SXSW 2008: Michael Eisner and Mark Cuban

Right now, in a room across the hall from where I'm sitting right now, Mark Cuban is moderating a discussion with Michael Eisner. So why am I sitting in here instead of over there? Because the room is at capacity, and about 30 people are waiting in a line outside the door in attempt to get in as people leave.
I've been to many a panel here at SXSW, and the procedure has always been just show up and walk in. This one's the first one that I've ever seen closed off to more viewers.
So I'm sorry, dear readers, to be failing you today. But the good news is that the festival will release video and audio of all the panels on its Web site in the near future. Maybe me and the rest of the poor souls who didn't get in will get together for a watching party.

SXSW 2008: Forgetting Sarah Marshall

Last year, Universal brought the Judd Apatow comedy Knocked Up to SXSW, creating a buzz that propelled it to one of the biggest comedy hits of the year. And the studio seems to be sticking to the formula, as its Forgetting Sarah Marshall, also produced by Apatow, had its world premiere Monday night at the Paramount Theatre.
As much as I loved Knocked Up (it made my top 10 list this year), Forgetting Sarah Marshall is at least its equal.
