ARTHOUSE FILM NEWS - Cosmic Disco Detective Rene at Facets, Chicago 11/29/23

Read it here , straight out of the press material. But the next time the flick plays in DC there will be screener DVDs available & thus there should be a longer review in City Paper & other local papers. Here's what it said: " DATE NUMBER ONE A 110-minute film with unusual stories about five first dates--including a ninja looking for love and "air quotes" woman's search for a new boyfriend. (MM) Goethe-Institut—Sat., 5/13 " All in all the City Paper mentioned the flick @ 3 places - showtimes & the above brief description & the ad, not bad at all. Let's see what the attendance is like tonight & how many people found out about the screenings from the CP. - Sujewa

My scanner is having some trouble & I have not figured out how to get an image from a PDF file on to my blog. So, Jerry @ the excellent Hollywood Is Talking blog just posted up the ad art from the Washington City Paper ad for this weekend's Date Number One premiere (I'll post it up here too, as soon as I get the scanner thingy workin'). Here's the link , check it out! Thanks Hollywood Is Talking blog! - Sujewa

Chuck T. at the Chutry Experiment blog most recently mentioned the upcoming Date Number One premiere in DC here. Thanks Churty Experiment! If you mention Date Number One & any of its related missions (screenings, DVD, benefits) in your blog, let me know directly (the all seeing web eye of the sujewa is busy these days w/ the rough cut-fine cut of the film & screening producin' details, don't have as much time to comb the web), send me an e-mail: wilddiner at aol.com. I'll do some mutual appreciation by mentioning & linking to your mention of my movie here. Hollywood Is Talking should have the first web review of the film (done from the rough cut) tomorrow Fri 5/12 or Sat 5/13 (or as soon as JB can get to it, I think it'll be this weekend). Lookin' forward to the premiere on Sat night. I need to get a hair cut & lace up my nice shoes. Need to get a leash for my pet comodo dragon, taking it to the show. See ya at the show Chuck! - Sujewa

When I get a minute to do some blogging while engaged in the distribution of the juicy new film Date Number One , I will point out blog mentions of the film, reviews, etc. Here's one: Filmmaker Magazine's blog mentioned the upcoming World Premiere screenings at Goethe in DC this Sat, 7 PM & 9 PM. Thanks Filmmaker Magazine blog! - Sujewa ps: GreenCine Daily mention of premiere & Hollywood Is Talking mention links coming very soon, the next time I take a bloggin' break.

And when I say rock star I mean a real rock star, known to many world wide, secretly & openly worshipped by fans on all 5 continents, a dude who makes a living from music (not essential for being a rock star of course) and more importantly, one of my favorite artists. Very inspirational dude. He will try to make it he said (he's known for keeping his word, so it is a more firm statement than most peoples' "will try to make it"). If nothing else at least I got to talk to him on the phone (on my brand spankin' new "DC red" cell phone w/free incoming calls!) two days ago re: the Date Number One premiere on 5/13 Sat @ Goethe in DC. Dude is not a big fan of name dropping & over-commerciality & hype, as far as I can tell, so I won't mention his name here. But if he does show up, I'll mention it in the show report. Maybe I'll even be able to get a pic w/ him. Either way, it is all good, very happy about the premiere happening in DC, reg

That line is from rule #2 of Jim Jarmusch's Golden Rules, a Moviemaker magazine article. Thanks GreenCine Daily for the link. Here's the entire rule #2: " Rule #2 : Don’t let the fuckers get ya. They can either help you, or not help you, but they can’t stop you. People who finance films, distribute films, promote films and exhibit films are not filmmakers. They are not interested in letting filmmakers define and dictate the way they do their business, so filmmakers should have no interest in allowing them to dictate the way a film is made. Carry a gun if necessary." Read all the rules here. Jarmusch, as always, rocks. He pretty much invented indie film as most of us know it with 1984's Stranger Than Paradise . - Sujewa
