Usually I would be blogging from the Sundance Film Festival right about now. Not this year. And I gotta say, I'm fine with being home. I've made the trip the last nine years, and have enjoyed it immensely (despite my tendency to get a cold every other year, kind of like the way the Spurs win NBA titles). But lodging gets more costly every time - more attendees + ski hamlet that can't hold everyone = high prices - and this year my usual roommate decided not to go either. Plus, I've often wondered how much value the trip is to the paper, and to my time as a critic. Example: One of my favorite films from last year's fest, Grace is Gone, opens here next week - a mere 11 months after the fact. It even picked up a new Clint Eastwood score along the way. I'll be at SXSW in March, and I may very well return to snowy, cold as a (fill in your witch's anatomy part) Utah in 2009. But this year I'm more than happy to sleep in my own bed. |
