I miss the SIFF
I’m not much a movie person – but I do enjoy film.
When I lived in Seattle, a highlight every year was the Seattle International Film Festival. For three and a half weeks, any social / work / me-work plans were peppered with plans to attend various films being shown by the SIFF. Usually when I watch something at home, I have to be doing something else. Anime or other foreign films with subtitles are especially problematic – they have to be especially good for me to partake, given they require my visual attention. (For example, Ghost in the Shell). Going to the theatre – I have to really want to see the movie before I’ll do that.
Guess I’ll have to check out the SFIFF later this year: http://www.sffs.org/sf-intl-film-festival.aspx
There don’t seem to be [m]any sites that let people come together around movies. Flixster doesn’t seem to fit the bill (not in the same way that I use Goodreads for books, anyway. The Auteurs comes closer, but doesn’t have everything.
Hm.
