Sundance

Wednesday's Holiday Party was fun. It was at Social Bar and then we headed over to Scruffy Duffy. #2 picked me up, brought me a menorah and we lit together. He then put together my bed, which looks really good. We were together for about 2.5 hours and I had a good time with him.
Last night I saw The Spitfire Grill (1996). "A pretty ex-convict with a mysterious background relocates to a small Maine town where she stirs up controversy while working at a local diner in this winner of the 1996 Sundance Film Festival Audience Award. Alison Elliott delivers a "remarkably nuanced performance" (The Hollywood Reporter) as the young woman in search of a second chance. Ellen Burstyn co-stars as the Grill's reserved owner whose decision to take the girl's advice and sell the place via an essay contest sparks an uproar. Also with Marcia Gay Harden (Pollock) and Will Patton (The Mothman Prophecies). Written and directed by Lee David Zlotoff." I read that there is a play that had its debut in 2001 and is much better and has a happier ending. I also read reviews that compared to Percy to a Christ figure, but I didn't think it was that blatant cuz I didn't even think of it until I read the reviews and I'm not even sure I buy it.
I have to start watching more Sundance Film Festival films, they're good and artsy...just what I like.
