A good handful of these look good, though I don't share your opinion on Fuqua. Black Dynamite, Dead Snow, Mystery Team, and Moon all have my interest.
As to your second question (or would that be your 3rd?) I'm looking forward to seeing Big Fan, Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, Black Dynamite, Mystery Team and The Missing Person.
I wasn't able to get tickets (either because they were sold out or due to schedule conflicts) to 5 Minutes of Heaven, Cold Souls, Bronson or An Education which is lame. After seeing the trailer to Bronson I'm even more bummed I'm not going to see that one.
Also looking forward to "Brief Interviews" (John Krasinski is amazing) and "The Informers" (I read a New York Times article about it, and it sounds insane).
Also, not mentioned, I'm looking forward to "Cold Souls" which sounds like it could have been written by Kaufman (Giamatti (ironically) plays himself, an actor that during an existential crisis decides to explore "soul extraction" as a relief from the burdens of daily life) and stars Paul Giamatti, who is awesome.
I really wish I could go, but unfortunately, high school exists.
If you are looking to get some kind of gauge on what kind of comedy you might be seeing you should check out some of their videos.
Some of the names I can think off of my head "Kid Parkinsons" "Bro Rape" "Mad Hatters Disease"
Then there is the video where a kid wants a new bike from his parents...but they won't give it to him so he hires a hitman who kills his family after he tried to call it off. But his parents already got him the bike, so it's okay.
Or there is WQXR the Cool Breeze where a wolf traps the DJs in the studio. And the DJs keep up their show and continue to broadcast like they are just doing their regular show sound effects and all, oh, and the entire station has been killed other than the 2 DJs.
Remember these are all comedies.
I refuse to acknowledge Marv because Mickey's role in Sin City is nothing compared to The Wrestler. Watch The Wrestler then come back and make a new point.
You're too busy making movies with your girlfriend?
Her?
However Mystery Team, that is just kick face that you had it on the list! Man I love these guys their videos are hilarious and I was excited to see they were making a full length movie. The trailer looks great. I can’t wait to see the movie.
Pierce, Robert Duvall). Don't know if it's a Sundance movie, but it looks very interesting...
Neil, I will be at Sundance as well and I will buy you a drink
after having gone to the Sundance for the last few years, the quality is not in the Jim Carrey, Billy Bob Thornton, Winona Ryder films, it's in the 'below the radar' foreign films and documentaries with no name actors, and hardworking rookie directors who busted their ass and faced immeasurable competition to get into the festival.
every big star 'indie' Sundance film has been a massive disappointment over the last few years. the few that made it through (barely) are Waitress and The Wackness which in retrospect weren't really that good.
