Intellectual Property

...or, he who lives by the sword, dies by the sword! Or at least gets paper cuts!

You know, I'm like the last to know! They're planning to film an Air Racing Movie at PRS in June and no one told me! How rude!

Feature Film, Thunder Over Reno™ – The World’s Fastest Love Story!, is in pre-production, set to release 2007.

Reno, NV, 5/30/2006 – A fictional story set in and around the city of Reno, Nevada will be shooting soon at the famous Reno Stead Airport. Each year this airport hosts the world’s fastest motorsport race during the Reno National Championship Air Races. The Unlimited Class aircraft race at speeds often exceeding 500 miles per hour at an average of 50 feet above the ground around a pyloned course of nine laps.

Titled, Thunder Over Reno, (TOR) the story is a version of the tried and true Hollywood-style love-story, with a few twists. TOR is a planned (AVISET STUDIO, LLC) Independent Production whose principals are Robert Odegaard, famed Aircraft Restorer and Operator, Rob Challans, Professional Pilot, and (TOR’s) Creator and award-winning Director, Mitch Carley. Mitch originally registered this script in 1992 and will be Directing the production to its final edit. This production is set to film at this years’ Pylon Racing Seminar (PRS) held annually by the Reno Air Racing Association. The mission of PRS is to train and refresh the skills needed to fly the racecourse in a skilled and safe manner. This seminar and filming will take place at the Reno Stead Airport, June 17 – 21. The Reno based production will culminate with a ‘Parade of Planes’ through the neon lit downtown streets of Reno on Wednesday evening June 21.
This production is a collective effort of the Reno Air Racing Association (RARA) and AVISET Studio, LLC to promote and entertain with this unique back-drop for a touching love-story. “I have assembled this production with the passion and tact that has been proven to launch careers in the past where the shared goal is to create great family entertainment first and then the reward will come.”, stated Mitch Carley the Director. The ‘stars’ of TOR are, Hawk Younkins who plays the films heroic lead; Natasha Yi, a strong self-directed female pilot, who is a love interest – and capped off with the relentless Bobby Arnofsky and Izabella St. James.

Robert Odegaard and overseeing safety pilot/contributor Alan Preston along with a team of skilled aviators are working close with RARA and the FAA to insure safety while creating excitement. Doug Anderson who is one of the Directors of Photography recently stated, “This will be the picture to refer to regarding high-impact air to air footage, we are capturing images that the public has never seen.” Rob Challans has kept this project very low-profile on purpose due to the fragile nature of all entities coming together for the same mission, stating, “…it has been a long and involved process and until we were truly green-lit by all overseeing authorities we did not want to discuss this project until now.”

Bringing this concept from a script to reality regarding all the related concerns has been led by RARA’s President and CEO, Mike Houghton. Mr. Houghton summarized the effort with this, “We at RARA and the AVISET Studio team agreed at the beginning that we will work together to create an exciting film that the entire family can enjoy over and over….” A variety of marketing extensions are being planned including the soundtrack that is being produced and overseen by Mark Slaughter, of the chart-successful rock-band, Slaughter. In addition to the core team, local services in Reno are being provided by Debra Lynn and Ken Hull, Owners and Producers of Nevada Casting Inc., with additional support from Jim Mitchell of Skyfire Video / CAMRAC Productions, and Wayne Sagar of AAFO.com – providing all of the up to date information on this and other related news regarding the sport of air racing.

Now, truth in publishing:

"The Unlimited Class aircraft race at speeds often exceeding 500 miles per hour at an average of 50 feet above the ground around a pyloned course of nine laps."

This statement is almost totally untrue. 500 mph ~ Only been done once. They had to change the course on paper first, but the pilot still succeeded for the record on the old course description, too, so it's been done...once! Fifty feet above the ground...never been done at Reno at only 50 feet above the ground! And is it me, or hasn't there been eight and ten lap races? Memory doesn't serve me well on that last one and you can't trust anything you read at the Reno National Championship Invitational Lower Than S~t Air Races Website. Nor what you read at the even lower Aafhole.Con.

Now, FYI...as previously mentioned, they're screwing up! I blame Houghton and Sagar. They only have part of the concept of an "Air Racer Parade" down and frankly, they should be running it annually since everybody else in town, from the Reno Rodeo Parade to the Reno Gay Pride Parade, get the attention down South Virginia, just not the Air Racers!

