What The #$&! Do We Know!?

[Logic]

Looks pretty cool, I think I might see it.

[Nay]

It does look interesting!  Thanks for the heads up LogoRat []

Nay

[Nagual]

Ah, US only...  I hope they release it on DVD!

[Adkha]

seems really COOOOL...to bad its only available in the US!!

Any idea how I can get one in The Netherlands ??

[álainn dorcha]

DVD will come out late this year. []

[Nyk]

I went and saw this movie/documentary a couple nights
ago and feel compelled to give it a hearty recommendation.
Unless a person doesn´t watch anything, this film is a must see.

It is currently spreading thru the Pacific NW (Washington and Oregon)
and will soon be playing in Alaska, Arizona and Los Angeles. This is
basically spreading by word of mouth, so if you want to see it in
a theatre (before it retires to DVD) then you may want to consider
petitioning your local theaters and film festivals into considering it.
My mate said that this is the best movie I have ever taken her to see!


=======================================
A passive way of finding out when it may arrive in your vicinity
would be to sign up for the movie's mailing list -

http://www.whatthebleep.biz/mailinglist/


More actively -

From their FAQ page [http://www.whatthebleep.biz/faq/] -

Q: Will the movie be in my local theater?
A: Call your local theater to find out if it will be showing it.
If not, tell them you want it to play there. The most effective
method to get film locally is to call your local theatres and
tell them that you want to see THIS film in THEIR theatre.
This really works!


(In other words, harass them into it) I knew about this film in
advance because I know some of the people behind it, but I never
ever expected it would play in my particular little town, so I just
brushed the whole thing off and said that I'll just wait for the DVD.
Then, last week I was driving by our local artsy-fartsy cinema and
casually asked my mate, "what's that blue poster?". We stopped and
she said, "it's that WHAT THE BLEEP film!". Who'd have thunk?!
And we are glad we went to see it in the theatre...good for the
brain. Big screen, big impressions.

Not only that, but I really did not expect to like the damn thing.
Sure, it has plenty of woo-woo in it, and the scientifically
fossilized will tear it to shreds, but there is a shamanism at work
in this production that operates on several different levels.
And that is good for the soul.

I have associates in Denmark and New Zealand and they are all
petitioning theatres and film festivals in their region to
consider adding this to their venue.

This is, of course, "not for everyone", but then what is?

I would like to add that we have now seen it twice,
and that it is our recommendation to not wait for
the DVD, but to see it in the theater. It is worth it.

[Nick]

Thanks for the information and the thread LogoRat [] The website, and the comments, have made me want to see this film. When it plays nearby, I'll definitely go to view it.

Nice one... it would be interesting if and when it hits the UK!

[beavis]

finally the make a good movie and its not available in my area. only 5 states in usa, and most of the theaters there dont have it listed.

[beavis]

Its also shown in TEXAS sometime soon. I told a friend about it, and they got 60 people to request it at a theater (only 50 were needed). Only took him about an hour. PM me and i'll get the info for u.

[thelou]

I have bought tickets for Thursday.  It is over a two hour drive one way from where I live.  Will post about it after I have seen it.

[thelou]

.....how far down the rabbit hole do you want to go?

All the way girl, all the way.

Much to my chagrin, and disappointment I cannot make the post I promised.  I got called into work today on my day off.[!][!][}:)]

I WANT TO SEE THAT MOVIE!!!!!!!!

AAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH[}:)]

[Cezyl]

Thank you for sharing LogoRat!!!

[Avalon]

I am excited to see it too.  Anyone live in or near the Kansas City area who wants to petition a movie theater to see it?  I know of no one who would be as interested in this as I am.

[Nyk]

See it thrice, as did we. It isn't a movie, it is a ride.

[HooVooLoo]

Poopy, I want to see this, but it is nowhere near NYC yet.  

[Kodemaster]

Too bad they won't play it in Rome, NY, the most culturally devoid city (or large town, as I would say) on Earth.

[beavis]

Check the website again. Its showing in a lot more theaters. Theres one 30 miles from me.

