Quint's going to Sundance!!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here and I'm really excited. I've been co-writing the Sundance preview for the site two years running now and each year I kick myself for not attending.
Well, this year it looks like I'm finally going to Park City.
I confirmed my press credentials with the very kind and accommodating Brianna Smith today and also booked my travel. I'm in discussions to rent a Condo in Park City. All day I was doing this travel work and I just kept thinking, "I'm really going."
I've gone through the schedule a dozen times now and I've got around 51 films I want to see, 40 of those are films I really, really, really want to see and the other 11 I'm curious about. I'm also in the process of setting up some high profile interviews. Should be a crazy 9 days.
My buddy, Rav, and I will be going and reporting onsite from the 17th-25th and I'm sure we'll also have our Sundance preview up in a few days showcasing what we're really looking forward to this year.
In the meantime, the call goes out to all Sundance filmmakers. I'd love to get a jump on the fest, so if you have a movie playing and want me to check it out, please drop me an email at quint@aintitcool.com. I'd also love to hear from any veterans of Sundance who have tips and pointers on how to survive the fest. I want to hear about it all...
The plan is to have nightly reports from Rav and I. If you're at Sundance and want to write in with your thoughts, please feel free to send them in to harry@aintitcool.com. There's no way we'll be able to see all 51 movies we both WANT to see, let alone others that have snuck under our radar.
I'll be back soon with a preview of the films I'm looking in to.

If Lindsay Lohan gets within 50 feet of you, make sure you're wearing a rubber. Or two.
-
Fuck yeah! :D
-
It was old before it started. I think I speak for many of us.

Quint goes to Sundance and Herc doesn't even get an invite to the local YMCA... S'not fair...
-
yes indeed.
-
If it was up to me he'd have a b&w 13" portable, rabbit ears and a betamax...
-
I'm hoping to get a short in their short film program next year. I'd love to hear about some of the shorts, if you have time to see them. thanks, and I know you're gonna get a kick out of it. had a prof that went one year and said it was just a great time. he said his butt went numb a few times from over-sitting, and I had to laugh. let's see him try it in Austin!

