Everything is connected.
So I go to see Caps rookie camp - by myself - on Sunday and I return and tell my wife (who is Swedish) about the kids from Sweden. We talk about Sweden and the talk leads to discussion about her grandmother.
We then go to the movies and we see the movie The American starring George Clooney. The film opens in Dalarna, Sweden! That is my wife’s family’s hometown. How coincidental and random is that? My wife’s grandmother came to America from Dalarna.
Before the film, there are two movie trailers. One is for Catfish, a film produced by a close friend named Andrew Jarecki. The film starts showing reviewer comments and one is from indieWIRE which I acquired and am majority owner. Who knew? I didn’t.
The second trailer is for the Facebook-based movie and I swear I get total deja vu about AOL and our work on You’ve Got Mail, the film starring Tom Hanks.
Only we liked You’ve Got Mail and by the looks of the trailer my bet is Facebook won’t be loving this new film.
Wonder if Facebook will promote or take ad media dollars regarding this film from the studio? This will be interesting to see.
