Professionalism: is it begotten by nature or nurture?
Much imitated, never bettered—in 2009, the collective known as ‘The Professionals’ conspired to found a cinema-centric haven whereon to share their movie musings and ephemera with like-minded readers in pursuit of an alternative source of film commentary—inspired by the raw fucking power of Christian Bale’s on-set Terminator Salvation rant… they called it AIN’T IT BALE NEWS.
What is AIBN?
It is a reflection—an echo—a baby’s first breath—an old friend’s last gasp.
It is the savage momentum of a runaway locomotive simply too grandiose and magnificent to curate or control.
It is a thunderclap of an erection willed into existence by a collective conscience—the Volition of the Few.
Integrity, bravery, trustworthiness, accountability, ambition, and scholarship are the marks of the Professional, a disciple who extends compassion and respect to all who seek the Path of Perpetual Light.
In 2014, AIBN founding members; DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD, STUNTCOCK_MIKE, Koutchboom, and Hawaiian Organ Donor launched THE FISTCAST, a free-wheelin’, hard-cocked exploration of the art of cinema and the pursuit of love, liberty, and brotherhood—the absolute peak of perfection by which all other podcasts must be compared and found wanting.
What is AIBN?
It is a reflection—an echo—a half remembered dream.
Now make the climb, so that fear will find you again.
Solicit my advice and you awaken Truth; for I speak no other tongue. Spill my blood and you let flow Professionalism; for I know no other way to live.