Sagar, Houghton, I teach you everything I know, and still you know nothing! Why is that!? <Grrr>

If you're going to hold a f~king parade down South Virginia at night, through the middle of the downtown area, with airplanes that include those with highly-buffed, waxed paint and/or bare metal fuselages ~ and those fantastic mirror shines in particular ~ the neon lights are nice, but remember, this is the town that did one thing a lot of towns didn't do on January 1, 2000, the start of the millenium:

They fired off FIREWORKS from every rooftop of every casino down South Virginia, and boy-oh-boy, what a spectacular sight that was with all the people and those fine Neon Lights (a.k.a., "Neon Art) in the background.

Sagar, Houghton ~ if you're going to steal my ideas and employ them in somebody else's movie without thought of paying me for this brilliance, you could at least steal the ENTIRE idea!

Speaking of stealing, and copyright violation in particular, Waynerz...that picture of you on the www.thunderoverreno.com website looks awful damned familiar! You were told about that, now! Please provide proof at this time that the picture was taken by another photographer, otherwise, I have to add another copyright violation to my upcoming libel and breach of contract lawsuit against you.

Just the same, nice to see us doing so well at the website I am half owner of...Aafhole.Crapola! That means you'll be able to afford to cough up more dough in the Penalties and Punitive damage phase.

And there's the issue of "Intellectual Property Theft!" Boyz, get your Attornies working on that one right away, because I've that Parade issue in writing...time and time again, since 1999. Just like RARA Girl, which HAHA (Rhymes with RARA...intentionally...), is now concealing this year in their clothing store, though still selling product under my copyrighted "Intellectual Property."

I will soon be selling RARA Girl merchandise myself. I have an idea for a line of T-shirts featuring the "Real" RARA Girl, and she sure as hell don't look a damned thing like that vixen Houghton's fantastical dreams (read "fantasies") came up with. Hot pants and a bomber jacket? If she's so damned cold she has to wear a bomber jacket, why not put her in full leathers with helmet and oxygen mask? And those f~king boots taken off the dead body of Miss Kitty 130 years after she was put in the grave...holy cow!

They have the wrong word written on them, but synonomous just the same: R-E-N-O = P-R-O-S-T-I-T-U-T-E!

I would have filed suit by now if it weren't for the fact that the issue is part of a larger case, which will soon be filed upon none the less. The nice thing is, having copied all the e-mails I've sent out and received over time, including an entire two-year history of ICQ Messages between myself and Blayne Slagar, Professional Backstabber and Liar, who thinks Journalistic Ethics are just another brand of toilet paper, and in that regard, I wish him many a paper cut ~ hell, I'm all set for Court! And these new issues just keep coming up and BINGO, New, Fresh, Time Limits based on discovery of new evidence (That's right, Jones, Vargas, Raggio and Scolari, that's one of the angles you'll be fighting, if you don't just lie down, roll over and play dead, knowing how badly your clients have already screwed the pooch by not consulting with you BEFORE they committed to their F~k ups!)...

Those poor movie guys...I even have the Air Race Parade issue on tape with Houghton! HA! Mitch, Bob ~ did Mikey and Waynerz forget to tell you something?

Maybe they'll trade me a role in their movie for my Intellectual Property! I can play a meely-mouthed, two-timing, no good, son-of-a-bitch of an A$$hole Air Race reporter...

...ah, forget it...I don't look a damned thing like Sagar! And since he's not a Journalist in the first place, well, it would just be another lie to play that clown as a "Real Journalist!" HA!

Oh, and I hate the alcoholic Blonde Aryan types that he hangs with. Couldn't stand having one of those on each arm as I played Blayne Slagar, fearless investigative journalist, being arrested and thrown off Stead Airport Nevada, for cutting in on Houghton's Hilton Pylon Bar action! <GGG>

Mikey: do you think this might have been a bad time for Circus Vargas to send me that latest banishment letter!? OH, and all this SECRECY!

Christ, they've been gathering film on this project since 1999, if not earlier. And what ever happened to Blue Yonder, considering how successful "Hoodwinked" was? Did they get the axe because they stole the title to this project, and Thunder Over Reno was all that was left? Or is everyone like me? Loved the banter, hated the music!!! Except for that hip-hop song when Granny is snowboarding down the mountain...anyone seen it? Ah well, I digress, but a smart screenplay! Get it on DVD and find some way to cut out the majority of the music...

Getting back to the subject at hand, and what of this fraud!? Often fly at 500 mph (once). Fifty feet of the ground (BS ~ Erin Rheinschild was seen trimming the sagebrush with her propeller...literally! Now, THAT'S an Air Race Hero, I kid you not! I think that's better than 1981, when Lefty put his wingtip through a sagebrush and an old wooden post believed to have been hidden inside, over time since the late 1800s!)

