Okay, I said I was gonna do it, so here it is: all the movies I saw at this year's film festival. No links - feeling lazy. Some ratings added where I can remember if I really liked the film or really hated it.

3-Iron
Pin Boy
Mysterious Skin
Late Bloomer (one of the very best)
Fiction Artists (up there with Decasia for experimental film)

Yes
Sorceress of the New Piano
The White Diamond (excellent)

Occupation: Dreamland (great)

The only one I've heard of is Broken Flowers.
Well, the majority will never see a general release, so that's not surprising.
The Devil and Daniel Johnston (excellent)
I'd like to see this one too.
So-Ive never heard of these yet and I so miss going to the theatre. The Devil and Daniel Johnston? There is a movie about this crazy genious? oh wait-that is an oxymoron isn't it?
I'll always love his "speeding motorcycle"
You'll love it. It's had great reviews. It's kinda sad cos he is such a genius and he has such an incredibly hard time with his mental illness. Such an amazing songwriter.
I got to meet Elliott a couple times. Briefly. Very briefly. But it meant the world to me. As does his music.
Oh, you're talking about Daniel Johnston, not Elliott Smith.
Perdone, madames.
I so miss going to the theatre.

S'okay. You're forgiven. I bet it meant a lot. It would mean a lot. I mean, it's Elliot. Elliot Smith. Legend.
