Hey so I’m off to the Sundance Film Festival. Here’s my problem with Sundance: It’s supposed to be “independent” but now everything there is commercial! For example, all the movies showing this year are infomercials.

Expected to win the dramatic competition is a film by Xavier Jurdenfarge (Germany) called Infomercial for Ajax Dishwasher Doo-Doo starring Tilda Swinton, Gael Garcia Bernal and Barge Michaelson (Squid & the Whale).

The other big buzz feature is the sophomore effort of 2003 Sundance Wunderkind Blarry Seemsteen (Chances Are), a psychological thriller called Infomercial for Lemon Scented Ajax Dishwasher Doo-Doo. In today’s Variety, Seemsteen said “I was thrilled to have the opportunity to make this movie, because all you do is spread the lemon doo-doo on your dishes and they come out of the dishwasher smelling like fresh lemon poop.”

Here’s a great song for the holidays by Craig, Meggan and co.

Also what a weird church sign I saw this morning:

Also – here’s Ken Webb’s student film from 1993, The Waiters
