I have to say, sometimes my life gets a bit surreal. The annual film fest is in town and Susan Sarandon is here. I was bummed because I didn't get a chance to meet her, so I decide to meet friends at the local hotel for drinks. I'm sitting on the outside patio area and I recognize the guy sitting next to us. It's Paul Sorvino and director Dave Rodriguez! They're there with family and we start chatting...then Paul starts singing Opera! Interesting night.
Anywho, I'm a little disappointed with what I've seen so far at the film fest. "Ida" and "The Double" both had the same remarkably bad ending. Watched "Copenhagen" today..it was alright. Just not impressed thus far. To top it off I get this email about women in the industry-
"Despite a couple of producer or co-producer credits on films like The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, American Hustle, and Her; and Frozen being co-directed by Jennifer Lee, 2013 marked a dismal year for women in behind-the-scenes jobs on the top 250 grossing movies. A recent survey found that women comprised only 16% of the directors, writers, producers, editors, and cinematographers—that’s actually lower than it was in 1998. And only 6% of the top films last year were directed by women, down from 9%. "
Man, the ladies need to start kicking some ass!!!!!!

Watched "John Dies At The End" last night - bits of "Bill & Ted" & a smidgen of Cronenburgs "Videodrome" weirdness , overall I enjoyed it .
