the LA film fest is going on around the city pretty much without me. sure, it would have been cool to catch before sunrise or garden state a month early, but all the good stuff is sold out anyway i think.

which makes me wary about trying to get into one that’s been labelled a ‘free screening’ on their site. it could be because they don’t expect the filmgoers will want to go to more than one strongly political documentary, and everyone cool already went to the michael moore screening tuesday. i hope that’s the case, since i will be attempting to show up for the hunting of the president instead tonight at the regent showcase down la brea. let’s see that right wing attack machine at work! how dare our (intelligent, capable) president have sexual indiscretions. who wouldn’t much rather have an (inarticulate, damaging, fundamentalist) good ol’ christian boy running the show?

it’d sure be a shame if it was already full; i’d have to walk the whole five blocks back to my apartment like a chump.
