Philly Film Fest 2008 update

Working and moving so no real time for movies this year. Worked John Leguizamo award ceremony. He was very nice, charming and good to the fans. Hori Smoke Sailor Jerry was also last night. Got good feedback from that film so I guess go see it:) I have two more shifts and no movies planned except Jekyll and Hyde which should be awesome. This has been a very disappointing festival as I haven't really gotten to see much. My short reviews are listed on twitter so follow that:)

2008 Film festival in full effect

I'm working shifts etc. so I've only seen three movies so far. I'm twittering these but I promise to write up some full reviews soon.

Holy Primary

Here in PA, we're actually the focus of the Democratic race. I've never seen so many ads which are almost all the same. I have to say that Hillary has never looked physically better. It's a good haircut. I still don't know who I'm voting for but apparently, it's all about the white man vote (isn't it always?) It's weird feeling like the only undecided out there but I can't be the only one, right?

In lighter news, the Philadelphia film festival has begun and I'm scared for my life people. For Saturday, I'm looking at Beloved and maybe Pistoleros.

One more non-related point, $128 to $253 for floor seats to George Michael. There's NO ONE I would pay that kind of money. I paid less for Madonna and I thought it was too much. Good gravy George.

Snoozy Cultural Gabfest

I'm a big fan of the Slate Political Gabfest. It's witty and interesting and all about the political landscape, which I love. Emily Bazelan, one of the hosts, is originally from the area, so Philly in the house. The Cultural Gabfest however takes all the joy out of this wonderful podcast. It's pretentious and most disappointing, boring. Slate, what were you thinking?

In other news, what's with the airing of the Alvin and Chipmunks DVD commercials. Enough already. I think CGI chipmunks are freakin' creepy.
