Just had this eMail from the good folk at Maddmovies, whose film 'Beating The Bomb' has been out and showing for a few months now, and just thought I should pass it on. There are some Poison Girls tracks used in the soundtrack (and of course the film is very good!)
Dear Beatingthebombers,
Not only did we have some public television outings in the US since our last update. We've also been online now less than 10 months and have received over 100 000 youtube hits. On this occasion we would like to again send a big thank you to everyone who made this film possible. Still no blockbuster, but someone is receiving our electronic peace message in a bottle every day, every hour, in every country in the world.
For stats buffs, here are the top 25 countries and the respective hits:
1.
United States
23,871
2.
United Kingdom
9,876
3.
Canada
7,646

Germany used to be in the somewhere between 15 and 20 till we put German subtitles on. Last month Germany was number two behind the US.
Soooo: More subtitles would be great. Technically it is quite simple. We can send out the English script with the timecodes. All a translator would have to do is write over the text below the timecodes in their language. It's about two days work for one translation. Anyone up for it, or anyone know someone who might be interested? We're particularly keen on Arabic, Japanese, Russian and Spanish.
Peace, love and happiness!
