Seriously, I can't see enough. Once I saw "Hoop Dreams" in 1994, I was hooked, and I've spent the years since catching up on the greats  - "Hearts and Minds," "Grey Gardens," "Gates of Heaven," etc. - and seeing all the new ones. It's why I love my job at Rocky Mountain PBS and why I love coordinating our ITVS Community Cinema screenings. It is extra exciting to me, then, to see two local filmmakers enjoy serious success with their ambitious, thoughtful documentaries. http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/196/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/196/rss Tue, 18 Mar 08 12:58:00 -0700 Civic pride, caucus blues & a beautiful clean slate Well, so much for objectivity. For once in my life, I'm decidedly keen on a candidate - made up my mind in the last six weeks - but I can't caucus tonight because I'm registered as an independent. The rule is that you must be registered with a party by December 5, 2007, to participate in a caucus. That's no problem for party-line voters, but for independents, it's a pickle. I can see how frustrating this would be for third party candidates and their supporters. http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/176/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/176/rss Tue, 05 Feb 08 05:32:00 -0700 What's your take on Nader? One of my friends refuses to attend our screening of the Ralph Nader profile "An Unreasonable Man" this week (Wednesday, 11/28, 7 p.m. - free), because she said she'll just get too angry. She's a Democrat and can't forgive Nader for his so-called spoiler role in the 2000 election. http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/144/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/144/rss Tue, 27 Nov 07 10:37:00 -0700 Gov.
