Dancing On Ice - Pre-Game Show 2
So it's big prayers for Little Miss Sunshine Cleaning... maybe Morgan Spurlock... is the Levinson actually good?... The return of Team Half Nelson... U-fucking-2 in 3-fucking-D... and a lot of films that we are all hoping will be more special than we ever imagined.
And that is the magic of a festival of firsts, ain't it?
There is a lot of talk about everyone who isn't coming up this year. Lean days at newspapers have meant cutbacks for the smaller papers and not-as-large-as-usual for some of the bigger ones. But studios and agencies are also cutting back.
But in my perverse soul, this is encouraging. And probably for some at Sundance too, where many of the team really do believe in the festival mission statement over Sundance-as-market.
I just had a chat with a college professor who has had a class up here for four years now... they teach, they see movies, they breathe it all in. And oh, what a breath it can be. Great! So utterly lacking in cynicism.
Personally, I am getting more and more comfortable with this festival as it will happen. Maybe it's the WGA strike putting it in context. Maybe it is a wider set of ways in which I cover the festival. Maybe it's just thrilling to not be chasing The Golden Ten and realizing that anything could be in that group for a change.
And so we roll...

You have seriously got to review Spurlock's new picture.
