Abbie Hoffman movie starring Janeane Garofalo

[Eric J in MN]

as his wife, Anita Hoffman.

I saw Steal This Movie directed by Robert Greenwald on HBO last night.

It was good.

Anyone else seen it?

3. I stumbled upon this not long ago

in a 3 for £10 offer, but I was feeling broke & wasn't sure given its cheapness. Maybe I should look out for it - I think Janeane's generally great (& happy day, UK TV is repeating Larry Sanders).

5. Oddly enough ...

I just rented this, but I haven't gotten a chance to watch it yet! I thought it looked promising.

6. here's a bit from my interview w/ her on the film:

Q- You’ve always been politically active. Did your experience making ‘Steal This Movie’ a few years ago influence you and change the way you went about activism
A – Robert, the director of “Steal This Movie’, and also a friend of mine, is one of the most interesting people I’ve met. He introduced me to Anita Hoffmann, America Hoffmann, Tom Hayden, and other activists who were inspirational to me. I had been involved with other causes near and dear to my heart, but they inspired me to get even more involved, be more vocal about it, and less fearful of speaking out.
I’m always a little bit reticent because most people don’t respect actors. Most people, for whatever reason, like to make fun of them in the same way they like to watch COPS. They seem to delight in watching E! True Hollywood Stories and Celebrities Uncensored in that same way. For whatever reason, emotionally, it makes people feel better to feel superior to actors. I’m worried that when actors get involved in certain activist causes, they don’t get a fair shake and people don’t listen as readily as they might.
