Love this kind of festival coverage. Whetting the appetite. One note: I believe the Gamestop movie is coming out on Friday. Must have gotten bumped up in the schedule. Stonks!
I loved reading the novel “Erasure.” It is so wicked and delicious. Every author dreams of writing a savage satire like this. What a treat to anticipate the movie!
Remember when we met at TIFF and I told you that the word on the street was that AMERICAN FICTION would win the Audience Award? Well, it did! I didn't believe it would. I was so sure Taika Waititi's garbage movie NEXT GOAL WINS would take it. Chalk that up to my cynicism (and the audience's reactions to both films--NEXT GOAL's audience acted like Waititi was God, even though he acted like a coked-up stockbroker and repeatedly punched the shit out of the microphone during his introduction and broke it).
The Audience Award is a nice boost for a movie that's going to need it. And I wasn't surprised DICKS: THE MUSICAL won the Midnight Madness award. I was at that midnight world premiere and the audience went berserk for it. I almost feel bad for giving it **1/2.

These are great snapshots of coming attractions. I'm especially thrilled there will be a new Miyazaki film.
Thanks!!!
Waiting for you to see Perfect Days. Saw American Fiction today and agree it was very good. Saw Quiz Lady too...
