As of the end of April, the IMDB moviemeter
shows Being Jon Stewart rising in popularity! Up thirty-six percent in just one week. If the stock market did
that, the recession would be over.
NEWS ALERT:
The rise of the movie continued in the first week of May. After a one week gain of 36 percent to end April. Being Jon
Stewart's popularlity jumped ANOTHER 35 percent in the first week of May.
The
funny thing is that Jon Stewart, the real person, is suffering a decline in popularity, The starmeter shows him down
four percent in a single week! At that pace, he would have negative popularity right around the time of this year's
Emmy Awards. Instead of winning another Emmy, he would have to start giving them back. NEWS ALERT: The slide for Stewart himself continued in May. The luster of his star lost ANOTHER
seven percent in the first week of May. We don't know what
to make of this. It validates our production decision to have NO association or affiliation with Jon Stewart while making
this movie. We have no desire to go down with him.
THE MOVIE IS (ALMOST) COMPLETE. CHECK BACK HERE FOR NEWS ABOUT SCREENINGS and HOW YOU CAN SEE
IT ON ARLINGTON NDEPENDENT MEDIA .
TAGLINE It's only a comedy if you laugh.
STORYLINE Oscar Leibowitz is having a bad day,
but every day seems to be a bad day. He is also a big fan of TV's top funnyman, but Oscar is not the only one thinking
too much about Jon Stewart. A pseudo-anarchist cell is out to “Stop the Lies!” and bring down the television personality.
Oscar gets inside the head of his idol, but only to bring on misadventure after misadventure. The pseudo-anarchists fail to
topple Stewart, but will Oscar the big Stewart fan be the funnyman’s undoing?
