Has anyone seen Jazz '34? Apparently it's way out of print but I would love to get a chance to check it out.

Huh. Cheesily sentimental (which frankly is understandable), but I wouldn't call it dumb.

Well, wait, I did just see the sign off. Okay, so she needs something with spellcheck.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 30 November 2006 01:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, the sentiment is obviously genuine, and it's not a nice time to be picking on her. But the dumbness extends to even letting that get to the press without having someone literate read it first. The Independant called it "an indictment of the US educational system," which is perhaps equally dumb.

Hands on a Hard Body could have been really good. Art world, probably not.

I wouldd point out that RA directed everyone from Lilian Gish to L Lohan, but I saw that Peter Travers already did.

“Hands on a Hard Body,” a fictionalized version of S. R. Bindler’s 1997 documentary about a contest at a Texas car dealership. The contest went like this: People placed one hand on a Nissan truck in the dealership’s showroom and the last one left touching the truck, days later, became its owner in a kind of “Survivor”-like endurance contest that is an updating of the Depression-era dance marathon.

I remember that episode of Mad About You, Ira did this contest and used Paul and Jamie as ringers to cheat the contestants. Hijinks ensued.
