I wish they would have just passed an offering plate around. That way I could have pretended to drop money into it just like I always did at church.

"We have no idea how important the work we do here really is." What else is new?

"Deborah Person called $35 an 'insignificant' amount" because she is RICH.

"Managing director Deborah Person called $35 an 'insignificant' amount" because she is RICH. I've been told she's SIFF's #1 funder.

Of course the US doesn't except craisins as currency because what the fuck? That shit is nasty.

Say what you will about Almost Live, but never mock the Ballard Driving Academy.

True though about Ballard Driving Academy.

"(To be fair, I did not pay to get into this event, because The Stranger pays my salary in pencils, Craisins, and whatever homoerotic miscellanea rolls off of the boss's desk [losers weepers, Savage!], and the United States does not accept those items as currency at this time.)"

I desperately needed to laugh this hard. Thanks.

There's a film not at SIFF that everyone should definitely check out. The English Surgeon is opening June 19th at the Northwest Film Forum in Seattle. It's a documentary following the Humanitarian efforts of an English Neurosurgeon in the Ukraine. In an area with a lack of equipment, funding, and sanitary conditions, Marsh manages to save lives out of the goodness of his heart. Watching the Moral dilemmas he must face as he deals with mortality is truly eyeopening and speaks volumes about Humanity. This is a definite must see.

One Movie too see that is not in this festival but will be in Seattle around this time is The English Surgeon. This movie is fantastic. It is a documentary following an English surgeon, Henry Marsh, as he makes trips to the Ukraine to perform risky neurosurgery on those in need. Marsh is a quirky lovable character who you learn to love and pity as you witness his constant moral dilemmas. This Film says a lot about humanity and it is a must see. It opens June 19th at The Northwest Film Forum in Seattle.
