We'll be there with fliers for the attendees.
Yes I'll take pictures:)
Question: I've been offered a free ticket. Should I accept it and watch the slam piece er I mean movie?

1. Who is funding this? I mean, that director has been on EVERY show imaginable. |
|
I smell bucks. Who's behind him/this film/this movement?

I would imagine the distributors are promoting it as they do for most films. I don't see anything unusual about this promotion. Am I missing something?

3. Sorry, I should have been more specific. |
|
I meant to ask who is backing this film? I've not seen this much publicity in I don't know when. If it's all about how charter schools are the savior of American education, the money behind that movement is pushing the publicity.
I think you should go and 'take notes' and let us know your thoughts.

6. If you watch it then you will know what you are talking about |

nothing wrong with being educated and informed rather than criticizing something you have never seen.
Education and knowledge should be a goal

7. Hope you saw it and didn't pay. |
|
I can see it for free on Tuesdays but I missed it tonite.
Let us know if there are any surprises.
The trailer looked pretty dull.
At least Triumph of the Will was visually interesting.
