Green: FUEL - Change Your Fuel, Change The World



























By Sunday both of our wonderful communities were abuzz with info about Josh Tickell's film FUEL. Farilla contacted Rebecca Harrell for free tix to Sunday evening's screening in Santa Monica. It felt really good to support such a positive film about solutions to America's oil addiction.

Synopsis:
FUEL is an insightful portrait of America’s addiction to oil and an uplifting testament to the immediacy of new energy solutions. Director, Josh Tickell, a young activist, shuttles us on a whirlwind journey to track the rising domination of the petrochemical industry—from Rockefeller’s strategy to halt Ford’s first ethanol cars to Vice President Cheney's petrochemical company sponsored energy legislation — and reveals a gamut of available solutions to "repower America" —from vertical farms that occupy skyscrapers to algae facilities that turn wastewater into fuel. Tickell and a surprising array of environmentalists, policy makers, and entertainment notables take us through America’s complicated, often ignominious energy past and illuminate a hopeful, achievable future, where decentralized, sustainable living is not only possible, it’s imperative.




FUEL screenings have been extended another week in Santa Monica due to grassroots efforts. w00t!!! And even more screenings will be opening across the country in the next few days. The film needs 2,000 viewers here in LA in order to get national distribution. Please support this documentary by watching it and helping to get the word out.

For FREE tickets to see FUEL
this Friday (2/20) @ 7pm in Los Angeles/Santa Monica send and email entitled "ABUNDANCE 2" to rebecca@thefuelfilm.com.

Change Your Fuel, Change The World!

Art: Coraline - Handmade Craftiness In 3D



I have a new appreciation for cinema-filled rainy day weekends. Farilla took me to see Coraline in 3D on Saturday evening....absolutely visually stunning! Despite feeling like there were a couple of weak spots in the story-line this didn't in anyway detract from my overall enjoyment of the film. I was too busy studying all of the handmade delighfulness bursting from every scene! Ahhh, I LOVE me some stop motion!

And I'm especially loving all of the crafty creativeness inspired by this film. Thanks to Tikabelle you can get the knitting pattern for your very own Coraline gloves here AND her star spangled sweater here.

Humor: Robert Downey Jr. Cured by BK Whopper














From Ecorazzi.com:

"Downey recently told
Empire
magazine that it was Burger King that helped him kick his terrible drug addiction back in 2003. Downey recalls driving with “tons of f***ing dope” in his car when he stopped at Burger King for a burger, but the food made him feel so bad he thought he had overdosed. He said: “I have to thank Burger King. It was such a disgusting burger I ordered. I had that, and this big soda, and I thought something really bad was going to happen.” Robert immediately threw all his drugs into the sea and decided to turn his life around."

Okay, this is too funny!!! There's a scene in Iron Man where Downey's character, Tony Stark, asks for a burger after being held captive in the Middle East. I'll give you one guess where the burger was from. How you like R.D. Jr. now, BK? I'll bet that the King of Burgers won't be doing product placement deals on future Downey movies any time soon.

Art: SXSW Premieres Beautiful Losers

I wish I was in Austin this weekend if only to see this...
































From Juxtapoz:

"Produced by Sidetrack FilmsBeautiful Losers is an intimate and moving assessment of underappreciated yet wildly influential outcasts such as Shepard Fairey, Margaret Kilgallen, Mike Mills, Barry McGee, Jo Jackson, Chris Johanson, Harmony Korine, Stephen Powers, Geoff McFetridge, and Ed Templeton. Informed by their individual experiences and the generation’s “Do It Yourself” culture, these artists left an indelible mark on the worlds of fashion, music, literature, film and ironically, sports. The story of Beautiful Losers is a retrospective celebration of their contribution to artistic independence.

The world premiere of Beautiful Losers will screen on March 9 at the Paramount Theatre at 1:15pm at SXSW."
