SXSW tends to have some of the best bumpers of an film festival I've been to. This year they outdid themselves in terms of number of unique ones produced. That doesn't seem like a big deal, but when you see 30+ movies in less than a week (or near 100 in the case of SIFF) just picture how boring it can be to see the same bit over and over again. Each of this year's bumpers was based on the theme "How not to be lame at SXSW" - and then proceeded for the most part to present people being a bit lame. Think of it as the anti-pattern bumper approach. Looks like the festival is going to trickle them out slowly. First one became available today. Thankfully it's also one of my favorites - though I dug them all (with one possible exception).
Kudo's SXSW people, for reminding me how awesome a time I had in Austin, and how I'd so rather be back there right now. ;-)
A collection of my idiosyncratic thoughts & film reviews. I find spending time sitting in the dark watching far too many films back to back a deeply relaxing experience.
International, Indy, Hollywood, Vampires - I have very flexible tastes...
