I saw the video of him talking to our people and I think he was trying to be nice - he looked like he was making a hostage tape - though we edited it a bit.ed notes onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018047869059226777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-22888527125628203052010-09-26T21:18:11.789-04:002010-09-26T21:18:11.789-04:00Hey Schoolgal - sorry for not getting back to you....Hey Schoolgal - sorry for not getting back to you. Been a busy few days. Hard to say about turnout since the Loews has 13 theaters. We were going to get a crew to go to the 7pm show Friday but Fandango has most shows sold out. yet when I got there only the 7:30 was sold out. Certainly lots of people went. We met NYC teachers coming out of the 4-4:30 shows who were real happy to see us there.ed notes onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018047869059226777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-68855931832825442512010-09-26T15:35:05.351-04:002010-09-26T15:35:05.351-04:00Fantastic.

Wait, perhaps they considered doing something substantial, imaginative and daring but were too worried about how the media would portray them. After all our president (last week's DA) said we are above this film. He and the union will not give any energy to this film because it will be silenced during the run-up to the elections. But feel free to write to Oprah.
