CT Film Fest Kicks Off Dec. 5

Posted by chainsaw under CT Film Fest 2009

This year’s Connecticut Film Festival starts Friday, Dec. 5 at Bethel Cinema.

I know some of you are thinking “Wait a second. Wasn’t the Connecticut Film Festival held earlier this year in Danbury? Isn’t that how this blog, the most widely-read movie blog between 330 and 333 Main St., began?”

The answer is yes, the film festival culminated in May in Danbury with four (if i remember correctly) straight days of screenings, topped off by an awards ceremony.

However, it is a rolling movie festival, which travels to cities around the state — and it will again culminate in Danbury in the late spring of 2009.

That being said, the festival’s first event of the 2008-2009 season is Dec. 5 through Dec. 7 at the aforementioned Bethel Cinema.

The Bethel screenings will include some of the more popular movies shown during the 2007-2008 Connecticut Film Festival, along with a sneak peek at some of the new movies entered into the festival for the 2008-2009 season.

News-Times reporter Susan Tuz has a story on the way about a movie in the fest created by Ridgefield High School students and I’m giving festival organizer Tom Carruthers a call today to talk about the movies to screened next weekend in Bethel.

Here’s the trailer for the Ridgefield High flick playing next weekend in Bethel:

In the meantime, take a look at the Bethel Cinema Web site, where you can get a rundown of what’s playing, plus showtimes.

POLICE OF ROCKS? YOU MORON!

Posted by chainsaw under movies

Uw ga . . . I was just falling into the sewage, uh, I mean reader comment section of our Web site where I learned I wrote that a driver, apparently asleep at the wheel, drove into a “police of rocks.”

I was groggy as all get out when I wrote that story (and my two other cop briefs prior to 8 a.m.) after visiting the state PD, and it slipped through editing this morning.

The word should be “pile,” not police.

In the spirit of Jaime Kennedy’s “Heckled,” here are what our loyal online readers are saying about me:

“crashed into a police of rocks” next time Eugene have someone proof read your article before it is posted.

does the news-times require any sort of formal education for their employees?

(Answer: Not really, I’m on work release)

An 8th grade education is all that is required and in this day and age, they can’t read or write properly.

(And that dude’s from Tennessee, for God’s sake!)

The man’s truck drifted off the road, crashed into a police of rocks, then came to rest in a ditch

**** IS A POLICE OF ROCKS

(I believe the **** is Topix censoring “Eugene, you are a gifted and, I will assume, overworked writer. I would be honored if you called upon my daughter Gertrude, BUT WHAT IN THE @*&! IS A POLICE OF ROCKS)

Only one lowlife, from what I could see, tried to turn my embarrassing mistake into a cheap shot racist comment about illegal immigrants.
