Zatoichi, starring and directed by Kitano Takeshi, was the last cinematic adventure undertaken by the Red Queen and I here in Park City. We tried to get in to see Riding Giants, the latest film from Dogtown & Z-Boys director Stacy Peralta, which chronicles the seaside adventures of the heroic, and oftentimes deliquent, big wave surfers.

Sundance Pt. 3
Greetings from Park City, Utah’s Internet Cafe. The Red Queen and I are having a great time up here in the boondocks of Utah. We’ve caught a fistfull of stars (Macaulay Culkin, Seth Green, Jena Malone, Patrick Fugit, Udo Kier and some others), a bunch of flicks and lots of food.
So far, the Red Queen and I have watched: (Venue, Genre, Score)
Sundance Pt. Deux
Last night I went to the World Premiere of Saved, the new film featuring Jenna Malone, Macauly Culkin, Patrick Fugit and Mandy Moore. The film is fantastic and given the crush of “up and coming” new stars, it stands to reason that the premiere event would be well-attended by the peers of these rising stars.
Live from Park City!
Just a quick note to say hello. I’ve been hob-nobbing with all the big C list celebrities including Kyle McLachlan, Danny Glover, Ray Romano and Byron Scott! Wow. The excitment is almost palatable.

The Red Queen and I will be in Park City, Utah attending the Sundance Film Festival from the 20th through the 25th.
Films for Indoor Recess
” I gave up video… I’m into Ham radio performance art now!”
Quite possibly the best movie ever made about making a movie is The Big Picture, with Kevin Bacon.
I like this film a great deal but not because it’s anything spectacular. The acting is ok, the music is random and aside from having 10 or 15 degrees of Kevin Bacon (Jennifer Jason Leigh, Terri Hatcher, J.T. Walsh, Martin Short, Fran Drescher, and John Cleese), it has no one thing that makes it great.
