afi dallas festival - day 3?

at least for me it's day three. the festival is finally here and more and more i'm becoming aware of the fact that my pets will see very little of me for the next week. i'll just throw down a bowl of kibble before heading out each night -- i'm sure they won't mind.

so far i've committed to 10 movies. yeah, i know it's a lot, especially for someone who still has a netflix movie from about two months ago. but hey, who knows when i'll ever have the chance to see these movies again...

saturday i saw the go-getter at the angelica, which i completely loved. i now need to go out and buy a bunch of m ward albums. and i know, once again why everyone loves zooey deschanel. i think they said the movie will be distributed/released this fall, and i fully intend to see it again. i don't want to ruin anything for anyone, so i won't tell you about the movie itself, but just go. trust me.

sunday was the good life at the magnolia, aka part two of zooey worship. i did enjoy it, but i think i need a little more time for it to settle in and not seem so depressing. sad, but in a good way -- if that makes sense. surprising here and there. and my reaction to it. the post screening q & a was pretty entertaining and i learned that (a) winnepeg looks a lot like nebraska (b) steve berra talks/acts like tony barsotti (this is a good thing), (c) patrick fugit aged quite nicely and (d) ginnifer goodwin is as sweet as she looks.

so now there are 8 more movies to go.* if anyone wants to join me, i still have the rape of europa, netherbeast incorporated, diggers, exiled, punks not dead, shut up and shoot me, hot fuzz, and of course, fay grim coming up this week. or if you think there's anything i must see, let me know.

* unless someone can get me in to away from her and/or the ten, which are both sold out. then i'd be crazy happy.
