update on Asia Argento's adaptation of JT Leroy's The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things --- it's fuckin' playing at the Festival du nouveau cinéma in Montreal!!! get your ass on over to the Cinéma du Parc tomorrow, tuesday, or wednesday to catch it. i'd go tomorrow but it's playing at 9:40 pm and i'm not bringing my mom and her boyfriend over to that film :)

other extremely notabe presentations at this truly under-hyped festival include:
Shane Carruth's Primer, grand jury prize winner at Sundance.
Spike Lee's She Hate Me
Mike Leigh's Vera Drake
what the hell? Sean Penn and Naomi Watts re-team for Niels Mueller's The Assassination of Richard Nixon
Robert Greenwald's Uncovered: The War on Iraq and Unconstitutional: The War on Our Civil Liberties
Todd Solondz' Palindromes. with Solondz present october 18 and 19!
Olivier Assayas' Clean opened the festival. the film won wife Maggie Cheung the best actress award at Cannes.

guests at the festival include: Denys Arcand, Olivier Assayas, Catherine Breillat, Peter Greenaway, and Jean Leloup.

Jason effectively (and effortlessly, i might add) takes down the new W Stands for Women line that the Bush campaign is quickly trying to throw out there. i guess they got some kind of new data on women being able to vote now.

BestBuy.ca is open for business.
