I’m proud to announce my newest feature, Dare to be Stupid. The goal is for this to be my forum for posting general editorial rants, musings, or even just odd things that I find on the Web that just might be movie related. The goal is to post this feature regularly, though how regularly I do not know. Some of the editorials I am actually going to attempt to show a bit of journalistic integrity and actually research my subjects. Novel I know.

As for the title of the feature, I’m sure some of you are wondering just what I mean by it. It basically is a philosophy that I do not live by, but wish more often that I did. Their is something to be said for people and events that take risks to be great, knowing full when that in hindsight they could look utterly stupid. It’s to those who will risk everything for the opportunity to look stupid that is the inspiration for this feature. And with that I give you my first foray into the unknown, thanks to legendary guitarist Nigel Tufnel of the in-famous (i.e. more then famous) rock band Spinal Tap who recently sat down with National Geographic to discuss his expertise on Stonehenge.
