Emmet got back from the
New York screening of
Building A House and
it seems to have gone well. Haven't talked to him yet but he seems to have enjoyed himself. Also, when he got back
our acceptance into Cork Film Festival was waiting for him.
Cork's a pretty big deal for us and not just because it's home territory. It also happens to be one of, if not the number one festivals for short films in the world. We'll be entered in the
Made In Cork programme, which Ed won last year. I'm looking forward to this because I really haven't been to the festival in years, I don't think I even went to see
The Lump when it was screened, and I used to really enjoy it. I remember(I use the word in the loosest definition) my eighteenth birthday at the festival and going to see
Fear of a Black Hat, which we thought was the funniest film of all time but, all things considered and consumed, we'd probably have laughed at
The Pledge. For news of the screening times, you'll just have to keep checking back on the
blog.

Fear of the Black Hat really was one of the worst movies ever made.
I recommended it to so many people at the time, they invariably gave me a lot of grief when they ultimately saw it. I don't think Jesper will ever forgive me for inflicting it on him.
Shit sandwich.
Yes, it was quite the collective delusion. It was years later before I saw it again and, while I realised it wasn't ever going to be as good as we thought it was, I was stunned at how fucking atrocious it actually was. There are probably a few films I won't ever watch again because I'd rather remember for what they seemed to be, than what they actually are. I doubt any of them would be as disappointing as Fear of a black hat though.
if only there was a way to make the film we thought we saw...
Yeah, I'm guessing none of us actually saw the same film...or thought we saw or what have you
however, my film was brilliant
