As someone who is making indie films now, this is such great news. Kudos to Amazon. I bet this can work and help an entire generation of filmmakers have their work seen by the masses.

We have had a very busy and productive 24 hours or so in free agency. We were one of the most active teams and we added three players that can add value next season and help us to compete for a playoff spot.

Kudos to the Paul Fahri at the Washington Post. This is the kind of story that is so relevant, so educational and so informative that it justifies the cost of subscription. I participate in this industry. I read a lot, talk to lots of smart people and I found this article to be special in its insight.

The NBA draft is entertaining television. We know most of the players having seen them play in the NCAA. We know there will be lots of draft day trades and this year's draft didn't disappoint.

"Who is going to replace him, Jesus?"
Wow. Thirty years have passed since Slapshot, the movie, opened in theaters. It is still one of my all-time favorite films. Slapshot and Caddyshack are two of the greatest sports-themed films to watch on a rainy day.

Jack White rocks! He is a guitar god now and this album is truly spectacular. Like Beck, he can transform from style to style and idiom to idiom; from blues to rockabilly; from punk to sweet melodies.

Frankly, I like Paris more than I like Mika. Paris is unabashed in what she does. Mika tried to "act" spontaneous and outraged. Give me a break. If you don't want to talk about Paris Hilton THEN don't talk about her. Ignore her. But certainly creating a media stir about NOT talking about her defeats your purpose. It does get you onto YouTube and AOL Video though. People will also blog about you.

Check out THINKFilm's website. They have Nanking listed in the "Coming Soon" section. I must admit, they have been very astute buyers and have an absolutely fantastic slate of independent films and documentaries that they will distribute.

Scott Stevens and Adam Oates were BOTH great, great players. Scott Stevens was the most intimidating and fiercest D-men that I ever saw. He changed the tonality of a game with his hitting and his intelligence on the ice. You never skated with your head down when Stevens was out there.

Our film premieres in China on July 3rd in Beijing and then rolls out throughout the entire country on July 7th. I believe this will be a major rollout, perhaps the biggest documentary film rollout in China's nascent film industry's history.

I love these guys. They are great fans and they wear their hearts on their sleeves and their colors on their bodies. I watched as one of these gentelmen received the tatoo on his neck. Is that a hardcore fan or what?
Thanks guys, you are brave and loya fans. Go Caps.

Yikes... I didn't know I was trendy like Cameon Diaz, although I may never get to travel to Peru. When I was last in China, I bought dozens of these bags and gave them as gift to friends. "Serve the People", a mantra I believe in.
