Not trying to burst your bubble, but not sure if he goes to all the film fest. Only guessing, though.

I'm guessing then, November 4. Whether he's there or not, maybe you can still go to the FF and see the movie before it comes out.

FF is?

Film Festival = FF

George doesn't go to all of them it seems most of the big ones and sometimes not even all those. It seems everywhere has a FF, I need to start one down here just to get George to visit.

Hey, why not? Just be sure it's got really good films and open with George's and present him with a special award for all around achievement in film. Hopefully he'll come. You could also make it a fundraiser for NOMW, that should draw him there.

next year?

OK!

(I was saying: wot @ some double language posts? not specular but maybe a lil resumè)

Sometimes we're just slow on the uptake. It takes a while for our deviousness to kick in. It may be too late for this year, but next year isn't that far away. We know there's Gravity, is there anything else on the slate?