The only time a racer flies at fifty feet is passing above the R on the Home Pylon so they don't get a low flying penalty from over zealous judges. Time to repeal that stupid, dangerous, altitude restriction, RARA Boyz! FARs put the pilot in charge of the operation of his aircraft, not the Pylon Judges or the Contest Committee.

Yeah, this is a movie I want to see...I won't have to wait long, just until 2007! I want to see how many more of my ideas Mikey and Waynerz have tinkered with and called their own! Then passed on to poor Mitch and Bob! Not that the Reno Air Race Parade is an original, having been done back in the 1960s and 1970s. I even think they did it once in the 1980s.

But, Geez, guys, introducing something I fought for and have been fighting for recently, that doesn't exist in reality, but only in my ideas at the moment!? And only in your dreams, if that!

And then leaving out the FIREWORKS! Millenium-style fireworks, fired while the parade is underway, from every Casino and hotel rooftop in Reno, with the little red, blue, green, purple and gold sparkles, dripping out of the sky, reflected in those buffed fuselages. And the actors looking up like that scene out of The Right Stuff, when they're finally getting their due at a Texas BBQ staged by Vice President Johnson, looking at each other at the end, like they had finally arrived.

And yet, Chuck Yeager was still out there, unrecognized in the shadow of Astronuats, bailing out of his crippled, rocket-powered F104 test plane, suffering burns when the pyrotechnics from the ejection seat entered his helmet visor when he collided with the seat after bail out.

And there's Yeager surviving yet again, walking across the Rogers Dry Lake Bed with his face half burned off, a Proud Hero, never to be known for his sacrifices in the shadow of others...

...you know, much like the Air Racers of today in the shadow of Houghton's foot, as he presses down on their necks, cutting off their lifeblood.

Once again, some movie heroes are going to experience something many in Air Racing today have not...the Reno Air Race Parade. The NASCAR Star Treatment, which will be a lie in the movie since RARA hasn't been dishing anything out other than Houghton's Bulls~t since the day he arrived and sold the racecourse land to his buddies at the AAWC, guaranteeing (maybe <G>) the shutdown of the Reno Air Races and the humongous, under the table bonuses, for those "Philanthropists" on the RARA Board of Directors, not to mention, himself!

I'm of the opinion that the Air Race mascot even got a cut...though the Volunteers sure as Hell didn't! And the purse is anywhere from $500,000 to a cool million dollars lighter than it should be!

And once again, poor Mitch and Bob...trusting their movie to amateurs. Promoting these lies and the liars that propagate them! With actors.

Holly ~
wierd!

I love this line in the Press Release:

"Bringing this concept from a script to reality regarding all the related concerns has been led by RARA’s President and CEO, Mike Houghton. Mr. Houghton summarized the effort with this, 'We at RARA and the AVISET Studio team agreed at the beginning that we will work together to create an exciting film that the entire family can enjoy over and over'…."

Key words: at the beginning. Sure have f~ked it up since, haven't you Mikey!? You're going to f~k it up some more, ain't ya!? <G>

Well, no big deal. At least Sagar will still love ya! And you'll love him right back! LOL!!! Though Sagar has repeatedly said that Houghton lacked vision and should have been given the boot!

Would that have un-wedged your nose from his a$$ Blaynerz!? I didn't think that was possible.

Oh, well. Time to get the old trenchcoat out of storage, line the pockets with popcorn, candy, a Slurpee machine, an ice cream truck and a copy of Daily Variety, because SHOWTIME is a comin'!

And I love the fact that the filming of a movie does NOT constitute A RARA event! Frankly, even it it were, I'm ignoring these clowns anyway and coming loaded for...

...can't say it! Mickey Da Rat and Blayne Slagar are no doubt reading this, rummaging for new ideas to call their own, since they can't come up with anything original! LOL!

Lights! Neon! Fireworks! Action! Camera! There's a couple of frauds who are ready for their close-ups. You know, one shot take from the front, then you have them turn, and the officer shoots one of their profile.

P.S. "and Wayne Sagar of AAFO.com – providing all of the up to date information on this and other related news regarding the sport of air racing."

Clearly, more lies. If you want to stay up to date, go to Warbird Aero Press.Com at
www.warbirdaeropress.com . Sagar's site is kept less up to date about Air Racing than www.bowling.com !

Good grief! These Hollywierd Press People and the things they try to get away with! Like Sagar really knows news or anything about Journalism!

...or like Houghton really knows anything about
Air Racing! LOL!!!
