If not, he should.

Film Festival, and my list of films to see includes Laurel Canyon, Wendy and Lucy, The Eternal City, The Hustler, and, on closing night, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kit and Wild Combination: a Portrait of Arthur Russell. I wish I were seeing more international films, so I'll try to add to this list as/if I get more time!

The Laurel Canyon with Frances McDormand and Christian Bale? I saw that in the theater and liked it. It's what a friend of mine and I call SBL -- smart but light.

I'll have to admit, when I read your first post, I was confused. What? A movie starring Jean-Claude Van Damme? Have oilgun's reliably high standards suddenly plummeted?
But after reading the review and watching the trailer, I get it. In fact, it's like I'm one of the characters in the movie. It is on my list of must-sees.

That's funny, thank you SC! I never thought I would ever rush to a Van Damme movie on opening day! Mind you, I do like some of his action movies but only as guilty pleasures.

Yes, that's the one. McDormand is one a my favorite actors and I missed it during its commercial run.
Wendy and Lucy stars our Michelle Williams.

We should git you out a those oilfields and into the movie theater on a regular basis, on a professional basis!

Are you calling me a Roughneck?! I like it! I'm afraid I'm not a TIFF programmer (I wish!), but I'll come clean, I'm actually Jean-Claude Van Damme! ;D
Thanks for the kind words FR, and have fun at the film fest!

Oh well, in that case, I'll call you a Roustabout and a Scalawag!! I had a wonderful time at the fest, enjoyed so much meeting Wally Pfister, and I'll write it all down as soon as I come down off my cloud!!
