"Parks and Recreation - Campaign Ad episode review

01.01.70

I’m not suggesting that Parks and Games should be viewed as anything beyond a belly laugher that occasionally will endear us with acts of good will and friendship (and this CERTAINLY is not a slight), but I felt as though this chapter had a pretty visible thematic undercurrent. Besides being a related social satire (perhaps) of the ongoing tete a tete between Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney-endorsing Wonderful PACs, I saw “Campaign Ad” as a commentary on idealism vs. realism. In both subplots, we saw the extremes employed. Andy and April chose to cut their abysmal financial situation and hope that indemnification would cover an absurd amount of medical care that certainly both have been neglecting for some time. And Ron F***ING Swanson was cruel and merciless in crushing the dreams of the Public Works Conditioned by trust in who hoped to build a dam. Of course, both incarnations of these men outlooks were hysterical, but obviously flawed. Ron doubtlessly could have been more compassionate, and based on Chris’ proposal at toward the episode’s end, if he could remain open-minded a more lucrative and instrumental position of assistant city manager would await him. Could you concoct a Libertarian like him with the power to cut spending in any (and rightful maybe all) departments? And Andy certainly sees the period through rose-colored glasses. And according to his eye study, he needs  glasses. According to his testimony it sounds as if he has been pain from nearsightedness for oh…his whole adult life.

Filmmaker: Tebow is an authentic good guy

01.01.70

But Tebow genuinely believes that. And that's one of the messages of the haziness, says Chase Heavener, who directed "Tim Tebow: Everything in Between."

Tim Tebow is literally what he appears to be: a hard-working, squeaky-completely, all-American guy.

"It's really cool to see that it's true. He is who he says he is," Heavener said.

Heavener is something of an superb on this subject. He's not just a filmmaker who followed the man who is now arguably the most acclaimed quarterback in America. He's also a friend.

Heavener's dad and Tebow's dad were college roommates and have stayed buddies. That attachment uniquely positioned the younger Heavener to ask the Heisman Remembrance winner and two-time national champion to be filmed constantly through winter 2010.

Heavener and his together at Fiction, a video production company, ended up with more than 1,000 hours of overlay, which were edited to 50 minutes when ESPN picked up the box rights to the project. It was shot in the months between Tebow's last collegiate dissimulate and the night he was drafted by the Broncos.
