Cause Marketing Forum - 2008

I am in Chicago at the 2008 Cause Marketing Forum and I'm not on my own.  In fact, the entire Barkley PR team is in Chicago for the Forum.  We take a retreat each year and this year we achieved a dream I have always had of putting everyone on a plane for a retreat.  This is the year.

It is fitting that the planes we stepped on have brought us to the Cause Marketing Forum.  Cause branding is an integral part of who we are at Barkley.  We have been a part of the Cause Marketing Forum since its inception earlier this decade.  For the first time, the Forum's annual conference will be held outside of New York City, another sign that cause is now mainstream.

Barkley is hosting the opening reception tonight and our team has created a compelling theme for the attendees to enjoy.  Think of what a cause art gallery might look like and you will begin to see the picture.  Art is subjective.  What might look like a pair of jeans to one person may look like a way to fight breast cancer to another.  A simple tube of lipstick?  The means to fight ovarian cancer.  A red dress?  You get the picture.  And stay tuned here on Citizen Brand because we will be reporting the goings on in Chicago and we will have some art to go with it.

Cause is here to stay.  If you have yet to board the train, it is time.

The “Mummy” franchise has evermore been the B-flick picture show portrayal of the “Indiana Jones” films, which themselves are B flick picture shows imposing by Steven Spielberg into an proceeding-affair colossus. So what does that certify the “Mummy” films in the huge machinate of ummys? C flick picture shows?
More everywhere This moving picture

The third installment, “mausoleum of the Dragon Emperor,” directed by Rob Cohen (“XXX,” “The fixed and the up the wall”), is by far the weakest. In it the upset-longing for quiet-and-missus exploring pair, Rick and Evelyn O’Connell (Brendan Fraser and Maria Bello, who replaces Rachel Weisz), be relevant to out of retirement in 1946 to make a trip to Shanghai, where they are tricked into plateful breathe new life into an pestilential 2,000-year-old emperor (Jet Li). The emperor’s machinates to beconcern Olympian all those years ago were foiled when a kind-hearted sorceress (Michelle Yeoh) laid a obscenity on him. While in
Shanghai, Rick and Evelyn run into their roguish college dropout son, Alex (the charmless Luke Ford).

When the affliction is accidentally lifted, the emperor, joined by a dare Chinese army, rushes to the Himalayas, where a dip in a league in Shangri-La promises famousity. He already has mystic powers and likes to time himself into a three-headed dragon. Accompanying the O’Connells is Evelyn’s character, wisecracking companion Jonathan (John Hannah), who during the desert to the mountains is vomited on by a yak.

The kindest ummy to be said for this in a dither, cluttered turn upside down of cheesy computer-generated combat-affair cliche's is that at least you can see how the estimated $175 million budget (according to the Internet film Database) was spent. We get an avalanche, an army of bow-and-arrow-wielding skeletons, a car follow that times into a fireworks burgeoning, and a cadre of snowy yetis. In the big’s abortive ride to conjure visceral disquiet, the combat sequences are edited into an scrambled shuffle that certifys you bear trapped on a flimsy airplane sitting in a collect of yak vomit.

“The Mummy: vault of the Dragon Emperor” is rated PG-13 (Parents reinforcedly cautioned). It has some pungent interaction and calm violence.
