The Buzz

There is this phenomenon called the Sundance Buzz. It’s a beautiful thing. See, because the bus system is used by everyone at the festival, including big wigs (Tarantino) and nobodies (me), talk of the best and worst films spreads like wildfire. No matter what you come wanting to see, you will know whether or not to look forward to seeing it pretty quick. The film you thought you’d hate, you’ll hear is a can’t miss, while the one you were pining for turns out a real fart. It can be very frustrating. Sometimes you are stuck with a film that plain sucks.

So far I haven’t heard of any loser tickets in my possession, but I hear there are a few that I can’t see that are supposedly life-changing.
So it goes in Sundance.
