I know I have so many things I research for you all but this one is one I'm really anxious to see come to light. Since I am a owner of the book in which has yet to be finished (sorry Darryl), I love to share newer news on it. The 2009 Sundance Film Festival took place in Utah and I've found bits a pieces of 'Why We Laugh: Black Comedians on Black Comedy' and what it's been doing there thanks to Director Robert Townsend. Here's a interview with him and following will be photos and/or links to even more info.
Director Robert Townsend's interview @ the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. Click the white text as in here they are links to quality info... ok, 86.6% of the time.
Next I leave some photos of Robert while there:
And in closing, here's the festivals page on the 95 minute documentary soon coming to a theater and/or DVD soon, we hope.
Just So You Know
Let me start this by saying if at any time you read a message that compels you to a response, by all means... feel free to continue the learning. You DO NOT have to leave your real name or any name for that matter. When you click "post a comment" or however it reads, you have 3 options. Once on the actual comments page, you'll see prior replies as well. Then there's the 'leave a comment' field. Under that are CAPTCHA and 'choose an identity' (name) options. CAPTCHA is designed to slam SPAM as well as let me know a human is posting vs. a computer generated response. Again, I do not consume beef nor pork so SPAM is not welcomed. Even a photograph of it bothers me. Ok, not really but you get my point and hence you will see the moderation message when you've finalized your post. The identity/name options are as follows:
1) Log-in using (drop down menu for those registered with those services)
2) Nickname and URL - allows you to choose any name and/or link your site to it
3) Anonymous (you can use it but I still have the right to decide if it gets published publicly or not - GOOD FOR ME - YAY!!)
So there ya go. Send me $49.99 if you use these instructions in your own BlogSpot. Cash, cashier's check, money order and Western Union accepted 24/7. :D
