SFIFF 2013: Awesome
After all that windup, it's time for the big letdown! Because, honestly, everyone has different taste. Hey, me at some age would have gotten a kick out of that Full Monty ripoff movie. I'm just too bitter and old to watch Terence Stamp be bitter and old now!
ANYWAY, this movies look really fun:
A Conversation with Richard Linklater
Not actually a movie. But there's plenty of Linklater having conversations with himself in his movies (besides the Bad News Bears remake), so except for the fact that the redhead dream girl from Waking Life won't be there, this should be just as good.
Deceptive Practice: The Mysteries and Mentors of Ricky Jay
This one would pair nicely with "Murch" from a few years ago. They both cover the art of telling people what they're going to see, and telling them what they're seeing.
Much Ado about Nothing
Whedon does Shakespeare - you doth have to be curious, right? Also, the music track on the trailer is fantastic. Yes it has Captain Tightpants.
Peaches Does Herself
Frankly, this one might be a bit self-indulgent.
Rent a Family Inc.
This one seems to creepily cringeworthy to be true, so I have to see it. The company is Japanese, of course.
Waxworks
This is the accompanied silent film this year, with a bunch of good players. I suspect this will also be creepy, but in a good way.
