I went this evening to a Berkeley screening of a new documentary called Fuck. Or make that F*ck, or F**k, or ****, depending on which paper the film is being advertised in (at its opening at the Nuart in LA tomorrow, the marquee will read simply "FOUR-LETTER MOVIE"). It's a funny and fascinating farrago of four-letter facts and fable -- and you can quote me on that. Though full disclosure bids me add that I appear in the movie, along with Jesse Sheilower of the OED, and a supporting cast of talking heads that includes Bill Maher, Billy Connolly, Ice T, Alan Keyes, Alanis Morisette, Chuck D, Hunter S. Thompson, and Pat Boone (whose presence entitles me to claim a Kevin Bacon number of 3). The film will open in LA and New York tomorrow, and over the following weeks in selected cities, including San Francisco, Berkeley, Minneapolis, Chicago, San Diego, Portland, Seattle, Atlanta, and St Louis. See you at the movies!
