“ A scuffle apparently broke out after a Holiday Village screening of Bill Benenson “Dirt! The Movie” this morning at the Sundance Film Festival, giving industry insiders and bloggers something to buzz about on a relatively quiet Wednesday morning. The simmering tension over documentary aesthetics versus issue advocacy apparently stoked the battle. indieWIRE began getting text messages a little while ago about a fight that turned physical today between film rep Jeff “The Dude” Dowd and Variety film critic John Anderson. The incident apparently went down at the restaurant at the Yarrow Hotel after Dowd approached Anderson to talk about the film. The Critic told The Dude that he didn’t like the film, who apparently then tried to make a case for his ecologically-oriented movie. Prodding the writer to talk about the doc, insiders said that Anderson felt besieged by Dowd and, after warning him to back off, The Critic let loose and slugged The Dude twice in the face.

“ Naturally, white people do not get offended by statements directed at white people. In fact, they don’t even have a problem making offensive statements about other white people (ask a white person about “flyover states”). As a rule, white people strongly prefer to get offended on behalf of other people. It is also valuable to know that white people spend a significant portion of their time preparing for the moment when they will be offended. They read magazines, books, and watch documentaries all in hopes that one day they will encounter a person who will say something offensive. When this happens, they can leap into action with quotes, statistics, and historical examples. Once they have finished lecturing another white person about how it’s wrong to use the term “black” instead of “African-American,” they can sit back and relax in the knowledge that they have made a difference.

“”Israel really turned us around on the whole Jew-hating thing,” said Hezbollah leader Sheikh Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, shortly after a U.N.–brokered ceasefire was declared on Aug. 14. “After destroying much of our infrastructure and displacing nearly 1 million civilians, we’ve come to respect Israel as a legitimate power and a beacon of democracy, and not a pack of lying, usurping, hook-nosed dogs.”

From more than two years ago, but obviously relevant…

“ Unlike the baby boomers before us, we “baby busters” of the ’60s never rebelled against the trappings of domesticity represented by our images of the 1950s. Many of us, deep down, yearn for it, having experienced divorce or other sorts of family dislocation in the 1970s. We keep alive a secret dream of “a model of routine and order and organization and competence,” a life “where women kept house, raised kids and kept their eyebrows looking really good,” as the writer Lonnae O’Neal Parker once described it in The Washington Post Magazine.

A couple years ago a Frenchman told me about the restaurant in France that serves wine in baby bottles and I thought it sounded more like the stupid hipster shit one would see in New York and wondered how long before it made it across the pond…about two years, it seems.