[Nagual]

Not before February/March 2005 for Europe apparently...
So, where are the reviews from people who saw it...?

[kiauma]

I am hopeful I will see it this weekend.  I will let you know...  []

The Bleep film goes national as of this Friday, September 10th.
Then things should really get interesting.

Here is some info from the filmmakers that I found posted
in some other forum:

Comments from the filmmakers.....


THE WAVE IS ABOUT TO BREAK...

It started nearly nine months ago – our march on the movie
theaters of America. Convincing them that there was an
audience for thoughtful, entertaining, transformative films.
For What the BLEEP Do wE (k)now!?".


THE WAVE STARTED AS AN EARTHQUAKE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
OCEAN...

After a month we bagged our first theater, in little Yelm,
Washington. After numerous sell-outs (i.e. proven receipts
($$$)) we bagged the Bagdad theater in Portland. Again
numerous sell-outs (and an 18 week run) and we moved, this
time to a couple of theaters in Arizona, then a few more in
Oregon. Up to Seattle, then down to L.A. Same story over and
over – sell-outs, 12 week runs and "Oh my God where are
these people coming from!?!?"


A TSUNAMI STARTS AS A ONE INCH SWELL IN THE OCEAN.

We hit the West Coast and from there moved East. Setting
theater records in Boulder and Denver. Along the way picking
up a National Distributor, who realized that something was
going on. What the BLEEP it was – who's to say.


AND IN A WEEK, SEPTEMBER 10TH, THAT WAVE COMES CRASHING
DOWN.

On the East Coast, The Great Lakes, the Mississippi. And all
the rivers and lakes in between.

Friday September 10 the full nationwide rollout begins: New
York, Boston, Washington DC, Chicago, Minneapolis, Dallas,
Houston, Austin, Atlanta, Orlando. Followed the next week by
60 more, then 60 more...

( Check out our new snazzy Theater-finder:
http://whatthebleep.com/showtimes/ )


WHERE ARE THESE PEOPLE COMING FROM?

We've been hearing about the religious right for decades. Is
there a Metaphysical Left? A spiritual, new-thought,
body/mind/spirit Left!? In our march we have picked up a
host of friends and fellow travelers and seekers. We have
learned of a multitude of organizations, churches,
therapies, healing modalities and study groups who have seen
our film and said "this is what we're all about, this is
what we study and teach".

People have come out of their Metaphysical Closets. Glorious
Kings and Queens, Dukes and Duchesses, Princes, Priestesses,
Healers, Teachers and Students. Resulting in sell-outs,
hold-overs and a puzzled entertainment industry.


OUR TIME IS NOW.

IF you are tired of the mindless dumbed-down drivel coming
out of the Entertainment Industry. (And by the way – that
includes the Media, "News", TV, etc...) And are tired of the
reactionary right garnering the cultural focus, setting
agendas, and preempting the concept of the Divine, well, its
Showtime!

Our march has been hugely successful because of word-of-
mouth. People telling others. Now we must execute that on a
national scale.

So please, if you are so inspired, please tell everyone
that we're coming to a theater near them. Phone, E-mail,
FAX, Dreamtime. (Yes everyone (that even includes
relatives!) because we have found you can never tell who's
going to resonate with the information.)

Get the word out, for by the end of September we will be
within 10 miles of over 90% of the population.


AND THEN?

Well, it's a grand experiment we're all involved in here.
The March has been a journey into Chaos, Uncertainty and the
Unknown. What will happen when 100 million monkeys start
thinking and living their lives in a different way? What
will Our World be like, when the wave breaks?


AND...

to all of you – thank you for joining us on this journey.

Will, Betsy & Mark – filmmakers "What the $#@% Do We Know!?"

three...
two...

IGNITION


Friday the 10th of September!

[Palehorse]

Hah... I've been wanting to see this since I started reading about it here, and tonight I found out I can get extra credit for it.

I love being a religion major.  []

[kiauma]

You find the durndest people on this site!  Welcome, Will, Betsy & Mark! [8D]

I did not get to see it this weekend.  [V]   Maybe next weekend. []
