Waiting for Superman is being screened at an invitation only event here Tuesday |
|
We'll be there with fliers for the attendees.
Yes I'll take pictures:)
Question: I've been offered a free ticket. Should I accept it and watch the slam piece er I mean movie?

1. Who is funding this? I mean, that director has been on EVERY show imaginable. |
|
I smell bucks. Who's behind him/this film/this movement?

I would imagine the distributors are promoting it as they do for most films. I don't see anything unusual about this promotion. Am I missing something?

3. Sorry, I should have been more specific. |
|
I meant to ask who is backing this film? I've not seen this much publicity in I don't know when. If it's all about how charter schools are the savior of American education, the money behind that movement is pushing the publicity.
I think you should go and 'take notes' and let us know your thoughts.

How can you truly know what it is your criticizing unless you do?

6. If you watch it then you will know what you are talking about |

nothing wrong with being educated and informed rather than criticizing something you have never seen.
Education and knowledge should be a goal

7. Hope you saw it and didn't pay. |
|
I can see it for free on Tuesdays but I missed it tonite.
Let us know if there are any surprises.
The trailer looked pretty dull.
At least Triumph of the Will was visually interesting.
