Let's all go to the movies, let's all go to the movies...

This is the weekend of the annual Virginia Film Festival, one of the reasons I love Charlottesville so much. It's our eighth or ninth festival and they're always worthwhile, we've seen Sigourney Weaver (tall), Larry Flynt (short), and listened to Roger Ebert give a workshop on "The Birds" (interesting). This year the guest of honor was Sandra Bullock, but we'd have to watch "Speed" again to see her, so screw that...

Yesterday we caught Days of Heaven, Terence Malick's film about watching flies fuck, no wait, that's just what the film felt like. We also saw Birth, which may be the absolutely oddest film I've ever seen. I'm not saying don't see it, but...it's creepy. We can discuss (and spoil) the film in the comments section if you like.
