10 Days Of Sundance The movie line-up at Sundance is very much like the indie business… confused. There was a lot of self-awareness out there, but not a lot of inspired audaciousness. There are always one or two great movies that Sundance misses in the massive work of sifting through primarily original, unrepresented material out there. But, all things considered, it is always a good bet that we had the chance to see most of the best of what is new out there in this year's 10 days in Park City. And sure, Ken Turan had to change his cell number when Paris Hilton refused to stop calling, but that was the exception to the rule. The hype was more a side dish than since the early days. _____________________________
10
Days Of Sundance Why all the Sundance anxiety? I am always a little shocked when I read a bevy of stories from very intelligent writers that seem to reflect last year's story instead of this year's story. This year, Sundance has suffered the long-simmering residual from last year's hype orgy in the hills. _____________________________
The
Reeler I should have more to show for Thursday, I know, but this place is totally starting to depress me. There's just too much space and fewer and fewer people want to be here and my ghetto Internet hook-up at Reeler HQ West makes posting about as pleasurable an experience as circumcision. The parties become insufferable; the oily Hollywood douchebags scurry through the snow like rats. And when Jeff Lipsky's ham-fisted Flannel Pajamas turned out to be the only New York feature I could catch all day, my spirit crashed somewhat violently and I wound up having to watch two hours of C-Span just to help flush the immediate memory.

Days Of Sundance What is most fascinating about the battle over the two Nader presidential runs is that Nader's initiating proposition is that the two parties have become very much like the big businesses he has spent a lifetime trying to force to play by the rules, and that the response of the parties and of many prominent Democrats has been almost exactly like the response of those corporations. Arrogance. Abusiveness. Misleading Information. Self Delusion. __________________________

Days Of Sundance If there is a Garden State or Napoleon Dynamite to come out of Sundance 2006, it seems that it will be Wristcutters: A Love Story. Make no mistake, Little Miss Sunshine is more naturally commercial and The Science of Sleep will be more of a critics darling, but if there is a movie here that is going to win the hearts and minds of the angst & rebellion laden teenagers of America, it's going to be Wristcutters. ________________________

Days Of Sundance The
Science of Sleep appears to be Michel Gondry's "Fuck you, Charlie"
to Charlie Kaufman, who seems to have gotten far too much credit for Gondry's
taste for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Again, waking sleep is
a focus. But, unfortunately, this time Gondry only has himself to structure the
narrative and he could have used a real screenwriter. _____________________________
Sundance
On Ice Itineraries and hope-filled paragraphs are starting to litter the internet. If the five inches of snow threatened for Chicago doesn’t dump in the next three hours before my flight to Salt Lake City, I’ll join the chorus tomorrow afternoon. Sundance wasn’t in the cards for me until several weeks ago, and the wholehearted lack of expectations that came after giving up on it should be a small, healthy thing.
