| D-Tour: A Tenacious Documentary - the Movie »
On my way to stand in line...
I'm leaving in about 15 minutes to get to D-Tour at the Rep. I'm figuring arriving about 1/2 hour early will be good - only because I have my express pass. Today Cinequesting put up a poll about whether people should be allowed to save seats. I say Absolutely Not!!! Because they are seating people with high priced passes along with people who have bought tickets there is no way to know when they have sold out - no one knows how many "passes" will show up. And space for some of these films is at a premium - if you want to see the movie, you need to show up early and get your butt into a chair. Today at The Art of Travel it was obvious the theater was going to be packed but people were still insisting on saving seats. People were lined up along the walls waiting for seats, even though there were many empty chairs in the audience. Finally the moderator came and said "No can do" and had everyone push into the middle. Then he gave a very short lecture about how some people who want to see the movie have actually arrived on time and are waiting to be seated while some people don't care enough to actually get there. And you know, if you arrived on time to that showing you have no reason to be offended. It's a film festival, People, by its very nature it is run differently and you need to accomodate that. As for D-Tour, all three of the boys I have with me are Ultra-Excited about this film. I have not heard any hint that Jack Black will show up, but the boys are ready. Two of them said if he is there they will throw themselves at his feet and beg to be adopted. My own boy of course knows better than to say this within earshot of Mom. But I am happy that they are excited, and happy that I can expose them to all kinds of films here at Cinequest. And I am off! There will probably be no review until tomorrow morning. Good Night!
