Paul Gi­a­mat­ti and so many more in a movie about the government’s WPA Fed­er­al The­atre Project in the 1930s, the Great De­pres­sion, en­croach­ing fas­cism, (sil­ly but valid at the time) fears of com­mu­nism, im­pend­ing world war, mod­ern art, Fri­da and Diego, the trans­ac­tion­al and com­pro­mis­ing na­ture of com­merce and what it touch­es and it’s a true sto­ry no less. 

Damn this is a great movie. 

It was one the first films I saw at The Crest Sacra­men­to af­ter mov­ing here back in 99. 

I was vo­ra­cious­ly read­ing about the Amer­i­can la­bor strug­gle and Zinn and Chom­sky and the usu­al sus­pects and this was square in my new wheels house at that time. 

And it’s just a re­al­ly good time as well.

William Burg was prob­a­bly there too but very few were so maybe not.

 

Also

this Cal­i­for­nia lad by way of Ne­bras­ka was root­ing for the Chiefs this week­end cuz I knew it would dri­ve the MAGA id­iots nuts —

and

KC dur­ing this time of year is cold and sad and they re­al­ly de­served a party.
 

Tay­Tay Über Alles!
