most of the titles we won't see here

read an article today for the International Film Festival held in Toronto lately... very nice read.. but while going thru some of the reviews, i realise that most of em ain't gonna see the light of day in Bolehland..

excerpt from the article:

It’s where George Clooney (here with “Up in the Air” and “The Men Who Stare at Goats”) and Oprah Winfrey (fronting for the Sundance hit “Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire”) sell the celebrity goods, giving journalists 10 minutes of face time and sidelined fans high-wattage smiles. It’s also where Werner Herzog unveiled one of the best movies of his career (“Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans”) and one of the worst (“My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done?”).

makes u wonder how far our so called society has progressed socially and artistically. I always snicker at the anti-piracy ad in local cinemas, u know which one i'm talking about. It's got the tagline "malaysia produces great movies...." while burning a poster of .. wait for it... Cicakman....

need i say more.

so anyway, go ahead, take a read of the full article and if even half of the movies in that festival make it here, i'll put my movie downloads on hold for 2 days. heck, i may even go internet-less for a whole day ..... any takers?
