And I ended my afternoon with another CSI :NY episode from the boxed set. This one I had seen several times last season. Two murders again - a woman in a museum and a man at a construction site with insulation foan rammed down his throat. An adorable child played a key role in the solution of one of the cases.

So, I should have time tonight to watch CARS before the DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES/COLD CASE 9 p.m. hour. Hope it's as much fun as it appears to be.

Der Brucer - I'd imagine that the filmmakers agree to be part of these festivals for the exposure.  If the understanding is that they won't get any money from the festival. do you see a problem as long as non-participation in profits is stated upfront?

None, whatsoever.

The profits appear to being well used.

I'm heading downstairs now to clean my bathroom, and then back to the den for Pixar's CARS.

Business is done (and took longer, natch), so now it is time to RANT:

For the last three days I have never seen so much driving stupidity in my life.  I thought I'd seen it all, but either there's a full moon or driver's have completely lost their sanity, in least here in LA.  People running lights, people not stopping at stop signs (doing the California Roll right through - and when you honk they give YOU a dirty look), people pulling out in front of you sans warning, people trying to turn and beat oncoming cars - I mean, one idiot after another, endangering their and other's lives.  People so involved in their cell phone calls that they have no idea where they're driving, so they have to do last-minute dangerous lane changes because they realize they need to go right and not left - so, they DO the dangerous lane change and others be damned because they're STILL on their cell phone yakking away instead of paying attention to what they're doing.  Cars are dangerous enough without fools like that on the road and frankly I'd rather have them go home and blow their own brains out than potentially cripple and maim and kill other innocent people with their selfish driving stupidity.  Today, aside from all of the above happening (within a fifteen minute drive), the topper was the cretin in front of me who was driving down and empty one lane street (no passing him) going five miles an hour.  No amount of honking could get him to speed up.  When I finally was able to pull beside him what did I see?  I saw a driver eating a pizza, leaning over the box in the passenger seat with a dripping slice going into his ugly, stupid mouth.  EATING A PIZZA WHILE DRIVING!  I honked to let him know what I thought of him, but the pig didn't hear it, so engrossed in his gobbling was he.  If I were a different person, I would have pulled in front of him, stopped, and gotten out of my car and had a little conversation with him.

End of rant.

Well none of my dresses fit- many of them zipped, but I don't think they made me look my best.  So thanks to H&M, I have a back-up in case the miracle I've been hoping for doesn't happen and I don't lose 5 pounds by next saturday... :)

Five pounds is a reasonable goal....especially with the dress hanging in front of you!

*SIGH* - maybe Johnny Weir should go ahead and change his middle name to "Pretentious."

I don't know if he's getting bad advice or NOT LISTENING to good advice...but his self-importance and the resulting routines and interviews are doing him NO favors.  IMO

THE AMAZING RACE is on tonight....sometime.....

For those who were left scratching their heads on this one, the "S" in S. Woody White is the initial for Stephen.

I much prefer Woody, a nick given me during college.

I am now curious about the arrangements (business, not artistic) for this Film Festival. They have Government, Foundation and Business sponsorships. They are charging $8.50 a ticket, even for the afternoon showings. They had sold out 27 showings as of last night. Two of the shows we saw were not sold out, but only had a handful of seats left. If every visitor only bought one ticket, they would have a week-end gate of well over $250,000!

I know the Festival does a lot of good work in the community - but just wonder how much of the loot finds its way back to the film creators? The Festival organization itself seems to be going great guns - they have full time year-round paid staff and are in the process of starting a building fund to erect a permanent facility to house their offices and film collections.

I must also comment that the entire Festival was one of the best organized events I have attended in many a moon (due in no small part to the host of volunteers at work.) They had taken over most of the 16 stage theatre complex and there was ample free parking.

der Brucer

Time to nit-pick.  The festival had sold out fifty-seven of their screenings, not twenty-seven.

Good showing, I say.

Dreamship Surprise: Period 1 proved to be a total hoot.  Apparently, it springs from a German sketch comedy show, and follows another film the group made which was basically a western along the lines of Blazing Saddles.

Imagine a send-up of Star Trek, with Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, and Scotty (and a few others) crossed with a send-up of Star Wars, basically with the Princess, Han Solo, and Darth Vader (plus the Emperor hanging around in the background).

Now imagine all this with Kirk, Spock, and Scotty as the most fabulously nelly twits possible.

That's just for a start.

Somehow, the film also rocketed into a jousting sequence set in the middle ages, and a bit more Western stuff, all before reaching their goal of stopping something terrible happening at Roswell, three hundred years in their past.

The special effects were for the most part good, the performances delish, and there were a couple of puns that actually translated correctly!

Der Brucer and I loved it.

But he still loathes subtitles.   :-\
