Blog posts in future to be 20% meatier

I had a thought, in celebration of Michel Gondry's new film Be Kind Rewind, would it be a good idea to have a film contest where people have to shoot their own versions of popular or random films totally from their memory?

Just tossing it around. Totally just in our heads at the moment.

We would also like to say we have room in our hearts for as many framing stores in Des Moines as possible. I would frame my own right arm if I could part with it. No matter who you are, you have to be crazy to own your own business in this day and age.

What would it take to get someone who has no idea who Agnes Varda or Bernardo Bertolucci to rent the new criterion editions of his The Last Emperor, or her Criterion boxset? The Last Emperor has the best under the covers giggling since spaceballs. Agnes Varda's Cleo from 9 to 5 is the best movie with 9 and 5 in the title since 9 to 5.

On the online front, the 'store', using that term in the most humble way possible, will have an 'adopt-a-movie' section if anyone wants to give certain orphaned (ie stolen) movies a second chance at life.
