Yer right. I normally hate people doing that sorta thing too - asking a question. I berated someone for doing it just days ago. *Hangs head in shame and flings himself off of cliff*

Dammit! There's a crapload there that I wanna see! Can anyone answer this then: how long are we seeing these movies before their official release? How long would I have to wait for the likes of Monster, 21 Grams, the Dreamers, the House of Sand and Fog ... before we gots them in regular screens?

Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.

I did both - now less of yr lip.

Usually a couple of months, six tops.

The ticket price is dearer it's €8 a pop and it'll go on general release in a few weeks time.

The films you should be making an effort to see IMO are the films that might not get a release here even in the screen or IFI

That being said

Capturing the Friedmans

Battle Royale 2 (sweet)

Grand theft Parson

look cool.

Hot tip if you're broke, and free. Volunteer It's a few hours a day, (usually stuffing envelopes, etc) and you get to see all the films for free

nerraw

21 grams
Monster - I think its the dramatised version of Aileen life and death etc
Osama
Fog of War
Vodka lemon sounds good

SweetBirdOfTruth

booked for

the cat's meow
the barbarian invasions
the dreamers
bl,m
zatoichi
the tulse luper suitcases

meant to book for the saddest music, but forgot, so have to go back.

might book for
sex and lucia
lovers of the arctic circle
the clay bird
the company

but there's another dozen or so i'd like to see as well.

curiously, none of the oisish ones grab my attention much. and given that last year's festival closer was goldfish memory, i'm not betting that this year's closing flick will be half as good as you hope it will be.

a lot of the films on do seem to be ones that will be here in march/april - most of them i'm willing to wait for, but there are a few i'd like to see early.

Samson

So far I've booked for:
Monster
The Best of Youth
The Fog of War
Blind Flight

Still researching the rest of the offerings.

I was thinking of taking a chance with the suprise film. Anyone got any experience with same, are they usually worth seeing?

DiscoStu

i think i might go see zatoichi and battle royale 2.

A good sprinkling of Telluride films here i would recommend;

The Barbarian Invasions:
moving death of a liberal (cancer) brings family and friends together to analyse what has brought them to the death of father and friend and and the world from Vietnam to 9/11

I'm not scared
Italian cinema at it's best. Idyllic cornfields, childhoods, kidnap and murder. Excellent.

Japanese Story
Toni Collete was feted at Telluride for her achievements on film and for this film. A masterful two-hander character piece set in the Outback.

Love me if you dare
If you were charmed by Amelie, you will love this dark comedy. Funny and cruel, an tale of childhood sweethearts who grow up not so sweet.

Also...

Best of Youth:
383 min (yikes!!! 20 minute interval!!!!) This should be a 2 part-er. I skipped at Telly but film heroes sat this 6.5 hour long movie out and raved about not cutting a minute of it. Best value at least.


Fog of War:
Osama


but best is...

Distant

this film was stunningly introduced at Telluride by Ken Burns, who told us to put aside our every shred of impatience, as the first hour of this movie is 'like watching the dust settle on furniture'. Strongly in the tradition of Tarkovsky, for those with the will to sit in stillness, this film silently tears it's way into your heart.

Distant is the turmoil of a man whose world is already torn apart, silently falling through the cracks. This is the antithesis of a chick-flick. I dare every man to sit through this and recognise themselves. Outstanding.

SweetBirdOfTruth

samson - might see you at best of youth. i'm hoping they give out badges that say "i survived a six hour sub-titled film"
