A few quick links to check out when you're not busy perusing all the exciting festival updates over at AICN:
~ My review for a rather staggering film I caught with Yen this afternoon that may make it to my top ten list at the end of the year (and no, it's not Shaun Of The Dead, which we caught last night and was terrific in its own right -- and it was a lot of fun to dress up as zombies beforehand).
~ Roger Ebert's new site, with complete -- and gloriously cross referenced -- archives of every review he's ever written.
~ An interesting glimpse of Roger Avary's writing process -- albeit for a videogame movie. Oh well, I'd do the same thing for the money or for a friend or both.
~ My new Gmail address, which is cool and all but will remain unused by me until Google provides POP3 accessibility -- which I don't know if they will, since that would seem to go against the archival intentions of the entire enterprise. But if you have any big files to send me (I've got room for 5 minutes of uncompressed DV in my inbox!), I guess this is the address to do it.
~ Kat Candler obsesses over going to New York for IFP. I'm envious. I'll be there in just three months, although not for any film purposes. I can't wait to walk through Union Square (my favorite junction, because it's only a few blocks from the vegan cafe I like) while snow falls all around. I need to buy some new winter clothes. I've given serious thought to not coming back.
~ I was going to link to something over at IndieWire, but their site seems to be down at the moment. I'll take care of it tomorrow. I'll have more opportunities for contextual segues then, anyway.
