A Morning Spent with Susan Sarandon and Michael Moore

MyNorth.com Attends "Margaret" at the 8th Traverse City Film Festival
...Then Margaret started, and any lingering worries faded away. The movie was instantly absorbing, following the emotional fall out of a young woman who witnesses (really causes) a fatal bus accident. The scenes of raw, alarmingly real conflict were balanced with breathtaking shots of New York City and a gorgeous classical soundtrack. Together the entire theatre followed the protagonist's downward spiral and long crawl to partial redemption.
TCFF Filmmaker Panel: Who's Laughing Now?
Comic relief appeared in the form of seven relatively well known directors that included Michael Moore, Larry Charles, Terry George, Sabina Guzzanti, Bob Byington, Eric Kissack and Josh Koury. The best part? They were all funny. There were very few serious moments, and when there was a brief downbeat comment one of the panelists (most of the time Larry Charles) would crack a snide remark or quick retort and the audience would be brought back to talking about laughter. What I liked so much about the panel were the different perspectives each panelist had on comedy.

Basically the plot minus any sort of interpretation is a romantic comedy about the invention of the vibrator in late Victorian England. Before you click out of the post in disgust let me quickly say that it was not only funny but tastefully done. Why, you might ask, did I decide to watch this movie in a theater? Surrounded by people who are many years older than myself? There are a few reasons.

Bernie at Lars Hockstead Auditorium
Have I mentioned that I love my job? It hardly seems fair that while my friends are waiting on tables, or working at the marina, yesterday afternoon I "had" to go see the movie Bernie for MyNorth.com. It was noon and the sun was at its peak, and I was glad to escape in to the dark and cool Lars Hockstead, where the vintage school furnishings (the auditorium is part of Central Grade School, which was built in the early twenties) were oddly appropriate for the funerary themed Bernie.
