That's where the kinetic energy is coming from.  Considering the vector he was moving towards, he would have had no power with the other leg.

They tend to follow trends every year.  This year definitely has more geo-political intrigue type films.

That and child Labor laws.  Poor Shirley Temple was forced to perform in her first film at age -2!

I've advocated for Dr. Horrible, but I feel like we'd almost have to do another episode with it to justify it.  Maybe the Buffy musical as a double header, but not sure how that would work with sync points.

If we schedule it, one of us could tackle a book each and get really deep into it.

I love all three movies and would be down to tag team it.  Fun idea, we could have one dedicated panelist with a copy of the book sort of following along.  It would be fun to note things like the battle for Helms Deep is like a page long, while the description of the different elven dialects is several pages worth of materials.  Also, LOTR as a franchise means a lot to nerd types so 9 hours of film could give opportunity to everyone talking about Tolkein's influence on individual cast members.  Im sure we could be creative about it.

Also, I totally want to do Psycho.

I do.  Not perfect, but its very fun and lyrical, if slipshod and a lot like trying to transport large quantities of soup in a burlap sack.

Lethal Weapon 2 is actually my favorite.  1 is certainly an underrated classic.

Mike references the "My First Movie," book, which I own, and heartily recommend.

Good commentary guys.  Really liked this one.

Keep in mind the Director credit was given by the same producer that took it away.  It went to Sundance with her name as Director.

This is feature directing.  You dont cut demo's and do interviews.  If she claims she's a director, and they go to IMDB and see no Director credit, it kills her credibility.  Likewise if she DOESN'T list it, she loses out on her first Director credit, which is always the hardest to get with real films.

My old colleague and good friend Jessica Hernandez was hired to edit a documentary about Benazir Bhutto about 2 years ago.  She was promoted to Co-Director of the film (with Johnny O'Hara) by the producer because she kicks ass at her job and was a consumate professional.  She single handedly restructured the movie, and the producer, Duane Baughman, was in no short supply of praise for her.  The film made it into Sundance 2010 where it screened, Duane praised her as "The best editor in America" and got a deal with PBS.  It makes its theatrical premiere this weekend.  Except Jessica's name has been removed from the credits as Co-Director.  O'Hara's name is there...as well as Duane Baughman, now sharing Director credit.  She retains her Editor credit, but she did so much more than that.

The reasons for which are total bullshit.  In a public forum, I'm not sure I'm allowed to say.  Lets just say its equal parts vanity and global politics.  But legally there's nothing she can do.  Even though at Sundance and in all the early press events she's listed as Co-Director, Duane is the one doing all the press.

My question is, what can be done virally to spread the word about this?  She's not after fame or money (it's documentary filmmaking afterall) she just wants the due respect for her work.
