I saw this on Ted Hope's blog and got a little nostalgic. I agree - everything old is new again. Ang Lee rules and this particular time in indie filmmaking was awesome - it seems like we're setting up to do it all again.

Dude, if you haven't seen "The Square" you are missing out! It's awesome and it's playing at The Nuart right now! We programmed his great short "Spider" a few years back - this film is so much more but you just gotta see it. For what it's worth The New York Times review agrees with me.And for fun here is that awesome short! It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye.

I remember seeing this film at Sundance and just fell in love with it. Where can I find a DVD

I just happened to watch "Choose Me" last night and then heard this morning that Teddy Pendergrass died. So sad and random, I had been thinking about this movie recently, I loved it when it first came out and wanted to see if it held up... not so much. Still this song rocks! RIP Teddy Pendergrass, that voice was the soundtrack to a many a makeout sessions in my youth.

There's an awesome new book out about the psychedelic pioneers Timothy Leary, Richard Alpert, Andrew Weil, Huston Smith.
