ivy film festival

You should all check out the Ivy Film Festival, which will be occurring tomorrow (Monday, 9th) through Sunday the 15th.

here is the schedule
which is not actually entirely complete, as far as I know - but it's getting there.

Some of the events require tickets (mostly Wednesday night onwards), which you can buy tomorrow in the P.O. (they're actually selling out, so I would recommend it) for a dollar a piece. The Keynote and the Awards Ceremony (open bar and limo service!) are actually both free, yet still require tickets. I will be at most or all of this stuff, and I promise it will be fun, though not only for (perhaps even in despite of? - you bastards) that reason.

The documentaries playing tomorrow and Tuesday nights are preludes to the Documentary Panel on Saturday from 2:30 to 4 pm, where the directors will be speaking - supposedly these films are great, so I'd recommend checking em out to see if you want to see the directors on Saturday.

Other highlights include:

Lady Vengeance on the main green Wednesday 10 pm - 12 pm, a prelude to the director, Park Chan-wook's talk Friday at 8:30 pm in Stuart Theater. He also directed Old Boy.

Harold from Harold and Kumar (aka John Cho) speaking in fluent english Thursday at 8 pm in Stuart.

Screening of A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints (winner of Best Director in 2006 Sundance) with director Q & A: 10:30 pm Stuart, Friday night.

some stuff on Saturday, panels and crap. but good crap.

keynote address is director Doug Liman '88 (Swingers, Bourne Identity, the OC, Go) and writer Simon Kinberg (X-men 3, Mr & Mrs Smith): saturday at 6 pm, salomon 101.

awards ceremony: saturday 9 - 11 in stuart
I'm the guy who's editing the "academy awards-style film clips" that play during the announcements, so come if solely to witness my practice-sellout handicraft.
plus you can't get limo shuttled to the after party without a ticket stub from the awards ceremony.



ps: why do they make shitty tasting jelly bellys?

why can't shitty tasting jelly beans speak in fluent english and answer that question for themselves?

It's amazing how relevant that question was. My SPACE partner, Bradley, just won the ratty contest for guess how many jelly-bellys in the jar. Now i've got a coat-pocket full of jelly bellys. I put one in my mouth, it's cinammon, or liquorice, or something amazing and delicious. It makes me crave another. Then I put one in my mouth that is literally sweat flavored. Sweaty balls. And I want to kill myself. What the fuck? If there ever was anything worth fighting a revolution over, this is it.
