She packs up and moves to Ljubljana in hopes of starting her life amongst the hustle and bustle of the big city but it’s not easy. In an attempt to further her new life she answers an ad that leads her down the road of the sex trade.

Damjan Kozole’s thriller A Call Gil (“Slovenka”) had it’s international premiere at Tiff last year and since then has been making the rounds to various other film festivals and critical acclaim. So much so that the thriller has been picked up for Us distribution later this year by Film Movement.

We're not going to discuss network television today, because it's nothing but a bunch of reruns and football, anyway. It's gonna be all cable, all the time up in this bitch. If you don't have cable, then I guess you'll just have to translate a Bible from Greek to Latin or something, like the rest of the monks in the Dark Ages. Nerd. Oh, unless you're a peasant, in which case have fun tanning hides or whatever and dying of plague.

PBS: "Antiques Roadshow." I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that some people clean out their attics, and they find some old shit. Then they take it to a barn or warehouse or whatever, and a couple of dudes look at it and tell them if they should throw it away or not. It will be exactly the same as the other 14,000 episodes of this show,...

Yesterday, on my way home, I stopped at the giant Halloween Adventure store (at 43rd Street, off Eighth Avenue), just six blocks from the Starlog offices. Exiting in New Jersey, I checked out another Halloween Adventure in Edgewater. A few weeks ago, I had visited yet a third retail location (in Lancaster, Pennsylvania). All of this effort—as in previous years’ treks to similar seasonal stores—was to scope out just what’s in (and out) for Halloween.
There’s not that much science fiction. From that galaxy far, far away, I found Luke & Anakin Skywalker costumes as well as Han Solo, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, Troopers (both Clone and Storm) and perennial bestseller Darth Vader. Princess Leia was Awol (no Leia Slave Girl outfit = a national tragedy). Ditto Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian, the Emperor, the Droids (these are apparently Not the Droids you want) and the Ewoks. Not one bloody Ewok!
