New York Underground Film Festival
The New York Underground Film Festival was an annual event that occurred each March at Anthology Film Archives in New York City from 1994 through 2008 founded by filmmakers Todd Phillips ('' Road Trip'', '' Old School'') and Andrew Gurland. After Phillips and Gurland turned the festival over to programmer Ed Halter, it became noted for documentary and experimental film programming, and occasionally courted controversy, particularly in its early years. Some of these have included: premiering the North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) documentary, '' Chicken Hawk: Men Who Love Boys'', in 1994; premiering a film in 1995 that accused Quentin Tarantino of plagiarism; being protested by Reverend Fred Phelps in 2002 (apparently for not choosing to show a film about Phelps); and premiering a theatrical version of Brad Neely's Harry Potter parody ''Wizard People, Dear Reader'', which eventually led to action by Warner Brothers to suppress future theatrical performances of the wo ...

2004 In New York City
4 (four) is a number, numeral and digit. It is the natural number following 3 and preceding 5. It is the smallest semiprime and composite number, and is considered unlucky in many East Asian cultures. In mathematics Four is the smallest composite number, its proper divisors being and . Four is the sum and product of two with itself: 2 + 2 = 4 = 2 x 2, the only number b such that a + a = b = a x a, which also makes four the smallest squared prime number p^. In Knuth's up-arrow notation, , and so forth, for any number of up arrows. By consequence, four is the only square one more than a prime number, specifically three. The sum of the first four prime numbers two + three + five + seven is the only sum of four consecutive prime numbers that yields an odd prime number, seventeen, which is the fourth super-prime. Four lies between the first proper pair of twin primes, three and five, which are the first two Fermat primes, like seventeen, which is the third. On the other hand, t ...

Wizard People, Dear Reader
''Wizard People, Dear Reader'', released in 2004, is an unauthorized alternative soundtrack to ''Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone'', written by Brad Neely, a comic book artist from Fort Smith, Arkansas. ''Wizard People, Dear Reader'' is a narrative retelling of the lives of the characters of ''The Sorcerer's Stone'' and the world in which they live. Presented in the form of a thirty-five chapter audiobook, this soundtrack is intended to replace the film's audio track. Origins Brad Neely, in an interview with ''Chief'' magazine, described the beginning of the idea as follows: Anyway, we were at a bar and were getting a good laugh at a guy who was playing pool all by himself while wearing a hoody over his hat, sunglasses under that and headphones on the outside of all of it. So we started riffing on "What could he possibly be listening to?". Someone who I don't think was me said that he was listening to a book on tape of ''Harry Potter''. And out came the ''Wizard People'' nar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
