Hello, sweet darlings. I’ve been SIFF-ing my little brains out—interviews and parties and premiers all over the damn place (as usual!)—but the time has come for me to reach out from my dizzy morass of glamor and fame (or, “glame”) to inform you of one or two small things. (I just MUST!) Small thing the first: The film Spring Breakdown is hysterical and fun and stars the entire cast of “Saturday Night Live” (plus Parker Posey!) and it would have made a far stronger Opening Night kick-off film than the cumbersome and flawed In The Loop thing that the SIFF Gods chose instead (which was much like Trainspotting-meets-Wag the Dog). SNL star Rachel Dratch was even at last night’s screening at the Neptune! (You can read my interview with her tonight on Line Out, so look for it.)

Small thing the second: Since you already tragically missed Spring Breakdown, and Rachel Dratch, you must, have to, and will see this incredibly awesome documentary…

I’ve watched it twice already, and I can’t get enough of it. Fortunately, you haven’t missed it, it screens TONIGHT at 6:45PM At the Egyptian Theater on Capitol Hill. I’ll be there. So see it! See it! SEE IT! And just try NOT to fall in love with Johnny Weir.

I dare you.

  2. People are so split on Spring Breakdown. Some passholders walked out, but some people are calling it “hysterical and fun”.

    It had a few laughs but shouldn’t have played SIFF.
