All Kinds O'Good News

A major independent distribution company* has agreed to distribute Axis of Evil, the documentary I worked on; they're going to get it into all the chain stores and video stores, and they also want to screen it at some point in the near future.

In related news, Chris Rock is going to host the Oscars in February! It's about time that they listened to me and Shawn, as we were talking about this very thing quite recently. He'll bring several needed qualities to the show:

1. He's really funny.
2. He's edgy.
3. He's not Billy Crystal.

I guess that's it.

*I had initially named the distributor, but it turns out that the contract isn't signed yet, so I should keep quiet about it.

Excellent, dude! Good luck with it. What are your credits on the film again?

I am assistant director, assistant editor, and "narration written by".

Congratulations! That is so cool.

And it's about time the academy started listening to us. Maybe Jeff Bridges will finally win an award...then again...probably not.

Hey, with the host on his side maybe Mike will win an award. Original screenplay? :)
