The commentary: Coming on the heels of LA CHIMERA, THE BEAST AND KINDS of KINDNESS, THELMA is a refreshing change of pace. It's “Cute.” I really wanted this to be our next On Golden Pond. I do however, tip my cap to 93 year old Thelma Post, actress June Squibb and stunt double Judy Pascoe for their gumption and longevity. 

JANET PLANET. In rural Western Massachusetts, 11-year-old Lacy spends the summer of 1991 at home, enthralled by her own imagination and the attention of her mother, Janet. As the months pass, three visitors enter their orbit, all captivated by Janet and her spellbinding nature. In her solitary moments, Lacy inhabits an inner world so extraordinarily detailed that it begins to seep into the outside world. Written and Directed by Annie Baker, Starts Zoe Ziegler. And Will Patton, one of my faves, as Wayne. 

THE SPIRIT OF UBUNTU. Archbishop Desmond Tutu explained it this way: “One of the sayings in our country is Ubuntu — the essence of being human. Ubuntu speaks particularly about the fact that you can’t exist as a human being in isolation. It speaks about our interconnectedness … We think of ourselves far too frequently as just individuals, separated from one another, whereas you are connected and what you do affects the whole world. When you do well, it spreads out; it is for the whole of humanity.” One showing only with cast, and local affiliates joining in for discussion. Wednesday July 31 @ 6:45. 

THE GEOFFREY CASTLE SHOW. Billed as an Electronic Violin Virtuoso, Geoffrey Castle makes a rare appearance as a duo, adding drummer Darin Watkins on stage at the Lynwood on Friday night, Aug 2. https://www.geoffreycastle.com/epk.php For a sampling of his jaw-dropping arrangements and aural fireworks. Doors open at 6:30 , Show at 7. 

BAINBRIDGE ISLAND FILM FESTIVAL, SECOND SATURDAY’S, aka, LATE NIGHT AT THE LYNWOOD. BIFF Show-runner, Charles Poekel has a sixth-sense for picking cool, off the grid films. I can guarantee it will be entertaining, and probably not cute. 

JOIN OR DIE. I am not getting paid to say this. I am not a shill. I say this without being coerced, blackmailed or otherwise obliged to do so. Here is my statement, in the form of a promise. “I WILL NOT STAND BY AND WITNESS OUR 248 YEAR EXPERIMENT IN DEMOCRACY END ON MY WATCH.”  Further, I could not stomach the guilt I would surely feel as a result of the November 24 elections won by fascists, white supremacists, power hungry misogynistic, AR totin’ racist, deplorable motherfuckers bent on monetizing the US Presidency at the expense of the poor and aged - and having not done EVERYTHING in my power to keep our ship afloat. If you agree we me - you need to see this documentary. Mark this date: Sat, Aug 17 @ 7pm. Join us or die.

Thanks,
Kevin
