Nooo…I’m not talking about this year’s presidential or Senate elections. This is waaaaay more important than those - and you won’t have to contend with long lines at the polls. I’m talking about you having the chance to influence one of Atlanta’s most popular outdoor summer festivals….Screen on the Green.

…well, kinda.

I’m volunteering with my job to answer phones and take pledges for Georgia Public Broadcasting - the local PBS station - from 8p to 11p tonight. So tune in, and look for me.

 Better yet, call in and make a pledge!

Now, usually there’s some pretty good programming on GPB, but as luck would have it, I think they’re showing the 2 crappiest pieces of edutainment they could find this evening. Namely:

The Osmond’s (as in Donny and Marie) 50th Anniversary

and

Celtic Thunder

(insert slack-jawed, incredulous stare here).

If you would like more information about GPB, tonight’s program or pledge information, please go to http://www.gpb.org/.

Lauded among independent and avant-garde theater buffs as one of the great American films of all time, Killer of Sheep is finally being released on the small screen. Turner Classic Movies will air the film and 4 other shorts from director Charles Burnett on MLK day - Monday, Jan. 21 - at 8pm.

I’ve never seen the movie, but I’ve heard great things, and the clip below has me waiting with bated breath. As a matter of fact, I’m going to go set my DVR right now ;-).

cheers,

Will the sound of one more Christmas carol drive you to the brink of screaming madness?
Treacly holiday sentimentality plucking at your last nerve?
Contemplating drowning yourself in a vat of egg nog?

Never fear, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is here!
