Great post on Sicko at The Back Row Manifesto

Why do I think this post by Tom Hall re: Michael Moore's doc Sicko is great? Because it made me want to watch the movie (yeah, I know its an important movie about an important issue, but I was going to watch Transformers for the second time at my next movie outing, change of plans now). Here is a bit from the post at The Back Row Manifesto : "Any American who watches a woman who has lost her home to health care related debt break down in tears of disbelief as she receives free health care from what is essentially a Third World hospital will feel deeply ashamed. How can it be that a nation like Cuba, relatively poor, can provide free health care to its people while we, the richest nation in the world, drive our people into debt and despair for the sake of medical profiteering? Sicko is built on moments like this, and succeeds because it recognizes the fundamental humanity of its subjects." Read the rest here . Thanks AJ Schnack for the link. - Sujewa

Check out the excellent trailer for Jennifer Fox's Flying: Confessions of a Free Woman (now playing at the Film Forum in NYC) here at YouTube . It made me laugh towards the end, with that "women masturbate" line. - Sujewa

Did interview with Ali Naderzad, Gazette :: Ms. Amanda is making oatmeal cookies for opening night

Preparations & publicity work for the Date Number One 7/12 - 18 run in Kensington, MD continued today. Did an interview for the Gazette newspapers, and also one for Ali Naderzad - he's got a blog & he is the film editor for Anthem Magazine . Time to go to sleep, got a full day of dealing with sponsors, day job work, buying an ad, and work on the movie tomorrow. Busy (& kinda nervous), but lovin' it - getting the movie out DIY style baby! A one week run at a large local venue w/ all major area newspapers giving some ink to the event - that's pretty sweet. Girlfriend Amanda said today that she will bake 100 or so oatmeal cookies to sell at the opening night. Those cookies are home-made delicious. Related - audience members will be able to bring their own food & snacks to the movie. Will post up the interview links when they appear next week. - Sujewa
