Andy and I may end up being the only ones in the theater unless they advertise a little better, I didn't know anything about it until Steve put this up!!

I can't stand the way the Tribeca Film Festival is run. They withhold WAY too many tickets and release very few to the public. It's like some ridiculous NY insiders game. Total BS if you ask me. I go to very few movies there for that reason.

Too many movies as well....too much mediocrity overall.

Tell me about it, I just tried to buy a ticket on the website, "walk up sales only"

The only film I've ever seen at the Tribeca Film Festival was The Cooler, which was a fantastic movie. All the rest are too artsy and/or bizarre for my tastes.

It didn't get horrible reviews. I liked it until the ending.

Maria Bello is in it....that's pretty much enough for me.

We actually almost bought it the other day and that is the only reason I remembered it.

'Cooler' was terrific.. A tremendous performance by the Bloviator himself, Alec Baldwin, being particularly memorable..

The best thing I ever saw there was a screening of a movie Al Pacino made with Jerry Orbach called " Chinese Coffee " and I only got in because I ran into a friend of mine, who's connected, and she had tickets. De Niro and Pacino talked beforehand, which was cool, but the whole idea that the public basically can't get in turns me off. It's just too much of a pain in the azz.

I once bought tickets to a screening of a movie with a french actress I really like and she was supposed to be there for a Q&A and the tickets were fairly steep because of this. So, what happens....she doesn't show up. No apology, offer of refunds, just a letter from her and we were supposed to thank her for her consideration. It was preposterous. The movie was good but it also opened a week later and I could have seen it for a quarter of the price.

I don't even bother anymore and only bought tickets for this movie because I figured I might not get a chance to see it and it was available the day the tickets went on sale on-line. Most aren't even available then...and I'm talking the American Express advance sales. It's completely ridiculous.
