Sundance recap:
Sundance ended on a good note both for the festival and for me. A bunch of awards were given out Saturday night but the one I hope the most people pay attention to is the Audience award for Best Documentary. Audience awards in general are the only ones I care about because fans pick. This year BUCK won. Buck is the documentary about the guy who The Horse Whisperer is based on. Buck Brannaman trains horses like people should be trained to treat each other. Go see Buck.
Personally my final few days were rough til Friday night. Understand this about Sundance, they front load the festival with all of the movies. Wednesday and Thursday are a ghost town if you're looking to meet celebs. Literally I saw 5 stars both days combined including Robert Redford but he doesn't stop for fans. Ever. The final Friday of the festival they give us one big star studded premiere. This year it was Son of No One with Channing Tatum, Katie Holmes, Ray Liotta and Al Pacino. Al never showed but the other 3 did. Katie never stopped but Channing and his actress wife did and they were AWESOME!
Just after that one Sundance had a bonus final film (usually they don't do this but man was I glad they did) with Patrick Dempsey called Flypaper. Patrick showed up took bunches of pics, welcomed the audience and didn't stay for the Q and A after. Flypaper is this generations CLUE. It was wall to wall funny. If they could have left out the "F" word it would be a PG-13 max but Hollywood loves unnecessary profanity.
My biggest celeb gets this year were Ashton, Demi, Patrick Dempsey, Channing Tatum, Andie Macdowell, James Franco and Rita Wilson. My favorite to talk to were Nick Kroll, Rutger Hauer, Maria Menunos, Fred Stoller, Danny Glover, Rob Lowe, Jeremy Piven and Buck Brannaman.
Everyone asks me who the biggest jerk was and this year it was EASY to say Alan Arkin. He's a crabby old man who never plays a happy person because he's not one.
Ok well until next year GO SEE BUCK.
