SXSW: Monday Recommendations

Please hop on over to Hammer to Nail to read my review of Josh Safdie's exhilarating The Pleasure of Being Robbed. It's a knockout.

Later tonight, I'll be rocking a pretty amazing double-feature. Yeast at seven and FrontRunners at nine. Superficially these films are very different, but if you're twisted like me you'll be smiling and laughing through both the entire time.

Last night's experience watching The Wire with four other devoted followers was a legendary one. As we left the hotel room and got on the elevator, we started to discuss the event. One floor later, a couple got on. As we were talking, I thought, These people must think we're total dorks. And that is when the guy interjected with some insider info of his own. We asked him if they had just watched the episode, at which point he pulled open his jacket to reveal a t-shirt promoting a fictional campaign of Clay Davis. It was a beautiful reminder that when you think you're the only dork in the world, there are bigger dorks standing right beside you.

For those of you who don't know who Clay Davis is, here ya go...
