Among other things, trying to get through "screeners" for the Independent Spirit Awards. Have found quite a few to be of great merit, but still have the feeling of dread. At this point, would like to see some movies which filled me with happiness. Instead, there are several movies which are barely disguised lectures. Now, who am i to dislike lectures? My whole performance career amounted to one long lecture! But still, i'd like a little more humor, more vivacity, more joie de vivre! Is that too much to ask nowadays?
