Dixie Carter resorts to pleading with fans to DVR Impact if they can't watch it live on Twitter

Source: www.sbnation.com --- Sunday, March 14, 2010 via img.thesun.co.uk View full size photo » Perhaps the only good news TNA got this week was that the replay of Impact in their old Thursday night time slot drew an impressive 1.0 rating. Unfortunately this strong rating apparently didn't make Spike TV change their minds about the replay only being for one week only, as Dixie Carter wrote the following on Twitter 14 hours ago: " TNA iMPACT! will NOT re-air on Thursdays. If you can't watch LIVE Mondays 9-11pm ET on SPIKE, please DVR it. PLEASE RT". Knowing TNA, I'm sure they forgot to tell the one million or so people watching their replay this salient fact and Dixie Carter had to make a desperation tweet to get the news out to her 34,000 followers on Twitter. Well, that's sure to make a huge difference to their Monday night rating! Forward planning is obviously not TNA's strong point. ...

5 Questions With ... Etienne Sauret, director of 'Dirty Pictures'

We e-chatted with Etienne Sauret, director of “Dirty Pictures,” a documentary portrait of Dr. Alexander “Sasha” Shulgin, a famed chemist dubbed the “Godfather of Psychedelics” for his discoveries in the field of psychedelic drugs, including MDMA, aka Ecstasy. The movie “examines the impact of Dr. Shulgin’s lifelong quest to unlock the complexities of the human mind.” Sauret’s other credits include “WTC: The First 24 Hours” and “Too Pure.” “Dirty Pictures” screens at 9:30 p.m. Saturday at the Austin Convention Center; 7:15 p.m. Sunday at the Alamo South; and 5:30 p.m. March 19 at the Alamo Ritz. What led you to Dr. Shulgin, so-called “rogue chemist,” as a subject? Etienne Sauret: It began unexpectedly. I have a friend who runs a drug prevention center in the U.K. who wanted to bring Sasha to London to speak at a conference on drug policy. Sasha couldn’t go to London, so my friend enlisted me to go to California with him to make a short film with Sasha for the conference. As we were filming, I found myself really touched by Sasha. I found him special and endearing, and that’s where it began. - Describe the relationship between Sasha and Ann Shulgin, his wife and work partner of 40 years. It’s very special, one that comes through in the movie. They complete one another. Alex (Sasha) has the scientific and chemical knowledge to create the compounds and Ann has the ability to verbalize what their work is all about. He’s a child at heart, more interested in tinkering and finding the next compound, where she can verbalize the philosophical and spiritual considerations that they’re trying to get across. So in the movie and for their two books (“Pihkal” and “Tihkal”) she’s a strong voice in explaining their experiences; she takes up where he leaves off. What does Shulgin think about the destructive capacity of Ecstasy and other drugs he’s had a hand in making? Sasha has always regretted that MDMA has come to be seen and used as it has, as part of the party drug Ecstasy. For him, MDMA would have stayed as it was initially, a tool that was used in controlled environments — successfully by psychology counselors — to create a treatment benefit. He doesn’t see the club thing as really having anything to do with MDMA as he created it, which was as a drug to provide insight for people. He’s not against people having fun, per se, he just sees his creations as a more serious endeavor and one to be taken seriously. As Sasha likes to say “They are no casual experiments.” Ann reinforces this belief by adding that one “can deal with matters of life and death” when taking psychedelics. How does the mainstream scientific community regard Shulgin and his creations? Some chemists openly admire his work, and a few of them are in the film. … I think some other chemists must secretly admire what Shulgin does, although they can’t directly say it because of possible repercussions. I think some of them must look up to him for the freedom he has made for himself to dictate the scope of his own research. As a maverick, he’s been able to do what very few of them can do because they work for big companies, which is what he walked away from years ago. … On one hand he is a folk hero with a dedicated worldwide fan base who appreciate his work, but to the outside world, he’s often seen as a rogue chemist who is responsible for people’s children’s experiments. And I think that’s a burden to him, because he knows what good his drugs can do, and he sees this as a vulgarization of that potential. I’m sure law enforcement isn’t overly pleased with his work. I don’t know for sure, but I suspect that these days they’d probably rather just ignore him. Drug enforcement now deals with drugs that have nothing to do with Sasha’s discoveries at the prime of his career, when he was in consultation with law enforcement and researching new drugs. I think the DEA is more concerned with huge labs that are making a ton of drugs that are really nasty and that have nothing to do with the psychedelic experience. What’s the most lasting thing you learned while being immersed in Shulgin’s world? Foremost is the power of individuality, of somebody who stands up against all odds. Sasha decided what he wanted his life to be, then he went all the way and never looked back. … There’s something very inspiring about that. … If there were more people like him, we’d live in a better world. Meaning, if there were more individuals who took it upon themselves to find materials which could possibly enable people to better themselves, we’d live in a better environment. Anybody who improves people’s ability to feel good and understand themselves has got to feel pretty good themselves. More about the movie HERE.
