Twizzlers for Breakfast
Great news! The Zellner Brothers' Goliath (which I reviewed here) is now available on demand through IFC Festival Direct. I'm imagining a sixteen year-old version of me, excited about the possibilities of independent film, stumbling upon this movie late at night and having his mind blown in only the way that tiny, indescribable little films that feel like secrets accidentally stumbled upon can manage. Isn't there's something about cable broadcasts that somehow engender some sort of mystique? In this age of instant cinematic gratification, the fact that it's not available for me to own right this instant is actually sort of thrilling. Probably moreso for me, since I've never been a cable subscriber, and have no plans to start.
Other good news: St. Nick is now down to 89 minutes. Acting on a nagging whim, I chopped out a major sequence, just to see how the film worked without it - and thought, upon screening it for a few folks, that it worked exceedingly well.
Not so good news: I've eaten more candy in the past few days than I have in years.

I warned you about the candy peer pressure.
