What was your favorite MountainFilm?

How come we never see any of these great films on TV?

Considered the complete sheet and number of reruns that are on most of the time, I would think they would win their time slots handily.

Unfortunately they don't have "commercial" appeal. However I have seen one or two on the Sundance channel. That would be a pay channel.

Why don't they have commercial appeal?

IMO since people already pay 2-3x a movie ticket to see them in bunches, they would watch them for free on TV.

I mean that they don't have mass appeal. Did you notice the absence of Nascar apparel and foam fingers Friday and Saturday night?

"Genghis Blues" featured the Tuvan throat singer, Kongar-Ol Ondar, and the late Paul Pena of San Francisco.

Thank you! I forgot about that one! So good. So good. And thanks for the corrections, my head is not in the game these days. Amazon/Nile, I just remember it was a big river far away that I never ever want to see BobbyJ surf!
My vote is to bring Bobo back for another festival. He's a crowd pleaser for sure.

I think they were referring to the movie, but based on the siggy line I'd say that Mr. Bot is just trying to fool us into believing that he's something other than a couple lines of code.
