Ralph, Luis and I bought passes to the Provincetown Film Festival this year. Here we are at the high school for the opening night movie, which was Madonna's directorial debut and the North American Premier of "Filth and Wisdom." The movie was not as bad as I was expecting, but it also wasn't good. I think the message of the movie was one must get in touch with his inner slut before he can ever gain wisdom and ultimately freedom. I think Madonna should stay away from movies.
The Festival's Opening Night Party was at the Crown & Anchor. By the time we got there, it was not very crowded, but I was happy to see Ellie there, dancing to the band. Ellie was the focus of one of the short films this year at the festival, which described his transition from evangelical minister to female street performer, living her dream. (although I could have done without seeing her penis at Showgirls...twice!)
On Saturday night, we went to the awards ceremony where we saw one of my favorite actresses, Jane Lynch ("Best in Show", "40-Year Old Virgin") receive one of the awards. She mentioned that Christopher Guest does not want to do another film, which if true, is very sad.
Gael García Bernal then received an acting award. He was so sweet, and so hot. He is much shorter than I was expecting, but he was very genuine and has made many excellent films for being in his twenties. When he accepted his award, he started to cry and could only get out, "I feel like Miss Mexico or something."
The highlight of the night was Quentin Tarantino being interviewed by John Waters. The two of them were hilarious and they played off of each other very well. John asked him about his foot fetish, because all of Quentin's movies have extended shots of feet. Quentin first denied the fetish, but then admitted that feet do it for him. An audience member asked what the best gift a fan ever gave him. He replied, "Pussy." He also said that he just finished writing his next movie, "Inglorious Bastards" and was proofreading it on the Cape Air flight into Ptown. I could have listened to the two of them talk all night.
