Everybody dies frustrated and sad, and that is beautiful  

The new documentary about They Might Be Giants opens in Chicago today at the Music Box. The film is called Gigantic: A Tale of Two Johns, and it's getting pretty good reviews so far. I'll let you know.

Speaking of documentaries, does anybody know what happened to Alexandra Pelosi's documentary Journeys with George? A Google search took me to the defunct webpage and a few smalltime reviews. I guess it appeared on HBO a couple times, but I haven't seen anything about it since. Was it swept under the rug? And if so, whose interests were served, the Bush admin's or Alexandra's mom's?
