I went to see The US vs. John Lennon last saturday - nice to get some free wine at the start. It was interesting, they had some excellent interviewees including noam chomsky and Yoko and some good footage which hadn't been seen before but it did seem a bit like it was made for TV and there wasn't any new information really.
The Bridge - looked completely sold out at the NFT which I was surprised at and a little dissapointing that there wasn't anyone involved in the film there although I was a minute late so maybe at least someone from the festival introduced.
Shortbus - I was sitting across from Stephen Frears in the aisle which was quite cool even though he had nothing to do with the film. It was hilarious and had some very explicit sex scenes which I thought worked perfectly, they weren't meant to be arty like 9 songs or shocking it was just watching sex on screen like you would a conversation, it seemed quite natural or funny.
Bobby - I saw the matinee screening so there was no introduction from festival staff or cast & crew but people still applauded and cried at the end. It was very good and an interesting way of looking at Robert Kennedy and his assination. Expect many oscar nominations.
I just got back from Fast Food Nation which was very good and Richard Linklater, Eric Schlosser (the author of the book ) and some of the cast were there. It was great that they all made it especially seeing that they are doing a talk tomorrow you have to pay for and the stuff they had to say was good.
