She Can Have Her Paper, We've Got the Truth
Do you think Wendy will try to sue every person who ever sees the film?

George markets only for the forces of good for a living. He has a paid hobby that involves eating, drinking, and writing, things he’d do for free, which is almost what he’s doing it for. In a previous life he taught mostly illiterate and generally ungrateful college students how to write. He has been a body guard for Jodie Foster, a walk-on dancer with French avant garde troupe Maguy Marin, a film programmer, a judge at an Iron Chef style competition, a political activist, a textbook author, a bassist in a band, a two-time league winning fantasy baseball manager, a union local president, a pr flack helping run a red carpet at an Angelina Jolie event, a janitor, a chauffeur to folks from TC Boyle to Andrei Codrescu, a delivery man to Plato's Retreat, a reluctant writer of a non-snarky intro for Colin Powell, a radio DJ, a corn detassler, an escort van driver, a rock journalist, a lab assistant for a company that made everything from mouthwash to super skin lubricant, and even, once, a poet. His biggest brush with fame was when Julie Christie fondled his tie, a tie George Lopez belittled to 1000 people minutes later. The best thing about him is his wife. His dogs aren't bad, either.

Soooo, this movie is about what exactly?
Sorry for the Santa Barbara inside baseball but we've been having a hell of a time with the owner of our local daily who has gutted the paper over the past 2 years. There was a great RJ Smith article in Los Angeles Magazine that "sums up" (it's 7500 words!) the whole sorry affair.
I think I'm being sued right now for looking at the poster on your blog.
Bring it on, honey. I'll be the one in a tuxedo.
No one will give a shit. No one does now and the News Press is still in business and un-unionized. Lets not confuse the money the pro-union workers want from the quality of their product - which has been uneven at best even before Wendy arrived. I've been reading this rag for 35 years and can say I have enough of NY Times reprints and AP wire stories. If you really have the balls to walk the walk start your own newspaper. Otherwise you're just a bullshiter.
