Brokeback!

(thought we could start early today, guys)

Brokeback?

Whats that?

If Brokeback doesn't win the Jury Prize and Audience Award, I'm going back in the closet!

And don't tell me it's not eligible -- it's here, it's queer, and it's the best movie ever made and should be considered for every movie competition from here on out!

Now that's funny.

It may be the first movie to win back to abck Oscars.

Hehe, funny. If only Brokeback IS eligible for everything, it'd win. It's that good.

Maybe if I send a petition to Mr. Bush, we can have sort of a Brokeback Day on the calendar.

I can think of a lot of things that we can do on Brokeback day. Fishing, sheep herding, outing Dave Poland, etc.

I spent the morning packing for Park City and will likely spend this evening worrying I forgot something. It's hard to try and look cool while staying warm! Keeding.

If anyone wants to grab a nice 3.2 beer and put a face to random blog postings while in Park City, email me at DLew022@gmail.com and we can try to connect. My *real* name is Don (I feel safe saying that because I didn't bag on BBM!) and I write for Film Threat. I'll be there from January 20-27 with them. Speaking of....we have a Sundance blog over at Film Threat right now and we're going to have a webcam, video blog and some short Sundance videos. Please check it out.

The slate at Sundance looks really good as of now.

For Sundance. I'm excited to hear the early word on:
Alpha Dog
The Science of Sleep
Art School Confidential

It's understandable why there is no excitement around Sundance this year.

Utah is home to Megaplex Theatres, the chain that banned "Brokeback Mountain" for religious reasons. Had I been a star, director, or executive, I would have boycotted Sundance this year -- and cited the ban on "Brokeback".

Don't give anyone any ideas. The state of Utah will be filled with the Brokeback groupies having sit ins at theatres.

I'm interested in that Gondry movie too. I think Eternal Sunshine was one of the best movies of the past few years.

It has such a great premise to it. There is so much you can do with it. With his talent and skill with a camera, he should be able to hit another home run.

Sundance.

A trip to watch first run movies, party, eat like a King, and go skiing. That would have me always excited if I was going every year. I wouldn't even care what was playing.

Utah is also home to some of the most beautiful natural scenery one can see with their own eyes. Nature created a gorgeous place there. You can't go wrong visiting there. Wyoming and Montana too.

What happened to Sundance between 2004 and 2005 that marked the 'next iteration' of the festival?

sundance is a scene now. a place to be seen. when paris hilton is going there u know its not a film festival anymore.

Sundance never left. It's others who try and put a name and a spin on it. But being so successful does that.

Never been there. Would love to go one day.

Just need to get thw wallet a little tiny bit more padded. LOL.

its cold and really expensive and filled with people on cell phones. ur not missing much.

Not missing much Bob? Why, last year Blustealer etc missed Pammy Anderson demanding swag off the backs of lowpaid Diesel workers! I"d pay to see that. Then I'd pay to throw something at her. [at least i think that was last year...time races on]

That's about all you miss since too many movies are packed into too few days considering the size that most major fests are now.

I'd pay to see Pam Anderson anywhere. Even Barb Wire 2. I'm one of 20 that watches "Stacked".

I loved it when on the Globe's red carpet one of the interviewers asked Pam "So your show Stacked, when is it coming back on the air?" and Pam goes "...we're already back".

There was a really funny episode of Stacked the other week that featured Jenny McCarthy, but other than that whenever I watch the show it's nothing spectacular. Good for a few chuckles, but not much.

I heard it was pretty bad. She's no comedian or actress for that matter.

I don't think ANYONE is disputing that. However I do get a few chuckles out of that show. Like when Jenny McCarthy was all "Can i feel em?" and Pamela was all "yeah! Can i feel yours" ... it was simple but funny (and I'm not straight so it didn't THAT going for it)

A brave admission, Camel. There's only one possible reason for anyone to watch that show (you're a horny teenaged boy who needs glasses and can't see that Pam looks like a female impersonator whose beauty consultant is Tammy Faye Baker) and you've just admitted that it doesn't apply to you. I salute you for your honesty.

Arrested Development is gone and this thing is still on the air. As a wise man said, people get the entertainment they deserve.

ohmigod Frankbooth that was very funny.

Pammy indeed could possibly look like Tammy Faye should she get any more orange in skin tone in the next decade (I suspect Paris H will be racing her for that honor).

Pammy aint no Pam Grier and whoever is directing Stacked (does it have a director?) aint no Jack Hill. Times are bad for the menfolk, eh?

'tis true, 'tis pity, Lota. And pity 'tis...

And as long as we're being mean (I can't take credit--or blame--for this one) some wag said that Uma, that erstwhile Aphrodite, is growing to resemble the puppet Madame of "Waylan and..." (still, I wouldn't kick her out of bed for plucking eyeballs.)

Even my favorite nightclub singer, Dorothy Vallens, is showing her age.

That leaves us with a bunch of bimbos named Jessica no one can tell apart, and a number of cheaper-by- the-Love-Bugs familiar only to the Nickelodeon-aged crowd. It's enough to make a grown man fondle his little square of blue velvet as he cries in his Pabst...Blue...Ribbon!

Booth

Dorothy Vallens still looks good and will look better than any bimbo under 30 for a long while. But in a few years you may call her "grammy, grammy". She won;t object since she's into pain.

Have to do something about the poor taste in beer however, dude. Pabst is one step above Schlitz, parodied in Dave Chappelle's Schlipp's (Dudes! Night! Out!).

Come to think of it..those "women" in the end of Chappelle's skit looked like Tammy Faye Baker! Maybe Dave was trying to give Pammy a hint of the future.

Still-we could get unlucky and have David "DUI" Hasselhoff get a show called Stacked. He'd do it too.
