“Google Me” Docu-Film Got Favorable Results

tinypic “Google Me” is a movie about a man who wanted to meet all of the people on Google who shared his name. “Google Me” is a documentary about one man named Jim Killeen’s quest to interview people around the world that share his name. “It all started when I Googled my name,” says Killeen in the movie’s trailer. “My goal in making this movie is to connect with other people. I think there is something in the human condition that unites all of us.” Killeen starred and directed this documentary film. The docu-film gained favorable results from those willing to participate. However, not all of the Jim Killeens in the world were as friendly as the star of the movie. It seems there was a large portion of Jim Killeens who were not willing to be a part of the film for various reasons. Killeen, along with five other men with the same name, recently made an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show. The five Jims got together for a photo shoot and shared life experiences in what was reported to be a pleasant experience for all. “Google Me” is currently available through Netflix and the official “Google Me” T-shirt has been released and can be purchased online. “Google Me” Docu-Film Got Favorable Results is a post from: Daily World Buzz Continue reading

Roger Ebert’s Oprah Interview Makes Us Laugh, Cry [Go Roger, Go Roger]

Every so often, something comes along to put everything in perspective. Today it’s Roger Ebert talking about his life after losing his jaw. His honesty and courage is frankly amazing and we are touched. God, we hate feeling these emotions! First off, the funny stuff. Here Ebert talks about his last words, turning would could be sad into a deft joke. We love how he acts along with his computer voice like he’s actually speaking. Here is a story about him and his father ordering root beer. It is sad and poetic. The story continues, and after his surgery, takes on a meaning that may be a little God-y, but will probably make you cry unless you have no heart left at all. Finally, Ebert’s wife (who many commenters stupidly mistook for Oprah when we posted an excerpt this morning) reads from his journal. This man took an illness that could have been devastating and turned into a triumph. Oh, Roger Ebert, why, why must you make us cry! Just when we want to go on hating the world, you have to get all inspirational. How dare you!
