February 2006 Archives

Went last weekend to the Traverse Area Library's "Cinema Curiosa", a monthly series with different films (largely documentary and very left-leaning) and really excellent cookies. Playing for February was "The Weather Underground", about the extreme SDS faction.

The quintessential "film that writes itself". Also an awesome 25 words or less pitch to a producer. In fact a 5 words or less pitch: "Snakes! On a Plane! Right?"

Apparently not a joke. The sad part: I'll still probably see it, because how can you resist snakes on a plane.

Thanks to Galapagos for the tip off.
