  • Debunking Gasland, Part II
    Debunking Gasland, Part II Steve Team Lead Three years after the release of Gasland – a film panned by independent observers as “fundamentally dishonest” and a “polemic” – the main challenge for director Josh Fox in releasing Gasland Part II was manifest: Regain the public’s trust by discarding hyperbole and laying out the challenges and opportunities of shale development as they actually exist in the actual world. In short, do everything a documentary filmmaker should do, but which he chose not to do in Gasland. Unfortunately for those who attended the premiere of Gasland Part II this past weekend (we were there), Josh eschewed that path entirely, doubling down on the same old, tired talking points, and playing to his narrow base at the exclusion of all others. The Parker County case? It’s in there. Dimock? Probably receives more focus than anything else. Pavillion and EPA? You bet. And yes, that damned banjo of his makes an appearance or two as well. This isn’t Gasland Part II, folks. It’s Gasland Too. Sure, the sequel has some new cast members and a few new claims. Somehow, Fox discovers that shale is actually worse than he previously thought: Earthquakes. Methane leaks. Well failures. Hurricanes. Heck, viewers were probably waiting for swarms of locusts to appear – fracking locusts, to be sure. And there was plenty of spectacle, too. Yoko Ono was in the audience. So was former Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-N.Y.), the congressman who lent his name to the infamous “FRAC Act” that Josh so desperately wants to become law.

  • Everybody Loves Raymond” Let’S Shmues--Chat
    THANKSGIVING WITH THE CAST OF “EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND” LET’S SHMUES--CHAT The Yiddish word for “turkey” is “indik.” “Dankbar” is the Yiddish word for “thankful.” By MARJORIE GOTTLIEB WOLFE 46 “milyon” turkeys are eaten each Thanksgiving. Turkey consumption has increased 104% since 1970. And 88% of Americans surveyed by the National Turkey Federation eat turkey on this holiday. Marie Barone (Doris Roberts) is devoted to making sure her boys are well-fed. She gets her adult children back with food. It’s like a culinary hostage trade-off. Marie wants Debra, her daughter-in-law, to be a better cook. She calls her “cooking-challenged” and thinks that she should live directly opposite Zabar’s. Marie want the children to have better food. She says, “A mother’s love for her sons is a lot like a dog’s piercing bark: protective, loyal, and impossible to ignore. Many episodes of “Everybody Loves Raymond” dealt with Thanksgiving. Grab a #2 pencil and see if you can identify which of the following story lines is real or fabricated. Good luck. EPISODE 1. Thanksgiving has arrived. Marie is on a “diete.” She has just returned from a residential treatment facility for weight (“vog”) loss at Duke University in North Carolina. It was an expensive (“tayer”) program. The lockdown began: Low-Fat, No-Sugar (“tsuker”), No Taste foods, and 750 calories a day. (That’s the equivalent of a slice of chocolate cake.) One woman in the program sent herself “Candygrams” each week (“vokh”). Doris eats very little (“a bisl”) at the Thanksgiving table, but as she is preparing to leave Debra’s house, she asks for a little leftover turkey and apple (“epl”) chutney.

  • Patron Services Representatives Are the Official Face of the Theatre Development Fund on the TKTS Lines at Times Square, South Street Seaport and Downtown Brooklyn
    REPRESENTATIVE JOB DESCRIPTION Patron Services Representatives are the official face of the Theatre Development Fund on the TKTS lines at Times Square, South Street Seaport and Downtown Brooklyn. They assist patrons at the booths with all of their questions and are primarily charged with discussing the current theatrical offerings with potential ticket buyers. The goal of a Patron Services Representative is not to “push” or “sell” certain shows or seats, but rather to help our patrons to make informed decisions for themselves and get all the information they need about any given show or shows. In a nutshell, Patron Services Representatives are well informed, kind, and passionate theatre professionals working for TDF/TKTS, in order to help our patrons’ understanding of the booths, and improve the overall TKTS experience. Like all TDF’s programming, they are trying to make theatre accessible to as many people as possible by improving the experience of the booths and simplify the sometimes overwhelming world of New York City Theatre. Representatives are expected to: -Work year round at the TKTS Booths, for the most part out-of doors. -Have an excellent working knowledge of New York City in order to best help patrons (especially of the Theatres and their areas) -Be able to discuss with patrons of TKTS the various shows we have on offer. -Offer help to anyone looking for informational assistance at our Booths. -Keep up to date with information on the current season of Broadway and Off-Broadway productions. This may include attending various shows which offer invitations to the team. -Assist in Patron’s understanding of the TKTS Booth’s operations, rules, and function.

  • Gasland Discussion Guide
    www.influencefilmforum.com Gasland Discussion Guide Director: Josh Fox Year: 2010 Time: 107 min You might know this director from: Gasland Part II (2013) The Sky Is Pink (2012) FILM SUMMARY GASLAND is an unflinching investigation into the relatively new, yet highly controversial drilling practice known as “fracking” which is used to extract natural gas from the ground. This road movie follows filmmaker Josh Fox who was offered $100,000 for the natural gas drilling rights to his property on the border of New York and Pennsylvania but turned it down. Instead, he set off on a cross-country journey to see for himself the startling environmental and health risks faced by those who have agreed to sell the drilling rights on their land to the gas industry. In one highly memorable scene, a man who recently allowed fracking on his land is standing in his kitchen. As he lights a match under the running faucet, the water bursts into flames. This crazy occurrence is presumably the result of fracking. Fox also shines a light on the power of big business over government policy in the U.S. by looking at the agenda of former Vice-President Dick Cheney. In 2005, Cheney’s Energy Task Force pushed through a provision to the Clean Water Act and Safe Drinking Water Act that exempted corporations like Halliburton (where Cheney was once CEO) from revealing the chemicals used in fracking. This led to the largest domestic natural gas drilling boom in history. GASLAND has been embraced by those who consider fracking to be a serious health and environmental threat, and it’s sparked a debate in the U.S.
