Nick,
That is really cool you're putting on a screening. I've already seen the film on my iPod and am awaiting the DVD release, but if I lived in CNN Country, I'd go to your screening.
I already offered up some of my thoughts on the film on a thread for a news story about the VOD Video On Demand release about a week or two ago, but I'll summarize here again:
Stupid story, amazing stunts, thrilling fights, and Tony Jaa's hair looks gross and greasy.
PS I am sorry site revenues are down, I've clicked a few ads lately. Hope that helps. What is hurting the site? Less hits, or less dollars for advertising in this economy?
