EbertFest 8 2006

This week is EbertFest in Champaign-Urbana, which means for us movie buffs, all work comes to a screeching halt while we overdose on underappreciated films. See http://www.ebertfest.com for the official site.

Some friends of mine are doing an EbertFest blog this year, and they have graciously allowed me to soil their site with any random thoughts I may have about the movies or the festival. It is at http://ebertfest.blogspot.com/.

Mentioning this here is like building a pipeline between two dry lakes, but since virtual pipes in cyberspace are cheap and plentiful, there is no reason not to.

Update: Boy, this is exhausting, watching 3 films a day and trying to keep up with saying something even remotely interesting about them. But it is exhilirating as well. I'm happy to be included. I'm not going to cross-post any reviews here, so you'll need to go to http://ebertfest.blogspot.com/ to see them.

Last Update: Here are links to my EbertFest postings:
