Sorry to have to mention Crash yet again, but critics weren't exactly ga-ga over it initially. And the audiences at both screenings responded especially well. Plus, the Weinsteins will be behind this in full force, so I think it's a likely prediction.
I checked out your reviews - glad we agree about The Fountain, which was a real letdown. Also very jealous about you seeing Little Children and meeting John Cameron Mitchell in person.
There were things I really liked about it, but it seemed like it was packing way too much in for its scope - will expand in a capsule review in the next couple of days. Laura Linney and Deborra-Lee Furness were brilliant though, award-worthy brilliant.
(OK so the B's reaction to "The Fountain" surprised me --even if his thoughts came across as borderline incoherent-- if he doesn't love this who the hell will?? Oh, God. I hope Cuarón, at least, lives up to my expectations).
I was going to say ME, but then you had to go and shatter my fantasy. But that's great news, and I hope that you have a blast (what am I talking about, of course you will.) Take lots of pictures and take notes. So that you can update your blog.
You know, because it's not like it's updating itself.

Interesting that you mention that...since damned near everything I'm reading about it is critics saying how disappointing it is.

I'm a bit disappointed that you were a bit disappointed about Jindabyne.

YAY!
At least you thought the Lovely Laura Linney and the Luckiest Woman on the Planet were great. I can deal with that.
Gross!

Oh dear. I ain't loving that.
Ew.
Guess who has tickets to attend a Liv Ullman symposium and have a disucssion with the lovely and cerebral Ms. Ullman herself.
If you haven't guessed yet, it's me.
