Forum For You

Today our modified website and controversial Free Speech Forum is being surreptitiously launched. Fanfare just doesn't seem appropriate since we're still tweaking some of the goofy icons that came with the initial template. Who would'a thunk that making a movie could be such an educational experience? On top of learning FCP by the seat of our pants, we've now become second-rate amateur website builders as well. Ha!

We went to a SAG-related screening last week to see a documentary about George McGovern's run for the presidency back in 1972. It's called "One Bright Shining Moment: The Forgotten Summer of George McGovern" from filmmaker Stephen Vittoria. After the 125 minute film, we hung around for the informative Q&A session. Seeing another documentary with such a long running time, we wondered why we killed ourselves editing ours down from 105 to 84 minutes. Anyway, the movie was inspirational on many levels. Not only was it a history lesson, but it was a sad reminder that McGovern was a rare breed - a candidate with tremendous integrity, truly for the people. Based on the response of the audience, it's clear that there is an audience hungry for material like our film. America is ready! The question is - are we?

So come celebrate the Ides of March of the Penguins, and be opinionated to your heart's content. Of course, we do ask that you observe a modicum of decorum at our Free Speech Forum, but don't get carried away with political correctness on our account.
