Liberty Movies

[Jim Johnson]

I've got a stomach thing going on. I'm taking some Pepto and I suspect that will fix it. If not, I'm probably not going to want to take a long drive tonight. What time do you guys like to get started? Should I pick up something from Redbox? Maybe Big Hero 6? Do you have a blu-ray player?

19:30
I don't know what Redbox is.
...or who Big Hero 6 is.
....or Blu-ray.

Well, crap. I'm back to not being able to make it. I forgot I'm picking up Neal at the airport.

[Jim Johnson]

Neal is the reason Dale can't have nice things.

The Castle is great, easily the funnest one on the list.

they have remastered or something similar to "The Castle" which is cool .... but they must have lost the rights to one song .... so one of the scenes is not quite as good, but there are some minutes added.

Imminent Threat
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2731436/

James Cromwell presents a feature documentary on the War on terror's impact on civil liberties and the strange coalition it may create between the progressive left and libertarian right on these issues.

Well done documentary.

1971
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3478510/

The story of a notorious 1971 activist burglary of an FBI office that lead to the Bureau's numerous abuses against dissidents being exposed.

Good documentary that has interviews with the people who did it, who now can be public about their participation. Information revealed in the documents they made public led to the COINTELPRO becoming known.

A great libertarian outreach tool.
