1. Seeing The Guard with the Wife. We howled.
2. My mad dash with my friend Kiefer to see five movies in 42 hours – in five theaters in four cities. It’s described in The Movie Gourmet hits the all-you-can-eat buffet.
3. A solo sprint to see five movies in 44 hours – in three theaters in two cities: Another five movie weekend for the Movie Gourmet.
4. I didn’t see this as a highpoint at the time, but it was FAILING to get a rush ticket at the SFIF for Le Quattro Volte. In retrospect, this delayed being subjected to the coughing goatherd for a precious three-and-a-half months.
5. Listening to writer/director Kyle Smith tell my film club about the making of Turkey Bowl.
6. Finding the 1980 Werner Herzog documentary God’s Angry Man on a Dr. Gene Scott fan site.
7. Attending a preview of Cars 2 at the Pixar studio.
