Trailer for Blue Like Jazz: The Movie.
Really excited by this. Blue Like Jazz by Don Miller is one of a few books over the last few years that have really spoken my language - it’s incredibly honest and humble in the way it’s written.
Blue Like Jazz: the Movie is now nearing release, and is probably the biggest fan funded film to be released so far. After it failed to get enough investment from the film industry, fans of the book stepped in to make up the difference. Doubt it will make cinemas in the UK, but if I can hold of it I’d love to do a showing for The Lab somewhere.
Saw Scott Pilgrim last week and it blew my mind.
Recently watched The Joneses again on DVD (we caught it when it was out at the cinema). Bearing in mind my dissertation was on consumerism, I think this film is a really interesting, timely social commentary on the shallowness of consumerist interaction - and how people are (perhaps) crying out for a deeper connection with one another. It’s also a prophetic warning - asking the question, just how far should you go in order to market your products effectively?
Ok, so the plot is slightly Hollywood, but still worth watching.
