Questions sent to Mrs. Clinton's campaign re: her recent comments about the LTTE

I blogged about this item previously (the link is in the question below), and here is the follow-up, my questions to Hillary Clinton's campaign (sent through their website) re: her recent comments re: the terrorist group LTTE: "Hello, My questions are re: Mrs. Clinton's recent comment re: the terrorist group the LTTE in Sri Lanka (made at a Guardian Unlimited interview, I blogged about it here: http://diyfilmmaker.blogspot.com/2007/10/hilary-clinton-fine-with-suicide.html ). The questions: 1 - Does Mrs. Clinton know about the nature of the LTTE (the fact that they are clearly a terrorist group & have been banned in many countries, etc.)? 2. If elected President, does Mrs. Clinton plan on removing the LTTE from the list of terrorist groups banned by the US government? Thank you. - Sujewa Ekanayake" Looing forward to Mrs. Clinton's or the campaign's response. - Sujewa

Is Hillary Clinton fine with suicide bombing, use of child soldiers & blowing up heads of state ???!!!!????

Is the possible next president of the US suggesting that the ruthless terrorist group LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam) in Sri Lanka need a more nuanced second look from the US government, even though the LTTE have been banned in the US since 1997 and they have assasinated the Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and have killed thousands of people in Sri Lanka - including Tamils; the minority that the LTTE claims to be fighting for? Very strange, do not know much about this yet, maybe I'll have to contact the Clinton campaign to figure out all the details re: her statement. But, in the meantime, here is the original statement from the Guardian Unlimited article : "( Guardian Unlimited ) Yeah. Do you think that the terrorists hate us for our freedoms, or do you think they have specific geopolitical objectives? ( Hillary Clinton ) Well, I believe that terrorism is a tool that has been utilized throughout history to achieve certain objectives. Some have been ideological, oth

Can anyone identify this sci-fi monster movie?

An early 30-something years old friend of mine who grew up in Argentina said he saw the following bit of a sci-fi horror movie (American or European - originally in English, could also be Canadian or Australian too) on TV one night when he was a kid, got scared, turned off the movie part way through - and now, as an adult in America, he's been asking people if they've ever seen this movie & if they can name it, but so far no luck, so here's the description, let me know if you know what the title of this movie is; the movie is about a third eye type thing in the brain that can be activated by some sort of a device. a man is driving & thinks about an event that happened in a house; two people put on the third eye device & then they are able to see previously invisible creatures floating around. one of the creatures - a giant fish like creature - looks at one of the guys, then swoops down & bites the dude's head off, the man dies. OK, let me know if you k

Ed Burns's latest feature Purple Violets will be available through iTunes

Get all the info. on this development at this New York Times article . Thanks Filmmaker Magazine blog for the info. Unlike some too-cool indie filmmakers/fans, I've always liked Burns's movies to some degree or another (yes, including Looking For Kitty ). Will check out Violets, through iTunes or most likely through DVD or cable when it gets to those formats - looking forward to it. Find out more about Purple Violets here . And here's the iTunes movies page. - Sujewa

2 down 298 to go OR I expect it to take about 5 years to complete all 6 of the 50 short films series

Dimensional Portal, short film # 1 in the 50 Short Films About America series , is done. Also Rock Collection, short film # 1 in the 50 Short Films About Kensington series , is shot & is awaiting some titles in order to be complete. So, 2 down basically, and 298 to go; there are 6 series of short films planned with 50 films per series (find out more about this project here ) totaling 300 short films in all. I expect the entire project to take about 5 years (it could happen a lot faster, but let's just say 5 years for now) or until the end of 2012 to complete. I am digging this gigantic short films project because some shorts can be made literally for $0 (or you can spend some money on them & make them extra fancy) and you are able to explore new things, try new (or at least new-to-you) filmmaking approaches through shorts (not a lot of money tied in shorts, also they are not as "serious" as features, as far as your overall filmmaking resume is concerned - thus mor

Mindy Kaling interview at Radar Online :: Kaling's blog

Was kind of under the weather this weekend, took it easy, home & in bed pretty much the whole weekend, watched a lot of The Office; good show to watch when you are not feeling too well :) No, really, there is hope for Hollywood/mainstream TV when it/them can turn out a pretty decent show like The Office. So, to show my appreciation, here is some Office related blogging. Mindy Kaling (Kelly Kapoor in The Office) interview at Radar Online . Also, Kaling blogs here (as Mindy Ephron). - Sujewa
