The Stranger Suggests
Film
'Chop Shop' at Northwest Film Forum
Filmmaker Ramin Bahrani's last feature, Man Push Cart, was beautiful but overwhelmingly bleak (the tragic overfeeding of a kitten was involved). But with Chop Shop, Bahrani hits the sweet spot at the intersection of relentless oppression and indomitable human will. Alejandro is a NYC street kid who lands a job at a black-market mechanic in Queens—but his pretty older sister, Isamar, and carefree buddy Carlos don't share his obsessive work ethic. Chop Shop is the best American indie so far this year. (Northwest Film Forum, 1515 12th Ave, 267-5380. 3, 5, 7, and 9 pm, $5–$8.50.)

this is the wrong picture! come on stranger!
Yeah, what up, Ari, Anthony? I'm emailing you real stills right now.
Hmmmmmmmm, every time, and no matter how I parse it, I try to post a couple excerpts from Dan Savage's pro-war piece from October 2002, or link to it, the spam filter blocks it. The Slog spam filter seems to be rejecting the title and quotes from the article and link as spam. How amusing that Dan Savage is afraid to have his own words posted to Slog. Words that are probably the most important that he ever wrote. Or at least words that he used flippantly to address the most important issue he ever wrote about. Words that supported a Bush policy of war crimes and imperialism. Here's a tiny url to Dan's article:
