the twins
there's loads of photos from the weekend in memphis, and i'll probably try to put together another story series before the end of the week. for now though, just one at a time, and i think this might be my favorite photo from the weekend. i'm not sure what it is, but it just cracks me up. for those of you who don't know them, these are the totten twins, david and chris. it was late friday night at the arcade diner in downtown memphis, and everyone was looking pretty tired. the twins had just come off playing a long set of dance-able covers (think "Hey Ya!" etc) and somehow got into a serious conversation with lang martin.
...
a quick request: tonight is the twice-yearly meeting for the AEC's independent film series committee. i haven't had much time to get my list of films together, so if anyone has recommendations of things they'd like to see here this fall please get them to me before 6pm tonight. thanks!
for anyone wanting to see some rebuttal to michael moore's fahrenheit 9/11, david kopel has put together a list of 59 deceits from the film. its definitely worth a read, regardless of where you stand on the spectrum.
Andy -
I am pretty sure that Napoleon Dynamite hasn't come to Chattanooga. Not sure what the rules for the festival are, but it could be a fun suggestion - David and I thought it was hilarious...

how @ 'SuperSizeMe': Morgan Spurlock or
'Maria Full of Grace': Joshua Marston
'Riding Giants': Laird Hamilton and BamMan Productions

that's all...

Posted by: John Totten at July 20, 2004 02:25 PMRollerball would be good, too...You know, the one with LL Cool J?
Posted by: Bill Colrus at July 20, 2004 02:43 PMI don't know if these have come to you yet but recent ones we've seen that have been great are The Station Agent, Kitchen Stories, & City of God.
