Coin Toss

"1958. It's been traveling 22 years to get here. And now it's here. And it's either heads or tails. And you have to say. Call it." -No Country for Old Men

Hardcore HP

"Eric Hansen is assembling and coaching an Outside team that will compete in the Quidditch World Cup, held November 12-13 on Randall's Island in New York. Yes, it's incredibly nerdy -- that' why Hansen is leaping in with broomsticks flying." -a snippet of the funniest e-mail I've received in a while. Anyone in the NY area want to try out?

Amelia

"The view is too vast and lovely for words. I think I am happy -- sad admission of scant intellectual equipment. I am getting housemaid's knee kneeling here at the table gulping beauty." -Amelia Earhart. Just finished watching Amelia last night; cute film, although I thought Richard Gere was a little too old to play George Putnam...

Just found out there's going to be a sequel. Hooray!

Curious

"Being a vegetarian in prison is like being a whore in church. Everybody looks at you funny, but they all want to ask questions in private." -Charlie Engle, of Running the Sahara fame (although clearly he's found other ways to make himself known since then).

National Velvet

In honor of Elizabeth Taylor.

Descent

"Though the movie sometimes focused on team rivalry and the need for speed, its real power came from four powerful narratives that had little to do with miles per hour or placing." -My Hood to Coast review is up on OutsideOnline!

Coasting

"The idea was that 12 people would divide themselves into two groups of six, run three legs each and cover the nearly 200 mile distance from the mountain to the ocean." -premise behind the Hood to Coast doc.

Am I Mad?

"You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are." -Alice of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. Watched it Sunday night; cute film.

Every Little Bit Counts

"Ninety-nine is not 100." -a good thought from Waste Land, the stand out documentary at True/False 2010. Recycilng one can does make a difference.

Hug-a-phobic

"Are you going to hurt me?" -a Teletubby questions Matt as he offers her a hug at the True/False parade. Who volunteers to be a Teletubby and is afraid of (friendly) strangers?!

Good Impressions

"You're my favorite couple that comes into Sparky's." -a Sparky's employee pays me and Matt a compliment on Friday night at the True/False @ction party. Perhaps this is a sign we eat too much ice cream.


Apparently, the Missourian thought we were pretty cool as well ... our photo (above) made the front page :)

Columbia Love

True/False Film Fest 2010 - "Miniature City" from Boxcar Films on Vimeo.

Film Festival

"For any documentarian, True/False is nirvana. You walk down the street of Columbia, Mo., and you are stopped by students and secretaries, college professors and construction workers, and they all want to talk to you about your film — the intricacies of its subject and the aesthetic choices made. This is the way it's supposed to be and never is: the town lives and breathes docs." -Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney.

Three movies down, ten more to go... :)

Food, Inc.

"The irony is that the average consumer does not feel very powerful. They think that they are the recipients of whatever industry has put there for them to consume. Trust me, it's the exact opposite. Those businesses spend billions of dollars to tally our votes. When we run an item past the supermarket scanner, we're voting." -Stonyfield Farm founder Gary Hirshberg, as quoted in Food Inc. (a film that will make you think/gag about food production in this country).

On a related note, looking forward to Taste of the Market this evening!
