I’m in Los Angeles shooting for the new Margaret Cho movie “Revolution”. Sometimes there are people who you really admire their work and you really fall in love with uhm, who they seem to be? And I have now become afraid of meeting those people in real life — because, there will always be disappointment that they are not like that at all - or not really like that all the time — and that they have a whole staff of people around to help them be the fabulous person I fell in love with. Well, I have to say that Margaret Cho is not one of those people that at all. She is talented and funny and just sweet sweet sweet and the people all around her are all incredibly funny, very down to earth and this was one of the nicest film making experiences I’ve ever had. So I can thank Lorene Machado (whose comment is in the “apologies” entry for those who like the whole story) for bringing me on to Revolution. It’s about 3:30 in the morning now though and so I must cut this short… but if any of you haven’t seen her last two movies - I’m the One That I Want or Notorious C.H.O - run to the video store and rent them. RUN!

Margaret Cho is hilarious. I’m excited that she is making another film because her first two had me rolling. It’s cool that you get to meet her, she seems like a person almost anyone would want to hang out with. Have fun.

Hi Nisha, I really liked Chutney Popcorn, I saw it last year on video. I stumbled accross your blog cause I have a habit of searching online for info on movies I’ve recently seen, and while I was searching for The Guru, I went to your movie site cause I was looking for info on one of the actors I saw in Chutney Popcorn who I also noticed in The Guru…can’t find anything on him though, at least not yet. I think he was your cousin… in the movie that is. Anyways, I figured I’d say hello and let you know that way down here in Trinidad, there’s someone who admires your work. Being of Indian decent myself, I think it’s great to see minority races, particularly Indian in the forefront for a change.