you don't see Robert Redford getting herpes off Seth Green's gin and tonic glass, do you? some worlds should never cross...
-
Her 2 assets looked nicer in Herbie totally loaded back when she ate out more often. 51 Movies in 9 days and your going to post daily? WOW sounds like work but thanks for doing it for us as we would still kill to be there to. Don't forget to eat but lay off the "gassy" foods as you'll be in crowds or lines for the most part lol Yeah this whole GOTTA EAT thing should hit the boiling point here any day now...
-
you realize that you're posting a whiny nonsensical rant abotu the site being too corporate, in the talkback for the article ABOUT QUINT GOING TO SUNDANCE...where he asked any INDEPENDENT (or independAnt, as you put it) filmmakers with movies there to give him a shout.the problem with this site isn't the reviewers or contributors, it's people like you. if you're so fed up, go to a preview screening and send in your own review. they even post reviews as poorly written as your style seems to be, as long as you have something to say.so man up, or shut up. or deal with the site being what it's always been. I've been coming here for 5 years, and I haven't seen much of anything change profoundly...except for the talkback names of the useless peons that pop up with whiney flamebait like you're doing. hopefully you'll go the way of the dodo soon enough, as well...
-
Wish I was going with ya. Have fun and pace yourselves and take lots of vitamin C.
-
I think one exclamation point pretty well covers it. P.S. GOTTA EAT!
-
GOTTA EAT!
-
I worked there in 2003 & the whole thing was marred by the appearance of Britnet Frickin Spears at the Project Greenlight event!
Still, for someone from as far away as Scotland to meet cool folk such as Seth Green and Forest Whittaker not to mention get blagged into a couple of cool parties, it was one amazing experience!
Just a pity I wasn't able to get back for Brosnan's appearance last year. -
and is suposed to rock! Finally watch all of Entourage! Fan -fucking-tastic show. Now I get all the Aquafag jokes that were a few months ago! Cutting, lol. Give Ari another chance, boys!!!!
-
looking forward to your on-site updates Quint.
-
It's cold as fuck. You don't really think about that until you're there, in the mountains, waiting for a damn shuttle bus for twenty minutes. Takes you half the movie to warm up your frozen brain. Which may explain why Sundance audiences end up loving masterpieces like Real Women Have Curves and Happy, Texas. I like Toronto a hundred times better. Great city, you can walk (or take a subway) between theatres and they get a lot more premieres. Plus, you rarely end up with frostbite.
-
Haven't you figured out yet, Quint doesn't actually choose any contest winners. Just like the Superman Returns "contest" he keeps the stuff for himself then looks for another mark he can con out of free stuff with claims of a contest.
-
do it.
-
Damn you Uwe Boll!
Sorry...I couldn't resist. -
Nothing says Saturday afternoon like pissing off a bunch of sexless dorks. Don't worry, kids - at least your mom thinks you're cool. Oh, and Grandma, too.
-
was said when Parker and Stone spoofed it in that Mr. Hanky episode. Sundance has become the very antithesis of what it was intended to be. I just don't know whether to blame Redford or not.
-
Doesn't mean they're bad, though. It just means that they're full of clueless assholes who probably wouldn't know a good movie if it jumped up and bit them on their assistant's ass.
-
Not for the movies...but for the atmosphere!
-
you go for the heat!
-
...my cock!
-
Quint, Do not miss Snow Angels, In the Shadow of the Moon, The Future is Unwritten, and Hounddog. Enjoy.
-
Then maybe I should continue. Few things are funnier than a funeral.
-
Sorry about the mixup; please enjoy this complimentary bag of peanuts while we find your luggage.

I spent a few hours today going through the over 1000 jokes that were sent in for the Rocky contest. I'm down to about 300, of which I'll have about 75 to begin the hard work, getting the 5 best.I've picked a winner for the Superman Returns contest, but my contact at Weta has left and I'm making sure they'll still honor the contest. No word back in a few weeks, but I'll try again. I've gotten no Superman freebies, so don't you worry about that. I do still have the Scarface dolls in the trunk of my car from the Holiday Gift Guide, but that's just because I'm lazy and didn't want to brave the Post Office over the holidays, not because I'm bogarting the prizes.
-
oh yeah, its catching on ;)
-
I'm jealous Quint!
-
It was one of the best movies I've seen in years but the joe schmo assholes in the theatre with me all concurred it sucked because of the ending. I say it doesn't matter how misunderstood or even bad the ending is..... an ending does not a movie make. What a fucking awesome way to start a new year of film.
-
Brianna Smith is my homegirl, she and I's gonna be rollin. So Quint, if you meet her there, say hi to the sleazy looking weirdo that will most likely be hanging around. That will be me. Shits gonna rock out.
-
For I knew nothing of this competition. I only know one joke anyway, which can be modified to last between five minutes and seven hours, and really only works in verbal form. I save it for bus journeys and German operas. Quint, enjoy Sundance. I'm going to Cannes this year, which will actually involve both sun and dancing, but anyway, enjoy all that snow and freezing mountain air, fella.
-
Nope... mine's a different joke, but similar in that the middle part is where you embellish, go off on tangents, bring in subplots and supporting characters and even add background music, if you have a handy guitar.Berlinale, eh? That's irritatingly close to me and yet too soon for what me and my buddies have planned for Cannes. Enjoy yourself, fella: German beer, or Berlin Ale if you like, is the best in the world. Also you might appreciate all those motion picture things they're showing.I hope these paragraph breaks work.And by the way, 'tis Mr Nicely... yes, it's a name, not an instruction.
-
did not suck. I thought it was pretty great and that the film as a whole was FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC. Why do people say it sucked?
