Cinequest - Day ELEVEN
Movie count: 25 films, 11 days (45 films if you count shorts) Today was a really really really good day. I am really sad though that it ends tomorrow. First Cinequest ever that I'm not ready for it to be over. Thank God I didn't have school. I woke up with a terrible sore throat and still felt like crap, so I just stayed in bed until 8:30 and decided I would miss the first set of shorts. So I drank some coffee and felt a little better, then Spike got me an Italian fritatta ciabatta sandwich which made my recovery complete. I got to Cinequest around 1pm and felt just fine.
So off to the Rep to see Canary. Cinequesting asked me why I liked Canary but not Billy/Deaf Kid. It's really simple: Canary gives you a lot to think about with not a lot of dialogue, Billy gave me nothing to think about BUT the bad dialogue. And so of COURSE, the Billy kids were there at the theater. Candyce liked Canary, and when I said I did too her eyes opened in surprise and then her entire face fell. "I'm so jealous," she said, making me feel a thousand times worse for not liking her movie. Honestly, I rarely feel bad for anything I do or say, but these kids are insanely nice. I feel like a cad, I swear, heh. I will say this though, they have stuck around through the whole festival and everyone knows who they are. These are the kinds of filmmakers we love to see come back, whether they have a movie in hand or not. They are the kinds of filmmakers who make the whole experience for us Cinegoers. You can feel the holes that directors like Cullen Hoback and Craig Saavedra leave when they don't return to the festival. The Billy kids are going to leave a hole next year (unless they come back!). And then off to see The Last Lullaby, which I also loved, review below. Tomorrow's schedule will possibly look like this: And I just might be able to run between theaters to fit in Gotta Dance, but I doubt it will happen. Sadly, this is the end. No more movies after tomorrow. I am sad. Posted by Pischina at March 8, 2009 12:08 AMComments
