WE DON'T MEAN TO BE SO GREAT...
Correction: We're great, but the people that designed are chassis aren't.

THE WACKNESS IS THE DOPENESS
Great news from the Sundance Film Festival: not only has my favorite film, The Wackness, been picked up by Sony Pictures Classics, it also won the Audience Award at the fest, which is the most fitting award for this wonderful crowd-pleaser. Some folks on the web are upset that SPC got the film, pointing to the fact that the distributor has been unable to make any of their recent films hits; the sheer numbers are hard to argue against, but I have high hopes that SPC can break out of their rut with this terrific movie, one that should be a big success with anyone between the ages of 17 and 40.

COMMENT!
Every article and blog entry for the site now has comments enabled. There are a couple details yet to work out (ratings might be part of the system eventually) but this is something we've wanted to have on the site for a while. It's an open, un-moderated system, and we'd really love to keep it that way.
Post 'first!' and get the robot spiders from Runaway sent to your machine. Post Selleck/Simmons slash fic and get my eternal admiration. Those are your guidelines.

CHUD.COM'S PLEA TO YOU:
Do not be a fucking douche and see Meet the Spartans this weekend. If you want to laugh, watch one of the 17,000 other more deserving comedies out there.
Like The House of Mirth.
Just don't see that movie.

STILL SUNDANCING
I'm just checking in between screenings here at the Sundance Film Festival. This morning I saw one of the better films of the festival, a documentary called Man on Wire, about a guy who walked a tightrope between the Twin Towers in 1975. This is a story begging to be made into a narrative feature. After that I saw Boaz Yakin's new film, Death in Love. I'm still digesting it - it's not the feel good film of the fest, that's for sure - but I do know that I thought the movie was damn ballsy, presenting a lot of very shocking imagery that sent people at the screening running for the door. Yakin makes his intentions known right at the beginning of the movie with a montage that intercuts people fucking and Nazi doctors experimenting on Jews. I'm interested in getting my thoughts about this one down on pixels soon.
In the meantime, keep up with my Sundance screenings by clicking here, where I list everything I've seen and rank them best as I can. Be aware that some rankings may change as some movies sink in and others fade away.
