Curious, George: Title of an Idependent Documentary Movie A few years ago, my local Rhode Island PBS ran a documentary film about automobile parking issues, that was quite funny. I wrote down the title, but I lost the notebook in which it was written. In the extended description I have written about what I remember about the movie. Any movie monkeys (or PBS monkeys) have any information about the movie, title or where I might find a copy of it? Or maybe just another place to search? more inside

Benicio Del Turro Hero! It's nice to see the stars livin' extraordinary lives(again), instead of broken down ruts n' scandles. The leading men, should be heros, and the women objects of desire. Bravo!

Plight of the Banañeros : Nemagon (Dibromo-3-Chloropropane), was a nasty chemical produced by several companies in the U.S. for fumigating crops affected by nematodes. First introduced in 1954, it wasn't until 1985 that it's use was "fully-banned," and mid-90's that usage ceased all together. To this day, individuals exposed to it - and their offspring - suffer the many serious side-effects. more inside
