Some random tidbits from this week at Sundance:
–People do not observe proper sneezing and coughing etiquette (FYI: we always sneeze or cough into our sleeve, not our open hand, so we don’t spread the joy onto every single thing we touch), and so you can feel the disease spread throughout the jam-packed theaters and […]
Memo to self: Remember to tell everyone about that long conversation you had yesterday with that ridiculously handsome and modest actor on the shuttle about the comparisons between acting and writing, and how we’re all responsible for our own careers, and how we both know people in our own professions who seem to think […]
Today was a very good day in my particular Sundance world, with two truly excellent films I hope you’ll all keep an eye out for. (Yes, I end sentences with prepositions. All the time. It’s what I’m made of.)
The first is Sunshine Cleaning, starring Amy Adams (yay, Enchanted!) and Emily Blunt yay, […]
Tonight we saw the coolest caper film, and it was actually a documentary. It’s called Man on Wire, and it’s about Phillipe Petit, this guy who pulled off the most outlandish stunt imaginable, walking on a tightrope suspended between the two World Trade Center buildings back in 1974. The guy not only survived, […]
I have this Pollyanna-ish rule that I try not to badmouth books or movies or people on the blog (although maybe I’ve violated that sometimes–and I’m sure you’ll be happy to point it out if I have). That said, I’m only going to tell you about the films I love up here at Sundance, […]
Yeah, well, I’m up here at Sundance, and I already blew it this morning. I had tickets in hand for an 8:30 AM film, but I just had to see if I could get into this great-sounding documentary instead–American Teen, which follows a group of 17-year-olds for most of a year, and reveals the […]
Personally, I usually go for this. Or this. And certainly this (do I own the life-size stand up cutout? You decide).
But I am Persuaded.
Thank you, PBS, for giving us The Men of Austen. That ought to occupy us all quite nicely for the next several Sundays.
**Swoon**

[UPDATE: Thanks to Heather and Patrick, I’ve decided to make this post about you, not just about Lost. Check out your challenge below:]
In my continuing effort to wait patiently for Lost to begin again (January 31!! Two-hour opener! SWEET!), I came across this. Please click on the 8-minute recap.
It […]
Poor Adrienne. I hear ya, sistah. What’s really going to suck HARD is if somehow my precious Lost is affected. It’s already been outrageously delayed since ending last spring, but if I can’t start having my fix again in February, as promised–
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. Meanwhile I console myself with this.
I don’t know if […]
I read these examples, and I have to admit I wasn’t too upset by any of them. Sounds like I’m not alone.
What do you guys think?
