Not playing while I'm there. Otherwise it would be #1.

I hate whomever is responsible for the press schedule. I have to choose between the Dardennes and Egoyan, plus Winterbottom and Arriaga; Denis and Wong Kar-Wai and Linklater. And by making the decision to go with the Dardennes or Egoyan, I had to eliminate Spike Lee. Brutal.

Did I mention I've already seen Synecdoche, New York?

Sometimes I just gotta be obnoxious and point stuff like this out, sorry.
