For those in or near Los Angeles, this might be an event worth attending.
This alone would make it worthwhile. It's doubtful we East Coasters will get the opportunity to see it.

I know I'm a computer idiot but I don't know how to copy and paste from a pdf file. As far as I know, it can't be done but if you know how, let me know.
Look up at the toolbar for the Adobe Reader. There's an icon there that lets you select text, which you can then copy to the clipboard.
I'm assuming Windows and IE.
I don't know either. I looked around last night to see how it's done. Need specific software maybe? Acrobat Reader?

The Return of the Good GuysBy Judi McLeodWednesday, November 1, 2006
Saturday afternoon at the movies. Watching the silver-badged sheriff booting the bad guys out of Dodge while munching on real-butter popcorn and savoring your once-a-week Tootsie Roll.
Back in those days, the bad guy may as well have worn a shirt emblazoned with the word `Skunk!'. At the Saturday matinee, there was no need for second guessing, no political points, no propaganda and GI Joe was the undisputed hero.
Remember?
If only you could go back to the good days when American bashing would have got you popcorn boxes thrown at the silver screen.
You can go back, thanks to the passion of David Horowitz, President & Founder of the Horowitz Freedom Center, true patriot of The Liberty Film Festival...

A film fest for the right
The Liberty Film Festival features conservative films in the blue heart of Hollywood.

...this weekend Michael Moore followers will have to take a backseat to Michael Medved fans, thanks to the third annual Liberty Film Festival, which opens Friday at the Pacific Design Center. The festival is the brainchild of Jason Apuzzo and Govindini Murty, husband-and-wife film devotees who are on a mission to establish a conservative beachhead of cultural influence in the movie business.Having watched a batch of the films slated to screen this weekend, the festival still seems a few years away from being a real cinematic force, though it features several well-made documentaries, most notably "Suicide Killers," a chilling portrait of imprisoned suicide bombers by French Algerian filmmaker Pierre Rehov.
As it turns out, Apuzzo and Murty's most inspired idea is their Libertas website (www.libertyfilmfestival.com/libertas). Launched in early 2005, the festival spinoff has emerged as a must read for anyone who cares about film and enjoys seeing Hollywood blowhards and hypocrites take a few jabs to the head. I couldn't agree less with most of its politics, but in an era in which most movie sites are dominated by gossips and geeks, Libertas is one of the few websites that actually takes movies and their cultural influence seriously...
...What especially bothers Apuzzo is the way this political stridency has infected the work of filmmakers today. He offers, as a comparison, Gillo Pontecorvo's "The Battle of Algiers," which he admires "because both sides, the French and Algerians, have their say. Too many filmmakers today wear their politics on their sleeves. They want to shock people instead of engage them with good stories..."
