Who wants to camp out at Lincoln Center with me early early early Sunday morning for film festival tickets?

The schedule of films won't be announced to the public until the Sunday Times (which of course we all grab on Saturday night to strategize tickets). The films, but not when they are showing are listed here: http://www.filmfestivaltoday.com/article_item.asp?ID=902

As poorly received as the new Marie Antoinette has been, I am so there. This is the type of car crash that interests me. Volver, which I would get tickets for, I already have advance access to through SAG, so I'll just go to their screening (which is good, because it's the Centerpiece this year, which means tickets are impossible). If I can manage an opening night ticket for The Queen, I'll get one, but I'm not crazed to see the film in question, although Mirren is always great.

Others I may get tickets to if it works in my schedule are:
The Journal of Knud Rasmussen
Paprika
Les Amities Malefiques

I'm in.

Okay, I have a hell weekend that's probably going to involve me either going to be really early Saturday or just showing up at Lincoln Center around 4am and wasted, I haven't actually decided yet. Have you done this before? (I ask in terms of how long my strategy email to you should be).

Actually, I've avoided it over the years (long story); I was thinking I'd just call you tomorrow, and we'd go from there, but strategy e-mail works, too.

I'm of mixed opinions on Marie Antoinette...

I want to see it just for the costumes. (I'm a costume h0r.)

I like the *idea* of Kirsten Dunst speaking in a modern accent, but from the trailer that I've seen, it totally throws the scenes off. Everyone's speaking in some sort of accent that defines the movie as Elsewhere and Elsewhen, and she sounds like she just came in from shopping in SoHo. Ow, my brainmeats!!

On the other hand, it looks like a fun movie.
