"I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king"...

so goes the Sinatra song about life, and the variety of people who inhabit it. Enter "The Parking Lot Movie", a documentary about a singular parking lot in Charlottesville, Virginia, and the select group of parking lot attendants that inhabit its microcosm. The attendants are a uniquely varied group of men comprised of both undergraduate and graduate students, philosophers, intellectuals, musicians, artists and, you know, marginal-type characters. Interesting how we started the list with academia. That's life. Be sure to catch Independent Lens tonight at 11pm.
