One Cut Down...
To celebrate finishing the first cut of Ciao, Yen and I are going to a press screening of The Fountain today. Of course, I'd be going to see The Fountain today regardless of whether we had finished the cut, but it's nice to assign a reason to things.
The film, at this point, is 86 minutes. We already know we'll be taking at least two minutes out, and then putting almost the same number back in. Add closing credits (but no title sequence - it's not that sort of movie) and we should end up right around 90. A really, really good 90 minutes. I'm burning a DVD of it right now so Yen can review it over the weekend. We're going to wait until the second cut is done before we let anyone else see it but, with a picture lock deadline of January 15th, I'd wager that we're 75% of the way there already.

I'm curious to see what you think of The Fountain. I really liked it but general response seems to be pretty mixed. Can we expect a review?

I'll share my thoughts on it, Bryan, but I don't know if I'll write a full review. I'm going to see it again on Thanksgiving, probably. I've been following it for so closely for so long now that, having seen it, I don't really feel like writing about it! Except to say, at least, that I, also, really liked it.
