It’s been an exclusive there for months now.

Isn’t it out on DVD soon?? Anyway, I agree with you there – that is a highly underrated film that I discovered at the end of Sundance two years ago. It got its ass kicked by negative opinions and subsequently buried in its release. Hardly anyone knows this movie exists, but I am one of the few who LOVED it, too! So you’re not alone my friend!

The Story Of Anvil, i’m just saying most of what you mentioned was just ok and largely overrated, IMO (and there were prolly more, those two come to mind offhand).

I saw your 500 Days Of Summer post and i do want to see it. Adventureland would be awesome. Not sure i have interest in Moon.

But i guess I’m saying there was a lot of stuff that sounded good, but wasn’t (Visioneers and The Great Buck Howard being too recent examples; the latter being painfully mediocre).

Speaking of Sundance: Not only am i the only person on earth who saw The Go-Getter, but i think i’m the only that can admit i loved it (a LOT of people thought it was paint-by-numbers indie quirk, which in itself is becoming a loathsome genre).

I admit that last year maybe wasn’t great, but there was a handful of incredible films – and I’m not talking about Choke! Assassination of a High School President, American Teen, The Wackness, In Bruges, Smart People, Funny Games, and so many more! I’m surprised you couldn’t find ONE great movie at Sundance…

Now moving on to THIS year – I haven’t heard of a single one you’ve mentioned so far. I have been hoping Sam Rockwell’s Moon, Greg Motolla’s Adventureland, Zooey Deschanel’s 500 Days of Summer, and maybe even Duplicity might all be there, too… This year is actually looking VERY good! I would hope you might actually attend. And if you need a place to stay, let me know, we’ve got some room in our condo… 🙂
