I’m sad to say that I just discovered this today, after having been here three years….but I couldn’t have afforded it, anyway, so it’s bittersweet…

They posted a funny advertisement poster on the grocery’s bulletin board, but I couldn’t find the corresponding poster on their website.  It’s called “Disaster Preparedness” and mocks the rules of Preparedness.   One rule was that there was probably a disaster underfoot if the electricity has been shut off, your cell phone doesn’t work, your neighbors are hysterical, and dogs are no longer running through the streets…:p

This site promotes the films I like.  I love, love, love independent films that aren’t the same old, same old.  I like the ones that make me think–that make me step outside the box….

….and I like the ones that highlight the aspects of society that are not all glamour, such as The Station Agent.   I picked this up at the library, and am sad that I’ll not get to see it anymore once I leave here.  It’s one of those tales that you don’t see that much out of Hollywood–and it’s well written enough that you empathize with Fin without feeling sorry for him.  It’s a wonderful story of friends’ experiences in life–a story of every day people.
