The film festival announced it’s full lineup yesterday, and today the newspapers are trumpeting the imminent arrival of Hollywood A-listers (Christ, I can’t believe I just used that term). The list of movies I want to keep an eye on is up to about 30, and I haven’t even gotten my bible yet. Dang…how are we going to keep it to just 5 films this year!!?!?
Despite last night’s anti-Scorsese rant, the film I think I want to see the most is No Direction Home: Bob Dylan. Whatever issue I have with most of his films, The Last Waltz is brilliant work so I’m anxious to see if he can replicate it. Plus, on the off chance that Dylan shows up, it could be pretty cool to see those two up on stage answering questions…I don’t think anyone would understand a word they said.
