Science, Sex and The Ladies at Alternet and Salon.com!

I'm not making excuses (I actually am making excuses), but I haven't posted the last couple days because I got home from my 3 months of day-job science business in Brazil on Saturday (no more Brazilian breakfast buffets and living in a hotel, no!!!), and I had to pack up and move out of my house beginning immediately (movin' closer into the city!).


It's been a little insane the last couple days, and on top of all that, SSL got a kick-ass article at Alternet Saturday morning, and then it got picked up by Salon on Monday. Jill Hamilton wrote the article - you might know her from a blog called In Bed With Married Women. It's funny as shit. I would check it out if I were you. I can't thank her enough for seeing this crazy as doc, and wanting to write about on some established, motha fuckin' sites. I mean Salon and Alternet are kinda bigtime for this mom n' pops deal we got goin on here. It upped our Vimeo and IndieFlix views, well, a lot, and we got tons of emails about small screenings, and other fun shit. Point is, all that stuff made having to move in weather far colder than I am now accustomed, after almost no sleep during a 20 our travel period much, much more exciting that it would have been. But, seriously, my seat would not go back even slightly on the 8 hour flight from Sau Paulo to Miami, and that sucked. I never have trouble sleeping on planes...or in classes...or in cars...or standing up, but I couldn't sleep at all, and there were only like 6 movies available - I had only not seen Taken 3.

That was my Brazilian bathroom, complete with Portuguese flashcards on the mirror.  

There was some good comment threads on the Alternet one. I always have to get my hands in there. I can't have random nay-saying comments hanging out there that can easily be answered and talked about civilly. So, that took up some time too, but it was fun. I'll do a post on those comments soon. Someone told me they wished I'd just shut up - she was a bit fighty, that one. Now, that would normally make my stomach turn into knots, but it doesn't anymore. I think I've grown, my friends. I just try to be nice and honest, and usually people are back, but when they're not, no biggie. I leaned that I've gained that ability this weekend, so that's another good thing to have come of all this.

Back to work...Go check out the Alternet and the Salon posts. It'll be fun.

Kate's Take Gave SSL a 2014 Honorable Mention!

Hello! It seems Science, Sex and the Ladies got a shout out on the blog Kate's Take as an Honorable mention for their top 5 Best Films of 2014! It's a podcast where Kate Chaplin, an Indie Indy producer, writer, and director, "chooses a film that has shaped her life and dissects it to find meaning and universality in that film's message." Kate was at our Indianapolis premiere, and by golly, she liked it! She found it to be super science-y and informational, but hysterically funny too. She even pointed out that although SSL gets into pretty uncomfortable detail, it does it in an approachable and funny "fluffy bunny" kind of way so it really felt like it was educational and fine. She (thank you, Kate) hopes it explodes in a great way this year. We're with you on that :)

This particular episode was a a special one and a bit different given that it was about top movies instead of about 1 particular movie...and let me comment on that a sec. I actually really like this podcast's normal platform of talking about 1 particular movie in a long form podcast. I think that's just not a common thing. It's actually a fairly new monthly podcast, and I had listened to, what for some reason I didn't realize was, the first episode about the 1998 Robin Williams and Cuba Gooding Jr. movie, What Dreams May Come. I like the interaction between Kate and her co-host Wil, but what I really like is more in depth discussion about movies. It is very personal, but movies are very personal, and very much dependent on the circumstances of the time/culture and person watching. That movie actually had a somewhat depthy-ish affect on me too - not quite in the same way as Kate, but it was was really fun and interesting to hear those two talk about it. Obviously, this isn't for those who want to not get any spoilers, but it is for people who really like to talk about movies - what they mean, how they look, how they and their topic fit into the scape of other films.

Anyway, my point is, Kate's Take is a good, thoughtful listen for people who like movies.Check it out...I mean they liked SSL, they must be high quality, right? :)
