writes that homeschoolers are dangerous precisely because of the fact that, far from being docile sheep, homeschoolers are as adults more likely to be politically engaged, which Professor West worries might “undermine, limit, or destroy state functions that interfere with family and parental rights.” For good measure, she notes that many homeschoolers were enthusiastic about George W. Bush in 2000 — quelle horreur. Many others on the left argue that homeschooling should be either banned outright or effectively regulated out of existence.

Homeschooling terrifies the Left because the Left is at its core totalitarian, seeking to bring political discipline to every aspect of life — and control of education is essential to that project. The public school is in miniature what the Left believes the world should look like: Everybody arranged in orderly rows and moving about on an orderly schedule punctuated by bells, being taught about diversity and climate change by nice union ladies who also lead them to their federally subsidized lunches. If you can say “no” to that, you can say no to any part of the Left’s vision. Homeschooling is an existential threat to the privileged position of the institutional Left. The schools are the factory in which it manufactures its future clients.

BTW, I highly recommend Mr. Williamson's 48 page "broadside", The Dependency Agenda.

Video: North Carolina building under construction collapsing in high winds

An entire condominium under construction in Raleigh toppled on Saturday, when “hurricane strength” winds from a weekend storm ripped through the town.

The video was shot by Ed Braz, a professional wildlife photographer, whose “Whoa no, look at that!” exclamation when the building moved sideways and then toppled over captured both the destruction and adrenaline of the moment.

Winds reached up to 86 mph over the weekend, beating the previous record, and injuring at least one person.
