LGBT-inclusive advertising campaigns (which depict same-sex couplehood either in images or words) among mainstream advertisers is a rare thing, indeed. This is part of my series to document companies who market a product or service meant for the general population but with an ad that targets, focuses on or includes the LGBT community.

[amazonify]B000Y7U98C:right[/amazonify]In my never-ending quest to pur off law school homework, I rented the 2007 film Sunshine off my AppleTV last night. I had heard good things about it, but never got the chance to catch it while it was in the theatres. Besides, it has Chris Evans in it – a reason alone to watch it.
l also have been a long-time fan of Danny Boyle ever since he came out with the film, Trainspotting in the 1990s.
Unlike Trainspotting, or even 28 Days Later, Sunshine is not an instant masterpiece of genre film. It is, instead, just a well-made science fiction work.
Synopsis: In the future, the sun is dying and a team of scientists are on a possibly one-way mission to reignite the star to save life on planet Earth, which is caught in an ice age.
So the crew embarks on its seven-year mission and is strapped into a huge space ship that is one-part huge bomb headed out to re-fuel the star and one-part escape vehicle. On the way it becomes a well-written human drama, a thriller and a film about spiritual journeys.
It was well-worth that rental fee and one of the best science fiction films to be released in the past 10 years.

This is the title and description and directions to my “land holding” in Scotland. Rich’s mom bout it for me for Christmas – 2007
These are “tag” logos that I made in 2007 to go with stories for the TV shows, Smallville and Supernatural.
This is a scan of the pamphlet that came with the Scotland deeds that Rich’s mom bought us for Christmas, 2007. Apparently, a land trust in Scotland is selling off 1-square-foot of wildlife protection areas to Americans in order to fund preserving Scotland’s natural forests.
