Thursday, July 19, the Telluride Flm Festival presented WAITRESS and every seat (but one) was filled. And we turned away at least 50 people. So we will be bringing it back in August for a few days so everyone who missed it can see it. Those who did get to see it said it was a brilliant film, worth seeing twice! So stay tuned…
Please join us for this special event sponsored by the owners of the Nugget Building, the owners of the Nugget Theatre and the owners of the Telluride Watch newspaper. EVAN ALMIGHTY stars Steve Carell (40-Year-Old Virgin, Little Miss Sunshine) in a Noah’s Ark reworking that also stars Morgan Freeman as God and John Goodman as a shady senator. It is directed by Tom Shadyac and there will be a couple-of-minute Valley Floor thank you video before the show, produced by TCTV, that should also be alot of fun. The weekend screenings (6 & 8 PM on Fri, Sat & Sun and 4 PM on Sat) are FREE to all Nothing Festival Participants 
but we will be giving out tickets anyway so we can do a drawing before every show so be on time! See you there.
I’m going to have to watch HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX again a couple of times because last night (opening night) I was just noting what they left out and what was different. But it was a very good rendering of the Book 5 and I loved how Sirius’ house, the Room of Requirement and the Ministry of Magic looked. It is so interesting to watch these kids grow up in their parts. I really like how Neville is growing up and how Luna was portrayed. Jim, who doesn’t read the books, seemed to be able to follow the story pretty well with only a few questions. I hope JK Rowling is as pleased as I have been with how things are going movie-wise.
