Day THREE!

Done with Day Three of the festival. And what a great day it was!

We didn't have a movie until 3 PM. I only ended up seeing three movies today. That's okay, though. I'm seeing five tomorrow.

So we just milled around Main Street from 11 til 2 which was fun, 'cause I hadn't done that yet. We just walked around showing Bridget and Amanda the town and people-watching. Celebrities abound! Here's who we saw when we were walking around this morning:

James Woods
Juliette Lewis
Shawn Hatosy
Pierce Brosnan
John Leguizamo
Jay Mohr
Brenda Blethyn
Billy Boyd

Craziness.

So, then we went to see Dear Wendy at the Eccles. Written by Lars Von Trier. Congrats, Dear Wendy. You win the award for Worst Film of the Fest So Far. People really seemed to like it but after I saw it, I wanted to repell all memories of the film from my mind. It was all about guns. It made little sense to me. I know it was trying to make some kind of strong political statement, and yay for that, but even films that are meant to truly "mean something" shouldn't be painful nonsense to watch.

Next, we went to The Dying Gaul at the Raquet Club. I didn't know a whole lot about it before I went in, just that it had a good cast (Peter Saarsgard, Campbell Scott and Patricial Clarkson. Holy hell was this a good movie. Dark and twisted, yet with some heart. Absolutely stellar performances. Of course. Probably the best movie I've seen so far.



After that, Amanda and I an hour to get from the Raquet Club to the Library for our next screening. No problem, right? Wrong. It took SO LONG on the stupid city bus! We ended up getting off on Main Street and making a mad dash for the Library. We lucked out -- the movie we were seeing had a 17-minute short before it!

So, my last movie of the day was Swimmers which was pretty good. A sad, sort of slow family drama with good performances and one of those really intuitive 12 year old girl characters where she's far wiser than anyone even twice her age. I'm glad I saw it, though. I enjoyed Sarah Paulson, who played this kind of weird loner girl who befriends the 12 year old. And you can't go wrong with Cherry Jones, who also had a starring role.

Afterwards, we walked from the Library back to our COndo but on the way happened upon some Entertainment Weekly party, which I stopped to gawk at for a moment. During that time, Crispin Glover (my future boyfriend) came out and I snapped a photo.

I'm about to go to bed. The plan for tomorrow is to see FIVE MOVIES! They are:

The Upside of Anger
On a Clear Day
The Ballad of Jack and Rose
Game Six
The Talent Given Us

Here are some of the photos I've taken so far. Not in any order.
