(Aida) Henson’s 11
A trailer spoof on Ocean’s 11 starring the Muppets. Hmm, I’m not sure I buy Fonzie as Brad Pitt but I suppose whoever made this had limited casting choices to choose from.

Another spoof of the unintentionally hilarious gay marriage storm <http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/gay-marriage-causes-storms> that involves Lance Bass, Alicia Silverstone and a big honking umbrella to protect us from the threatening gay skies. There is a storm being caused by gay marriage and we are all in serious trouble.

SLEEP DEALER Screening
FREE! Director Alex Rivera in person
Tues, May 5 @ 7:30pm
James Bridges Theater (Melnitz 1409)  <http://www.tft.ucla.edu/facilities/james-bridges-theater/>
Melnitz Movies, the Chicano Studies Research Center, and the Latin American Institute are pleased to present Alex Rivera’s visionary film SLEEP DEALER. In the not-too-distant future, Memo Cruz grows tired of his life in a poor village, where a private company controls the water supply. He heads to Tijuana, where migrant labor has become virtual. Fitted with nodes that connect their central nervous system to a supercomputer, laborers plug in and operate equipment on the other side of the border. Winner of the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, Rivera’s impressive debut is a unique brand of political science fiction.
