EventsSome Came Running by Glenn Kenny

Oh dear

My old friend Tim Sheridan thinks it would be fun to run a news­pa­per. No, he thinks it would be fun to do a pan­el at the 2013 South By Southwest Festival. And he appar­ently thinks it would be fun if I appeared on this pan­el. You can help make this “fun” idea a real­ity by “lik­ing” it in South By Southwest’s “Panelpicker” fea­ture. So go, and do, and be, and see you in Austin next spring? That would be weird…

    I won­der what it takes to get cre­den­tials to cov­er the film por­tion of South by Southwest…

    Ha, hear­ing Glenn dis­cuss “The Artist” would be fun, but not in the way that link would have me believe.

  • I feel the ques­tion should be reframed as it refers primar­ily to Hollywood movies, although admit­tedly recent Bollywood and Asian films have also been going for explo­sions and car chases.

    Will sup­port if the entire thing is a road trip set to the Go-Go’s song.

    Voted. Hope to see you here next spring.

  • Wilson Smith says:

    Hope you make it down here, Glenn. I’m sure you’d dig it in Austin.

    Glenn-
    I do hope you go in some capa­city, it’s an amaz­ing fest. Even though you’ve had…errr.…*issues* with the film­makers they’ve shep­her­ded it’s an incred­ible town with a real pas­sion for ALL film. It’s just that the genre/bloggeratti seems to speak louder than the rest. Plus the people that launched out of SXSW are like, .8% of what is shown so that’s not really the way to judge it, I don’t think.
    SXSW is eas­ily my favor­ite fest on the cir­cuit next to Fantastic fest which I recom­mend you do NOT ATTEND, Then again, they have a box­ing night where you box for 3 mins then debate film top­ics for 3 mins. I seem to remem­ber a box­ing chal­lenge you made to a very tough, badass act­ing blog­ger and he quickly pussied out pretty quick. Could be an enter­tain­ing #2 event if the chal­lenge went public…
