“…I’m going to recommend you stay away from Variety camping gear and/or sex toys.”

yep, I was already wary of the “Italo tentpole perf” — though I admit being intrigued that it’s described as a “two-hander”

I thought only the sound of crickets could be found here? Ryan silenced the little buggers.

The problem with Variety camping gear is that the instructions on how to set the shit up are written in Varietese. When you show up at the campground and it’s almost dark and you’re already half-buzzed from the Schlitz you were knocking back in the car rocking out to your Creedence tapes and you’re staggering around trying to put the poles together for your Boffo 2-Man Tent and you’re all “What? Sched? Prexy? Ankled? Skein? WTF??”

So yeah. I’m going to recommend you stay away from Variety camping gear and/or sex toys.

I’d rather read them here — and let you do the dirty work of pulling the money quotes so I know what’s worth clicking.

Besides, every time we link to Variety we get 5 points — like Marlboro Miles and Camel Cash — redeemable for camping gear and stuff.

It seems like building a post out of someone else’s words should be easy, but it’s not.

I’m brewing another one with some lesser-known titles or you could just go to Cinematical or SpoutBlog and read for yourself since that’s where I’m getting most of the reviewage.

That’s not a cricket chirping. That’s my Native American guide Teetonka, signaling me that the Great White Chieftain Kennedy is nearby.

Seriously, there are half a dozen titles here I was curious about, and you’ve helped me narrow that down to the only 2 worth seeing.

I know what a task it can be to build a post like this packed with pithy quotes and proper attribution and netiquette links. And I’ve also found out that “If you build it they will come” only works if you’re Kevin Costner in a corn field (and even then it’s not a sure thing).

Your efforts are much appreciated by me and Teetonka (“he who stays up all night sipping peyote tea and watching Indie DVDs after everybody else has gone to bed”).

Can I just say that I’m sure nothing at SXSW could be as critically complex, multi-layered, and meticulously constructed as the multiple linkage tentacles of this perfectly balanced post?

I can only assume that a few explorers in this topic wandered off along one of the many intriguing pathways and were unable to find their way back from the world wide wilderness.

is everybody accounted for? …Oh my god. Has anyone seen Hedwig lately?
