Acceptable TV airs tonight on VH1. The premise is that people will pitch pilots for TV shows, and winners get picked up for more episodes, which VH1 will air. Acceptable TV creator Dan Harmon made My Black Friend as an example. You can see (and vote on) other pilots at the Acceptable TV site.
My friends Eric Breitenbach and Phyllis Redman recently completed an absolute stunner of a documentary called When Pigs Fly. It's an incredibly moving portrait of a quadriplegic woman who lives with and cares for over 700 pigs. Yes, 700 pigs! I could rave about the film, but since I'm a friend I'll just point you to a couple reviews:
This Sunday, March 25, 2007, I am moderating a panel discussion after a screening of the film at the Florida Film Festival, so if you are in or near Orlando, come on by and check it out on the big screen, as it is a beautifully photographed movie.
How you react to this video will probably say something about your age. To a Baby Boomer, this is a slightly more absurd version of the soundtrack of childhood nightmares. It really needs an appearance by Peter Sellers to make it complete. Those who came of age after the Cold War will enjoy seeing things go boom. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Worth mentioning I thought. Well done, Evil Richard, whoever knew the Joker's boner would be so popular. Oh, and during the last week we also served our 10 millionth page. Happy whatever to us.
Whoops! We're not sure if it was your fault or ours (probably yours, we're good that way) but you've encountered a FATAL ERROR!!! Or at least, a pretty grumpy one.
Specifically the Latvians who run our server are telling us in a weird accent "Smarty error: [in evaluated template line 5]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'mtfeed' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 580), Comrade!". Ain't life a bitch.
If you want to vent, email our slacker of a webmaster. Otherwise, we'd suggest going back, using search, or clicking around aimlessly on this page like a moron.
