About Me

“So like, right now for example, the Haitians need to come to America, but some people are all, ‘What about the strain on our resources?’ Well, it’s like when I had this garden party for my father’s birthday, right? I put R.S.V.P. ‘cause it was a sit-down dinner, but some people came that, like, did not R.S.V.P. I was like totally buggin’. I had to haul ass to the kitchen, redistribute the food, & squish in extra place settings. But by the end of the day, it was, like, the more the merrier. And so if the government could just get to the kitchen, rearrange some things, we could certainly party with the Haitians. And in conclusion, may I please remind you that it does not say R.S.V.P. on the Statue of Liberty. Thank you.”

Our Hero enjoys the Alamo City, la rive gauche, literature, current events, & gastronomy. Foreign cinema can bring me to my knees (“I swear, if Bill & Ted had subtitles, you’d fall in love with it”), but I can appreciate a great American film too. My taste in music is pretty much the same. Maybe I just have a thing with foreign accents..? I travel often, and I like to consider myself at least a little tech-savvy. La rive gauche suggests that I lean to the old Parisien left. Yeah, boo on corporate Champs-Élysées! La Défense will never live up to the beauty of the Quartier Latin. So without further ado, bonjour! My name is Andrew, and I want to party with the Haitians.

Did I mention that Our Hero is a disco-dancing, Oscar-Wilde-reading, Streisand-ticket-holding friend of Dorothy? Yup. A cake boy.

So I hope this film wins the Short Subject Documentary category today! I enjoy a good uplifting film, and compared with those other starker documentaries, it deserves some recognition. Kids & the global community are our future, folks!

We MUST talk about Chloe! I thought the original entitled Nathalie... Was much better (and it was French!). But I still liked elements of the remake.
