Hi Everyone, Leo here, content producer for the Stupid websites and campaign strategist for Not Stupid. I'll be pitching in to some of these mailing list messages from now until Copenhagen, to keep you up to speed on the campaigny side of things at Stupid Towers, as well as flagging up major developments in the wider world of climate science and politics.

Stern vs Monbiot, plus further Ed-butting‏

Location | Mood | Date 28th May 2009
Evening all,  Someone pointed out that our Indie Screenings launch on Friday, with a total of 71 simultaneous UK screenings, was actually bigger than the much-hyped People's Premiere in March, which came in at a piddling 62 screens. Just don't tell the Guinness Book of Records, whose certificate finally arrived in the post yesterday (see attached - thanks again to Betty and Doro who paid for us to enter). 

Tonight: Indie launch & live webcast with Monbiot, Stern & Maldives‏

Morning from California, We quietly opened up our Indie Screenings website a couple of days ago and, before we knew it, had 57 screenings booked. Unbelievable. Including 12 campaign groups, 11 holy faith groups, 9 sporty sports groups, 7 trade unions, 6 schools-a-schooling, 5 businesses, 4 individuals, 2 student unions, 1 local council and a partridge in a pear tree

Friends in high places?‏

Revolutionising film distribution since 2009

Location | Mood | Date 25th Apr 2009
Morning,  After five whole weeks, the Odeon West End has finally decided to stop screening Stupid. Bloody brilliant to get five consecutive weeks, but the extended run has slightly held us up.  We weren't allowed to announce competing plans while the movie was in the cinema - hence all the "please hang on" replies to all your emails asking when you can screen it. Anyhow, now we've finally been dropped, we can move on to... 

Global politics & local jobs

Hello from Stupid Towers, our new office with windows which open and space aplenty for cat-swinging, Not that we're going to have all this legroom for long: two more adverts for two more people below. Please pass them on to anyone you know who doesn't want to see their family or friends for the rest of the year. 

Permanently Stupid

Bonjour de Paris,  This week's most thrilling email: "I am a curator at the BFI [British Film Institute] National Film Archive and we are very keen to acquire a copy of The Age of Stupid for permanent preservation in the archive... The importance of the film's issues led to an instant selection decision."  - Pause for enormity to sink in -
