So I got this email today from Democrats.com, and its an invitation to join a DVD club called Ironweed Film Club. They're apparently a progressive DVD club that has "a solution for progressives looking for quality, independent films...". Now, I'm all for progressive thought and all, but I don't really know if I should join this or not. Check out the rest of the email.:
Or Wetback, the ! touching award-winner that follows two friends who leave Nicaragua to find their fortune and experience the untold story of American immigration as they face the vigilante Minutemen on the Arizona border.
Ironweed scours the world's best festivals and critics' circles to promote the "underdog films" that audiences love but the major Hollywood studios avoid. With your support, we can push these films - these powerful weeds that are so often ignored - into mainstream distribution. And Ironweed gives you the chance to join a local film club, or, start your own.
We hope you'll become an Ironweed charter subscriber and help make the studios stand up and take notice.
Together we can change the face of media in America. Anyone ever heard of these movies? Are they decent?
At first glance, this seems like the perfect club for me; an independent dvd club geared toward liberals like me. But, I don't want to pay my fee and then get a bunch of crap.
Non-liberals, do me a favor and don't give me a bunch of shit about being a liberal, ok? I already know I'm a pinko commie heathen. I'm looking for some helpful advice here.
Power Trip, the tragicomic film that follows an American company that buys the energy system in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia and sends two bungling Americans to make the Georgians pay for power.
