Stop making bot accounts to vote with. Shit's lame. Also highly liberal. "Oooh, I'm vootin!I just can't get ebough vootin! My habits have numbed this qualia & I need vootin hyperstimulus!" - That's what you sound like. Do better. I reserve the right to suspend elections and just play Joe Frank radio programs instead.

Post the link if you can, makes things easier. Movies usually play 16:00 MSK & 04:00 MSK the next morning Cytube is a finicky beast and usually accepts Youtube, Vimeo, Daily Motion, GoogleDrive(requires plug-ins, ez pz)and occasionally others if it feels charitable that day. Here’s the manual

    Waiting for Fidel 1974 ‧ Documentary/Political cinema ‧ 58 mins

    This feature-length documentary from 1974 takes viewers inside Fidel Castro's Cuba. A movie-making threesome hope that Fidel himself will star in their film. The unusual crew consists of former Newfoundland premier Joseph Smallwood, radio and TV owner Geoff Stirling and NFB film director Michael Rubbo. What happens while the crew awaits its star shows a good deal of the new Cuba, and also of the three Canadians who chose to film the island.

    Plot

    Two Canadians, former premier of Newfoundland Joey Smallwood and broadcaster Geoff Stirling, travel to Cuba in a private jet. They attempt to meet Fidel Castro to discuss Cuba–United States relations, but Castro never shows up. Instead, much of the film consists of discussions between progressive Smallwood and free-marketer Stirling about the effects of the Castro regime. The film's name is a take on the play Waiting for Godot, which has a similar conceit of two men conversing while they await a guest who never arrives.

    Critical reception and influence

    New York Times film reviewer Richard Eder observed that "It is about Cuba, in a way, but it is also about the difficulty in seeing Cuba for what it may be."[2] Gary Evans, in his chronicles of the National Film Board of Canada, called the film "one of the most intriguing documentaries of the period".[1] The film has been cited as an inspiration for director Michael Moore.[3]
