(of course, i saw the premiere of another movie with some famous actors, and the director and producer spoke and took Q&A *during* the movie. but only because someone had re-wound the reels wrong, and, half-way through, the movie started being shown backwards. so, they had to stop the screening while they found a projectionist to re-splice the movie, and the director and some of the actors and producers had to stand there like acrobats, trying to entertain a restless crowd, hoping to keep them from leaving the screening altogether. let's hope that doesn't happen here). if you live in or around salt lake city, provo, ogden, wherever, you might think about calling and getting tickets ahead of time. it's showing several times during the week, but its premiere is sunday the 13th. i cannot go this year, but if someone does go, let the list know what you think. worst case, even if the movie blows, it's an excuse to go to park city, which is a nice place to visit anyway. from the sundance description page: Dramatic Competition Cherish U.S.A., 2001, 100 Minutes, Color Director: Finn Taylor Executive Producer: Jeff Boortz, Laurie Miller, Steven Siebert Producers: Johnny Wow, Mark Burton Screenwriter: Finn Taylor Cinematographer: Barry Stone, CSC Editor: Rick LeCompte Production Designer: Don Day Principal Cast: Robin Tunney, Tim Blake Nelson, Nora Dunn, Jason Priestley, Brad Hunt, Lindsay Crouse, Liz Phair Finn Taylor returns to Sundance (his debut, Dream with the Fishes, bowed at the 1997 Film Festival) with this playful and cleverly subversive genre-twisting delectation. As much a thriller as a love story, Cherish is an entirely original reworking of the romantic comedy that manages to delight even while bringing you to the edge of your seat in perilous suspense. Zoe Adler is a 20-something, love-starved animator who is running away from herself and reality. She compulsively avoids being home alone and spends countless hours listening to KXCH "Cherish" radio, losing herself in a syrupy romantic fantasy of 1970s and 80s pop songs. When she manages a three-martini cocktail with the object of her latest romantic obsession, she ends up driving a hijacked car and mowing down a policeman. For this, she is unfairly incarcerated in the electronic bracelet program and is trapped in her apartment for two years. With only reclusive bracelet officer Daly to provide uneasy company, Zoe sheds her rose-colored glasses to find a new meaning for love and self-worth and becomes her own superhero when she realizes she is being stalked. At every turn, Taylor plays against genre conventions, using the sentimental tunes of Hall and Oates, Human League, and Soft Cell to imbue fantasy and crime scenes with humor and irony. Robin Tunney and Tim Blake Nelson deliver wonderful performances as lost characters who are twisted out of proportion by romantic obsession. They are the pop music monsters that Tipper Gore's parental advisory warnings failed to catch. _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 Dec 2001 22:36:02 -0500 From: "Michael Worrell" Subject: NLC: Happy New Year, etc OK, so like Happy New Year, feliz nuevo ano, and all that.
