I'm not political, but I try to pay attention to politics. In a way, we have a responsibility to pay more attention then to get our information from Oprah or David Letterman.
I was invited to show THE LAST EAGLE SCOUT at the theater that is sponsored by Citizens United during CPAC in Washington DC. Everyone who was on the right side of the isle was there. I don't know many of them personally. I know a few pundits who I have become friends with.
Some are wackos (as you can see above). Some I don't totally agree with. I personally have changed my position on many things, going from a full conservative to a right-leaning libertarian. I have become liberal on a number of issues because I simply don't care.
Gay marriage is one of them. I don't care if all of my gay friends want to be married (or at least something that is equal so they can get some of the tax benefits, etc). As long as they don't start forcing religions to marry them. It has to be a give and take on the issue.
Anyway, don't get me started. I do think political correctness has gone out of control, though. Hence, THE LAST EAGLE SCOUT. I've already gotten the first few reviewed of the film and I love the reviews. They are completely baffled of the film. I like to help start discussions.
The people at CPAC loved it. Steph and I saw our friends from Ireland Phelim and Ann. They are a couple who do documentaries, mostly debunking claims made by Al Gore. In fact, there is video on YouTube of Phelim personally challenging Al Gore about his movie and then being escorted out of the building. Love it!
Then, Steph and I took a quick one-day trip down to Richmond, my old stomping grounds, my one of two homes. We saw the home I was born in and the one I lived in when I moved back for a couple of years (where I got divorced in).
I have since come home and did some last re-editing on the film according to the suggestions made by our the showings we have now had. We will put the film to bed and start our limited theater release.
