Matt Zoller Seitz has written the best review (plus some) of The New World I've read yet. I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking about Resnais while watching it.
Kat's film got into SXSW! Between that, the world premiere of a new Altman picture and the first public screening of a great film I've already seen (but which hasn't been announced as part of the lineup yet), it's pretty much a guarantee I'll be ponying up for a badge this year, even if Some Analog Lines isn't selected.
I've been trying to clean up two old screenplays this weekend, prior to sending them out to some folks and then getting started on the new one. About all I've managed to accomplish is chopping twelve pages out of one of them; I can't remember the last time I've procrastinated this much. I either need a typewriter or the courage to yank the ethernet cable out of the back of this comptoir.

Alas, these entry fees run me raw.

I'm still waiting to hear from SXSW about The Proper Care & Feeding of an American Messiah. The waiting is killing me! But hopefully I'll get in and get a chance to meet you in person...

if you get a film into the festival do you still have to buy a badge?
(thanks for the link to that new world review too, it's great!)

No purchase necessary; all filmmakers get badges. It's a pretty sweet deal. And even if you don't get in, anyone who submitted a film can buy one for a pretty reasonable price (150 bucks instead of 350, or something like that).
