Tonight, I had the great opportunity to catch a book signing with David Thomson. I don't know how I've managed to have been interested in film for so long and have no idea who this man was until just a couple of days ago when I came across this great opinion piece of his about Hollywood being too chickenshit to do anything overtly political these days. I read it on my Visor and his email address was listed so I of course figured I'd drop him an email and let him know about Washington Interns Gone Bad. Then as I was looking through the latest Citypaper, what do I see but a book signing at Olssons! It turned out to be a discussion between Thomson and Leon Wieseltier, literary editor for New Republic. If I had known he would have been there, I would have brought another copy of the movie and a press kit, but he did get one of Elizabeth's business cards with the URL on it. During their conversation, I was getting more and more intimidated about giving a film like mine to a hardcore film scholar like this guy, and I was pretty nervous going up and talking to him, but when I handed him the press kit, there was a spark of recognition. He had gotten the email! I don't know what will ever come of this, but it was still pretty cool and now I have an autographed copy of the latest edition of A Biographical Dictionary Of Film. Also, I just posted a silly animated gif of Anne being silly while we were snowed in last week.
