I’ve been radio silence for a while, so in a gesture of cyber-pennance, here’s a list of worthy things to check out around los Internets:
Smart Girls at the Party — a newly-launched Web series featuring Amy Poehler, Meredith Walker and Amy Miles doing a smorgasbord of awesome things (the primary being interviewing young girls who are “changing the world by being themselves.” Which sounds like a load of crap until you realize it’s so true).
I’m Just Sayin — an online gabfest doubling as a satire within a satire within a satire within…oh crap, I lost count.
Also, if you’re not yet religiously glued to Hulu.com, consider this your life-changing moment. And here’s even more gifts: They have The Thing on right now. The Buddha of all creature movies, streamed right to your laptop. Who says there’s nothing to be joyous about in the world these days?
And this movie isn’t online (yet) and if you’re not near Tribeca Cinemas you don’t have much of a chance of seeing it right now. But it’s about human trafficking, it has outstanding musical performances, and the issues it brings to light couldn’t be more important. As I’ve said before, in the midst of an economic meltdown, there’s nothing better than a dose of perspective to reignite reality. Plus the Cornel West soliloquy on funk is worth the price of admission alone.
