Let me help get everyone back on track: my nephew Trevor Paglen is 
cinematographer for the Oscar-nominated Citizenfour (The Laura Poitras 
documentary about Edward Snowden and NSA spying.

So, I for one, have a tenuous horse in the race.

Another nephew, Jack Paglen was Screenwriter for Transcendence last year, which 
won an Oscar (though not for him!) but it's still a nice point on the c.v. <g>

We no longer have a movie theater in downtown Scranton -- the local multiplex 
closed Dec 31 as they didn’t want to invest in digital projectors. As a result, 
it's been awhile since we went to the movies anyway.

Cheers,
Jim
