What’s That Make Me?

Earlier today I attended the Cinema City International Film Festival where Danny’s film What’s That Make Me was screened.  Danny has caught a lot of heat for creating a film that raises some very important questions about racism as it exists today.  The controversial film was nearly cut from the festival after being made an official selection.  Needless to say, the film made the entire audience question…  and isn’t that the point of film?  All great stories make you question, reevaluating or reaffirming your point of view.

SNL Funny? …What an odd change of pace.

Something interesting has been going on with television lately.  No, not the Emmys – those are never interesting.  It appears that Saturday Night Live has actually grown a pair and gotten funny again.  I had lost all hope and jumped off that bandwagon years ago, but some of the latest political sketches have got me wanting to come back.

I am glad that SNL started taking a point of view again. The fact that people have actually gotten upset by the recent John McCain and Sarah Palin sketches (which were brilliant) only makes it more funny.  I completely agree with Times columnist James Poniewozik, “Comedy doesn’t have to be balanced; it has to be funny.” Those who are upset should let the SNL writers do their job and find something else that is actually worth getting upset about.
