I know I'm going to get flamed for posting this b/c people think I'm anti-CT as it is. But growing up in Bristol I thought this was pretty interesting. http://bristolboysthemovie.com/ (broken link) I truly feel bad for people living there if this affects the resale of their homes and draws even more attention to the downward spiral the town has faced. Reminds me a lot of willimantics struggles. Hopefully something POSITIVE can come from the attention like drawing the states attention to the problem being made more public and maybe they can help out.

Also if you want to read Brandons blogs about the movie and his tale of his actual experiences here you go. http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...d53c42d7c830ML

I realize the movie has been out for a little while now, however, it seems more people are starting to find out about it and watch it, so possible effects might start happening. Hopefully no negative ones.

I saw a piece about this movie on the local news a while back. They interviewed that guy and it looked interesting. I don't see why you would get flamed for posting this. It is a movie based on the real story, right?
