I am so happy George Lucas has finally brought this patriotic film of the all black Tuskegee Airmen to theaters. The dog fights of the P51 Mustangs kickin' ass and shooting down Hitler's Luftwaffee had me thrilled, cheering, holding my breath, squeezing Abe's hand tightly. The aerial fights are thrilling, the men's camaraderie and closeness are heartwarming, the cinematography of Italy is gorgeous, and America's racism is unhidden and shameful. I don't care if this film is criticized as being formulaic and aged in it's presentation of WWII, it is thrilling, and tells an important story. Don't miss it.
We then went to Bess Bistro with Reed (Sandra Bullock's place). Great atmosphere and good food.
This morning I was an extra at the Paramount in "bumpers" for SXSW. Those tiny shorts before the films. What fun! What a pleasure to see these filmmakers work so collaboratively. And these tiny fill in shorts are FUNNY!
