It was remarkable to talk with him about his debut picture, and especially to hear his views of the film's failures and successes. Do you often screen documentaries?

I hear that you got KILLED at scrabble by a DORK recently, even though the board was upside-down the whole time and she LET you use SUV which is *clearly* not in the scrabble dictionary. http://www.hasbro.com/scrabble/pl/page.tools/dn/home.cfm Bluish Barn,

'cause if it is then I choose a Bollywood film. !!! Three exclamation marks not for strength, but length. I'll name a few I'd like to see: Devdas - though I hear it's depressing Koi ... Mil Gaya - which I've read is god awful good The Rising - a 2005 film about Indians overthrowing the British East India Company's imperialist grip I doubt a bollywood film would truly be appreciated, so how about <em>The Peanut Butter Solution</em>?

I’ll name a few I’d like to see:

Devdas - though I hear it’s depressing
Koi … Mil Gaya - which I’ve read is god awful good
The Rising - a 2005 film about Indians overthrowing the British East India Company’s imperialist grip

I doubt a bollywood film would truly be appreciated, so how about The Peanut Butter Solution?

Or, if you'd rather, on Tuesday, the 19th of September? If you say "no!" I may never know the pleasure of outdoor screenings. hey bluish,

The Wiseman we'll be showing is Titticut Follies, probably the best known film from such a little known filmmaker. It won't be the most uplifting or rowdy screening, but some things just must be shown. We were all set earlier this summer to do a whole evening of Brackhage on actual film. Then Mikey got lazy and/or busy or whatever and/or certain of his key Brakhage-film-owning friends went out of town and it never happened. Maybe in the future. Girl Next Door, you are officially more of a dork than me for commenting on this blog after calling me a dork for having it. I will add Flight of the Navigator to the list of possible nostalgia films to screen, since part of me secretly hopes to get abducted and wake up years later every time I walk down into a ravine.
