It is nice to see Brian Williams in the hot seat for once. You know. After watching him for all these years asking people absurdist joke questions on stage at film festivals. Taste of your own medicine, Williams. (Thanks for the tip, Maria.)

  1. Money well spent, Nantucket Film Festival. Now we’ve actually heard of you!

    • Thought provoking, Elena. As controversial as interracial relationships and marriages are and have been, they are much understudied. A recent as 1970, only approximately 1 out of 1000 marriages was interracial. By the early 21st century, there were approximately 1.6 million interracial or interethnic marriages, making up 3% of all marriages.
      Even though they have become more present, American society has historically been less accepting of interracial relationships. As early as the 1600’s, legislation has been enacted to ban Black-White relationships and most of this legislation existed up until 1967. The last state to repeal these types of laws was Alabama, back in November of 2000. Even today, many researchers regard interracial relationships as “dysfunctional” and not relevant enough to study, even though there is little evidence to support such assumptions. There are several different theories as to why couples get together including similarity, proximity, reciprocal attraction, mutual reinforcement, and misattribution of arousal.

      Hope this answers your question. Sorry so sloppy.

    • it’s bound to turn up on a nantucket nectar fact sooner or later. i mean, i got one the other day that said “nantucket is not a part of kentucky.” i’m not sure if there are 49 similar facts out there for alabama-wyoming, or if there was actual confusion over both words containing “tuck,” but either way, those dudes are desperate.

  2. this shaky cam is killing me. i feel like i’m watching cloverfield starring zach galifinakis.

    actually, that sounds like an amazing movie.

  4. I thought it was with Brian Wilson. That would’ve been amazing.

  5. I was just wondering this morning if our days with “Between Two Ferns” had ended, since ZG is a superstar now…

  6. Did anyone else find it hard to understand? Felt like mumblestiltskin up in here (yuck).
