Metroactive.com’s reviewers keep working their DVD players overtime previewing Cinequest films (read full coverage of festival). Richard von Busack found this gem and recommends it to both film and book fans:
*Who Is K.K. Downey?
(U.S.) “He said, ‘Hey, kid. Do you want to snort some China?’ I liked the way it sounded, like I could fit an entire country up my nose. It was my eighth birthday.” The excerpt is from a book called Truck Stop Hustler by K.K. Downey. In this brilliant, scuffling comedy, “Downey” bears a haunting likeness to defrocked literary lot–lizard JT LeRoy, author of a book titled The Publicist Is Deceitful Above All Things, or something similar to that. Terrance (co-writer and director Darren Curtis) is a whiner, a stalker and a punching bag for even bigger post-punk blowhards in Montreal’s cramped music scene. His band Black Guts has just imploded. He’s separated from the love of his life, the performance artist Sue (Kristin Adams), who is treacherously taken up by Connor Rooney (co-director/writer Pat Kiely), vicious critic-at-large from Gaze magazine. (The swine is seen literally whacking off over a picture of Voltaire.) In such a scene, Terence’s best pal forever, Theo (Matt Silver), can’t hope to get his novel Truck Stop Hustler published. To fool the public into thinking they’re getting the real thing, Terence is talked into posing with fright wig, fedora and shades as the author of a hard-hitting, no-hold-barred, all-expenses-paid journey through the underaged truck-stop sex trade. (“I licked places nobody should have to lick!”) The only one unconvinced by the charade is Rooney, who is determined to undo “this no-talent she-man.” All of this would make for an amusing sketch if it weren’t for a fine third-act surprise and the superior comic timing of the leads. Silver’s Theo, for instance, makes a fine pop-fly-size arc from bleating alterna-schlub to a figure of Tony Hendra–esque malice. Curtis could be the Buscemi for a new century, and Adam’s cozy Drew Barrymore silliness is endearing. By far the funniest film I’ve seen at this year’s Cinequest. (RvB)

And it happens, again! Publishers must be gullible, gullible people….

I really like your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you make this website yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you? Plz respond as I’m looking to create my own blog and would like to find out where u got this from. cheers
Does your website have a contact page? I’m having problems locating it but, I’d like to send you an e-mail. I’ve got some recommendations for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great blog and I look forward to seeing it improve over time.
Awesome blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m completely confused .. Any ideas? Thanks a lot!
Throughout the awesome pattern of things you actually receive an A+ for effort. Exactly where you actually misplaced me was first on the details. As it is said, the devil is in the details… And that could not be much more true right here. Having said that, let me inform you what exactly did deliver the results. Your text is pretty engaging which is probably the reason why I am taking the effort to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, even though I can certainly see a jumps in reasoning you come up with, I am not necessarily sure of exactly how you appear to unite the details which inturn make your final result. For the moment I will, no doubt yield to your position however hope in the future you actually link the facts better.
Howdy this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I agree completely with what you were discussing. Good Read. Keep it going..
Hmm it looks like your website ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any recommendations for first-time blog writers? I’d definitely appreciate it.
Only wanna comment on few general things, The website design and style is perfect, the content is really good. “The sun sets without thy assistance.” by The Talmud.
Hi there, simply become aware of your weblog through Google, and located that it is truly informative. I am going to watch out for brussels. I’ll appreciate if you happen to continue this in future. A lot of other people will probably be benefited from your writing. Cheers!
Thanks for your article. It’s very unfortunate that over the last one decade, the travel industry has already been able to to tackle terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, bird flu virus, swine flu, along with the first ever entire global economic collapse. Through all of it the industry has proven to be effective, resilient and dynamic, acquiring new methods to deal with hardship. There are often fresh problems and opportunities to which the industry must again adapt and behave.
This genuinely answered my issue, thank you!
We are a gaggle of volunteers and opening a brand new scheme in our community. Your website provided us with helpful information to paintings on. You’ve performed an impressive task and our entire group might be thankful to you.
