I saw Charlotte's web in the Theater with my Little Sister, she had already seen it with her class, but wanted to go again with me on Saturday. She has minor ADD and about half way through she said "Let's get out of here and go ice-skating." but I convinced here to stay until the end when I told her that I read the book when I was her age and was really excited to see it in the theater. She said, "This is a book too? I guess I'll let you stay, this time. Next time we see it, we're going ice skating before it's over." Of course she said it loudly and we got a few 'SHHHH's :-) I actually enjoyed it, was sad when Charlotte died int he end, but she does such a good job or explaining why it's her turn to pass on, that it's not traumatic in any real way. If you thought the book was appropriate for your kids, this movie will be too. It follows the orignal quite closely and demonstrates that children's movies don't have to be annoying and fast-paced to get our kids' attention... The first time anyhow!

From Arin and Susan, Four Eyed Monsters Friends, So this is it. Our film is finally getting a real theatrical opening. Staring this Friday, December 1st, our film will be playing several times a day. So we really need everyone's help on this. Post a blog, do an email blast, make some phone calls to people in NYC, do whatever you can to spread the word. If the turn-out is good, we can expand to more cities much easier than before. Also if you're in NYC there are stickers, postcards, and Video Podcast DVDs on a rack in the lobby at Cinema Village for anyone to pick up and freely distribute. And if you want to put in some hours on the ground, reply to this email with your availability and phone number and you can join the team. And of course that means free Four Eyed Monsters shirts and movie tickets. Cinema village is at 22 East 12th Street between 5th Ave. and University Place. Map (http://r.vresp.com/?FourEyedMonsters/6d2c72179a/777399/977e135ce9/9c4f415) So we'll be at most of the evening screenings doing either Q&A's or interactive conversations with the audience about various topics after the screenings. See complete schedule and buy tickets. (http://r.vresp.com/?FourEyedMonsters/c1820591a3/777399/977e135ce9/9c4f415) Friday night there will be an opening night party at 11:00. The location will be announced at the screenings. As always, we'll be doing a live video chat into the party so find us on AIM: foureyedmonsters Some other really good news - we just found out that we've been nominated for two Spirit Awards. The ceremony will be February 24th, and we plan to make it to LA for that. The winner of the award will be decided by voting members of Film Independent, so if anyone is a member, please vote, and if you're not, you can vote if you become a Film Independent member before December 15th which also gives you free access to seeing all of the nominated films.
