Very excited to find out who controls the rights to Bob Roberts as it has been a mystery for quite a few years. Yesterday we posted a clip from the end of the film, and a restriction was placed on it from the owner. We pulled the clip and the film from the website with apologies and with the hope that the owner will engage with us on how to get the film distributed on a platform. For those who did not see it, the clip follows the film’s documentarian into the Jefferson Memorial as we hear a news report about how opinion polls of Americans that opposed the first Iraq war have shifted from opposition to support. The final frames of the film pan across Jefferson’s words etched in the stone of the memorial. "I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."
LOOK OUT. Bob Roberts is coming to the big screen TOMORROW Friday, November 6th only at The Actors’ Gang in Culver City. Pay What You Can, one night only. Come on down and enjoy. Visit theactorsgang.com for details.
November’s drop is live on timrobbins.com and it spans forty years! We’ve got a hidden gem from 1968: my first film appearance in an anti-Vietnam War short made by Michael Cuesta called Our Children. See if you can spot me in there. You’ll also be able to see my never-before-seen pilot set in the world of the pharmaceutical industry called Possible Side Effects. Also this month we present The Kiddieland Murders, a short film I made while shooting Howard the Duck, and you’ll get an inside look at the featured film of the month Code 46. Plus new music playing on Robbins Radio. It’s all free and it’s all for you. Come on down.
