SIZZLE TUESDAY: July 15!

By jjacquet on June 30, 2008.

I spoke with my sometimes co-blogger Randy Olson this morning. He's up to his neck in Sizzle hustling (though he did have time last week to host a dinner with Carl Zimmer, Chris Mooney and friends as Carl was in L.A. promoting his new book). The Sizzle folks have come up with a rather novel idea which will play out here on ScienceBlogs in a couple weeks. They put out an invitation to Science Bloggers to review the movie, got 40 replies, added on a few major environmental bloggers, and now have over 50 bloggers who will all be posting their reviews of the movie on SIZZLE TUESDAY, July 15.

Love the movie or hate it, they're going to produce a very loud voice from the world of science. Which seems like an interesting use of the blogosphere. Stay tuned!

A Sizzling Hypocrisy
Randy Olson left a career as a marine biologist (Titleist!) to become a film maker. His first feature project was Flock of Dodos, a movie I enjoyed. His second film is Sizzle, a movie reviewed by lots of ScienceBloggers a couple weeks ago. The gist: a lot of ScienceBloggers didn't like sizzle.…
Sizzling in LA
[From Sizzle: No caption needed.] On Saturday night, along with Molly and two friends, I attended the opening of Sizzle at the Fairfax theater here in Los Angeles. The movie was airing at Outfest, a gay and lesbian film festival, and the woman introducing the film remarked on its pioneering…
Sizzle: Framing :: Hit-With-A-Brick: Stabbed-With-A-Fork
I've been somewhat decoupled from blogdom in general recently, as I've been busy working on the book and getting ready for FutureBaby. It's also been a useful mental health break, though, as I'm a little less worked up about stupid stuff than I was a few months ago. Every now and then, I catch the…
